The Science of Laughter

FROM the Newark News
A British scientist who has been making
study of laughter has prepared list
of things that happen when person gives
way to audible laughter. On each side of
the throat, he explains, there is an artery
called the carotid. At the level of the
larynX this divides. One branch, which
carries blood to the brain, Is called the
'internal;" the other, which performs
the duty of distributing blood to the face,
is called the external" These two
branches are Joined by the opthalmic
artery at about the level of the eyes,
forming between the eyes a sort of canal
All this in turn brings the tears Of
laughter and makes literal the exclama-
ton, He laughed until he cried" 1t Is
this communication that is the cause of
the close connection between the brain
and the tear glands and really acts the
but very little difference in the ply
steal results between joy and sorrow
In reality laughter is not an easy thing.
1t results in a great. although involun-
tary effort-an effort as great as though
one were lifting a great weight-and in
both cases the muscles of both the throat
and stomach contract.
Now. when laughter is very hearty,
when 1t is actually excessive, the whole
body is ccnvulsed. and this means that
every muscle is contracted. Here is where
people double up with laughter. Wheth-
er ii is laughter or crying. the same thing
happens, If it is an excessive emotion
that is, the blood congests the tear
glands an dthese glands overflow, fore
ing out the tears.

Komoro Islands. OF hundreds that have
started on this journey perhaps two or
three pairs arrived in Madagascar, after
many generations had been born and had
died on the intervening islands. Among
the reptiles of Madagascar there are two
American genera of snakes and one be-
longing to genus found in America and
China; there lizards belonging to two
genera of the Iguanidae. a family which
with this exception is exclusively Amer
ican; there is genus of the gecko family
which is found in Australia and America.
The first question to be solved is, why
none of the large and conspicuous Afri-
can animals are found in Madagascar.
irhe answer is simple. AT the very re-
mote period (probably in the Eocene the
first division of the tertiary period of
geology when Madagascar was Joined
to the African continent, none of these
distinctive animals had yet arrived in
Africa, or at least in that part of Africa
which lies south of what is now the Sa-
hara desert. Africa north of the Sahara
was Joined by land to the south of Eu-
rope, and the Sahara was a sea; and it
was in this land, stretching far north
from the Sahara, that the elephants, lions,
rhinoceroses and the other distinctive
animals we have named were developed,
running from France to the Himilayas.

Blind Boys at School
I'm Harper's Weekly.


To make the blind boys as normal as
possible is the aim of-the blind school,
Blind boys are required to do the same
work, to pass the same examinations, to
submit to the same discipline, and to Ill
dulge in the same recreations as their
more fortunate fellows. The result has
been that the blind boy has in many in
stances competed successfully in after
life with the sighted.
School routine for the blind at a typi-
cal Institution differs but little from
that of ordinary school life. On rising
the youngsters dress themselves with as
much speed as those with vision. Tho
days work begins with half hour in
the gymnasium. where the boys do well
on such apparatus as the parallel and
horizontal bars, the rings and the rope.
The vaulting horse or any form of ex-
ercise for which a running start is re-
powers.
In the class room the work performed
by the blind boy reaches a high stand
ard. Books, whether classics. mathe-
MATES, or music are In Braille type and
necessarily cumbersome. Pickwick, for
example, Is in Ia volumes and cost 81.
All writing is done upon little wooden
| lidncS llleu WITH "a DTdSS either
with style or a small seven keyed ma
chine. Blind boys write as fast as the
average sighted boy. and their writing
is always legible. Typewriters are cas-
lily used. The working of mathematics
is done with mechanism on a zinc
board which can be made to represent
16 signs, and the use of spurred com
passes and rulers for geometrical draw
ing is of course slower than the ordi-
nary process on paper. In the natural
sciences the blind boy finds himself
much handicapped. Hence classics, tho
ology, law. music, modern languages,
and history chiefly attract him.
AS to amusements, there is wide
choice. 1t is possible to play ball games
by means of balls containing bells. Such
games however, are not well adapted
to the blind boy. At football. for iu-
stance he cannot trust himself to run
at full speed unless he hear his bounda-
ries," and grass does not give suffic-
iently distinct echo for him to locate his
position. Indoors he has many re-
sources There are chess, checkers.
and the ordinary card games, not to
mention social and literary functions.

White Plague Checked

the hearts of the forces engaged in world
wide battle with tuberculosis. Not only
has the onward march of the white plague
been checked in this section of the en-
pire, but its ravages have even been les
sened. The death rate in 1911 was 1912
per 10,000 in 1912 it was 1449 Where 6l,2i9
persons died in 1911, $500 died in 1872
ana rnis Notwithstanding the normal in
crease in population.
Even more encouraging Is the report
from Hamburg to the Central Anti-Tu-
berculosis committee of Germany. The
death rate there dropped from 1919 per
10000 In 1896 to S64 in 1872 Significant
was the report that deaths in hospitals
and institutions rose from 40 per cent of
the whole in 1896 to nearly sc per cent in
1912. Germany is beginning to rid itself
of it's ancient horror of hospitals.
During the year ending January 1 last,
the report of the central committee re-
cites, there were 147 sanitariums and hos
pitals throughout the empire for the
treatment of adults suffering from pull
monary tuberculosis, and 27 such institu@
tions where children were treated. With.
in their walls were 16,77S beds for tuber-
culosis sufferers. In addition there were
many other institutions where other
forms of the disease were treated.
Another Way of Making a Living
Here was created the other day another

got on and swung to a strap in front of
him. The young man got UP and gave
her his seat. Also, he had an idea

Selecting stout women, package-laden
women and girls scholars with arms full
of books and other persons who would
rather sit than stand, he made them his
customers. To these, as the car filled
he surrendered his seat, plainly stating
that he expected a tip in return He gem
orally got 1t. and has been able, he says,
to make a fair living.

SUNKEN CONTINENT

From Harper's Weekly:

From Harper's Weekly:
Many distinguished scientists have be-
lieved that there was once a continent
in the Indian Ocean which was sunk be-
meath the waves and of which Madagas-
car, the Maldve and Laccadive islands,

suggested for this lost continent. One

istence Is found In the extraordinary

plants of India, Ceylon and the MALAY

The great island of Madagascar is
equal in area to Oregon and California

north and south extension, possessing.
like them, bands of mountain, forest and
plain.
Madagascar is only $50 miles from the
east coast of Africa, yet it contains not

Africa south of the Sahara, and likewise

Africa south of the Sahara, and likewise
India south of the Ganges valley, were
cut off by sea from this northern land
in the middle and upper Eocene epochs
and were Joined to each other and to the
Malayian region by land extensions of
which Madagascar was a part. At that
time, then, the lemurs fourished through
out this continental area, which thus
merited the name of Lemuria. Then
much of it sunk beneath thea indian
ocean, including that part from two to
three hundred miles wide which Joined
Africa to Madagascar. In this way the
peculiar animals of Madagascar were
isolated Then at some time during the
Miocene epoch the Sahara sea and the
