There is many a sO-called pas
ture, where no pasture plants
have been able to grow in CON-
petition with weeds, briars and
bushers, which should hrve a lit
tie attention next month after
the corn and Gotten is planted.
The one pasture grass we have
that will make a sod, iprevent the
hillside from washing and fur
nish more feed than any in this
Southland is Bermuda. 1t can't
grow however if it is not put on
the land. and it can't grow in the
shade of weeds and bushes; but
if given a chance in the soil, by
the aid of our warm sunshine, it
will hold the land and furnish
more grazing during the sum-
mer than anyother pasture plant.
Why not give it a good start in
the pasture this May. 1t is all a
mistake that it can't be kept out
of the cultivated fields if put in

Breathing exercises are beneficial
TO persons who get little exercise,
but it is not best to take them early
in the morning. After six or eight
hours Of sleep the circulation and
body activities are slow. 1t takes
two or three hours at least for the
body to regain its normal rate Of
action. Now. if person spends ten
minutes in breathing exercises he is
giving his system that much more

rkesSOh . window.
Il n not sstiI the question y
asked why is sIsss transparcntY
that We find ourselves suddenly re-
slizing how difficult this simple mat
ter 10. We take 1t for granted that
light will pass through gis~s and
that. for example, it will not pas.
through wood. Yet certain light.
such ~ the X ray light, for instance,
will pass through wood and will not
pass through glass. A pair of heavy
lead glass spcctaclcs transparent
enough to allow the wearcr to read
with ease will absolutely blot on,
the light of a powerful X ray tube.
which possesses the power of pass-
ing readily through a score Of sub
stances not transparent to ordi-
nary light. Now, supposing the
out Of doors were lighted by an
\ ray apparatus instead Of the sun,
the walls Of a frame house would
trasmit the light and the windows
would be the only spot that would
be dark.
One Of the principal reasons why
We can see through a window is
that crystal structure has been pre-
vented in the making Of glass. The
materials of which glass are made,
such as sand and flint and potash,
are not transparent, and it Is only
by combining them in certain pro-
portions that the light passing con-
dition is produced II is this COM
bination that makes glass clear. II,
however, little bubbles Of air get in
the glass they break its clearness,
in the same way that bubbles Of gas
las in bubbling water) make it
difficult fox light to pass. The best
example Of this is white Of egg,
which is almost transparent, but
which can be beaten to q froth by
whipping, imprisoning air bubbles
80 that it becomes quite opaque to
the light The light falling upon
the unbeatcn white of egg finds
structure quite simple in character,
but after it is beaten the struc-
ture is a mass Of globular air bub-
bles, and these round bubbles divert
the light rays and will not let them
pass through.
Ordinary light pays very little re-
gard to the density of the substance
through which it is to pass. Thus
. heavy lead glass is more transpar-
ent than piece of oiled tissue pa
per, and by curious condition Of
things the oiled paper-though its
pores are clogged with the Oils
more translucent to light than is
the paper which is not oiled. The
reason of this is not unlike that OF
the glass. The power Of the flbers Of
the paper to scatter the rays Of
light is lessened by the more uni
form character of the oil, which
passes the beams through. Our
houses would be dark indeed but for
this ability Of glass to Get little
sunshine in" but there is yet great
deal to find out about the way the
light waves wrigglc their way un-
checked through the dense sub
stance of a window pane. - E1-
