Why Hair Stands ON End

When hair stands on end on tht
back of a dog or cat when frightened
1t is moved by tiny muscles attached
to the roots. The hair follicle is like
little seed buried in the flesh. At
tached to either side of this seed are
tiny muscles which run diagonally
through the flesh from the lower part
of the follicle. These little muscles
are like the guy ropes of tent. They
are what are called the erector mus.
Giles, and when fear or cold is expe-
rlenced these muscles promptly tighten
up In such manner as to ''hoist" the
hair very quickly.

Arctic Night.

Viewed solely as u matter of optics,
the Arctic night is as dark as any
night. Explorers in high ATTITUDES say,
however that there are many allevia-
lions of the obscurity. The stars flash
keenly. the moon comes along in
regular succession of phases, the snow
surface relieves the gloom under con-
ditlonsiof the utmost absence of light,
and the aurora borealis is the finest
kind of illuminant. Explorers all agree
that their men pass the winter night
without much difficulty if only there
are means of amusement.
