Laughter seems to DO q specialized
form OF either tho scream Of q star

triumph common to many beasts Of
prey. In children tho cry Of terror
and tho shout Of laughter often shade
into each other. and tho young child
escaping from pursuit will scream with
laughter or fear. according 70 his
chances Of escape. Some unexpected
event that causes slight alarm short
OF actual terror In the commonest cause
of children's laughter. but IN adults
some sudden event that gives a sensa.
tion OF triumph over others has much
more influence. Really clever Jokes
seldom cause laughter. and II has been
pointed out that man chasing his
hat will produce laughter far more
hearty In character than the best ef'
forts OF the clevercst wit The sight
OF III fortune In another causes by
contrast q feeling OF triumph In our
selves. The ticklish parts Of the body
are for the most part the sites OF I'm
portant blood vessels. and the laughter
produced In children by tickling Is
even more closely allied to the cry Of
pain.
