Holding the Breath.

Divers increase the time that they
can remain under water by a little
preliminary deep breathing. A late
experimenter has found that without
preparation he could hold his breath
for only ~ seconds, but after one
minute of forced breathing he could
hold it for 2 minutes and u seconds
after three minutes for minutes
and q seconds and after six minutes
for minutes and seconds. The eff
feet of the forced breathing appears
to be a freeing Of the blood and body
tissues from considerable carbon dioX-
ide. 1t proves to be undesirable, how
ever, to continue the forced breathing
more than two or three minutes, for
if it is prolonged the muscles Of the
hands become rigid and remain COM
pletely paralyzed for minute or two
after holding the breath begins In
actual practice the pearl divers of
Ceylon take only a few deep breaths
before descending.

AUTO RUNNING DAIRY MACHINERY.

of the wheels of the car will cause
a reverse motion of the rolls, which is
transmitted by means of the pulley
and belt to the shaft and thence to the
machinery. In this way the wear on
the tires is rendered uniform. The
grip on the rolls that these tires exer-
else is surprising.
A popularity of this arrangement is
that the car shows a tendency to skid
from side to side. This, however, is
easily overcome by means<of props or
bumpers, which are put in place so
as to limit the sidewise motion of the
car within the shed, the mere pressure
of the hand serving to move the car
easily when the wheels are revolving
on the rolls,
In very warm weather or on long,
heavy pulls it is sometimes necessary
to connect the circulating system with
the water supply in order to prevent
heating of the cylinders.

is necessary for some one to control
the engine on account of there being

ingenious farmer has solved the prob

the act of putting the car in its shed

the wheels with the machinery of the

will do the heavy work of running the
