INCREASE OF LUNG CAPACITY
Experiments Have Proved That Sys-
tematic Exercise Will Do Much
Toward That Purpose.

According to careful tests made in
a gymnasium in Bonn, the capacity
Of the lungs was increased by regu-
lar exercise from 1888 cubic cent?
meters or 2O7 cubic inches to 3,S08
cubic centimeters or 232 cubic inch
es; an increase of 1914 per cent. In
Stuttgart the average increase was
found to be from 1888 cubic cent?
meters or 233 cubic inches to 1920
cubic centimeters or 262 cubic inch-
es, being 11.49 per cent. Among the
members Of the Berlincr Ruder Yer
Elm Berlin Rowing club) the in
crease for the heavy crew was from
5000 cubic centimeters or 342 cubic
inches to 5,775 cubic centimeters or
352 cubic inches (3.12 per cent. /;
for the light crew from 4,700 cubic
centimeters or 287 cubic inches to

EVEN THE FISH WENT AWAY
Barren Country Disguised the Farmer
Before He Learned Scientific
Farming Methods.

Henry Wallace Of Des Moines,
president Of the National Conserva-
ton congress, was talking to a re-
porter about scientific farming.
ave don't farm scientifically
enough" he said. MANY a barren
tract could be made, by scientific
methods, to blossom like the rose. I
know a farmer whose land is today
a miracle Of fertility, thanks to sci
ence, and yet, before he adopted
modern ideas, this farmer would
have given his farm away.
"To him, in the old days, a city
man once said:
"'Why is it that nobody fishes the
river that runs through your place ?"
CANT no fish, the farmer grunt-
cd.
"'Why are there no fish in such a
fine, large river?' said the city man.
Stranger the farmer answered.
if you could git out O. this thin
s'iled and barren country as easy as
a fish kin, do We reckon ye'd stay p "

DIAMOND BITS ARE COSTLY
Fair Value for the Eight Needed in
Drilling !" . sssk is bout

A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. Its value.
however, will undergo fluctuations,
dependent upon the price Of the dia-
monds. Perhaps $500 is fair value
for bit. The diamond used is ex-
ccedingly hard-harder than those
usually used as jewelry. Their carat
price is considerable, averaging, say,
at $50 carat. The diamonds used
will weigh from one to two carats, so
that eight have value ranging from
$3.50 to $3.50, on the average. The
loss Of bit means so many dia-
monds gone and may lead to diff
Guilty with the hole. The diamond is
not tough, but brittle. 1t will with
stand heavy pressure if applied even
ly and without shock. 1t can read
lily be seen that drilling through
seamy rock may become quite unfa-
vorable. If there is much quartz
present the abrasion may become ex-
.cessive. Under ordinary conditions,
however, the wear on the diamonds,
while considerable, is by no means
|prohibitive. Magazine.

EDITOR WAS AFTER MONEY
Thought He Saw More In Sight Than
Could Be Made Through the
Profits Of An Ad.

While in a small town in Indiana
few years ago Booth Harrington
had the misfortune to lose two val
liable bird dogs. Thinking to ex-
pedite their return, he went at once
to the office of the one newspaper in
the town, where upon his inquiring
for the editor he was informed by
the sleepy, tousle-headed Office boy
that the editor was out. He then left
with the boy description of his pets
with an alluring offer of $50 for
their return, and after giving ex-
plicit instructions as to the position
he wished the cad" to occupy, he de-
parted.
Anxious to know whether the Office
boy had impressed the editor with
the seriousness of the matter, he re-
turned to the office few hours later
and was again greeted by the boy,
who, the only occupant Of the room,
was perched on a stove dreamily
gazing out the window.
"Where's the editor ?" asked Tark-
ington.
The boy leaned over and spat out
the window, then slowly turned to
the author.
"He's gone out tub hunt de dogs"
he said.-Cosmopolitan.

PENR0SE IS ALWAYS GENIAL
CheerfuIness Of the Pennsylvania Sen
ator Cures One Philadelphia Man
Of Complaining Habit.

The newspaper men are not the
only ones who know the invariable
geniality of Boise Penrose; his most
casual acquaintance soon come to
recognize this trait in the Pennsyl-
vania senator's makeup, and one
of them, Philadelphia commission
merchant, is now telling of mod
ern instance of it.
81 didn't realize how I'd fallen
into the habit of complaining" is
the way he puts it, ''till l met Pen
rose at the Manufacturer club the
other evening. How are you?' he
asked, pleasantly, and l was silly ass
enough to tell him I had suffered
fearfully from the heat, and had lost
sleep, and then had had a siege with
the dentist over a couple of old
snags, and that very day had
wrenched my knee badly and was
limping even then. And what do
you think he said? That same nice
smile never wavcred as he remarked:
well, aside from those little things,
l hope you're all right
81 tell you I've quit kicking"

THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM.

Capt. Joe Fowler, now dead, was a
famous southern steamboat man OF
the old days. One afternoon, after
he had reached the age of retirement,
he was sitting on the wharf Of a
Tennessee river town when a boat
landed and northern woman came
ashore, carrying in her arms the first
Mexican hairless dog that Cap'n Joe
had ever seen.
As the lady approached him he
rose and made low bow.
81 beg your pardon, madam" he
said, ''but is that your dog?"
at is" she said.
els that the only dog you've got?''
"Tt is"
MADAM" said Cap'n Joe, "ain't
you mighty near out Of dog?"-Sat-

BRINE WELL MAKES TROUBLE.

About mile west of Carriers, on
the west bank of Onondaga creek, a

in diameter, and is within fifty feet
