Laughter a Series of Banks.

Laughing is barking, say the sci.
eptists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series of short
barks are emitted from the throat.
However musical the barks 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
1t 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 a
quarter of a second. There are thus
In a 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 a quick gasp for
breath, after which the banks are re.
newed. The banks occur in series
with gasps for breath Ct intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part Of
the trunk bends and straightens itself
alternately or sways to right and left.
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.

they filed past the coffin and took a
last look at their departed comrade.
At the door each man paused to shake
hands with the sorrowing widow and
to murmur a few words of coincidence.
When it came to Mr.. Hogan's turn, he
retained possession of her hand, while
he delivered a lengthy Grafton con-
corning the good qualities Of the de-
funct Mr.. Casey.
