Tho Famous italian Medium Who Is
Doing "Stunts" In This Country.
The American people. and especially
the amateur psychologists. are very
much excited over the performances
of Eusapia Palladlno. the famous ital-
ian spirit medium who recently arrived
in New York city. She Is II middle
aged and unprepossessing woman Of
the peasant type.
Her hair is gray and decidedly white
OH the left side. Under that part OF
her hair rests the famous scar which
is said to give out cold breeze when
she awakens from her frances. Her
skin is lightly pitted as with an Old
attack of smallpox. Her large yellow
ish brown eyes are tilmy and dead;
they never seem to hold an expression.
This is a description OF the medium
given by a person who attended one
of her seances.
Palladino Is woman of no educa-
tion and no polish of manner. Her
family. she says. was of humble origin

member her cooking supper for her
husband on the sidewalk of one of the
principal streets of Naples and public

Why We Laugh.

Laughter seems to be a specialized
form of either the scream Of a star
tied or injured animal or the cry of
triumph common to many beasts of
prey. In children the cry Of terror
and the shout Of laughter often shadel
into each other and the young child
escaping from pursuit will scream with
laughter or fear. according to his
chances Of escape. Some Unexpected
event that causes slight alarm short
of actual terror Is 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 1t has been|
pointed out that a man chasing hisl
hat will produce laughter far more
hearty in character than the best eff
forts of the cleverest wit. The sight
of i'll fortune In another causes by|
contrast a 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 Isl
even more closely allied to the cry Of
pain.
