pEOPLE who practice deep breath
ing and learn to breathe properly
are not nearly so liable TO throat and
chest troubles as those who have never
studied the art Of deep breathing
The reason is this: Each breath
drawn in brings a supply of oxygen TO
replensh and purify the impure blood
il the lungs. and each breath eXhaled
is laden with the poison Il has taken
from the blood in exchange for the
oxygen
So that person who breathes short.
half hearted breaths never takes in
enough oxygen to reach down TO the
bottom of the lungs and purify them
or breathes out sufficiently to empty
them to the bottom. SO that a certain
amount of poison is left behind at
every breath.
Deep, regular breathing empties and
replenishes the lungs and keeps them
clean and healthy.
Deep breathing. too. is good as a
beauty culture. The exercise of TAX
ing deep breaths with a weight bal
anCed on the head strengthens the
muscles of the head and neck and gives
one "A really good carriage and an ad-
mirable poise OF the head.
This exercise may be varied by
walking up and down for ten minutes
or so with the arms folded behind the
back and the weight still balanced up
on the head

eve He took the same ropes that Copperhead
had prepaid for him, bound Copperhead

then he carried and drug the bad man away

the air from becoming this dense, and that
is if it was cold enough it would liquefy.
However, it is almost impossible is in fact
Impossible anything at the bottom of
the sea to be colder than four degrees cent?
grade; for if it got oder the water around
it would become colder and larger, and con-
sequently lighter, and rise, and its place
would be taken by four-degree water which
would bring the object to that temperature.
So we have no argument against the sug
gestion; for the temperature at or below
which air liqucties is between one hundred
and two hundred degrees below zero cent?
grade.
ANOTHER interesting consideration along
"A this line is why a sailor drowned in deep
water rises after a time; but a stone thrown
in sinks and never rises. The body OF the
sailor is subject to decomposition, which
causes gases to form and the body to swell
If the body swells, we have the same weight
taking up a larger volume consequently the
BODY is lighter per unit volume than before
and 50 rises in water.
Now let's see what happens to the stone
Some people seem to think that a stone
thrown into the sea can sink only to a certain
depth and is there held suspended on ac
count of the pressure of water. A body i'm
mersed in fluid is buoyed up only by the
weight of the fluid displaced. We have
found that water is practically incompress-
ible; so if the stone displaces cubic foot of
water, that water weighs the same or prac-
tically SO at the top or at the bottom of the
sea SO the stone would be buoved up only
by that constant force, and would be carried
down by its weight Thus the difference in
the forces would be always downward. and
the stone would sink to the bottom.
In fact, if the stone is at all cOmpressible,
the tendency is for it to get heavier per unit
volume as it goes down; for we have the
same weight in a smaller space. 1t will be
remembered that this is what happens to the
air if we take it in a rubber bag under the
surface of the sea. The volume gets less and
less, consequently weighing more and more
per unit volume, and dispacing less and less
water, and being buoyed up less and less, I'M
til at last place is reached where the air
weighs more volume for volume than does
the water, and it will not rise.
