PHYSICAL EFFECT OF EMOTION.

There are numerous other instruments for
detecting emotions. such as the pneumo-
graph. which records changes in the respi-
ration; the sphygmOgraph, which records
changes in the pulse or the heart beat. and
the plethsmograph, which tests the changes
in the volume Of the finger or the arm. Ac-
cording 70 a table made out by Buntz, deep,
slow breathing or a weak. retarded pulse
signify a strain: fast. shallow breathing or

When Is Coored Man Not a Negro in America?

Duke Michael Michaelovitch OF Russia. is

father. the celebrated Muscovite poet
Pushkin. from Hannibal the negro gen

father was Prince Nicholas OF Nassau.
younger brother OF the late sovereign
Grand Duke OF Luxembourg. and through
him she is related TO the Queen OF HoI-
land and TO half the reigning houses Of
Europe.
Marshal Bernadotte. the founder OF the
dynasty now ruling Sweden, sprang from
a part Of the country around Pau where
the Saracenic origin Of the population is
particularly pronounced. the Moorish an

this connection from recalling the fact
that Gustavus ", the last sovereign but

Without entering into the familiar con-

which people in the United States can

Portuguese are the most light hearted

the Portuguese has passed into the prov

There are many who ascribe this blithe-

In the same way the Spaniards are
indebted for many Of their qualities. as
they are for numerous words in their

of Northern Africa which formerly dom
mated the entire Iberian peninsula. The
Moorish ancestry is apparent in the old
