What Makes Hair Turn Gray ?

Although usually regarded as sign
CT age, gray hair, or canities. as it is
called in the language of medicine. is
not always 80. 1t may appear early
in life, even in the teens. In that
case it usually affects young women
rather than young men.
A popularity about the gray hair
of the young is that it is almost al
entirely white, and becomes 80 sud-
denly. All the hairs are equally af-
fected, and one seldom sees the mixed
color, or iron gray, so common in
those of middle or advanced age.
Sometimes in the young, even iu
children, there is one gray lock like
an island in the sea of normally col
ored hair about it. This ia usually a
family popularity, occurring in one
generation after the other.
The cause of the hair turning gray
is something that puzzles the doctors.
The color of the hair is due to the
deposit of pigment in the interior of
each hair, and grayness follows the
loss of this pigment That ia self.
evident, but the puzzle is what causes
the pigment to disappear. Some have
believed that it is due to the dryin :
of the hair, which causes shrinkage
of it's fbres, and 80 allo vs. the entrance
of air bubbles, the refraction Of light
from which then gives the white ap
pearance.
The proof which is adduced in sup.
port of this belief is that if gray
hair is put into the receiver Of an air
pump and the air is then exhausted
the color OF the hair may return more
or less completely.
Metchnikof, the famous bacteriolo-
gist, says the cause OF grayness is the
penetration into the hair of wander
ing cells, resembling the white blood
corpuscles. These cells, assisted by
other cells, the aggregation of which
makes the hair, sieze upon the granules
of pigment and destroy them.
Nearly everyone has read of iu-
stances of the sudden bleaching of the
hair-even in a single nigbt-under
the influence of fear, grief or some
other intense mental emotion. That
such cases have occurred IS undoubt.
ed, but the explanation by either of
the theories above mentioned is diff.
cult.
There is no cure for gray hair so
far as is known. The use of curling
irons is said to retard it's formation
perhaps, if Metchnikoff is right, by
Destroying the activity Of the cells
which consume the pigment.

Gounod's Old Guitar.

St Cloud is about to do honor TO
the memory of Gounod. The illustri.
Gus composer at one time lived there,
and for years inhabited a pretty villa
at Montretout, where he composed
the greater number of his MASTER
pieces.
During the FrancoPrussi war the
German soldiers sacked the property
and burned down the house. Every.
thing was destroyed with the excep-
ton of guitar. which to-day is to be
seen in the Opera museum. This gui.
tar is precious to admirers OF Faust
and "Mireille" for more than one rea'
son, for 1t is said that its chords re-
sounded to the composers first musi
cal conceptions. II bears in the cen.

FOND OF MYSTERY
ALL PEOPLE HAVE SOME TRACE
OF SUPERSTITION.
Pet Belief In Luck, Good or Bad, Is
Common Lot Of Mankind, Ac-
cording to DR.. Vincent
of Chicago.

People like mystery--mysticism
Some oldtime superstitions are dying
out, but for each of them new one
comes-sometimes two"
DIR. George Il. Vincent Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago made this remark
just after he had finished talk to
students at manual training high
school, says the Kansas City. Star.
The first / ever knew of supersu-
tions," he said, was when my father
broke a mirror at home. 1t worried
him, and asked my mother why.
"Tt's bad luck. she said
"'Bad luck, / pondered. Why Is 1t
bad luck?' 1t was a mystery to me.
But began learning something about
these mysterious beliefs. 1t brings
bad luck to cut the cord on a pack
age, they told me. 1T should be un-
tied.' It's bad luck to put on the left
shoe first and its bad luck to get out
on the wrong side Of bed No one
knows why all these things bring evil.
but many persons believe they do.
In the south so many superstitions
originate among the negroes that they
are almost innumerable. No one ex-
plains the reasons for their 'voodoos.'
Some superstitions are sensible.
For instance. II is said bad luck will
come If one passes beneath a ladder.
Maybe 1t will Maybe some persons
have been taught valuable lessons In
passing beneath them. II is uncom-
Portable to have a bucket of paint or
an ak dropped on ones head. Perhaps
this superstition originated from some
one who underwent such an expert
ence. ...
"The belief that II you pass a pin
without picking 1t up you will have
bad luck originated many years ago.
Pins we're costly then and children
were taught to pick them up and keep
them for their value. They formed
the habit, and II has been handed
down from generation to generation
until II has become superstition.
Perhaps some children who did not
pick up pins had bad luck when they
got home-bad luck administered by
the parent, forcibly and quickly, and
with singing effect"
DR.. Vincent smiled when he spoke
of the number 13. So many persons
are afraid of It he did not deem it
worthy of mention.
Last week DR.. Vincent was lectur-
ing on the subject, Superstition" He
declared that everyone had some par
ticular superstition to which Difference
was shown. An old woman who had
listened attentively arose and declared
she had none.
None at all?" she was asked

side nudged her

She blushed and took her seat And
Of course the audience laughed.

FIND PARALLEL IN slsLa.
Similarity In Careers Of King David
and King Arthur.

The history of King David, as re-
lated in the Second Book of Samuel,
is full of parallels to Arthur. David's
"enown begins with his fight against
the giant Goliath, who Is the proto-
type of all giants in the romances OF
The Middle Ages They belong al
rays to the army Of heather, provoke
the faithful knights, and are con-
quered by them. Important In this
connection is the number of the
knights Of the Round Table, says the
Jewish Chronicle. They are the ia
nous AZ to whom Arthur resorts on
occasion Of danger, and each Of whom
welding the spear or hnadling the
sword. Now the explanation of this
number is to be found in the Bible.
II you glance at chapter xii In the
Second Book of Samuel, and again at
chapter TX in the First Book Of Chron-
icles, you will find list of the mighty
men Of David, and their number varies
between 40 and AS
Again, in the history OF Arthur, we
find two sfurther episodes resembling
two episodes in the life Of David. The
one is the provocation of Lucius tt
berius-a fictitious name--his naughty
demeanor, his war against Arthur,
and his defeat, which seems to be
only an adaptation in English form OF
the war between David and Hanun
the king of the Ammonites, who
haughtily had provoked David, treat
ing disrespectfully his messengers
The other episode treats of the rebel
lion of Mordred, the nephew of Ar
thur, against his uncle, and is copy
of the rebellion of Absalom against
his father, David. Both rebels were
afterward routed in battle. Jewish
legend speaks of miraculous sword
belonging not to David, but to his
chief captain, Joab. akin to the Call
bur of Arthur; likewise mysterious
hand grasps the keys Of the temple
after Its destruction, like the mys
terious hand which took back tha
sword of Calibur.

World DEVELOPMENT.

The hypothesis of world develop
ment from spiral nebulae. which was
so widely discussed about 20 years
ago, but which of late years has been
seriously questioned, has been
strengthened somewhat recently by
the explanation that worlds are
formed not by the condensation OF
rings gradually solidified from tenu-
Gus nebulae. but rather by great
masses thrown off or detached from
the parent mass of nebula by the
centrifugal force OF the rotation.
Photographs Of nebulae disclose such
masses in process of detachment, and
most astronomers are now inclined to
the belief that this is the way In
which all planetary bodies have been
formed. The heavens show thousands
OF spiral nebulae which are evidently
IL state of rotation in central nuclei,
and which indicate that they will
probably be consolidated into suns
and solar systems similar to our own
