NOTHING BUT AIR.

In a day we should exhaust a small
roomful. ten feet long, seven feet wide
and ten inches high.
For years supply we should re-
quire reservoir or hall 100 feet square
and shade over rs feet high, and the
supply for a long life of eighty years
would be contained In a large hail /, 900
feet long, 500 feet wide and AZ feet
high.
1t Is, however, absurdly small when
we consider that at this rate Of con-
sumption 1t would take man five
days and nine and one-half hours to
exhaust the air In a small room Is feet
square and 10 feet high.
Any form of exertion, however,
greatly increases the consumption Of
air Thus, IL we saunter at two miles
an hour we require just twice as much
air as when sitting In our armchair;
and at four miles an hour nothing less
than 1900 cubic inches will satisfy us.
Taking an average consumption
throughout life Of one cubic foot Of
air every two minutes, we reach some
very interesting conclusions. Thus, an
hours supply Of air could be contained
In trunk five feet long, three feet
wide and two feet deep.
Man wants but little here below Z"
In an axiom which applies markedly to
the quantity Of air which is necessary
to support life. It Is estimated that
when a man Is at rest he consumes
500 cubic inches Of air every minute,
an allowance which, at the first glance.
appears large.

UNCERTAIN TELEPHONES.

that the tolls are very low, but the
way the exchanges are run is well

BLACK WALNUT GOES ABROAD.
States Along the Mississippi Arc
Searched for Fine Trees.

The great size often reached by the
black walnut, the richness of the dark

all conspire to make this the most
choice and high-priced of our native
woods.
Twenty-Five years ago walnut was
extensively used In the manufacture
of fine furniture and flnishings in this
country, but manufacturers adroitly
drew attention to the beauty of darkly
stained quartered oak, and the use of
the rarer wood has greatly declined.
But all this time the search for the
fine black walnut logs has gone on
systematically, though quietly, the
trade attracting little attention.
though the volume of lumber handled
has been large.
The great source Of supply has been

valley. The walnut Is at home in the
rich alluvial bottom lands of the west.
