Laugh and grow fat is an old say
ing. and there is more than a little
truth in it, asserts n doctor. THE con-
vulsive movements which we call
laughter exert a very real effect upon
the bodily framework. They cause the
arteries to dilate, so that they carry
more blood to the tissues of the body
and the heart to beat more rapidly. so
that the flow of the blood through the
vessels is FASTENED. In other words.
laughter promotes the very best condi-
tons for an increase of the vital
processes; the tissues take up more
nutritive material and the waste prod
ucts are more promptly removed. 4
good laugh sends an increased flow of
blood to the brain; this Immediately
causes that instrument of thought to
work better, with the result that
gloomy forebodings are sent packing"

Origin of the Bowery.

Even many native New Workers do
not know how the Bowery came by its
name, according to the Pittsburg Dis
patch, which thus proceeds to their en-
lightenment: No less a person than the
famous old one legged Governor Peter
Stuyvesant was responsible for it.
When the city of New Amsterdam
sprang into existence many farmers
from Holland came over to seek their
fortune i'll the new world, among them
old Peter. They settled outside the
town and proceeded to develop the
land by clearing away the woods and
planting it with grain, fruit trees and
ornamental shrubs they had brought
with them. Peter Stuyvesant called
his residence and grounds the Bou-
werie, and the lane connecting it with
New Amsterdam became known as
Bouwerie lane, the settlement itself
taking the name of Bouwerie village.
Stuyvesant'S farm extended from the
junction of what is now Third and
Fourth avenues to Seventeenth street
and eastward to Second avenue. where
at the corner ef Tenth street his home
was located

Children and Play.

Play distinguishes the higher from
the lower animals, and ii signifies pos
sibility of education. Fishes do not
play at all, the lower mammals can
hardly be taught TO play, and birds are
entirely devoid of the instinct. But the
kitten and the lamb are essentially
playing animals The human young.

Words and Ideas.

Definite words are necessary for the
expression of definite ideas; hence sci
entific terms have TO be employed. A
term has one definite meaning which
does not change with time. The rush
of affairs drifts words from their orig
inal meanings. as ships drag their an
chOrs in gale, but terms sheltered
from common use hold to their moor
ings forever. The word let" for eX-
ample. has drifted in 200 years from
meaning hinder" until now it means
permit" but tile term "bisect' has re-
manned unaltered in significance for
centuries .-EngineerinG Record

EXERTS AN AWFUL POWER.
Most Tremendous Force in
Existence.

When dynamite explodes it leaves lit
tie to mark the spot where it has lain
save evidences of it's destructiveness.
Two interesting exhibits of it's force are
shown in the Stevens Institute of Tech
nology at Hoboken, N. J. They are steel
blocks, six inches in diameter and four
inches thick, showing respectively the
impression of an oak leaf and the i'm
print of the headline of a western news
paper. 1t was during a test of high ex-
plosives that cartridge of dynamite
was placed on newspaper covering the
block of steel, the object being to see
how much dynamite would be required
to split the metal.
The dynamite was fired without injury
to the steel, but to the surprise of the
experimenter the print of the newspa-
per was deeply pressed into the metal.
The experiment was repeated, with the
same result, and then was elaborated by
trying the charge on a oak leaf placed
between the block and the dynamite.
This time the stem and the ribs of the
leaf were deeply impressed in the metal.
What happens is this" said the ex-
pert in charge. unlike most other ex-
plosives, dynamite exerts practically all
its crushing force downward and not in
a general direction So inconceivably
quick and forceful is the discharge of this
powder that the imprint of the ribs of
an oak leaf are made before the leaf has
time to be blown to atoms. In the case
of the newspaper it appears that where
printers ink touches the paper the pa
per is hardened and more capable of re-
sistance than in other places, and so it
is that before the paper is destroyed the
printing on it is forced deep into the
metal"

Truthful Reporter Says Fowl Weighs

Harry Pinkham, of Nevada, Story

which is indeed a monstrosity and has
attracted a great deal of attention at
the various places at which it has been
exhibited by Mr.. Pinkham. The fowl,
which is little over two years of age,
weighs IA pounds, and has been ex-
hibited at the fat stock show at Chica-
go, at Des Moines at the Iowa state
fair, and will be taken to st. Louis to
be exhibited this summer at the Lou
isiana Purchase exposition. The enor-
nous weight of the goose has been too
heavy for its web feet, and in order to
protect the goose from the frozen
ground this winter Mr.. Pinkham made
for the fowl a pair of rubber shoes
which fit on the two web feet The
goose has been in the habit of laying
an egg about every day, and these eggs
are of enormous size, being as large as
an ordinary water bottle, and the land
