As to Blushing.

Not every one would consider that to
blush indicates special intelligence. yet
blushing Is an e-ninentIy human attribute,
and Darwin says that 1T would require
an overwhelming amount OF evidence TO
make US beueve that any animal could
blush Idiots toe, rarely blush" It is q
fact that the nerves have an effect even
on the circulation OF the blood, and the
very pulse at our wrist is not due only
to the heart throbs, but to an organism
called. the vaso-motor system-thread-Ii
nerves distributed TO the walls Of the blood
vessels and making a regular pulsing mo-
tion as they force the blood along These
blood vessels are related closely both to
the cerebro-spiHaI and the sympathetic
system, hence the reason for the effect Of
sudden shock, Of the paIior produced by
fear, the crimson blush of shame, and the
flush of rage These are really psyche
phenomena, and indicate the remarkable
vascular changes caused by feelings Of the
mind. Biushing really is a sort of mo-
mentary paralysis or suspension Of the
vase motor nerve influence, and the oppo-
site emotion of fear either stimulates the
contractors OF the tiny capillary vessels Of
sometimes perr&ts their action By sus-
pending the cerebral influence.

their example. The men so employed will
spend 4 large part of the time IN TIE for
