Weedon Groeemith Proved It to Htnry Irving'a Satisfaction. In "From Studio to Stage" Weedon tJrcssmlth tells us of his Invitation to piny .incques Strop to Henry Irvlng's Hobert Macnlre.

"1 didn't tell him that I would hare played the part for nothing and have willingly given a premium to have done so (If I bnd had the premium). I positively received 10 a week to be In structed In the art of acting by the greatest actor of our time!

'What were you doing on tho staircase that made the audience laugh so much?" " 'Nothing.' I replied "'All right, my boy; do It again,' ho tlllsw ered " DEAD AIR IN THE LUNGS.

With ordinary hrcntbliig the lungs are not completely tlllisl with air. nor are I hey entirely emptied every time you exhale during natural respiration This leaves a quantity of dead air In the lungs, generally away down In the lower lobes This la called "residual" all. and after It stays there awhile and Ins nines foul nature casts about for some means to make you get rid of It The yawn Ik the thing, so nature mikes you yawn. You open your mouth In its fullest extent, throw li.nl, your head, strain with the tun k mils cles ol 1 1 ii- aw, and you can then feel your I ings move as :hcy lone out all the foul air and take In fresh In this manner are the lungs actually veutl aid Vawnlng also roMIIMM the air pits sages ill the mouth, throat and upper poftUM of the llcst leading to the lungs And again yawning is really an ii1 to hearing.
