A PHANTOM POOL,

The Ozark mountains, which divide
Arkansas from Missouri, are wonder
1ul1y picturesque and one of their fea
lures, which has come to be known as
The Phantom Pool" is quite a curl
osity. Adventurous visitors have been
bringing back, from time to time. the
story OF the mysterious deception it
practices upon the human vision. but
there are always skeptics. Recently a
party of Nebraskans set out for the
place with the purpose of removing all
doubt. The rains had been very
heavy. and streams and ponds in the
mountains were everywhere overflow
ing their banks. All the conditions
were favorable to upsetting the claim
mat the pool was always empty. The
members of the group were overjoyed
upon looking down from an eminence

the first state to furnish her full quota

A BREATHING FAD OPPOSED.

A widely known physician remarks
that there is nearly as much nonsense
In the deep breathing fad" as there
is In food fads. Deep breathing really
is beneficial, but not in the way most
persons suppose.
The common notion, inculcated by
opponents of the big chest and red
blood gospel. is that the more air
you take into your lungs the more
oxygen YOU get into the blood. thereby
giving the blood a brighter red color
and increasing the health of the whole
physical organism. The function of
the lungs, of course, is to burn up
the impurities in the blood, and oxy-
gen is the chemical agent in that proc
ess. The impurities pass Off as car
bonic acid gas. But the fallacy, says
this physician, consists in the assump-
ton that the lungs can be made to do
more work.
AS matter of fact. he says the
lungs do their own chemical regulat-
ing. and use only as much oxygen
as they see fit, regardless Of what
their owner may do. One cannot in
crease the amount Of oxygen in the
blood or decrease the amount of car
bonic acid one bit by deep breathing"
The lungs always contain more oxy-
gen than they can use. even in the
shallowest breathing provided, of
course. the air is sufficiently pure.
The chief advantage in deep BREATH
ing is to help the circulation. The
pressure of air in lungs filled to their
capacity drives some OF the blood out
of the trunk into the limbs, and warns
the hands and feet if they are cold

Ing to the French ministry Of marine
France imported by land 100000
tons annually, while last year her
imports by land amounted to only T.
100000. Inasmuch as the total Of
imports In 1915 was 44,000,000 tons, the
proportion received by land Is very
small indeed. Inasmuch as France is
at present much less capable Of llv-
ing within itself than is England, by
reason of the necessity particularly to
import metals and coal, 1t may fairly
be said that France is even more de-
pendent upon maintaining her touch
with the sea than is England.
The French government is co-operat-
ing with England in every possible
way to increase the production of new
tonnage; but Frances contribution
must necessarily be small compared
to those Of England and the United
States.
The French minister Of marine said
that Great Britain would shortly have
to recall a part Of the 700 vessels
which she had lent to France. British
needs are increasing rapidly, and no
vessel will be recalled from the serv-
Ice Of an ally unless 1t is agreed be-
tween the two countries that 1t is
more necessary to England than to the
ally.
The British nation before the war
was importing 59,0OO,0O0 tons of goods
year, which fell to 100000 tons in
1915 and will be considerably further
reduced this year. Before the war
foodstuffs represented less than 25 per
cent of the imports In 1915 two-thlrds
of all imports consisted Of fOodstufs,
munitions Of war and the manufacture
of war supplies.
