Laughter a Series Of Banks.

Laughing Is barking, say the SCI
entists. 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 barks 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 straightens itself
alternately OF sways to right and left.
n feet stamp on the floor, while the
are pressed upon the loins to
moderate the painful spasm.

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

Mr.. Edward H. 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 monarchs1 to
put their crowns and other valuables
in the safe at night. But MI. Harri-
man is going off on a 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 mem
tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, o.. III. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says a 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 adyan-
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 a 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 u
try. When Hartman gets hold of a
one-horse or %plaIed-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 a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead Of a good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such a 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," dlouS his ROAD d lar
| deal.
He is a public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is a great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personiication
of the money power, seeking whom
it may devour. He is a strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the 1nan-
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.

PROMPT ACTION
On the Part on Deputy Marsha' e =
Harwood Averts Serious Blaze.

Prompt action on the part OF deputy

averted what would very likely nave
been a serious blaze in the store at loS
Water street owned by the Lendali
Titcomb estate and occupied by ADfa-
ham A. Click, who runs paWnbroker

shoe store.
The store generally closes about IL
O'Clock and it is not understood that
Friday night was any exception to th9
rule. Deputy Marshal HARDWOOD pass
ed the store at 10 minutes past IL ana
saw what appeared to him to be some
one lighting a cigar within. Suppos-
ing there might be burglars IN the
store he effected an entrance and u
his surprise found brisk blaze IN
progress behind the counter on the
south side of the store and near the
emery wheel, which is used in connec-
ton with Mr. Clicks shoe repairing
business
The deputy marshal fastened across
the street and pulled in the alarm from
Bon "a The fire was quickly eXtln-
guished upon the arrival or the de-
partment by the use of the chemical.
The place in which the fire caught
seemed to have been used as re-
ceptacle for cigarette boxes, pieces OF
leather and old rags, and a cigarette
or cigar butt carelessly thrown down
just before the place closed may have
done the work
Mr.. Click, who lived some distance
away from his place of business did
not show up after the fire was eX-
tingushed and a boy was sent to his
house by the officers to tell him to

of the boarders, who was aroused by

the third fire that had occurred during
the last two years in places where he
had boarded.
The building is insured in the local
agency of Charles E. Downing and it
is also thought that Mr. Click carries
insurance on his stock. although that
could not be definitely ascertained last
night. A few floor boards, a shelf or
two and a little leather stock We're
about all that was in any way damaged
by fire. The sum of $25 would I'M
doubtedly cover all the damage to both
Mr.. Clicks stock and the building.

The pretty domestic drama Of LENA
Rivers, which follows quite closely
the popular novel of the same name
written by Mary J. Holmes, was the
offering Friday evening of the Avery
Strong Co, which is playing at the
Augusta Opera house. The story of
the play Is perhaps more familiar to
novel readers Of 20 and 80 years ago
than today, but it is sufficient to say
that it is a story of intense human
interest and shows how circumstances
can combine to make a woman seem
falthless when she is the soul of in
nocence and purity. The parts were
all well taken and the company show
ca up even better than in it's opening
production Thursday evening.
