WHEN A MAN LIES.
He Breathes Differently From When
He Tells the Truth.

When you are telling a lie you
breathe differently from when you are
telling the truth The difference was
discovered by means of some tests
made upon his students by Professor
Benussi of Graz.
He prepared cards bearing letters,
figures and diagrams and distributed
these among his pupils. These were
required to describe the cards correct
~, except in certain cases when the
cards were marked with a red star
and the students receiving them We're
required to describe them falsely. Each
student was watched carefully by his
fellows, who, ignorant of the nature
of the card. tried to judge from his
manner whether be was telling the
truth or not The watchers We're IN
able to judge with any certainty.
But before each man began his test
the time occupied in inspiration and
expiration was measured, and the
measurement was taken again imme-
diately after he finished. 1t was found
that the utterance of Il false statement
always increased and the utterance of
n true statement always diminished.
the Quotient obtained by dividing the
time of inspiration by the time of ex-
piration.
DR.. Anton Rose, commenting in Die
UmSchau on these results remarks
that the discovery furnishes a certain
criterion between truth and falsehood
For even a clever liar is likely to fail
in an attempt to escape detection by
breathing irregularly, Professor Be
nussi having discovered that men are
unable voluntarily to change their
respiration so as to affect the result.

NEW ENGLAND FARMS.

Stories of abandoned farms in New
England states are declared pure fic-
tion by Prof. Edward Wallace of the
Indiana college of agriculture. He To-
Gently completed tour of investigation
and found some interesting facts.
Some farm residences were found va
cant and some farms so worn out that
cultivation was hardly profitable, but
he found such land selling from $40
per acre up to $40, depending on how
well land was situated. Men who un-
derstand soil reconstruction are buying
the land and taking their chances on
increasing its productivity. When crops
fail, these new farmers do not blame
Providence or the weather, but look for
chemical conditions in the soil. If the
soil is lacking in elements necessary to
plant life, they correct conditions.
Lime, phosphates and various fertilizer
compounds are employed.
The same fight is being wagcd in
Ohio. The state board of administra-
ton has used many carloads of pull
verified lime this year on state farms,
putting the soil in condition for in
creased production. 1t is using pull
verified limestone from the peniteu-
tiary rock quarries near Columbus.
Analysis shows it ideal for soil better
ment. Worn out land has been fully

WORKING BOTH WAYS

1t is estimated that as a result Of
war in Europe, with its cessation Of
agriculture in large districts and the
withdrawal of millions of men from all
productive industry, the surplus wheat
crop of the United States Will bring a
dollar and half bushel The surplus
this year will be OO,0O0,OOO bushels.
and the wheat exports would rise in val
ne to the enormous sum of $50 600
600. As an offset, however, the Ameri-
can consumer will have to paw an in
creased price for his bread. The great
crop, under normal conditions, would
have been followed by lower prices. but
there is no hope of that now. But
while war raises the price of wheat. it
works just in the opposite direction on
cotton. The European mills CONSUME
large part of the American Cru9. and
war is likely to close the cotton mills
abroad because manufacturers will cur
tail operations to Il minimum. The cot
ton market has already been seriously
