THE MAN WHO LAUGHS.

Laughter is an involuntary response
OF certain muscles 10 Il communication

We laugh because we receive IN i'm
preston through our sensory nerves
that causes Il demonstration from the
muscles which express mirth. The
vigor or heartiness of laughter depends
upon the susceptibility OF the brain to
what is received through the Sensory
nerves
They get the impression In three
ways-from something we see. feel or
hear--and send II along to the nerve
center. From there il is sent along
other nerves connected with certain
muscles or glands and eXcites them 10
activity.
The nerves are like so many electric
wires. and the sensory nerves act as
a battery. by means Of which the cleo
tric currents Of life are transmitted
The muscles have the power 10 ex
press the state of gladness. indicated
by laughter, according TO the positive
ness Of the impressions passed along
the nerves which operate them. You
laugh less heartily the second time
