WORK OP THE LUNGS. THE NECESSITY FOR PURE AIR AND PROPER BREATHING. Respirator? flymniullce Tend to Strengthen the Heeletinp Puree of Nature to Disease—Tbe Lesson of * the Blach Hole of Caleana. To my mind the part of the physical man npon which depends all the pos sibilities of mental resource Is that part which has relation to respiration and which for Its perfect work de pends upon the quality of the air we breathe, the quantity respired and the method thereof. The apparatus for respiration consists of the lungs, which are double, the one on the right side -.having three lobes, the other on the ? left, oply two. We must always bear . In tplnd, that nature Is generous In ber . provisos§, ..and she has given us so much, of lung tissue, that a large part can-be quickly exhausted and become , Inactive, yet life eiidure.fnr ,|ts legltl- .mate threescore years and tea nodus duties and activities continue, unhin dered by any conscious (gqk. ,Under the microscope the lung tissue, shows an Infinite number of tluy cells, nr ulti mate lobules. Some have estimated these at five or six hundred million, and, wonderful to relate, only with the first breath that -the Infant draws are 4*>tb luugs ever filled wjjb absolutely new air. All through life there la nec essarily what we call -a residual air, which may be of a greatsr ,or less amount, according to ,tbe .breathing habit of the Individual. |t;ls said that the extent of surface through - which the air breathed pastes la approximate- Jy about 1.300 square fe?t, and,tbe ex cretion from the dungs dally Is over two pounds of poisonous matter. In fact. It la .certain that at least one- Tbjcd of -the waste and poisonous mat ter caused by the activities of the organism, Ms growth, repair, decay, Is excreted through the lungs. Unfortunately, a great majority of mankind breathe very superficially, ■.using only part of this large area of Iwg tissue. Even If persons are out Of (doors, unless by wise activity, the £cep ,cdl.« ,pf (he lungs are not aerated fur the simple reason that very few men or .women know how to free the lungs property. Deft Weller states that "deep breathing not only ventilates the lungs and aids the circulation, but In many cases hi able to strengthen the muaclea-of she thorax, especially those about the upper part of the cheat.” And 1 bcllesc that we have a right-to expect from respiratory gymnastics .a real strengthening of the resisting (force of nature <te disease. Even If the luugs hare 'begun to break down, honest ef fort In thte direction wIM supplement medication. One of the methods erf correct breath ing Is to put icbe -hands lightly on the hips, fingers -backward; throw tbe shoulders well -back, hold (the chest up. chin In, and then Inhale slowly through the nooo as -long as possible. When .the lungs are filled, -retain tbe air until some discomfort la experienced, then, forming the Ups In the shape of a letter O, exhale as slowly and evenly as la consistent with comfort, making a alight blowing sound. Such an exer cise for five minutes, -clad only In one Carment or. better, with no garment at all. night and morning. In a well venti lated room, will do pary much la man, woman or child to develop the tang ca pacity. Improve tbs carriage of the body and enrich tbe quality of tbe blood, which depends upon the activity of the lungs for Its purification. It Is no wonder Shat so mnch cars has been given by nature to the appa ratus for the respiratory function, for we know perfectly well that man has lived as much as sixty days without foodi be has been forced to exist for some time without water; but. alaa. without air death must come In a brief ispacs of tlmel . , for Instance. In 1756. 146 persons were confined over night In a small apace not larger than 5.900 cable feet, with only two little windows on one side. Within an hour all broke ont In a profuse sweat They were tortured .with thirst and difficult breathing, and .In three and a half hours tbe majority (Were -delirious. Then wheu tbe morn- lug came forty-three only lived to tell the tala. Another extreme case was at the battle M Anaterllts. Three hun dred captured soldiers were confined In a amaU cellar, and within a few (hours all but forty were dead. Tbe season la self evident. Tba air was In- sufficient for tbe -demands of each In dividual, the poisonous exhalations from tbe body were thrown off through the luugs, and a moat agoahting death ensued. It behooves us, then, moat carefully to consider In arranging (hr tlie ventilation of homes, hotels, boa pltala aud Jails oot only that a proper quantity of pure air shall be allowed free circulation, bat also to bo watch ful leet this pure air shall bo vitiated by retained Impurities. A great many Investigations ha vs been made to ascertain tbs relation of ;*• »o disease, and perhaps tbe simple statement of the test that Tiasng ail industrial claaMa these are Schooi Departments The teacher must teach more, and know more; lie must be a living founi tain, not a stagnant pool He should not be a dealer in desiccated,second hand knowledge, a mere giver-out aud hearer ef lessons. That is the chief and humiliating difference be tween our secondary teachers and those abroad, who are mostly Doctors ol Philosophy, as they should be. If we could move many university pro fessors to the college, many college professors to the high school, many high school teachers to the grammar school, and some grammar school teachers, with at least a sprinkling of college graduates, into the kinder garten, it would do much. In the German and French school, the teach er is one who knows a great deal about bis subject and is nearer to ori ginal soucccs; who tells the great truths at the sciences almost like stories; and who does not affect the airs and methods of the university professor. Very many secondary leachers and masters and authorities. Here, most of our university peda gogy is a mere device for so infiuenu ing high school principals and teach ers as to correlate curricula, in order to corral in students, and little inter est i- taken in the grammar grades, and none in tbe kindergarten.—G.
