Dynamics Of Coughing,

From the London Medical Press and Circular
The amount of energy expended in cough
ing Is very considerable; indeed. one of the
patient statisticians for whom Germany is
renowned has calculated that patient who
coughs once every quarter of an hour for
ten hours expends energy equivalent to $50
units of heat, which may be translated az
equivalent to the nourfshment contained in
three eggs or two glasses OF milk. In
normal respiration the air is expelled from
the chest at the rate of four feet per sec
ond, whereas in violent coughing ii NAV ar

LOST AMONG STRANGERS:
A BAGGAGEMAN'S MENAGERIE

+. \. Graves, baggageman at the d.,
Il. l. q y. w, is amusing himself
these days caring for "A small menag-
erie that has fallen into his posses
sion through some mistake. The
other day box containing woolly
maStiff pup and black Spanish
chicken got lost out of consign-
ment of household goods. The pup
is small enough to lie down in an S
by 12-inch apartment and the chick
en- is less than half grown. There
was no mark on the box and Mr..
Graves did not know where to send it.
After waiting i'm vain for someone
to call for the package. the baggage
man took them out of their cramped
quarters and fed and watered them.
The chicken proved very tame and
seemed to be on the best possible
terms with the pup. After their meal
they had a romp, which they appear
ed to enjoy equally. although the
chicken generally got the rough end
of the play. Today they were tied
up, and the chicken spent the great
er part of the time complaining
about the situation and trying to UNI
tie the cord about its leg. Mr..
Graves has wired for instruction in
Graves has wired for instructions in
regard to the disposal of the pair.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-06-20

while respected generally by grown
people, do not offer serious OBJ
stacle to the children, who jump over
them and break them down, thus
preparing a way for general STAN
pede across the sod.
The tendency of the public to cut
the corners and of those delivering
from house to house to chase across
lots, is another source of discour-
agement to those trying to grow a
lawn. Pedestrians should keep in
their minds eye the vision of a fence
skirting the sidewalk and keep to the
path with the same fidelity as though
one were really there, realizing that
the fence is generally wanting
through a regard for appearance on
the part of the owner of the lot.
In many places grass would, if once
started, survive the tramping that the
ground is subjected to. but it is inn
possible TO make any Roadway with
the young and tender plants. In
view of the efforts that are being
made all about the city at the pres
ent time to promote sightliness il
seems that there should be some
enactment on the part of the city
council making transgressions upon
growing grass misdemeanors, if the
owner of the land chooses to prose-
cute, and subject to a fine.
