THIS-MAJoR GENERAL BELL
MAKES KNOWN OBSERVATIONS

Washington, Jan. ITO definitely
settle certain important questions of
fact relative to the army canteen sys-
TEN and to meet the assertion that the
repeated application of the War De-
partment for the repeal OF che law
which abolished the canteen was not
based upon facts, Major General Bell,
chief of staff. has caused careful
study of the matter to be made and a
full record prepared with the view of
placing before the secretary of war the
reasons why the law should be repeal
ed. This statement forms one of the
principal chapters in his annual report.
General Bell reaches this conclusion:
When the canteen was in operation
there were fewer assertions. fewer
fines and forfeitures imposed by sen
tence of cOurt-martial less alcoholism
and less venereal disease than prior
to it's establishment. The morals and
discipline of the army have suffered
though, of course. no one should be sc
narrow as to ascribe to the abolition OF
the canteen feature all evil effects oh

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

The football match is stopped. Man
hurt" Take time off'-these ire the
expressions to be heard when a player
is "w;nded." But why has he col
lapsed? Why is he gasping 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 ont
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 air inside which
should press against the pressure out
side.
What about the work of the lungs7
Suppose the word laundry" is used
instead. That is just the idea. The
impure blood travels to the lungs quito
dark red in color. The reason is that
1t contains much carbonic acid gas.
Try breathing through a tube into
some lfmewater. 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 oxygen
you have inspired meets some carbonic
acid gas and they change places.
Down the oxygen goes till it meets
the air cells. Imagine a prison cell
with a 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 lun; to be ex-
PRED
What is the blood taking away ?
Your blood is full of small live bodies
compassionate 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 1t
goes round the body and in a minute
or two comes back TO the lungs with
fresh cargo of impure gas.
In one day you breathe out 5000
cubic inches of this impure gas. Weigh
ii, and there are six ounces of solid
. carbon. There is enough material for
a dozen lead pencils. Put this fact In
another way
You will breathe out In one year 1877
pounds OF solid matter perhaps as
much as you weigh
Where Goes il all go:" you ask.
What about the trees and shrubs i?
They are principally made of carbon
Perhaps a tree contains some parts o;

A microscope will show you holes on
the under side of a leaf. At certain
times of the day this breathed out gas
from human beings enters and passes
into the interior OF the leaf.

tains millions OF chlorophyl bodies.

William Woods, a colored man, was
released today from the city jail,
where he had been confined for the
past ten days on a charge of suspicion.
Woods was suspected of having stolen
q valuable watch from Mrs. Clara
Hickman, who lives in the north end
of the city. Mr.. and Mrs. Hickman
have been most energetic in urging the
police to place the thief in custody
and they were confident that Woods
was the guilty party.
Ever since his arrest, Woods has

three men who were supposed to have
seen Woods with the stolen property
testified. when brought before CHIEF
Bailey, that they had not seen the col
Ored man with the ticker" Failing
to secure any discriminating evidence
against Woods, it was decided today to
reIease him.
After Woods had joyfully taken his
departure from durance vile Chief
Bailey said that the watch over which
hub-bub had arisen was an lngersoll
time-piece. which can be obtained from
any reliable dealer for the price Of one
dollar Owing to the clamor made
about the theft of the Hickman watch,
Chief Bailey took it for granted that
the time-piece was a valuable one. Not
until today did he think of inquiring
about the make or value of it.
