What Is Laughter
From the Strand.

Laughter" says Prof. Sir Charles Bell,
us convulsive action of the diaphragm.
In this state the person draws a full
breath and throws 1t out in interrupted.
short and audible cachinnations. This
conyulsion Of the diaphragm Is the prin-
cipal part of the physical manifestation
of laughter; but there are several acces-
series, especially the sharp vocal utter
ance arising from the violent tension OF
the larynx and the expression OF the feat
ures, this being a more intense form OF
the smile. In extreme cases the eyes are
moistened by the effusion from the
iachrymal glands"
There YOU have scientific definition.
But It IS clear that mankind would hard
" take the trouble to go through that ex-
perience II that Is all that laughter con-
sisted OF. They would not regard Dick
ems or Mark Twain as a benefactor mere
ly because a perusal Of their writings
produced that. No; even the philosoph-
ers know that laughter Is something bet
ter than that-something internal--that
there is such thing as silent laughter.
Hobbies calls laughter "a sudden glory
arising from sudden conception OF some
eminency In ourselves by comparison with
the infirlnty of others, or with our own
formerly"
II a laugh is q banefaction and the pro-
yoker of a laugh benefactor. why are
there more statues to duh people than to
witty ones? Who was the greatest laugh
promoter in history? 1t was said Of Sgd

O00 600 laughs. Laughter said Lord

stances OF it, even amongst Scottish con-
gregations. In England the chief clerical

Rev. II. II. Haweis, who once announced
