PROPER BREATHING.
Il Plays . Large Part In the Promo.
ton Of Good Health.

Proper breathing Ii one OF the great
big factors In promoting and retaining
good health.
1t IL no great humber of Yeas since
the subject OF deep breathing has en-
gagged not only the attention OF physi-
clans. but trainers OF athletes and the
public generally. Recent authorities
give special emphasis to the efficacy OF
deep breathing for ESTIMATES and for
children and young adults who are pre-
disposed to tuberculosis.
Professor Arnold Hitler In the Ber-
lin Clinical Weekly notes that 1t In
creases the passage Of blood through
the liver; that 1t increases the secre-
ton and excretion Of bile: that the
stomach when filled with food may
likewise be favorably Influenced be-
cause the movement Of the stomach
contents through the pyloris Is facil'-
tated.
deep breathing" says the New
York Medical Record. rs the most SCI
cntiHc resource for the prevention OF
uric acid disease. One must begin
with diaphragmatic breathing. which
naturally precedes rib breathing. The
inspiratory movements are now slowly
Increased until all the muscles involved
In rib breathing gradually participate.
One begins with three daily periods OF
fifteen or twenty minutes each. The
position of the breather Is immaterial
He may do his forced breathing while
standing or walking,
"In some individuals q very deep
breath appears to arrest the pulse he.

clavian. artery: hence inspiration

EXPENSIVE FISHING.
Why the Angler Dressed in oilskins

An ardent fisherman was President

angling for the fish TINT would not

he was addressed by an angler CARRIED
in the height Of piscatOrial fashion
with:
Hello. boatmnn! You've certainly
got a good catch. What will you take
for the fish,
I'm not selling them" replied the
man In ollsklns.
WELL" continued the persistent an
gler, what do you want to take me out
fishing tomorrow"
Mr.. Cleveland. who was plainly en-
Ioying the joke. replied: Il can't make
nny engagement except by the season.
VIII you give me as much as ! made

You're a sharp fellow" replied the
angler. but a good fisherman. and I'll

HOW MODERN SHIPS SINK.
Tirss When Water Tight eulkhsads
Are q Menace to Life.

NEo TVOUASO ~ S'Ss
Nearly every class or design Of vessel
sinks In . particular way. For In
stance. the old type Of single bottom
steamer. with few or no bulkheads-
that is. In the modern sense OF the
term-almost Invariably founders on
more or less OF an even keel. which
means that 1t sinks level and not with
Its bow or stern up in the mir.
This Is accounted for by the fact that
at whatever point the water may Gu.
ter 1t practically finds Its own level. as
there are no subdivisions to obstruct 1t.
Now. In the case Of modern yes
sci, which IL built with numerous sub
divisions. It invariably happens that
she founders with her bow or stern
high out OF the water. or else she sinks
with q heavy list. or cant. to one side
or the other. The reason for this Is
that the bulkhcads prevent the water
which enters the vessel from finding
Its level Consequently when one par
ticular portion of the ship Ii full Of wa.
ter, while the remainder Is practically
water tight. that part which is water
laden sinks first. owing to It's greater
weight.
1t IL for this reason that such terri,
BILE loss OF life frequently occurs In
modern shIpwrecks. Owing to the un-
even sinking 1t Is often found impossi.
bic to lower the majority Of the life
boats. as they would fail to reach the
water.-London Answers.

SOWING MINES IN THE SEA.
How These Ship .Destroysrs Are Laid
and Anchored.

How Those ship .Destroyers Are LAID
and Anchored.
Mine laying and mine sweeping are
two important subordinate functions
In a modern navy. and both of these
occupations nrc frausht with danger
to those engaged In them.
A mine Is really Ii :netal globe con
tanning anything from 200 pounds to
200 pounds Of trinitrotolucne. or
+. n. r.. an extremely powerful high
explosive, calculated 10 make things
very unpleasant for any ship that runs
against one OF the little horns on top
NJ the mine.
Before the mine is put into the sea
the globe squnts. MS one might say.
between four metal uprights upon Il
round. fat weight. to which 1t Is ut
tnclIed by a short length OF wire cope.
the greater part OF which Is cOiled
round a drum inside the weight.
When the mine is put into the water
the whole contrivance sinks mt once
to the bottom. As soon as 1t touches
ground the bump releases little
catch. which sets NIL sorts of wheels
revolving. with the result TINT the four
nprlghts fall outward. They grip the
sea bed, and the continuance Is an.
chored. Then the globe begins to rise.
while the rope unwinds until 1t has
reached fixed length.
Thereafter woe betidc the unfortu.

The last efforts of the designers in

two influences. One of them is the
adaptation of styles to silk fabrics-in-
Guiding several novel weaves-and the
other proclaimS the conservation of
wool, carried to it's limit, in suits of
cloth for ordinary street wear. The
result is a great difference in style
between suits of silk and suits of wool.
The wool suit must repress all ambi-
tons in the direction of embellish-
ments that use up cloth and must even
curtail the length of coats and width
of skirts But the suits made of silk
are under no such obligations. They
may be as ample and elaborate as the
designers ideas.
The maker of the little cloth suit
pictured has accepted the inevitable
gracefully and, it appears, has used
something less than the allotted four
yards of goods. But he has managed
to put lot of youthful style into it.

old Puritanical principles of right and

of the modern comedies which ranks
above the average for wholesome fun.

young woman tells asman to go to the
proverbial hot place in plain language,
the hostess cringed in her seat and
glanced sideways at her guest, expect.
ing to hear wrathful denunciation of
such language. But the remark of the
elderly woman of Puritanical traas-
tons was:. Il guess she told him
