Tnx LuxGs.—On examination the lungs will be
found full of innumerable little holes, like a sponge.
These holes are the cells into which the air enters when
we breathe. So great is their number that they have
been calculated to amount to 174,000,000, forming alto-
gether a surface thirty times greater than that of the
human body. Every ono of these cells is provided with
a net-work of blood-vessels, by means of which the
blood is brought into immediate contact with the air
over every portion of their surface. When this great
amount is taken into consideration, we shall feel at once
how necessary it is to supply pure air to the lungs with
every breath we draw.—health of Towns Gazette.
IMPORTANT TO PARENTS.--By the new Registra-
tion Act, " the parents of every child may obtain for it
the advantage of a legal registry of its birth without the
payment of any fee, provided it be registered by the
registrar of the district in which the child was born
within six weeks after the birth. A birth may be regis-
tered at any time within six months after the birth, but
after six weeks the expense of registering it will he
7s. 6d., and after six months it cannot be registered at
ail." &void parties have recently suffered great in-
convenience in consequence of not being aware that the
fine for registering wan limited. t
