SKIN AND LUNGS,
How Closely They Are Related is
Here Shown.

That the skin is intimately con-
nected withe the lungs is proved by
the fact that our minor ills of the res
plratory tract-colds, for instance
are almost always traceable to a
checking of the perspiration so that
the impurities of the blood poison us.
Everybody knows the story about the
little boy that was covered with gold
leaf as a cherub for some Roman
pomp, and how he died in agony q few
hours afterward. The poisons manu-
featured by his own organisms slew
him, to say nothing of his suffocation.
Burns involving more than one-third
of the general surface are fatal be-
cause the excretory powers of the skin
are lessened beyond the abilities of
the other depuratory organs to make
up for. Varnish an animal and it will
die in from six to twelve hours, say
some authorities. This is incontroVer-
tible, that nobody ever heard of any
case of tarring- and-feathering that
killed the victim. He might have had
all kinds of trouble in getting the stuff
Off, and he might have felt a certain
shock to his pride, but he didn't die
that anybody ever heard of. | never
assisted at ceremony of this kind az
either end of the joke, and so cannot
speak as to the completeness with
which the body is covered with the
tar, but from the general knowledge
Of the character of the people of the
west and southwest, where such
sports are freely INDUCED in, | should
say that it would most likely be a.
thorough and comprehensive pigmer-
tation. 1t may be that the man
breathes through the quilts of the
feathers stuck on, but | doubt it.
should think tar would seal up the
pores of skin quite as affectually as
Varnish, and it is a paint warranted
to wear in all weatheTs and not to
crack or scale Off I went swimming
once with a lot of boys when was
young, and there was a tar kettle
right by the swimming hole. Well,
sir, it was three weeks before-but
perhaps we need not go into all that
now."-Harvey Sutherland in Ains-
lees.

The Misjudged Glass.

In the gay costumes of the stage We
do not get very good idea of what
manner of men and women those be-
longing to the opera chorus are. At a
rehearsal we see it all at a glance.
They are foreign to their finger-tips.
Dagoes, we should call them in the
disrespectful language of our every
day life. But they are undoubtedly
very respectable, and certainly very
handwriting. They appear at every
performance, at every rehearsal. |
really believe that there is no class of
people outside the sweat-shops of New
York that works harder or more in
cessantly. 1t is study, rehearse, per
form every day and almost every
night. There is no let-up on them, yet
they seem to enjoy their work and
their life. Indeed. am sure they en-
JOY both, for they are inspired by a
love for the art, which they serve
zealously though humbly. I have
read slanderous stories about these
Woodworking people. Those who give
the stories currency should them
selves be pilloried; those who believe
the stories should be heartily ashamed
of themselves. Theirs is hard work
and honest work, and assists to make
the world more beautiful and life
more happy.-John Gilmer Speed In

OUR SWEAT SYSTEM.
Miles of Sweat Glands on the Human
Body.

Miles of Sweat Glands on the Human
Body.
1T may be interesting to know that
one perspires more on the right side
of the body than on the left, and that
the skin of the palm of the hand ex-
cretes four and a half times as much
proportionately to the surface as the
skin of the back. The pores in the
ridges of the palm number as many as
5000 to the square inch. They are
scarcest on the back, where there are
only 400 to the square inch. These
pores are not simple holes or per-
forations in the hide, as some i'm
agine, but are little pockets lined with
the same epithelium of pavement stuff
that covers the external of the body.
They run straight down into the deep
est structure of the skin, and there
they kink up and coil around till they
look like fishing line that has been
thrown down wet. Enclosed in this
knot are little veins that leak the
Precipitation through the walls of the
tube, and it wells up to the surface OF
! the skin. It is estimated that the av-
erage-sized man has 100000 of these
sweat glands, aggregating twenty
eight miles of tubing. Think of it.
Twenty-eight miles of all those tiny
tubes could be Strengthened out and
put end to end. These figures, won
derful though they may seem, are on
the very best medical authority.
They are the figures of men who have
given their lives to the study of this
subject. But still, if they seem too
large to you, there is just as good
medical Authority for the statement
that there are 100000 sweat glands
On the human body, each one-ffteenth
OF an inch long, and that their ag-
gregate length is two miles and
half! Think of it Two miles and a
half! If you object to that, too, l
have the very best authority for the
statement that they are one-quarter of
an inch long and aggregate more than
nine miles, or can figure it for you at
seven miles or twelve miles. Take
your pick. Our motto is: We aim to
please If one figure suits you more
than another, it's yours. We can sub
stantiate it by the very best medical
authority.
Il find only one figure, however, for
the amount of liquid secreted by the
skin of an average person in year.
though it is evident that the quantity
must vary greatly according as the
person works in an icehouse or rides
a bicycle uphill. From the average
person in a years time there oozes
through the pores of the skin 1900
pounds of water. Let us see: A

JUST LUCK MADE HIM CONSUL.

TO ENGLAND IN TWO DAYS.
Steamships of the Future Will Cross
the Atlantic in az Hours.

Fast electric ships crossing the
ocean at more than a mile a minute,
will go from New York to Liverpool in
two days." writes John Elfreth Wat
kins, Jr., in the Ladies' Home Journal
"The bodies of these ships will be
built above the waves. They will be
supported upon runners, somewhat
like those of the sleigh. These run
ners will be very buoyant. Upon their
under sides will be apertures expe1l-
ing jets of air. H. this way a film Of
air will be kept between them and the
waters surface. This film, together
with the small surface of the runners
will reduce friction against the waves
to the smallest possible degree. Pro
pellers turned by electricity viii screw
themselves through both the water
beneath and the air above. Ships with
cabins artifcially cooled will be en-
tirely fire-proof. In storm they will
dive below the water and there await
fair weather"
