sToRED-UP BREATH.
Among Land AniInaIs the Java Bar Is
One of tho Most
Curious.

To q certain extent all animals that
live in the sea, such as whales, wal
ruses, seals, dolphins and porpoises,
have the power TO store up air, as they
breathe only at intervals when they
come to the surface for that purpose,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch But of
land animals the most extraordinary
case is that Of the bat (nycteris javani-
cus), which inhabits Java and parts Of
Africa. This creatures skin is only
attached to its body in a few places, so
that beneath it there Is a vacant space
which IS connected with two small aper-
lures at the bottom Of its cheeks by
means Of q deep groove down the middle
of the forehead.
The nostrlls are so formed that they
close when the animal is at rest and
open only at VIII, which would prevent
its breathing while asleep. But by re-
spring IN peculiar why,w7h its mouth
closed. the animal can initiate the store
house beneath the skin with spare air,
which It pumps along its frontal pas
sage. over It's back. chest and abdomen,
until it is puffetl out like balloon.

to seek relief in California, and, with
$1,000 capital, the Bwings went west.
This money was soon expended, and the
wi1e found herself compelled TO take
care of a sick husband and make a
living at the same time. Mrs. Ewing
preempted a tract of government land,
five miles from Cucamonga, in San

THE USE OF SALT.

Contrary 10 the general belief that
salt is an essential part OF our daily
diet, Capt pondeXter, assistant SUR
geon in the United States army, main-
tains that It would be better to substi-
tate for it's use certain vegetable condi-
ments. such as sugar, pepper, horse
radish, spices, cranberry sauce, pickles,
vinegar, olive oil, etc. lie says that per-
sonally no has not been so situated that
he could stop the use Of salt absolutely,
but he has reduced il TO a minimum,
and finds himself generally better phys
ieally and mentally, says the Atlanta
Constitution. He finds ia his own case
that the senses Of taste and hearing
are apparently more active than when
he used salt more freely. His hair,
which had begun TO fall OFF, has ceased
doing so. His skin seems softer and
clearer than before. and there arc many
other favorable changes. The broad
hypothesis he adopts is that mineral
matter as derived directly from the
earth is, If not poisonous, unassimila-
BILE and unnecessary for our bodies. lie
holds, however, that salt Is an irritable
poison, causing an irritation or sensi-
tiveness of the tissues, as it circulntes
through the body and consequently in-
luccs tendency to disease. in the labor
