the lungs md the circulation, thus
not leaving the subject susceptible
to pneumonia.
1t is also claimed that this device
is suitable for persons Of all ages
and correSpondingly varying lung
capacities 1t is equipped with ad'
justments for supplying the different
air volume Of the newborn, 5, 10
and 15-yearold children and small,
average and large adults.
The lung-motor consists Of two
alr.pumps connected to a common
handle. The construction is such,
however, that there is no inter
change of air between the pumps, SO
that at no time does the devitalized
air come into contact with the fresh
air or oxygen.
The operation Of the device is very
simple. An upward movement of the
handle fills the pressure cylinder
with air or oXygen-the latter if
the small self-contained oxygen gen
orator, which is n part of the ma
chine is employed-or a mixture of
both. according to the setting Of the
air and oxygen valve, At the same
time the suction cylinder is filled
with the expired air drawn from the
lungs of the patient The downward
movement of the handle and piston
forces the air, now contained in the
pressure cylinder, into the lungs Of
the subject and discharges into the
open the expired air Of the suction
CyIipder.

TIME frozen and dried egg indus
try, declares a new publication
L of the department of agricul'
lure, is permanent one because II
meets distinct economic need
MANY eggs which could not stand
long shipments may be preserved as
wholesome food by freezing them out
of the shell or by drying. In the be-
ginning, however, there was a natural
popular prejudice against the bust
ness, which was increased by the ig,
norance and carelesness of some OF
the pioneers. 1t was under these con
ditions that the department Of agri'
culture undertook 4 study of the
problem in order to lay the ground,
work for scientific preparation OF
an extremely pershable product
Some of the results of this study
have been published In a bulletin.
The eggs commonly used for break
ing are small or undcrsized eggs and
dirty, cracked, or shunken eggs. To
the trade these are known as sec
onds.' They are not to be confused
with eggs that are unfit for human
use, such as the classes known as
binck, white, mixed and sour rots,
green whites, eggs with stuck yolks.

w make '' shaving s ca: p The
many answers to this ques-
ton from scientists and from laymen
are equally interesting, Here is one
explanation given by writer in one
of the scientific magazines:
when a barber applies Il heavy
coat of lather to long beard the
lather tends to hold the hair upright.
In the first shaving the microscope
shows that the cuttings are nearly
at a right angle to the length of the
beard, but the second time over
when the call is for a close shave
short, rapid strokes are made, sew.
eral times repeated. When the lather
is off the barber will occasionally wet
his fingers, because the face gets too
dry. Indeed, there is nothing to main
tain the perpendiCularity of the
beard. 1t bends over and the barber
rapidly whacks away at it like the
bushman grubbing bushes. The

WhyYou LATHER Before SHAVING

following is the explanation of an
other writer who says that Iather-
ing is a roundabout way of lubricat-
ing the face with water:
Gathering has the effect, when
properly done, of reducing the bulk
of the soap and increasing the mum.
Der of bubbles whereby water is kept
in close opposition to the skin by the
surface tension.
This is a roundabout way of using
water as a lubricant for the efficient
and easy passage of the razor across
the skin, but once the lubricating
qualities of water are recognized as
of value in such circumstances it is
but short step to applying the
water direct and shaving while the
skin is well soused
This is the method long In use
by the orientals, and is one that can
be thoroughly recommended for trial.
Apart from It's economy the skin
is not so liable to Irritation, the edge
of the razor is not so easily dulled,
while the whole operation is com,
pleted in half the time"

it will also prevent the waste of a

How SCIENCES Mechanical and Manual MEANS PREVENT Needless LOSS Of LIFE

Besides drowning, suffocatlon by
gas is a very common accident. AS
in cases Of drowning, first aid to the
gas victim consists Of instant and
efficient means of producing arti'
fetal respiration by the manual or
mechanical methods described.
In cases Of poisoning by gas, a
high percentage Of oxygen in the air
inhaled by the victim is more i'm
portant than the extent TO which the
lungs are filed or emptied by me-
chanical means. Gas poisons by COM
blning with the red coloring matter
of the blood and thus preventing the
blood from carrying the necessary
amount Of life-saving oxygen to the
tissues Of the body A victim OF gas
poisoning can be revived If the gas
that his blood has absorbed can be
replaced by oxygen.
AS ordinary air is only about one
fifth oxygen, the blood can absorb
five times as much oxygen when
man breathes pure oxygen as when
he breathes ordinary air. For this
reason oxygen, if obtainable, should
be given in the manner already
stated: that is, by a breathing bag
properly connected to a source OF
supply and a face mask having suit
able valves. In case a man cannot
breathe, the Scbaeffer or Sylvester
method of artificial respiration
should be used to cause the oxygen
to enter the lungs.

N army,s efficiency is measured

A Narmy's efficiency is measured
~ by the soundness of its teeth.
The teeth of men OF today are
not nearly so good as were those Of
the men who fought two or three
generations ago. according to an
authority on the science Of den
tistry who points out that the soldiers
of the Peninsula and Waterloo never
seemed to have been troubled with
bad teeth-a fact probably due to the
class from which they were drawn.
1T is a mere commonplace" says
this writer, that countrymen have
better teeth than dwellers in towns,
and young men than the midde-aged,
and the rank and file Of armies in
that far-off time were peasants in the
prime of life. That is to say, they
were brought up from infancy on
abundance OF milk, a sufficiency Of
homemade bread, and very little
meat, while tea and sugar were IN
their day Injuries reserved for the
wellto.do. Hence Wellington's sol
diers, for instance. were able to mas
ticate the tough meat, either fresh
ly killed or sailed and always very
imperfectly cooked, and the stone
hard army biscuits served out to
them, with no trouble to themselves
and possibly-although the point is
by no means well setued-with great
advantage to their dentition.
Nov, however, things are entirely
altered. Used from the shedding of
our milk teeth to meat every day and
diet in which sugar plays a promi,
nent part, few OF rs get to the age of
40 without losing several teeth Of the
second crop, while those that are left
require constant attention from a
skilled practitioner in the shape Of
filing and so on, If their decay Is
to be arrested, and they are to prove
useful servants u US in our old age.
AIeu who are a long way under 10
are, therefore, frequently refused ad,
mission to the army on the ground Of
defective teeth; and even with those
who are accepted constant care by
a skilled dentist is found to be neces.
sary IL they are to remain effective.
