French Author Publishes Book in

A very curious book, by NJ Henri
Bergson, of Paris, called lie Rire,"
has been published, in which the au-
thor explains why we laugh. He has
a novel theory to account fer our
laughter, which is that automatism is
the real genesis of the comical
In gesture, says Mr.. Bergson, the
movements Of the human body are
laughable in the exact degree in which
that body reminds us of a mechanism
For instance, why do We laugh when
az orator, making an eloquent gesture,
upsets the, glass of water placed be-
: fore him? We do not laugh because
the motion was an unexpected one,
but because the body ceased to be I'M
der control, and was mechanical. a..
Had the speechmaker had an apo
plectic stroke it would have been just
as unexpected, but we should not have
laughed. Speeches which make US
laugh, M. Bergson goes on, are those
which come out automatically Fol

& "A new danger has been added tosthe

round the habit of kissing. According
to Dencer Whites, a lecturer on dental e: al
histology and pathology At. Birming-
ham, England, university the craW craW
disease, common on the west coast of
Africa, has been introduced into this
country. Birming ham, he says, has
hundreds of cases, while traces OF the
disease have been found in many other
places. - p -. !. = j.. .s:.. y
The disease is due to the presence OF
the nematode worm, which has a pc
culiar penchant for destroying the white
corpuscles in the blood. The chief
symptom is an intense itching of the
skin. -
kissing, Mr. Whites asserts, is one
of the means by which the disease is IS
seminated. There are large numbers
of counting couples suffering from craw-
craw in Birmingham, he said, and often
er than not one transmits the disease
to the other by kissing
In one case which came under his OBJ
servation the engaged girl was kissed
by her sweetheart, who was victim OF
the disease. Shortly afterward she
complained of terrible itching. The
trouble was incorrectly diagnosed, and
the young woman, who slept with her
sister. transmitted the diseae" and the
latter passed it on to yo1 aer
Thus -four persons becs44..e a..ected
through kissing.
In another c"se, a Armaid went to
see her BROTH soldier, on his return
from war. They kissed each other, and
the result was the young woman q few
days subsequently complained OF intense
itching of the skin.
The soldier was unaware of the fact

Il entertained certain bishop last

it was impossible to procure Euro

many apologies, that they must be

fed with that, the general ordered that
the huge portions of rice allowed each

said the Father of Soldiers" At the
same time he announced that to-mOr-
row would be day of rest, writes
Baron Gottberg, in Louisville Courier
Journal.
When I started out next morning TO
once more ride over the battlefield, the
part used for burial places looked not
unlike a soldiers cemetery at home On
Easter day. The several hundred
graves were strewn with field flowers
and green twigs, some being literally
covered with many-colored blossoms
and leaves. And there were more and
more of these every minute, for every
man not detained by wounds or duty,
came to visit the dead, and every visit
or brought flowers or greens to stick
into the ground with the expressed
wish that they grow and flourish
not to die like the good friends. And
then each grave, brave man1grave in
duty, but smiling in death-drew forth
his notebook and jotted down the
name and date on each headpiece.
These he will report as soon as he
comes home. Thus the official lists
are constantly reinforced, and, if need
be, corrected, and Japan loses the
name of none of her numerous he
rOes.
l was astonished to learn that the
Japanese government has no intention
to bring home the bodies of the fallen.
