W. Narcy, the distinguished French
professor, has been making exact OBJ
servatOns with the pneumograph, an
instrument which registers with pre-
cisiOn The respiratory movements.
Choosing five young men belonging TO
the school Tor military gymnastics at
FaisaDderie, observations were made
during five months, both after pre-
ceribed exercise and during repose. 1t
was found that the number of resPira-
tions was reduced from twenty to
twelve In the minute, while their am
plitude was more than quadrupled.
More than this, after five months OF
gymnastic exercise the respiration be-
came independent of the periods of ex-
ercice and rest. Consequently, the
normal circulation was made more ac-
tive, about twice as much blood passed
through the lungs with each respra-
tion. and the general health was i'm
proved. The machine burnt more car
bon and give out less smoke, These re-
suits are OF highly practical charac-

Diving for Fish.

Every time that steamer anchors at
Alden numbers of little boys swim
round the vessel, and dive for the coin
pitched to them In the water by the
passengers. Their skill Is undoubtedly
great, but the fishermen of the Nico-
bars, and a few among the Sea Dyaks
of Borneo, are reputed the most skill
full swimmers In the world. The men
of the Nicobars capture fish by the hand
They glide about IN their ligEt skiffs,
intently watching the translucent
water; when they obtain favorable
opportunity, they take a sudden dive
straight down upon their finny prey.
The fish are generally so startled that
they dart hither and thither. now up
and now down, without continuing
their swift movements in any one given
direction. The diver has therefore lit
tie difficulty in coming within arms
length of them. IL is however, esteem
ed to be but poor feat to seize and
bring up one fish. A man should be
able to catch simultaneously two fish
--one in each hand. This is frequently
done, and the best swimmers think
nothing OF 1T. If q man wishes to show
his proves in the water, he chases and
kills a shark, often twice as long as
himself. TO many Of the fishermen OF
the coast OF Neither India, shark-huht-
ing in water is somewhat like what
fox-hunting is in England.

The indian Roys at Hampton School.

When they first began to make beds,
the sheets were either tucked up under
the pillows Or laid on the outside. One
boy was found to have seven sheets,
who did not know the proper use OF
two. The janitOr helped ne carry a
bedstead into the sitting-room. The
boys were called in and seated in a
semi-circle, and began the process of
bed-making, the boys grunting and
laughing as it proceeded. When the
clothes were neatly tucked in and the
pillows shaken and put into place, l
said: "NOw, boys, will show you
how to get into bed," which / did.
Then, through the interpreter, asked
who was willing to try it, He had
hardly put the question when a boy
who had objected to having his hair
cut, when he first came, stepped for
ward. He began where did and fol-
lowed every moment, so closely had he
observed. No sooner did he finish than
there was stunning applause. He was
then asked to show us how to go to bed -,
and when his head touched the pillow
and he drew the clothing up round
him, up went another shout.

MANUREs FOR DIFFERENT LANDS -
The COARSE manures should generally
be applied to the heavy clays, especial
ly Ii vegetable matter is lacking Their
fermentation in the soil diSintPgrateS
it, and promotes fertility. Usually
clay soil has abundance of plant food,
bur not in available shape for crops.
Hence something to bring out what Is
in the soil is needed. Concentrated
and mineral manure are best adapted
TO cold and mucky land. Here there
Is plenty of vegetable mould, but
il Is not active. Great manures are
best adapted to sandy or gravely soils.
Here vegetable matter is always def
cient. Some sands and grayels are
lacking IN other respects also, and in
such cases the land is worth little for
farm uses. On the land u sand, or
better still gravel that has plen Y OF
lime, potash and phosphatcs, is the
very best land TO work because it IS
always dry, warm and Quick and if il
has somewhat heavier subSOil, it has
the ability 10 endure ali unfaVoraOie
season better than any other. The
best test of a sand or gravel soil as to
fertility is TO observe the. clover catch
and growth. If a farmer can get a
good clover catch Lvery year on sand
or gravel, he has the means in his own
han Of making ii "a rich as he wants
