WORK OF THE LUNGS.
What Has Happened When an Athlete
Gets "Winded.n

Gets MINDED"
The football match is stopped Man
hurt aTake time of" these are the
expressions to be heard when a player
IS s.winded.n But why has he col
lapsedg why is he gasDing for air?
A few facts concerning the lungs will
explain matters.
You have 200 cubic inches of air In
your chest, and you only breathe out
at each expiration about twenty to
thirty of these. Try as hard as you
can, you are unable to breath out all
the air. 1t would be bad for you If you
could, for your lungs are in kind of
bag. Prick this, and the lungs col
lapse.
The footballer has had too much air
knocked out of him. No wonder he
gasps. for the atmosphere is pressing
on his chest at the rate of fifteen
pounds to the square inch. He has
lost some of the AFR inside which
should press against the pressure out
side.
What about the work of the lungs?
Suppose the word laundry" is used
instead. That is just the idea. The
impure blood travels to the lungs quite
dark red in color. The reason is that
it contains much carbonic acid gas.
Try breathing through lube into
some limewater. Notice the clean wa
ter becomes milky. This gas is con-
tinually passing from the blood into
the lungs.
You have to breathe six or eight
times before the air reaches the bottom
Of the lungs The first breath only
gets to your collar stud. The ,xygen
you have inspired meets some .rbonic
acid gas, and they c! nge places.
Down the oxygen .oes till it meets
the air cells. Imagine a prison cell
with transparent door. The blood,
as it were, can see the oxygen. Right
through the skin wall the oxygen
passes. The carbonic acid gas also
passes out into the lungs to be ex-
pfred.
What is the blood taking away?
Your blood is full of small live bodies
--corpuscles- and these will take as
much oxygen as you can give them.
The blood is so happy when it obtains
some of this gas that it changes its
color from dark to light red. Away it
goes round the body and in minute
or two comes back to the lungs with
fresh cargo of impure gas
In one day you breathe out 10000
cubic inches of this impure gas. Weigh
1t, and there are six ounces of solid
carbon There is enough material for
a dozen Eead pencils. Put this fact in
another way.
You will breathe out in one year 1877
pounds of soiil matter. perhaps as
much as you weigh.
where does it all go?" you ask.
What about the trees and shrubs
They are principally made of carbon.
Perhaps a tree contains some parts of
what was once man.
A microscope will show you holes, on
the under side of leaf. At certain
times of the day this breathed out gas
from human beings enters and passes
into the interior of the leaf.
Now, leaf is green because it con-
tains millions of chlorophyl bodies.
These take the carbonic acid gas
eat, if you will, the carbon-and set
the oxygen free to be rebreathed by
man. Pearson's Weekly.

1t seems to be the universal testimony
from localities in the north part Of the
corn belt that the seed corn saved last
fall is not up to the usual standard.
In view of this situation the only safe
way is to make careful test Of every
ear that is to be used for seed. The
slipshod indifference that is quite like
" to constitute the attitude OF SO many
on this most vital question and that
will cause them to be content with the
good old way Of their grandfathers will
In all probability reduce the yield Of
corn on individual farms from ten to
thirty bushels to the acre and the total
yield the country over By hundreds Of
millions Of bushels.

A tree planting custom is In vogue
in the state of Massachusetts that
might be followed with profit by many
of her sister commemorative. For a
number of years past the state high
way commission has made a practice
of setting out along the highways Of
the state between 5000 and 1000 trees,
their thought being tlat the shade re-
sulting not only tends to save the
roads, but furnishes comfort for trav-
elers as well.

1t is more satisfactory as well as
more profitable proposition to go

Girls employed in the Philadelphia
postoffice have resolved they will cease
to spend their time reading novels and
will not ''mollycoddlep themselves any
more. Instead they will go in for out
door athletics and become noble speci-

basket ball teams. Let novel reading,
mollycoddle girls elsewhere sit up and

While Insecticides will do good deal
to protect the melons, squashes and
cucumbers from the striped bug, the
safest way is to construct boxes foot
square of six inch stuff and tack
mosquito netting over the top. This
will effectively protect the tender vines
until the bug pest is past.

Odd places and corners in the garden
may just as well be made to grow to-
mato vines or hills Of beans as mess
of unsightly weeds. It is quite safe
to assume that if something useful is
not grown on such places something
harmful will. 1t is law of plant as
we'll as human life.

What a godsend it would be in view
of the scarcity Of agricultural laborers
in almost all sections of the country
ii thousands Of the surplus population
in many of our large cities, who are
underfed and are suffering for lack Of
sunshine and fresh air, could be in
duced to go into the country and In
part supply this demand for labor!
Could such situation be brought
about everybody concerned would be
benefited.

1t is quite likely to be the fellow who
staryes and robs his titled fields of
their fertility who is also in the habit
of turning his cattle on to pasture

Killing Of weeds is but one of the
two chief purposes Of filling growing
crops. The other is the stirring and
loosening Of the soil so as to make pos
sible a free circulation Of air through
it and to prevent too rapid evapora-
tion Of the moisture which it contains.
Although a field Of corn or other crop
may be perfectly clean, one of the
most important reasons for cultivation
still exists.

A series of experiments conducted
with some of the alkali soils in the
western states seems to show that
they will grow good crops of sugar
beets where they will not produce
grasses or legumes. IF this proves to
be generally true, it will have been an
agricultural fact worth finding out.

Some one has recommended sowing

count Of how five working girls rented
a seven room city fat and made hap
by home, doing all their own house
work. They have brought their living
expenses food, rent and gas down to
$3.50 a week apiece and live better
than they would for 81 week in a

from two words, harmony and hustle.
