Mechanism Of Blushing That Can Be Controlled.

! especially to the minute capillaries IN
the skin. and the vessels are extended,
filling with blood.
This is the actual physical explana-
tion of the act of blushiEg, and under
ordinary circumstances this process IS
always followed But we know tnat
many persons do not blush, even
though angry or shocked. How -
this to be explained?
Once you have received the ioea -
the cerebrum, and this has sent out
the impulse to the vaso-motor centre
the blush follows almost automatically.
But the self-contained or resolute per.
son receives the shock in the brain
and arrests the impulse at that point
not allowing it to reach the vaso-moter
centre, SO no blush follows. It seems
to be possible to. acquire great self.
control, to control our emotion ana
not allow the impulse to reach the
vaso-motor centre.
The loss of the power OF blushlng Is
explicable in another way. If at first
the modesty OF man or woman is
shocked by hearing vulgar tale, he
or she blushes, but after becoming
hardened" as we say. there Is no
shock to the brain centre, and OF
course NO impulse goes out to the
nerves controlling the blood vessels.
When the face grows pale from
fright, or turns from red to pale, 1t IS
because the inhinitory nerves of the
vaso-motor system have contracted
the arterioles, thus diminishing the
amount of blood allowed to flow into
the capillaries.
1t has been noted that monkeys
flush with anger much as the human
being does. so blushing IS not an ex-
clusively human characteristics live

tained only by gaining complete nerve
control, and this is to be attained only
after years of practice.

into the belief that we may at any mo-

dering star"
According to the Newtonian laws the
planets ought all to be drawing nearer
TO the sun, whereas no such movement
can be detected.
Biologists have upset the old theory
that the earth was once an incandes-
cent mass, the surface of which has
cooled, leaving the interior still in a
molten state. They tell US that, IL any
thing, the earth was formerly cooler
than it isao-day.
Prof. Jaumann suggests that the en-
ergy of heat follows the fux of gravi.
tation, so that the denser substances
ought to have concentration of en-
ergy superior to that Of the more ten
uous. Hence all dense bodies ought to
produce heat constantly and without
ceasing. This, If true, would explain
how the sun continues to send forth
incessant streams of energy and heat
without getting perceptibly cooler.
While this revision of the laws of
gravitation is important it does not
seem to bring us a step nearer to an
understanding of what gravitation is.
The San Francisco call., 1913-08-24

TT is beginning to look as if we should
4 be obliged to revise our ideas about
gravitation, for the heavenly bodies
are behaving in way that proves We
have not yet a true conception of the
laws of that mysterious force.
Ever since Newton attempted to
codify the laws that govern the move
ments of the sun, planets and stars
men have been trying to find out what
gravitation is. They are no nearer to
knowing than they were when Newton
saw the apple fall. 1t is an unknown
force that manifests itself in certain
phenomena and of which the effects
can be foretold with approximate ac-
curacy.
Until very recently men of science
would have said with mathematical
accuracy" They thought they knew
the rules of the game the heavenly
bodies are playing, but now they have
discovered that they don't-unless the
moon and the stars be cheating or de-
liberately breaking the rules.
The moon, for example, is accelera
ting its speed six seconds century
which is totally contrary to the ac
cepted laws. And Mercury's eccen
tricity does not increase according to

ton to receive and make the best OF
the foods given to them. The same
is true of condiments and flavorings.
Prof. Gautier has no good word to say

mineral waters, which, he says, la

body, directing it to wheresoever 1t is
most needed. After meal the coats
o. the stomach are distended with
blood when we are working with our
brain this is flushed with blood. When
we blush, the cheeks are suffused.
The nerves that control the amount
of blood sent to the capillaries form q
most elaborate and complex system.
There is a system of vaso-motor or
vaso-constrictor nerves and system
of vase inhibitory OF vase dilator
nerves. For each of these two there
exists a minute centre or collection OF
governing nerve-cells in the lowest
and oldest part OF the brain. called the
bulb. These centres lie close beside
each other in this small part of the
brain, so placed as to respond instant
ly to every imaginable influence borne
to them by nerves from, for example,
an ingrowing toe-nail or from those
brain-areas concerned in thought of
shame or fear Thereupon the toe or

cord.ng to the order given. The vase.

drawal.
When we are in a state of repose
the nerves exert no special action and
the capillary blood vessels are neither
expanded nor contracted, but simply
allow the blood to flow through them
to all parts of the body. But If, under
some strong emotion, the brain be
brought to bear upon some organ, the
vaso-motor centre orders changes in
the blood supply instantly. If the
brain has received an impression
through the eye or ear which gives
rise in the intellectual centres-situ-
ated in the cerebrum or upper brain
to a feeling of anger or shame, then
the vaso-motor centre is stirred almost
unconsciousiy and it acts upon the
nerves running to the blood vessels,

. LUSHING may be, as Darwin called
it, ''the most human and peculiar
of all expressions" but it really be-
gins far down in the scale of animal
life, and only its Interpretation has
given it better character among men
and women. To US it is an indication
OF nodesty, pleasure. shame or anger,
but originally it was nothing more or
less than an indication of anger.
The impulse comes from the brain,
the individual resenting something
done or said You hear something
which you consider an insult and you
flush up at once. Your ear has carried
the meaning to the brain. and your
brain stirs up the centre governing
the minute blood vessels until they

reddens with anger. If you see some
thing that makes you angry the eyes
send the message through the optic
nerves to the brain. which acts upon
the nerve centre controlling the blood,
just as in the previous instance.
The hlushing mechanism Is by no
means simple apparatus The actual
blush is due to a sudden suffusion OF
the capillaries of the cheeks with
blood.
The capiLaries have no muscle in
their walls, and their resistance is
very feeble, as they must receive just
what blood the arteries send them
through the arterioles. The muscular
coats Of the latter are under control
Of the brain and sympathetic system,
through the nerves. Thus the brain
determines just what amount of blood

way that is quite unaccountable.
We were taught at school that the
force of gravitation is always the same
everywhere and in all circumstances
Few scientific men would be rash
enough to say so to-day. The general
opinion is that it is not the same; but
the how. the why and the wherefore of
it. variations are as yet mystery.
Prof. Jaumann, in his inaugural ad-
dress as rector of the Polytechnic of
Hrunn, Germany. recently attempted a
revision of the laws and set forth what
really amounts to a new theory of
gravitation. According to him the
Newtonian law of gravitation would
still hold good for stars or other
masses in state of repose, but not in
movement. When they are in move
ment, as most of them are in one way
or another, he thinks that relatively
tiny increases of gravitative force &C
cumulate on the front of the moving
body, so that the fields of gravitation
will be stronger. SO to speak, at the
van Of the body than at the rear.
Thus, he thinks, not only are the
anomalies above glanced at accounted
Tor, but the orbits of the different
planets are made more stable. and are
enabled to resist even considerable
shocks and causes of perturbation.
