could not repeat under ordinary cir
cumstanCes more than twenty times,
found after four minutes of this
preparatory breathing that | could
do twenty-seven times, t. e., about
80 per cent. more. This increase !
found to exist at all stages of fat
igue, as might be expected.
The pulse beat goes up very rap
idly while the breathing is continu-
ed, in my own case from about 65 to
loo after four minutes breathing
Another curious effect which per-
haps is worth mentioning is the ap-
parent rapid lapse of time during
the latter half of a hard breathing
period. This change in the time
sense is very noticeable.
AS a mental stimulant, and as =
means to increase the time during
which the system can do without
respiration violent breathing might
find considerable useful application,
and daring rescues from suffocation
are common enough to make a
knowledge of this possible threefold
endurance without air of no little
I value.

TRY FORCED BREATHING.
ID. +. Comstock, of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology, Says So.

While diSclaiming all pretense to
originality, | desire to call attention
to important facts that have been
generally neglected. | should not
venture to describe phenomena
which are so easily within the reach
of every one had ! not found among
people at large, and even among
scientific men, a surprising ignor-
ance as to their existence.
1t has been noticed by others that
deep violent breathing for several
make respiration unnecessary for
perhaps as much as five minutes af-
ter this preparatory breathing is
over. In my own case l have found
that four minutes enforced breath
ing makes it possible to hold the
breath for 3h minutes, whereas
without this preparation Sc seconds
was my limit The time curing
which ii is possible to do without
respiration increases, of course, with
the length of time during which the
preparatory breathing is carried on.
The increase does not go on indet-
initely, but reaches a definite limit,
beyond which further length of time
given to preparatory breathing does
not increase the time during which
the breath may be held
The preparatory breathing is ef-
| fective long after the washing out
of the lungs must have been COM
| pleted. The change produced in
| the system is certainly, therefore
most fundamental than lung
change, and would appear to a lay
man to indicate temporary change
| in blood constitution.
The effect as a mental stimulant
is very pronounced. l have noticed
in my own case that mental fatigue
may be postponed, far beyond the
usual point, by two minutes OF rapiC
deep breathing at half-hour inter
vals A feeling of sluggishness ol
sleepiness may be almost completely
dispelled. ! have never noticed an!
reaction as in the case Of most stim
ulants, and altogether 1t seems to m'
very satisfactory,

WONDERFUL INVENTION STOR
ING HEAT.

The wonderful in electricity has
become SO common as to cease to
be wonderful. A revolution in the
production of current has been await
ing Edison's threatened storage bat
terry for years-and is still waiting.
Meanwhile the problem of storing
energy has been attacked from an
other angle in England, and with
such amazing success that British
electric light companies are making
prices for electric light to-day at less
than a quarter of what they charged
three months ago, and consider the
low-priced current more profitable
than the old method of charging.
All this has been brought about
| by a system of heat storage, which
is first cousin to the storage battery.
The new system is, like many revo-
lutionary ideas, the result of chance,
and to understand its great advant-
ages it is necessary to know some
thing of the principles of producing
electricity.
Since electricity is an instantane-
Gus product Chat is, it must be used
the instant it is produced) it is nee
essary for all lighting plants to have
sufficient machinery to meet the
greatest demand for current at any
one instant, This greatest demand
is at present about four or five times
! the demand for current. 1t usually
comes in the afternoon between 5
and 6 o'clock, when all the manu-
facturers are using power, when all
the office buildings are lighted when
all the factories light up for the last
hours work, when all the residence
lighting begins, and when the street
lights are turned on.
1t is easy to see that there is a
wide variation in the demand on the
power house. From midnight to
morning there is no demand save for
street lamps, and comparatively few
other lights in restaurants and other
all-night institutions. In the morn
ing these lights go out and the de-
mand on the power house sometimes
drops for a half hour or so until the
manufacturers begin to start their
motors. At noon, during the lunch
hour the demand drops to it's lowest
point, when there is no lighting and
no power demanded At O'Clock
there is a rapid increase in demand
so that is an hour the power house
must rise from comparatively
small supply to its greatest output
which continues not more than two
hours.
This maximum output is called the
peak" because it is indicated by {
peak on the chart which records the
consumption of current at any giveI
period during the day. The 'peal
load" has been the principal factor IL
keeping up the price OF electricity
| and efforts have been made for years
to reduce the peak" or bring VI
! the average consumption to NOR,
] nearly equal the peak.
, Edison has been working for
long time to perfect a storage bat
/ terry which will enable power hous,
to store current during its low de
mand periods so that ii may be turn
