WHAT MAKES US LAUGH.
Certain Muscles or Glatt& Are Ex-
• : cited Into Activity:
Laughter is an involuntaryre-.
sponse of certain muscles to a com-
munication from nerves controlling
-their action. We laugh because we
receivesan impression through our
sensory nerves that causes a de-
monstration from •the mueeles
which ex,press mirth. The vigor or
heartiness •of laughter depends upon
the suseeptilbility of the brain to
What is receives!, through the sen-
sory nerve's. o
They get the impreesion in three
.ways -from eomellhing we see, feel
or hear -and send it along to. the
nerve centre. • From there it, is
sent along other nerves cOnneeted
with certain muscles or glands, and
excites them to activity,
The nerves are like so many elee
trie wires, and the sensory nerves
act as a ihattery, by means of whia
fihe electrio currents of life are
transmitted: The muscles haVe the
power to express the state of glad-
ness, indicated by laughter,accord-
ing to the positive -nese of the hn-
pressions passed along the nerves
which operate them, YoU laugh lees
