Good Effects of Singing.

Many medical men are now recon-
mending their patients to study sing
ing, which is a most salutary exercise,
both by virtue of its influence on the
emotions. on the respiratory move
ments and on the development of the
lungs. says the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat- Nothing better shows the bene-
fetal influence OF singing in develop
ing the chest and warding off lung
diseases than the freedom from puimo-
nary affections among professional
singers. Moreover. their general health
is exceptionally good. and this Is prob
ably in a large measure attributable
not only to their necessarily careful
plan of living. but also to the exercise
of their calling. Some physicians main
tain that for defective chest develop
ment and in chronic hear trouble sing
ing is an unequaled exercise. The
singer should be clad so as to lilo alb
solute freedom of the chest move
ments. There should be no constric-
ton of the neck or waist. The collar
should be low and ample. and if cor
sets are worn they should be roomy
and loose. One error into which sing
ers. and especially amateurs. fall is to
practice too much. The length of time
to be given to the exercise depends
much upon the character and condition
Of the voice.

MYSTERY OF +

In the Mineral
How far down il the scale OF being
goes the power OF conscious movement
which We are accustomed TO associate
with animal life aloneg asks The Pail
researches which he has lately made
into the brain power of plants, thinks
he has found indications of it in the
vegetable world also.
Ii is well known that plants like the
daisy, which shut at night. close also
during an eclipse, which looks as il
their movement vas not periodical. but
dependent on the will. And Arthur
Smith gives Us the story OF a goose
berry bush which. when deprived Of a
sheltering garden wall, threw out a
branch which made its way TO a thick
foliased tree more than q yard OF. al
though in doing so il had TO climb over
a barrier of bricks.
IL is also to be noted that ch~loroform
and other an8sthetics have precisely
the same effect upon c~arniyorous and
other sensitive plants apparently en-
dowed with the power of voluntary
movement that they have upon the ami
mai organization If, therefore. the
lettuce does not remove itself from the
clutch of the gardener who is going to
cut ii. il may be argued that it is mere
iy because it cannot move quickly
enough
But does not something of the same
sort occur in the mineral world also?
Lord Kelvin has shown that metallic
wires which have lost their elasticity
from continuous strain will regain 1t if
left two or three weeks in q state Of
repose. And what is the mysterious
force which compels certain solutions
TO pass from the liquid TO the crystal
line state which presents so many anal
ogies with hat of vegetable life? Thus
there may be reason for thinking that
life in some shape or another extends
through the whole of nature and that
even inorganic bodies may prove to be.

well known property of platinum to re

previously heated to glow heat, while
a carburetted current OF air Is directed
upon its surface, its ncandescence ris

the air current. To work II the foun

heated, the head of the reservoir is also
heated for a m~oment-the ether ~

pressure of the jet can be gagged by
the operator through pressure upon the

of three atmospheres. the instrument
