M HEN you are tickled on the
W feet or anywhere else you
might be sensitive, a certain set of
muscles and nerves are set into
action. This action sends to the
brain a spontaneous reaction caus-
ing laugh. This same set of mus
cles and nerves are set into motion
by funny sight or sound causing
the same reaction-a laugh. Just
as when one person presses certain
strings on the violin and draws a
bow across them a certain sound
is produced, SO will the very same
sound come forth when another per-
son sets into action the same strings
and pressure and bow.
