marvellous. A soldier can now aim

High Attitudes.

The effect of altitude on the
blood has been studied in New
Mexico with interesting and
perhaps valuable results. DR..
Maltby undertook the work at
the suggestion of the director of
the professor of the biological
laboratory Of the university Of
New Mexico, and the study,
interrupted for a time by the
death of DR.. Maltby. has been
continued by Prof. Weinzirl, 1t
was found that the
blood corpuscles are greatly
increased when q person
from d low altitude reaches u
higher one, but this effect with
the powerful stimulus involved
is only transitory, Observa
TONS showed that while persons
who have long resided in New
Mexico have no more corpuscles
than others in lower regions,
these same persons may renew
or repeat the original effect OF
altitude by short residence al
the sea level or elsewhere,
What amounts TO the same thing
is the fact that one by residing
at 1000 or 5000 feet may secure
