LAUGHTER AND TEARS.
Why sn outburst of Che One May

Why an Outburst of the One May
 Cause a Flow of the Other.
 What is laughter and why do tears SO often accompany itl
 On each side of the throat is an ar tery called the carotid. At the level of the laryn1 this divides, one branch, which carries blood to the brain, being called the internal. the other, which distributes blood to the face, being called the external These two branches are joined about the level of the eyes by the ophthalmic artery, which forms A canal between them. This commu- ulcation Is the cause of the close con nection between the brain and the tear glands, between laughter and grief, both of which are generators of tears. Physiologically. a burst of laughter Is nothing but a strenuous effort like lifting a heavy weight In both cases the muscles Of the throat and stomach contract
 When laughter Is excessive the whole body Is convulsed; every muscle Is contracted In the place of normal respiration come short intermittent respiratious. insufficient to free the lungs from the Semi-asphyNia pro duced by the contraction of the throat muscles. The face shows the conges- ton of the blood vessels of the head, Apoplexy may ID rare cases result These muscular contraCtions compress the external carotid. which can no longer supply the brain with blood Tn consequence thls rusheS up the in. ternal carotid. which becomes choked and dilated. It can stand the pressure only because the ophthalmic artery re ieves it. Taking this route the blood congests the tear glands. which over flow.
 Tears are exactly the same as the Hould part of the blood. So it is fair deduction that the action of cry. Ing is equivalent to a certain loss of blood. which relieves the congestion of the brain. This Is why women feel so much better after a good cry.
 The facial contortions of weeping persons are caused by the automatic contraction of such muscles as are needed to compress the tear glands and so help to squeeze out the tears.-- New York World

At the annual convention of the Investment Bankers Association Of America. in New York, Warren $. Hayden. of Cleveland, vigorously as sailed the Kansas blue sky law, which requires that before any bonds or stocks can be offered for sale to the public within the state the plan of the company issuing them must be approved by the state bank commissioner. This law, ae- eordiug to MT. Hayden, is too ..paternalistic" and has not pro duced good results.
 Ii is obvious that such a law, even when wisely framed, may be- com unfair and even oppressive throuch administration. The states ability to regulate anything depends largely on it's ability to nut into office men fit to do the regulating.

Two seats in the New York stock exchange were sold last week for fifty thousand dollars apiece. That Ia tbs lowest amount that has been maid for a seat at this gambling table in many years, usually the price runs up to seyenty-five and even a hundred thousand dollars, But since Governor Sulzer has ask cd his legislature to investigate the workings cs .he institution, and since congress has manifested a disposition to pass laws regulating the calamitous lottery, and since Thomas Lawson has been showing up the inside workings of this giant blood sucker on prosperity, there has been something ot a scare thrown into the souls of the more umid, and they are gradually let ting loose before the crash comes for it is surely coming.
