PRESSING OUT THE BENDS"

Compressed air illness, pr caisson disease. has been recognized for many years. but it remained for Paul Bert. the eminent French physiolo- gist to discover the exact cause lie worked the whole matter out theo- reticaliy. and then proved it practI- cally by experiments on animals, thus saving thousands of lives. Normally we live under a pressure of atmos- phcre Of fifteen pounds to the square inch. and at this pressure a certain amout of gas goes into solution m the fluid of the body, (and, inciden- tally. we all are thrce-quarters llquld) as it goes into any other fluid. The air which surrounds us is not a chem ical compound but a mechanical mix ture. Leaving out of consideration about 0.4 to O.5 per cent of other gases. it consists of about twenty-one parts of oxygen and seventy-nine parts of nitrogen by volume.
 Now when q man or animal goes into compressed air, his blood takes irto solution an increased quantity Of oxygen and nitrogen from this com pressed atmosphere. the quantity or these gases absorbed being in direct rroportion to the increas in the pres sure. These gases taken up by the blood are gradually distributed.
 When man suddenly comes up into the normal atmosphere. as he usually does after work. the abnormal pressure is taken off and he under goes rapid "decompression.' When the extra compression is taken off the now freed nitrogen gas. which had been held in solution by the pressure forms into little bubbles in the blood AnI this is the cause of Inc whole trouble.
 These bubbles act as embolio Cob structions band block up the capiI- larirs Nittle blood vcsscis) in one or another part of the body. and. by thus cutting off the blood supply O; by direct mechanical violence. cause the various symptoms of compressed air illness. The harmful result- which take place only after the pa ticnt goes into normal air. where the extra pressure is taken off the nitro gen. may be prevented by making tho change from the highly compressed atmosphere slowly enough to allow
 the absorbed nitrogen to escape by
 the lungs.-Walter Peet, NJ. D. il Harper'S Weekly.

BOSTON SHOWS
 RE AL CLASS
Beantown Nationals Touted by Expert as Showing Most Marked Improve ment Over Last Year; Is Strongest Batting Team
tBv James Clarkson)

(IN JdlltS Nldl N9olAt
 CHICAGO. March 16.-With the 1 bells about to ring in the great base ball season. two clubs, the ClnclnnatI . Reds and the Boston Nationals, loom | up as the most improved in the 1912 battle.
 Neither team is in any immediate danger of copping the bunting. but from the carly outlook it would not be at all surprising to see them fight ing it out for first division berths-
 IL is noted that in estimating the strength of the two clubs that. both will be under new managers this season. Hank O'Day entering the ranks with the Reds. while Jo2nny King is stalking his all on the Pil- grims of the Hub.
 Undoubtedly the strongest batting team in baseball, not even excepting the Athletics and Tigers, is John Kings Boston club.
 An effort will probably be made to teach the art of first passing to Jay Kirke. d wonderful hitter. kirke has never shown big league class in any fielding position. but his remark able ability to sting the ball covers a multitude of defensive sins.
 With Kirke at first base, or at third. where he will be placed if il is de-
 cided to retain Ben Houser Boston will have d murdcrous bunch of sluggers. five of the seven infielders
 and outfielders hitting over 800. Kirke played second base in the Southern league last year, but isn't i likely 10 be put there at Boston in preference to Bill Sweeny, who sud-
 denly became a great ball player
 when his position was shifted last spring
 | George Jackson. another Southern | lcaguer. looked like d coming star in
 the closing games of last season. He | is another sluGger and is almost sure | To win regular home in left field.
 The Boston outfield isn't the best
 in the world in fielding. but it doesn't ,thavc 10 be with it's batting strength. I Sweeny and BridweI form a classy I combination at short and second. and if the other two places can be filled satisfactorily Boston will be able to ! back up its pitching respectfully. T Given three hurlcrs who could hold ] trc opponents to an average of three or four runs game, King would lhave d club which might surprise the world As it is, Boston must murder the ball to win, and Kirk and Jackson are two recruits who are expected to be found guilty of murder in the first degree
 It doesn't look as if New York Pittsburg. St Louis and Brooklyn ] would show increased strength. New liYork may be good enough to repeat it's triumph without the addition oi young stars.
 Pittsburg is still classy enough fol the first division, and Bresnahan an' ! ! Huggins make the Cardinals fiGh lhard enough to keep out of last place { | Brooklyn seems to be without hope { land the saddest figure in the Dodge z squad is Nap Fucker
