LAUGHING.
The Wide Difference that Is Noticed
Among Various Methods.

Among various
In all the wide range of evolution
airy studies there is nothing quite so
interesting to me as the wide differ
ence in the matter of laughing" said
a thoughtful man, and | have often
wondered why some man with chances
TO observe the differences, not only
among individuals belonging to the
same racial group, but among races
had not developed the more striking
difference. We have dealt with other
important differences, the difference in
vocal range and tone. We have deyel-
oped in our evolutionary studies the
marked differences between the music
OF primitive and civilized peoples, the
broad differences. for instance, be
tween the simple m%onotonous scaue
of the Fijlan and that complex bit of
sublimated harmony the symphony.
Why not develop the range of laughter
among individuals and races? 1t would
be an easy matter to do this. Besides,
what nor cheerful study can one pur-
sue than the study of laughter?
What more alluring theme can we
find in the whole category of subjects
relating TO human kind? Laughter
To think of 1t is to smile, to enthuse,
to become CHEEKY, to see things of the
world through the rosy glasses of opti-
mism. Laughter is music. 1t Is the
bubbling forth of the finer things OF
the human voice. 1t is perfected mu-
sic. 1t is the sum total, the final all,
in the matter of welded, rhythmical
tones. Yet men and women laugh IL

Men may write and write, and men
may think and think, but without the
printer their thought would be of lit
tie value to the world. Among all the
trades there Is not one more honorable
or important than that of the printer,
the man who edges up the metallic
messengers of thought with nimble
fingers or who manipulates with dex-
ferrous hand the keyboard of that mar
velous invention which continually ex-
cites intelligent wonder and admira-
ton, the linotype, that monument TO
Otto Mergenthaler's genius which the
wisest man should be proud to claim.
The composing and press rooms of a
great modern daily newspaper never
ceases to be impressive TO the thought
full man, even though his days and
nights may be spent therein. The
world cannot do without the printer.

Figures will not lie, goes the maxim.
but figures do sometimes prevarlcate.
Perhaps 1t would be better TO say that
ous inference 10 be drawn from them.
This has received illustration in the
analysis of vital statistics made by the
Insurance ~actuaries of the world at
their recent convention In New York.
The actuaries, that is, have discovered
that while the average of longevity
has increased as a matter of figures 1t
has not increased as a matter of prae-
teal value. In other words, people
grown-up people-do not live any
longer than their great-great-grand-
fathers lived. They do not live as
long. The average of longevity has
been. brought up by figuring in the In
FAINT mortality. which has greatly de-
creased owing to improved modern
methods of infant hygiene, diet and
sanitation. Grown-ups do not share in
the added longevity. Thanks to steam
heat, adulterated food, high-pressure
business methods and other foes of
vitality, the twentieth century adult
Is at "a disadvantage as compared with
his forefathers, even though he enjoys
better medical attendance when he is
sick. So that the average OF longev-
ity" rs a delusion and a snare Just as
the average of anything else is likely
to be. We may, for example, reason
that the climate of a city whose
mean temperature is 60 degrees ought
to be mild and equable, but If we in
vestlgate and find that the thermom-
eter ranges between 100 above zero
In summer and 20 below zero In win
Ter we realize the unrellability of mean
temperatures. What bas occurred TO
the average of longevity" is
that the mortality among the weak has
diminished; there has been no Increase
Of vitality among the strong. The
number of weakllngs Is, therefore,
greater. and the condition of the mass
has consequently deteriorated rather
than advanced.
