AREA OF THE LUNGS.
Nature Has Given Us a Very Likerai
 Margin of Safety.


 Psychologists have long observed that many of the organs necessary to life have much larger capacity than is really necessary. It is generally agreed, for instance. that under ordinary con ditions one kidney would serve every purpose. although we are supplied with two As the same is true of other glands the conclusion is irresistible that nature, in providing for the vari- ous functions upon which our exist ence depends. nus left very liberal margin of safety. This is especially true of the lungs.
 In cases of pneumonia the functions of one lung have been entirely sus- pended for a time, but life has per sisted, as it has in those instances where tuberculosis has very materially curtaiIed breathing capacity. Such cases have led to experiments in art- fcially lesSeuing lung areas for time in order to discover. if possible, what the margin of safety really is.
 By introducing inert nitrogen gas into the chest or the SuOJeCt an arun- cial pneumuthorax is formed which may be varied at will. causing core spending variations in lung capacity. By this means Courmont finds that persons who submit themselves to his investigations get along very well with a quarter of the usual lung capacity. Similar experiments in a Paris hos pital show that patients deprived of tive-sixths of their breathing capacity suffer very little inconvenience and ex- hibit no symptoms of the lack of a proper amount of oxygen.
 The conclusion is that if one can live with one-sixth of his lung power he ought to do very well indeed with a single lung.-Boston Herald.

Paris, March "A 5oycot against using programs in th theaters has been proposed here on account of the steadily increasing price of booklets, which sell anywhere from eight to forty cents, motion pict- ure theaters selling them for six. It is contended that the programs are so bulky from paid advertise ments that the spectator, after paying twenty cents for the informa- tion is put to great pains to find out whl' he seeks.

Lights of Mars.

It is claimed that curious lights have been seen on Mars and have been be- lieved to be signal lights sent by the inhabitants of that distant world. This phenomenon can be easily explained as follows: The prevailing color of Mars is opal. When seen by daylight there is a mingling of this color with pearl white. rose saffron, and robins egg blue. When the suns rays stream along its surface Ut certain angles flashes of curious light are pro- duced that resemble somewhat the color rays of faSh;ight. These have, doubtless. been mistaken by the curl ous for tlashlight signals. They are nothing new.-Chritsian Herald

Congressman Johnson Asserts Wick ersham Requested Him Introduce
 Bill suspendino Assessment Work

JUNEAU, Oct. 1.-Congressman Albert Johnson, of Washington, who introduced the bill in congress which aimed to suspend all assessment work on claims in Alaska because of the present financial unrest caused by the war in Europe, today wired to John w. Troy, the editor of the Juneau Empire, that he had introduced the bill at the request of Delegate Wick ersham; that the measure was writ ten by Delegate Wickersham and fathered by him, but in making the request the Alaska delegate insisted that if the bill were introduced by a member of the Washington delega- tion it would give it more weight than if coming from a delegate with out a vote in the House.
 Congressman Johnson has wired the delegate and requests him to ac- knowledge the authorship.
 The objection to the bill is that the Alaskans have already done their assessment work and the bill Is drawn in the interests of the nonresident owners and the big placer ground owners. It is also proven that the delegate owns hundreds of acres of placer land in the Fourth division up on which no assessment work has been done

Invention Would Add Much to Their

 Germans are delighted over the lat. est achievement of Count Zeppelin fin perfecting an invention which makes his airships practically noiseless in the sky.
 Berliners had an opportunity of ob- serving the effect of the invention when the new army Zeppelin No. 2o ctuised over Berlin with hardly audi ble evidence of its proximity.
 The passenger Zeppelin Hansa, which also sailed over Berlin. gave tho usual sound of its approach when miles away through the rumble of ita engines and propellers.
 All this is done away with in the latest army and navy Zeppelins, which as the papers proclaim, will henceforth be able to sail through misty or foggy skies without giving warning to an enemy that "Dreadnoughts of the air are coming.

German Bankers Prepared for War.
 NEW YORK, Oct. l. The Ger man bankers knew of the coming of the European war several months be- fore the outbreak, according to mail advices received in this city today from Germany. The bankers with drew all the gold possible from the London and Paris banks month before the first shot was fired. It Is also stated that the Germans devel- oped their commerce with the money of other nations and that the foreign fnanciers who have loaned money to German enterprises will prevent the disintegration of the German empire in the event of victory for the allies. The German bankers seem to fear that the outcome will be against the Germans because of the heavy odds arrayed with the allies against the Germans.

pioneer piano man of Arizona. MT. Behr says he shipped his first piano to Phoenix just about 32 years ago, and he remembers of having some little difficulty on the routing of same be- cause Maricopa was not on all the time tables at that time and the change point for Phoenix was thought to be Gila Bend. MT. Behr estimates that there are over 1900 Behr pianos in Arizona, and according to "The Firm That Made Arizona MusicaP every one of them is in first-class playing condi- ton.
 The building activity of the city and the paved streets commanded most of MT. Behr's attention and he stated that Phoenix is the livest small city he has passed through on this trip. Of course he thought he would find good hunting and green alfalfa fields nearer the cor ner of Center and Washington streets, but he probably will pass these disap- pOintments up contentedly in view of an order for a carload of Behr Bros pianos from his old agents, the Rede- will Music Co
