That "BIue" Feeling.

The use Of the word blue" to de-
note melancholy or terror, as in the
phrases to feel blue" blue devils"
blue funk" and on SO, is not en-
tirely tigurative, if we are to credit a
recent medical writer. The class of
phenomena that includes fainting,
vertigo. nausea, etc, is controlled by
certain brain centers that also bring
about a sort of cramp Of the external
mi 5cles of the eye. The resulting
compression of the organ causes OBJ
jects to look gray or bluish and ulti-
mately produces apparent darkness.
The use of the word, having a physio-
logical basis, is common to many Ian
guages. The French say, for instance:
II see blue" A writer says that he
French word eblouissement (gildi-
nees) should be spelled advertisement,
