FOE TO
 TUBERCUL 0SIS

The dread White Plague, tubercu- losis, which, it is said, is allowed to go to greater length unchecked and to cost more lives in China than in any quarter of the globe, has found a powerful foe in the growing pop sports.
 Not that John Ch9naman bids fair within the next couple of years to become the same enthusiastic football or baseball fan as his more energetic Occidental brother, nor has the Ce- lestial Empire yet produced her Christy Mathewson. But American athletics which, when first introduce ed in the missionary schools met with tremendous opposition, have prosper ed to the extent that frequent con- ! tests are carried on between the vari- ous Christian educational institutions And what is regarded as a most hope- fuI sign by medical men and physi- cal instructors, the students are gradually becoming alarmed over the spread of tuberculosis and are slowly but surely learning those things which will improve them phy- sically.
 A recent physical examination of thirty eight Chinese students at Chengtu University for men, revealed that barely one was using more than the upper lobes of the lung. The greatest chest expansion was one inch Yet these men were by no means from the poorest classes of the pop ulation
 The cause of this condition is of course to be found in the poor living conditions that are to be found the length and breadth of the country. Whole families sleep in one room with no means of ventilation, nor have the Chinese the slightest conception of sanitary precautions.

INITIATES FROM AIR

When Thomas Edison was asked recently what he considered the great est inventions since the electric lights, he mentioned first wireless telegraphy and second the American process for making nitrogen from the air. Be fore the war we depended upon Ger many for our supply of nitrogen, and especially for the fertilizers which made our farms so productive. The Germans had deposits which they only need dig out of the ground to sell at enormous prices. Today there are great plants in the South where the air is put under pressure and frozen to a liquid form from which in turn the nitrogen is extracted. The sup ply is of course absolutely limitless By harnessing water falls to these plants the work is done very cheapy

THE LONGEST TUNNEL.


 The longest and largest tunnel in the world will probably soon be built under the Hudson River to connect New Forthwith New Jersey. There are several tunnels large enough for a railroad train but the new tube under the river is to be large enough to all low two or three large teams or auto mobiles to run abreast. The tunnel will be much more than a mile in length and 30 feet or more in diame- ter It is estimated that 6,046 ve- hicles can pass in both directions every hour in such tunnel, which is more than twice as many as pass up and down Fifth Avenue, probably the busiest street today in the world. The great problem of the tunnel is to pro- vide ventilation, since the tube will be $500 feet long between the ventilat- ing shafts. Fresh air will be forced in and the bad air allowed to escape by an elaborate system of pipes.
