Fixed-Notes
POMONA, Feb. 13-It is more than
probable that one of the few changes to
be made in the water rates will affect
lots of subdivided acreage property, in
instances where water obtained at acre
age prices would be distributed on small
lots in such way as to require much
more than if the same were not subdi-
vided. The rates for lawns and regular
domestic purposes will undergo no
change, it is thought.

The railway whistle-who has not
heard its piercing shriek?-was invent
ed because of the destruction of load
of eggs. The first railways in England
crossed country roads at grade, and
the engineer had no way of giving warm
ing of his approach except by blowing
a tin horn. One day, in the year 1893,
n farmer was crossing the railway
track, on one of the country roads, with
a load of eggs and butter. just as he
reached the track a train approached.
The engineman blew his horn Justify,
but it was too late. Eighty dozen eggs
and so pounds of butter were smashed
into an indistinguishable mass. The
railway company had to pay for the
butter, eggs, horse and wagon, and
naturally tried to avoid such heavy
loss in the future. George Stephenson
was appealed to, and the next day had q
continuance which, when attached to
the engine boiler and the steam turned
en-. gave out loud, shrill sound. This
continuance has developed into the loco
motive whistle, as we know it now.-

The wave length of Roentgen rays,

certained by DIR. Fromm, of Munich, to
be fourteen milionths of millimeter,
or about IS times smaller than the
smallest wave length of light. The de-
termination was based upon interfer-.
ence-phenomena.
Condensation is the result Of chill
ing the air. The ascent of the lower
strata of the atmosphere into the high
er regions and the consequent expan-
sion and loss of heat is the most prob
able cause of rain, and it is not impos-
sible that the air near the ground, be-
ing made to rise by being artificially
heated, might tend to produce the de-
sired downpour of rain.
Sudden and great fluctuations in
the level of water in wells in stormy
weather, closely corresponding to. the
fluctuations in wind velocity recorded
by Prof. Langley, have been observed
by DIR. Romei Martini. This explains
the popular tradition that bad weather
may be predicted from the sudden rise
and fall of wells. Curiously, however,
small and rapid changes of barometer
are more certain to affect wells than
large changes.

CYCLING FOR ASTHMA.

Physicians Who Have Studied the Dis
ease Favor Riding ON the wheel.
The value of bicycle riding for that
portion of humanity suffering with
divers ailments that may be benefited
by exercise is no longer disputed very
largely. An English physician who has
made the study of bicycle riding as it
pertains to asthmatic persons the OBJ
ject of special research has come out
unqualifiedly in favor of the use of the
Wheel
Asthma, according to the generally
accepted idea, may be cured, or at least
relieved, by exercising the respiratory
organs. Asthma is known by great
many as shortness of breath. The
slightest exertion out of the ordinary
causes palpitation of the heart and q
choking, half-suffocated feeling. The
face and head become extremely warm
and flushed, and the sensation of ex-
treme discomfort has depressing eff
feet upon the system.
Nearly all first beginners on the BIZ
cycle find hill climbing decidedly an
noying. The heart throbs with each
effort of the limbs, and the blood surges
in heat waves over the body. Perspira-
ton is greatly accelerated and hill
climbing is voted nuisance. Constant
practice, however, if the heart be sound,
soon enables cyclists to climb ordinary
hills with comparative degree Of COM
fort
1t was the resemblance of the symp-
toms of asthma to the trials Of the hill!
climber that induced the physician who
investigated the subject to experiment
with cycle riding upon asthmatic pa
tients.
He found, first of all, that bicycle
riding, whether by invalids or well per-
sons, increased the depth of breathing
without fatigue. More air was taken
into the lungs to aerate the blood.
Chest expansion increased slightly.
The patient with asthma could not
ride very far at first without wheeling
and coughing. At night he choked up
about as badly as ever. Little by little,
day after day, this wore of. and, at
length, after year of moderate riding;
it dawned upon him one day that he was
so much improved that ride of 80
or 40 miles did not fatigue him in the
least. Furthermore, all that disagree
able tightness over the chest at night
from which he had suffered for years
was gone.
In another year he could ride so miles
where he had heen mile n rido OK and
without any discomfort. During the
winter he rode indoors.
To-day he is practically well. Amer
lean physicians, who have studied the
subject. are inclined to agree with the
theory Of the bicycle cure for asthma.
At least half dozen instances are cited
in New York of men who seem to be par
tally cured by judicious use Of the
wheel.-N. Y. Journal.
