From time to time others have come up offer

down. A couple of spirits named Joe and
Charlie were hanging around us, not long ago

natured souls, but somehow they just didn't
click. They drfted in the Office one morning
and hung around the copy man. We all liked
them well enough the first few days, but they
began to get annoying The copy man got so

The only subject upon which James is reti-

James only replies, in hesitant yet somehow

Natural Causes" Seldom
the Real Cause of Death

One of the rarest things in life is
death from natural causes" listed
as "senility" on death certificates,
observes a writer in the Detroit
Free Press.
AS has been pointed out by medi-
cal men, persons don't often wear
out, they generally are killed, either
by disease or accident. Although
'senility'' frequently is found on
death certificates, more often than
not because of the advanced age
of the deceased, together with lack
of apparent disease causes or a
post norton, the term is used with
out being the real cause Of death.
Researchers say that a natural
death is one to be sought after be-
cauSe after a certain stage In life
is reached the instinct Of self-pres-
ervation gradually is replaced by
an instinct to die, and death Is &C
cepted calmly and happily.
True senility is found In persons
ranging from the age Of seventy up
wards, depending on heredity, en-
vironment and other factors. Judg-
ing by medical records and vital
statistics, the process Of wearing
OUT is a long, arduous one, most
Of those dying from senility having
worked hard during long life.

Hair Growth After Death

Whether the hair grows after
death is a debatable matter and au-
thorities may be quoted on both
sides. The weight Of authority in
clines to the belief that growth Of
hair stops with death, says the De-
troit News. The frightening Of the
hairs Of the beard often observed /
a dead person is explained by the
shrinkage of the soft tissues around
each individual hair, the result Of
the drying up Of the skin and mus
cles. Even those who do believe
that hair can grow after death ad-
NIT rarity Of such cases and also
that such growth could be very
brief. The popular idea that some
times a complete beard or long hair
growth on the head may be pro-
duced on a body. is given no ere
dence. c. Nessler's book, THE
Story Of Hair" mentions two cases
Of hair growth after death, one of
these In connection with a lawsuit
against the heirs of the duke Of
Portland In England.

Most Animals Talk;
Rabbits, Hares Scream

A rabbit is usually a very silent
creature, but the poor thing can
talk" when trapped or caught by
a stoat. It screams terribly, and
so does the hare, states writer In
London Answers Magazine.
Most land animals have voice Of
some sort. Even the South Ameri-
can sloth, which never seems more
than half alive, can make sounds.
OF all large, warm-blooded animals
II is said that there is only one that
has no vocal cords and is quite In
capable of anything but sign Lam
guage. This is the giraffe.
Elephants trumpet, camels
squeal, seals bark, stays at mating
time roar, and the noise made by q
hedgehog must be heard to be be-
heved.
Natives Of the Southern Soudan
say that a species Of python can
give a sort of whistling cry, but this
has never been established by nat
uralists.
Frogs can croak or bleat, but
among lizards there are only a very
few that have any power Of making
sound. One common in Malaga pro-
duces q loud ticking noise.
Fish, too, are dumb, though some
species can make audible sounds
when taken out Of the water. The
catfish croaks and one Of the CUR
nards makes a similar sound.
