PHILOSOPHY OF THE SMILE.
Habit Formed by the Association Of
Agreeable Impressions.


Smiling has been studied from
physical standpoint by George Du-
mas, a French psychologist, and his
conclusions on why we smile are pub
lished in the Literary Digest, trans
lated and condensed from the Revue
Scientifique. M. Dumas produced ar
tificial smiles by applying an electric
current to the nerves under the lobe
Of the ear.
"The muscles concerned in smiling
were made to contract, and the op-
posing muscles remained quiescent,
but the action of the members of the
smiling-group was unequal, so that
most of the electric smiles that the
experimenter obtained seemed to in
dicate grief rather than joy, particu-
larly since the contraction around the
eye exceeded that around the mouth.
Nevertheless, he considers the result
a triumph for his theory, and exhibits
with pride photograph of 'unilat-
eral smile caused by electric excita.
tion of only one side of the face"
He says smile may appear with
out any psychologist excitation and in
itself has no expressive value "And
man" he says, has formed the habit
of assoclating the muscular sensa-
tions and the sight Of these move
ments with an agreeable impression,
so that he regards them as a sign ex-
pressive of this state of pleasure. To
manifest 1t he has formed, by asso-
citation, the habit of smiling and of
considering the smile of others as an
evidence of their satisfaction.
We have learned to smile in different
ways to indicate irony, indulgence,
etc, and the accentuation of the
movements of different muscles has
assumed the same value as a shrug
of the shoulders, the raising of the
head or the pronunciation of certain
syllables or words. 1t is thus that
psychologist progress has made of the
smile keyboard on which we play
with more or less skill.
THE Oriental, especially the Jap.
anese. always smiles out of polite
ness, even when he is sad, because It
is social fault to sadden a stranger.
He has reached the maximum of self.
mastery and, in sense, a superior
state of psychologist progress and Of
civilization"
M. Dumas says animals do not
smile with their faces because their
facial muscles are not, as in man, the
most mobile. Those of his tail are a
dogs most mobile muscles, therefore
he smiles by moving his tail, and
this movement has a tendency, even
in his case, to become a real gesture
Cats also smile with the tail, and per.
haps also birds; the electile muscles
OF the feathers and tail are, with the
magpie, for instance, real smiling
muscles"

GLASS Broken by the voioe.

1t is scarcely credible, but 1t is a
fact that a glass can be broken by
the voice. If you strike a thin wine
glass while you hold it by the stem
It will emit certain note-in most
cases pretty deep one. On
lifting the glass rapidly to your
mouth and shouting into 1t the same
note as loudly as possible. the vibra-
tion OF the glass being thereby ex-
tended, 1t will be shivered into frag-
ments. This used to be a favorite
experiment of Lablanche. the re-
nowned singer, who would thus
break, one after the other. as many
glasses as were handed to him

In making public tributes TO the
late Thomas Bailey Aldrich from well
known writer's, Talbot b. Aldrich,
son OF the poet. told how the famous
author approached death, with his
mind filled with poetical thoughts.
Mr.. Aldrich said:
"My father died poet. Only a
little while before the end he said: i
regard death as nothing but the pass
ing OF the shadow of the fiower.'
"His last words as he passed away,
holding our hands, were:

OF oronze suspended as memorial in
the temple.
When old age came Diocles built
himself hut out of branches of will
low near the quarries of Pentelicus.
He left the city and lived far from
men. Athenians are not slow at for
getting, and on the occasion when he
came to market to purchase bread
and olives his friends did not recog-
nize him.
Several Olympiads rolled by. His
hair had turned white, his form was
bent to the ground, his eyes were
sunk deep In their sockets. Time
had robbed him of his strength. But
one hope upheld him, nevertheless,
the hope that before leaving the light
of the sun he might see Supreme
| Truth, the eternal mother of all uni
versal fact. And he even allowed
himself to hope that IL, after the Anal
revelation, Atropos should refrain
from cutting the thread of his years,
he would return to the city bringing
| men a greater gift than they had re-

1t came at length, the ultimate
mystic night, when the goddess once
more wrapped him in her arms and
brought him to the heaven-piercing
mountains, face to face with Truth.
Behold" she said, what glory!
What splendor! But before you ex'
tend your hand for the last time,
listen to me. The wells which, year
after year, through so many years,
have fallen from your hands and es'
capped in the form of swans, were
your illusions. VIII you spare the
last one? Or does fear cramp your
heart? Retreat before it is too late.
From these heights will carry you
back to your native land, where you
may end your days like other men,"
"To this single moment my whole
life has been consecrated," cried Dio-
cles, and with beating heart he ap-
preached the radiant form whose
glory dazzled him. With trembling
hands he seized the last veil, tore II
of, and cast 1t behind him. In the
very same instant the old mans eyes
were as IL struck with thunderbolt,
and he was plunged into darkness,
compared with which the densest
night of Hades were brilliant day
light. In the midst of 1t the voice
of Diocles, heavy with inexpressible
terror and infinite grief, was heard
calling: athena! oh, Athena!
There is nothing behind the veil, and
cannot even see you"
To this cry of despair the goddess
responded, severely: "The full light
has blinded you, and your last illu'
sion-the belief that a mortal might
see Truth unveiled-has flown"
Then silence fell.
Diocles sobbed: "Those who trust
you, you ever deceive. Me, too, you
have betrayed, cruel goddess of lies
But since 1 nevermore can hope tc
see Truth Supreme, send me at least
, the death which liberates."
There was more than human dolol
, in his words, and Athena was moved

head and said gently: II will sent

, When death shall have brought yo,

alive"

Lake Balaton.

geography could tell where this In.

1t has recently been the subject OF
special investigation by the Hunga.

the great plain of Hungary at an al.
titude of 343 feet, and has an area of
about 230 square miles. Watering
places have grown up at the mineral
springs on its shores. The ethnology
OF the region about the lake is par.
ticularly interesting. Some of the In.
habitants near its banks dwell In
caves dug in the hillsides. Many of
the caves. now abandoned, are high

GIRLS EVIDENCE
SHOULD CONVICT
Senator CaIIiSter Would Make
Unique Change in Evidence
Needed in Seduction Cases.
WOULD BE FIRST OF KIND
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT GIVEN.

CorrOborating evidence should not be
necessary in a seduction case. provided
the girl making the accusation has borne
good reputation. according 20 Senator
Callister of Willard county The senator
will probably introduce a bill in the near
future making the necessary amendments
in the present laws of evidence governing
such cases conform to his ideas.
Such an enactment would be unique i'm
the annals of criminal legislation in the
country ana it is said that no state az
present has such a rule of procedure. 1t
is contrary to all the old common law
rules governing evidence and is q radical
usage.
In speaking of the contemplated meas
ure Senator Callister said:
ITO my mind there is no more henous
crime than seduction and every effort
should le made to punish the vioators of
young womanhOOd. The Seduccr by his
act disgraees forever his innocent vic
tim and often drives her TO that lowest
estate Of woinanhOod, q life of shame. At
present II is extremely difficult TO Sc
cure convictions IN these cases because
Of the necessity of corroborating evil
dencc. This can seldom be found and
believe that the rule should be that il
the girls previous reputation is good her
testimony alone should be enough 10 con-
Wet. The reasons for this are obvious.
No young woman with = previous good
cuSatiOn against man unless 1T is true.
There would. therefore. be no danger Of
convicting en- innocent party and the ac-
cused could not well say he was not sur
rounded by all the safeguards the law
affords.

INDORSED BY COMMITTEES
Senator Hollingsworth's Bill on Con-
duct of Prosecution of Charges
Against Officials Recommended.

The senate judiciary committee at a
meeting after the session yesterday after
noon recommended for passage Senator
HollingswOrth bill regulating the con-
duct of the prosecution of officials
charged with malfeasance or misfeasance
i'm office. The bill has attracted cOnsid-
cradle attention as it provided that be-
fore any official could be removed from
office twenty-five property holders would
have to sign a rresentment TO the district
court stating they believed him guilty of
the offense charged. If upon presenta-
ton to a jury the charge is found true
the judge would pass sentence accord
ingly.
Before being recommended for passage
the bill was so amended that five in
stead of twenty-five property holders can
present such an accusation. This change
was made in view of the fact that often,
while a charge might be true, those who
did not have personal knowledge OF the
matter would be reluctant TO sign such
a document upon mere hearsay testimony.
a similar bill was introduced in the house
by Representative -Nuchlcr. Both meas
ures are the outgrowth Of the recent
prosecutions in Ogden.

He probably meant Il.

estlnS. If the combination that controls
the legislature has decided to hold up

held in the fall of 1908. when presidential
electors, Judges and a full set OF state

such campaign the consolidation issue
might be carried one way or the other
py only small percentage Oft the voters,
Tor great many would be sure TO forget

HulIs decision will be regarded as a
GOOD one by some people. But there are
legislators who may possibly object TO

the Republican party for preferment pur-
poses a few years ago, after the Demo-
Gratis mad refused To give him q Job.
However, Hull and the combination with
which lac trains the SmOot-Spry- Callster
OUTFIT are in absolute and entire control
as far as appearances go. Nothing can
be put through either house without their
