REPORTS UPON
AIR We BREATHE
Old Theories Shattered by
Research by Noted
Physician.

Under ordinary conditions of breath
ing some of the expired air must be
drawn back into the lungs. says the
Journal of American Medical Asso-
citation. A few experiments to deter
mine the proportion of the breath
that is relnspired have been made
during the last fifteen years, but no
really thorough study of the ques-
ton was carried out until the recent
work of Crowder. This investigator
has studied by ingenious methods the
effect OF change OF position, body mo-
ton, different types of breathing and
different temperatures, and in addi-
ton has determined the conditions
that obtain on the sleeping porch and
in the open air.
His conclusions are that % a per-
| son remaining quiet indoors will i'm
mediately rebreath from ] to 2 per
cent. of his own expired air; (2) when
| lying in bed the percentage is higher
rising to from 4 to 10 per cent, de-
pending upon the position assumed
while sleeping. Nor does sleeping
in the open air insure pure air fol
breathing. The same influences here
produce the same relative results that
they do inside. When one buries his
head between pillows and bedclothes
for the sake of warmth, Transportation
is inevitable, and 1t is not necessarily
small in amount"
The Significance of this study in
connection with questions of ventila-
ton is obvious. Since even under the
most favorable conditions we cannot
avoid drawing back into the lungs
some of the air which has just passed
out of them, not much Importance
can be attached to the slight varia.
tons in carbonic acid gas which oc
cur in the air of rooms. A little deeper
breathing seems to be the utmos
physiologic effect that could b,
caused.
These experiments also furnish ad
ditional evidence against the theor.
that efficient ventilation consists il
the chemical purity of the air, in it
freedom from "a toxic organic sub
stance" Even We're a poisonous sub
stance present in the expired air;
fact no experiment has yet been abb
to demonstrate-the human body un

inhalation of this hypothetic sub

LONDON. Jan. 31.-There is talk OF
appeal from the verdict of man

which recently tried John Jasper for
the murder of Edwin brood. The
more serious-minded members of the

hope Of ending the controversy over
Dickens's unfinished novel. in which
Jasper and brood were the chief
characters, are disgruntled because
the trial developed into such farce

preciate the humor which G.. K. Ches-

Shaw, as foreman of the jury. tried
to inject. and the convicted defend
ant, whose part was taken seriously
by F. T. Harry, asserts that there
are ample grounds for an appeal, II
for no other reason than that the
verdict was solely the decision Of
Foreman Shaw. arrived at during
the luncheo interval" nearly three
hours before the end of the trial, as
the foreman himself admitted. Most
of the jurors had left before the trial
ended
Walter Crotch. one of the counsel
for the defense, is even more severe
with Shaw. He declares that the
verdict was "typically Shavian and
therefore typically farcical and I'M
satisfactory. It also had the more
fragrant defect of being absolutely
untrue for the jurors were not con-
suited as to its terms"
A record in state pensions is estab-

having been approached only by c..
P. Villiers, who established the former
record of s15O000 at his death in
1898.
There are now only three former
ministers drawing pensions: Lord
George Hamilton, who receives S10,-
a year; Henry Chaplain. whose pen
sion is $4,000 yearly and Lord Bal
