Second Wind"

The reader may not be aware that IN
ordinary respiration we only use a
portion of our lungs, the cells at the
extremity not being brought into play.
This is the reason why those who are
not sin training and who try to run
for any distance, soon begin TO gasp,
and unless they are courageous enough
to persevere in spite of the choking
sensation, are forced to stop. But if
they will peTsevere, the choking goes
off, and the result is what is technical
" known as "second wind" When
the second wind is fully established,
the runner does not become out of
breath, and goes on running rs long as
his legs will carry him. | know this
by experience, having been accustOm-
ed for some years to run three miles
every morning over very hllly road.
The fact is, that on starting, the farth-
est portions of the lungs are chOked
with effete air and the remainder do
not supply air enough to meet the in
creased circulation caused by exercise.
BY degrees, however, the neglected
cells come into play, and when the en-
tire lung is in working order the circu-
lation and respiration again balance
each other, and the "second wind" is
the result. Now let the reader repeat
his experiment of holding his breath
against time, but first let him force
out of his lungs every particle of air
that he can expel, and then draw as
deep a breath as his lungs will hold.
If this be repeated some 20 or 80 times,
by way of imitation of the whale, the
experimenter will find that he can
hold his breath for minute and half
without Inconvenience. Should he be
Il swimmer, he should always take this
precaution before "taking a header"
and he will find that he can swim for
considerable distance before he needs
to rise for acknowledgements Maya
