LUNGS AND AIR.

Scientific men have computed, that if every
air-cell in the Lungs were open and spread out
on wall, over four hundred square feet of
surface would be covered, which is many times
larger than the skin would cover.
If the open hand be put in water, and then
be suddenly placed on any part of the body,
the shock of the coldness is such, that it pro
duces very disagreeable sensation all through
the system.
IF Immediately on coming out of a warm
apartment, bucket of water were dashed
over the slzin,-ehe present shock and the SUBJ
sequent i'll effects, might well prove fatal in
many cases, especially if additional bucket
fuls were thrown on at intervals of a quarter
of a minute.
The lungs are not as sensitive as the skin
but they very susceptible of impressions
from cold. A man in good health breathes
sixteen times in minute and sixteen times in
minute does the air taken in come in contact
with the inner surface of the lungs. IF, then,
we go into very cold raw air from a warm
room; engaging in conversation, every breath
of cold air dashes right through the open
mouth directly in upon the surface of the
heated lungs difference of sixty degrees, if
there be ice or snow about, and greater still if
the wind is blowing.
The rapidity with which a chill passes over
the body, on passing from warm to pierre
ing atmosphere, is positive proof of the great
effect produced. Hence, it is not wonderful
that persons in robust health "eatch their death
of cold' by such exposures, in the shape of
pleureses, lung-fever. Pneumonia, bad colds
and terrible chills
In almost all cases, these ill-results may be
averted or greatly modified, if the person will
take two precautions First close the mouth
before passing out, thus compelling the air to
pass, by the circuit of the nose, through the
head, and thus be measurably warmed before
it reaches the lungs. Second, walk rapidly, so
as to throw the blood to the surface, but soon
abate the gate, as we cannot get air enough
through the nose, only for a few minutes, or
hold a handkerchief over the nose and open
mouth, in the shape of loose ball, SO as to
allow the cold air to commingle in its folds
This may suggest reason for allowing the
beard to grow around the lower part of the
face, as in the first place, in impedes the in
/ gress ofseold air and the egrees of the warm
air. from thealungs, and thus commingled, the
| cold air is modified.
