WHY HAIR TURNS GRAY.

The color Of the hair depends on little
granules, which can be seen Il the hair
be examined under a powerful micro
scope. Sometimes the hair may become
white in a night. BroWn-Sequard tells
MS that when he was 45 years old bis
beard turned white in two days. This
took place when he was perfectly well
and without any especial cause Some
times however, sorrow or illness pro
duces the change earlier in life than it
would usually take place. As 10 the
cause, some have said that the hair be-
comes filed with small air-particles
which make il look gray; Others have
said that the outer part Of The hair be-
comes altered so that il is Ike ground
glass and you cannot see the color. But
d man by the name of Metchmkoh tells
us that the real reason is because small
movable bodies IN the hair devor the
grains of ooloring matter and move them
to the root OF the hair. Sometimes poison
in disease, or some results of sorrow, bring
about an effect upon these small migrating
bodies (colls), causing them TO become
active in the above fashion. That is said
to be the reason why the hair grows gray.
