THE AIR WE BREATHE.
An Average of One Cubic Foot Con
sumed Every Two Minutes.


sumed Every Two Minutes.
Man wants but little here below" is
an axiom which applies markedly to
the quantity of air which is necessary
TO support life. 1t is estimated that
when a man is at rest he consumes 800
cubic inches of air every minute, an al
lOwancc which at the first glance APP
pears large.
1t is, however. abSurdly small when
we consider that at this rate of con-
sumption it would take a man > days
and 81 hours to exhaust the air in a
small room II feet square and 10 feet
high.
Any form of exertion. however, great
" increases the consumption of air.
Thus if we saunter at two miles an
hour we require just twice as much air
as when sitting in our armchair. and
ut four miles an hour nothing less than
300 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 > feet long, : feet wide and >
feet deep.
In day We should exhaust a small
roomful, 10 feet long. feet wide and
10 feet high.
For a years supply we should require
a reservoir or hall 100 feet square and
Il shade over 26 feet high. and the sup
ply for a long life of 50 years would be
contained in large hall 1000 feet
long, 500 feet wide and ~ feet high

can such another landlady be found?
Who will point me out another such

The grand promoter expected il. For
the past week he had observed many
signs that his landlady had lost con-
fidence in him and was working up her
nerve TO present him a bill. His cheer
fulness at the dinner table almost Dor
dered on hiIarity. and as he left the
table he executed 4 flank movement
by saying:
My dear woman. il It is not asking
too much, / wish you would hand me
my account this evening. l don't want
to occupy your valuable time nor put
you 10 any extra trouble. but il seems
to me that we ought TO have 4 settle
ment without further delay"
He hadn't been in his room two min
utes when the landlady followed. She
had the bill in her hand and the light
Of anticipation in her eyes.
'-Ah"' said the major as he took the
bill from her hand. Nothing like
promprfiess in business affairs. Let
me see. The bill itself is made out in
proper form. The chirography is fair.

BLAZE In BOILER ROOM
FIRE DEPARTMENT IS CALLED
TWICE TO COURT BLOCK.

A small blaze in the basement of the
Court block on East Fourth street, last
night, compelled the fire department to
make two runs before the fire was ex-
tinguished.
The first alarm was sent III about 10
o'clock, but when the department ar
rived on the scene, the flames, which had
been in a wooden platform over the boil
ers which form a portion of the heat
ing plant of the ST Paul Gas company,
had been quenched with few buckets of
water. AS a precautionary measure the
charred platform was drenched with
chemical and the department withdrew.
At II o'clock a still alarm called the
department again to the scene, the flames
having broken out anew. Owing to the
small space between the platform and the
boilers it was necessary to tear out a
large portion of the flooring before the
flames could be reached sufficiently to
extinguish them for good.
The origin of the fire was at first
mystery the fires being lowered when
the flames were discovered. Later the
fires were renewed and steam turned on
when the blaze broke out afresh and
the cause was manifest.
The damage will probably amount to
about $100 by reason of the wrecked plat
form. The plant, which furnishes steam
for the court house and a number of Of
flee and business blocks in the vicinity,
did not suffer.

GOV. LIND may STAY in
WILL BE UP TO VAN SAINT TO GET
A WRIT.

Contest or no contest" is one of the
all-absorbing questions occupying the
minds of politicians throughout the state
at the present time.
In a nutshell, there is nothing new
about the gubernatorial election, but the
fact remains that hundreds of letters
from representative men all over the
state keep coming in asking for re.
count. Gov. Lind and Chairman Rosing
have been receiving these letters ever
since the election, and, considering them
in the aggregate, they are to the effect
that too many large interests in and for
the state are at stake to let matters
stand. AS the days pass on and make it
strikingly evident that a recount would
be in order the letters increase in mum
Der.
If it should be decided that a recount
is necessary for the welfare of the state
it would not be surprising If Gov Lind
refused to vacate his Office Nothing has
been said with regard to that as yet, but
the precedent established in Wisconsin
many years ago may be followed and
then it will be ''up to- Van SAINT If an
other plan is followed, the contest will
be instituted by Gov. Lind. The gov
ernor is now out of the city and it is
impossible to obtain his views on the
contest question.

THIRTEEN WERE KILLED
DISASTROUS ACCIDENT TO FRENCH
SOUTHERN EMPRESS

BAYONNE, France. Nov. 15.-The
Southern express was deraiIed at noon
today between st. Georges and Sau-
bausse, near Dax, about forty-three miles
northeast of Bayonne. The restaurant
car was precipitated over an embank-
ment. Thirteen persons were killed and
twenty others injured severely. Five
passengers are missing. The list of killed
include j. T. Caneyaro, Peruvian minister
to France and an attache to the Peruvian
legation in Madrid. The section of the
line where the accident occurred is under
repair and the derailnlent is attributed
to the great speed of the express.
The engineers says the ground gave
way under the locomotive, which sank
into the ballast. The restaurant car
came into terrific collision with the tend
er and alone rolled down the em6ank-
ment.
1t was luncheon hour and out Of thirty
four passengers in the train, thirty were
at table The bodies were terribly
mangled One of the buffers Of the
restaurant car, who was slightly in
jured, became suddenly insane and walk
ed to and fro amid the wreckage sing
ing at the top of his voice. The engeneer
and stoker, who were thrown into a
field, had miraculous escapes.
