MOUNTAIN AIR.
Why 1t Is Helpful to Cer.ai1 Classes
of Patients.

Recognizing that phthisisis chiefly
prone to occur among those who
from their mode of life do not
thoroughly expand their lungs, and
that In the rarer atmosphere of
high attitudes much more complete
expansion of the lungs is necessary
to obtain the same quantity Of OK
ygen than would be required in the
denser air of the plains, the benefit
of residence in the mountains has
been attributed to a constant I'M
conscious effort to expand the lung
more fully, and to the consequent
greater interchange of air in its re-
cesses. Certainly the marked en-
largement of the capacity of the
chest which is often found after a
few months residence in the high
Alps, and the tendency to the de-
velopment of compensatory en-
physema around the diseased and
contracting portions of the lungs.
tend to show that this theory is
correct so far as it goes. But all
who go into the Alps feel that there
is something more than this in
mountain air, and it has recently
been shown that not only do the
chest muscles adapt themselves to
the new conditions, but that the
blood itself becomes altered in re-
Spouse to the lesseDed amount of the
more rarified oxygen which each
blood corpuscle can carry. The eff
Of &bic IF oIo ~ %io-, .
that the red corpuscles multiply
considerably, while, according to
some, the hemoglobin is also in
creased. In any case, the oxygen
carrying capacity of the blood is in
creased. This accords fully with
the wel-known effect of mountain
air in the treatment of aneuia, and
also with the feeling of weil-being
felt by visitors to high attitudes. It
does not do, however, to dissect o
climate too much, or to attribute to
one or two factors what really is due
to the concurrence of many in
fuenccs, and it seems probable that
mountain air depends for its efficacy
on many conditions besides its
IeSSened density, such, Tor example,
IS its purity, its dryness and its
compare lively low temperature,
combined with the intense solar
radiation common at high attitudes.
That these are the really importan
conditions, and that lowered baro-
metric pressure is not everything, is
shown by the fact that to get the
full benefit Of the mountains people
must get out OF doors, whereas the
alessened density of the air should af-
feet those indoors just as much as
those outside. Nevertheless we are
quite prepared to believe that the
compensatory blood changes pro
duced by residence in the noun tains
are important elements in the
mountain cure. = London Hos

Anci IN: Wri .ings.

The most ancient books are the
writings of Moses and the poems of
Homer and Hesiod The earliest
sacred writings of the Chinese are
called the Five Kings, king meaning
web OF cloth, or the warp that keeps
the threads in their place. They
contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the ethics-political duties
of life. These savings cannot be
traced to period higher than the
eleventh century B. C. The Three
Vedas are the most ancient books of
the Hindoos, and it is the opinion of
Max Muller, Wilson, Johnson and
Whitney that they are not older
than II cen turtles 3. G. The Zenda-
vesta of the Pcrsi2ns is the grand
est of al the sacred books, next to
our Bible. Zoroaster, whose say
ings it contains, was born in the
twelfth century 3. c. Moses wrote
his Pentateuch 10 centuries B. c.,
and, therefore, preceded by 800
years the most ancient of the sacred
writings.

a Minnesota Man Thinks He Has
Solved tn, Pro bIem.

J. G. Kallcr, of Mankato, Mimi,
has applied for patent for an in
vention which be says will take the
place OF steam engines and electric
motors. The device is called a by
draulic motor, and the principle
upon which it works is the natural
law which causes lighter substances
than water to rise to the surface.
An endless chain of small air
tight tanks is placed over two
sprocllct wheels in such a manner
that on one side it will pass upward
through large tank of water. AS
each air tank enters the water tank
from below through water tight
valve it will be forced to the sur
face by the superior weight of the
water, and il this way the chain
will be kept in perpetual motion,
revolving the sprocket wheels. to
which the shafts are attached
Thus. if the claims of the invea tor
are true, The motor Will run on in

many years. there will be no contro-

concerning a possible revival Of the

is known that many OF the commits

favorable TO their re-admIssion and re-
establishment in The church. Nobody
can be found, however. who Is Wiling
TO take tho responsibility Of preciplta-
ting the matter upon the assembly, and
II ia certain that any attempt to do so
would BIO defeated by an overwhelming
vote.
Three years ago, the denomination
erected a great mission building In
| New York, which by reason OF the DIFF
ieully in obtaining tenants has since
been a heavy load on its hands. Last
year a committee was appointed to
consider what disposition should b
made OF the structure. IT'S membership
included former President Harrison

and former Governor Beaver, OF Penn
