Laughter a Series of Banks.

Laughing is barking, say the sci.
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while series of short
barks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the banks may be,
they are barks. The laugh begins
with a sudden and violent contraction
of the muscles of the chest and abb
domen. But instead OF opening to let
the air pass out of the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold it
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant, and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. AS
it does SO it makes the vocal cords vi.
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation of
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
itself again and again at intervals Of
quarter of second. There are thus
in hearty laugh four banks a second,
and if continued, they go on at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lungs holds out. The empty lungs
must then fill themselves, and this in.
terval is marked by quick gasp for
breath, after which the banks are re-
newed The barks occur in series
with gasps for breath at intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part OF
the trunk bends and Strengthens itself
alternately or swaps to right and left.
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed upon the loins t.
moderate the painful spasm.

ing about 1920. AS l assembled the

portal opened, one of the matrons
embraced that girl, clasping her in an
affectionate motherly hug.

he replied, 'that'll kill 'em all" He

claimed, laconically. The municipal

of those who had sought like resting

came a charge of the city.

inflammatory rheumatism in bad form.
The first cry of the city authorities
against these lodging-houses is the
great expense, yet they think nothing
of adding hundreds of thousands Of
dollars to the cost of constructing
other municipal buildings for no other
purpose than making them ornamen-
tai.
Is it not strange how we human
beings would prefer to pay taxes for
the support of criminals in the peni-
tentiaries rather than take a cheaper
means to prevent the making Of
criminals?
Every man who walks the streets
unemployed is looked upon as a
vagrant or suspicious character Of
some sort. | tell you that 80 per cent
of those unemployed men are honest

NEW LINK BETWEEN SCIENCE
AND BUSINESS.

Out at the University of Kansas they
have taken a step which seems to be
the last link needed to bind together
science and business. In the big
chemical laboratory of the university
eight or nine post graduate students
are already at work, each of them try
ing to solve some problem which
means a fortune to the business man
or corporation directly interested. The
young man shown in the photograph,
for instance, is spending three years
in the study of the chemistry Of bread.
During this time he is supported by a
fund appropriated by the National AS
sociation Of Master Bakers Another
student is working to find a better
enamel for lining the inside of steel
bath-tubs. His scholarship Of 81, 1000
year is paid by large corporation.

SNAKES BETTER RAILROADS.
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
Railroad Magnate as Builder-Up
Of the Country.

Mr.. Edward HI. Hartman Is on
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
In the safe at night But Mr.. Harri-
man is going off ON pleasure trip.
and SO many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage of
the lapse from the cold attitude of Sc
verify that is usually used in men
tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, E. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Daily News. The head of a
railroad company, under the rules of
the game, must work for his stock.
holders, whether it is for the advan.
tage OF politicians, shippers or con.
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman is not only a
financier, but he is a builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has Hartman
road. He insists on a good roadbed,
level track, safe track and the con.
venience and comfort of the traveller
and the shipper. The Hartman roads
are noted as the best in the coun-
try. When Hartman gets hold of
one-horse or played-out track and
right OF way he proceeds to put it in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough Of the funds go
into real Improvements to make
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of a good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such bad thing
as some people have been led to think.
He makes better railroads. and there
is more need for Improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed. So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road fair
deal
He is a public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He Is great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
of the money power, seeking whom
it may devour. He is strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan-
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach He is a good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles race horses, old editions or
other bad habits. If he is not per-
fect-and we don't think he is-he is
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.

II am almost convinced that there

Thinktum, adjusting his glasses.
Then you don't believe that Mars
is inhabited?"
ION the contrary, think it ex.
tremely probable that life similar to
our own exists on the sister planet"
But you don't give those people
credit for intelligence equal to ours?"
Eyes. am inclined to credit them
with even greater intelligence than
we display. There are many indica.

should have too much sense to fool
away their time on any such imprac-

A CAR THAT CARRIES ITS OWN
TRACK.

The curious automobile shown in
the photograph, which carries with it
it's own track, is designed for use in
the rougher parts of the United States
where roads are either altogether miss
ing or are practically impossible dur
ing large part Of each year. The
track consists of a number of heavy
feet, linked together to form an endless
chain. This chain is revolved by the
sprocket wheel shown near the rear
Of the photograph. With this machine
great weights can be carried over the
toughest ground. 1t will even go up
