intensity of passion, with the essential difference that the animal 

 objectively scopes with objects which are exclusively necessary 

 for its individual welfare. But man's objectivity in obtaining 

 objects is more intensified in coincidence with the number of 

 objects which he thinks and feels, from his social standpoint, 

 necessary for his welfare, that is, his pursuance of happiness. 



Hence, it is the number and character of objects which dis- 

 tinguishes within the organic being the intensity of passion, desire 

 and pleasant feeling. The prevailing passion, to obtain the desired 

 object, in order to maintain an ideal existence, represents logically 

 the tendency of the pursuance of happiness. This tendency ex- 

 hibits actually a similar expression, demonstrating the feeling of 

 joy. 



Now, contrary to this are emotional conditions caused by 

 influences tending to menace the normal, respectively, the pleasant 

 and ideal condition of the individual. The suppressed emotional 

 passion, the tendency of pleasant feeling, is equally a suppression 

 of individuality, respectively, an attempt to annihilate the personal 

 existence. This creates the extreme opposite emotional effects, 

 termed despair, sadness and depression. 



Now, these two extreme opposite emotional effects, joy and 

 sadness, excite extremely the pathetical condition of the individual, 

 and it will induce it to manifest expressions which demonstrate 

 the prevailing dominating effects through certain forms of ges- 

 tures, poses and sounds, respectively, cries and calls.

EMOTIONAL EFFECTS CONTINUED THEIR RELATION TO DEMONSTRA- 

 TIVE EXPRESSIONS. 



Joy and sadness, the expressions of pleasure and pain, are the 

 two opposite emotional effects which move the organic being to 

 manifest such adapted forms of expression which, determined, 

 demonstrate the significance of the prevailing effect. 



The most available and convincing forms to demonstrate 

 expressively the prevailing effect are the adaptation of certain 

 forms of poses and gestures. Although they seem to be spon- 

 taneously adopted, yet it is apparent that these manifestations
