why SNOW HEATS THE HANDS
The Brain Calls to the Blood to Help
the Chilled Skin.

the Chilled Skin.
II Is very wonderful that our hands
should become warm after playing
with snow, for II must be perfectly
certain that the cold snow takes neat
away very quickly from our warm
hands.
The warmth OF our hands Is derived
entirely from the blood, except at times
when something hot II actually shining
upon them. Therefore, for some rea.
50 or other. a very much larger amount
Of blood than usual must be flowing
through our hands. The blood is no
warmer In Itself. or the whole OF the
body would at once notice IL, but what
really happens Is that the hands are
getting richer and quicker supply OF It.
The effect is just the same, really. as
the delightful glow that we feel after
a cold bath. The brain has the duty
Of taking care OF the skin. as OF every
other part Of the body. Now. when
the skin has been chilled Its life has
been heavily taxed, and II win suffer
unless Il Is compensated. So the brain
orders the small blood vessels I'm the
skin. wherever It has been chilled. to
relax and widen so that the warm
blood Is able TO circulate quickly
through them.-"The Child's Book OF
