FACTORS PRODUCING BALD
MESS.


The causes of badness are quite as
different as the forms Of badness. but
In this article shall treat Of that form
SO prevalent among the American and
English male adults and which without
doubt constitutes at least 60 per cent
OF the cases met with.
There are several conditions which are
commonly supposed to produce badness.
but which are not really direct causes.
These are long hair, tight. stiR hats.
short hair. hot baths. alcohol rubs. etc.
1t is needless to say that these play
little or no part In producing badness.
There are causes. however. which do in
fiuence the loss Of hair. and principally
among these are sedentary city life and
the hygiene Of the skin and the scalp as
ISOLATED with this life
For instance, 1t is well known that
badness Is over FIVE times more common
IN city men than among their country
brethren. and this il accounted for in
several ways. First and most important
are the opportunities for infection. Our
modern barber, while a great comfort to
the present day business and professional
man, Is no doubt the most fruitful
source OF infection, while our wives and
sisters have no trouble In obtaining the
same condition from the many beauty
parlors.
Besides opportunities for infection may
be mentioned lack Of outdoor life and
physical exercise. the greater amount of
intellectual work, the nervous strain Of
modern city life, moro alcohol and the
less wholesome diet.
Sohourand, the great Paris dermatol-
og1st. was the first to discover. demon
strate and grow a specific germ from the
scalp. which he named the micro bacil-
lus, and with this germ he was able, by
injecting it into guinea pigs. to produce
bald spots. Not only did he prove this,
but he demonstrated that. under certain
conditions. the infection. when not lin
tied to the scalp. but spreading beyond
it, could produce quite violent in
fammation and form OF eczema known
among dermatologists as seborrhoraic
eczema or dermatitis. This is recog-
nized among the leading dermatologists
Of Europe and America as the direct
cause OF at least go per cent of badness
In both males and females.
There are two forms of sebowhoean
dermatitis. the dry and the oily forms.
but the results of both, II continued, are

the same-namely, badness.
The symptoms OF the dry form are;
Itching when overheated, frequent per-
SEPARATION; maybe hair matted Together
h0re and there with scales or evon cruOts
and, particularly, nne branny scales from
pin point to pin head IN sire which are
more or less adherent to the scalp. but
which loosen and fall out during q brisk
brushing. This IL commonly called dam

gradually causes the thinning and finally

men and women begin to take moro In

JAPANESE SWORD MAKER.
Religious Ceremonies Accompany
Every Process Watering"
from the Inrdon fs1oy,o

the 1OuuOu c1IODc.
The sword making of Japan Is perhaps
the most curious in the whole world In
that country swords said to be equal to
those Of Toledo or Damascus are made
by special series Of processes. but fea-
ture Of the industry is the religious cere-
monial that accompanies every process.
On the walls OF the huts in which the
work Is done are representations Of the
god Of the sword makers and the chief
goddess of the Shintos. There are also
bits Of paper and wisps Of straw, charms
to keep away evil spirits. No female is
allowed TO enter the place, as the pres
ence Of women is supposed to be con-
ducive to the appearance Of demons. who
would certainly bring disaster to the
swords mission. Prayer is offered be-
fore the work begins, and various relig-
ious rites must be performed before any
one OF the swords can be declared to have
been well and truly made
The last thing that takes place after
the polishing and sharpening OF the
swords Is the offering Of them one by one
to the sword god to be blessed. The
weapon Is placed in front Of the kake-
mona on the wall. with an offering of
saki. rice and sweetmeats. after which
prayer scrolls are ready and q blessing
upon the work Is invoked.
wherever the making Of metal swords
may have originated the chief fame Of the
industry belongs Of course to Damascus,
where these weapons have been made
from time immemorial. But almost equal
" famous are the swords Of Khorassan.
which Is still the center Of the best east
ern work of the kind. The best eastern
blades are, however, at least eQualed to-
day by those Of European manufacture,
which fact Is evident when we remember
that European swords are often met with
In Asiatic hands. though in most cases
they have been remounted in eastern
style to suit the fancy Of their owners.
The particular treatment OF the steel
used for the making OF Asiatic swords
has had not little to do with the repu-
tAtion OF the latter. for the damascening
or watering OF choice Persian and In
dian arms gives most attractive APP
eparance to the work. Much the same
thing was In evidence In the manufacture
OF Damascus" gun barrels until It was
discovered that fluid steel was prefera-
Die Tor the latter, at least from the man.
ufacturer's point of view.
In the case Of sword steel the water
cd effect is produced by a process Of
capitalization. SO that when the metal
Is forged out more or less regular pat
tern Is seen running through it, and the
effect is pleasing to the eye, though It ia
said that the quality of the metal is
neither better nor worse for being treat
cd IN this fancy manner.
