One Of the principal operations in eathlnr U the action of the dla .ragm and the abdominal muscles, rites Dr, Lydla Allen De Vilbiss of ondon. The diaphragm Is a wide. at- shaped muscle which forms the loor of the chest cavity and separates I from the adbomlnal cavity. At rest he diaphragm is dome-shaped, with ti curve upward, thus decreasing the nounf Of space In the chest. In ln ylratlon the diaphragm acts similarly ) the sides of a bellows. When it ontraets it stretches flat across the ioor of the cheat. As it recedes it in reases the space in the thoracic chest) cavity. At the same time it lushes the abdominal organs ahead of t down and forward easily and out of i h cedes and the cavity of the chest is I jrtcreased air rushes into the air cells. f ths lurgs. I In pushing the abdominal organs downward the diaphragm is assisted by the relaxation of the abdominal mus cles." This permits the abdominal con sents to be pushed down and forward asily and out of the way of the de scending diaphragm. in. exnmiui; me prucefs is rtvtrmu. Jha abdominal muscles contract, pushing the abdominal organs against the-diaphragm. As the fibers of the SlapbraRm relax it assumes the dome vhane of the thoracic cavity. Thus it leoreases the size of this cavity and kctu&lly forces air out of the lungs. J ' The importance of diaphragmatic .breathing cannot bo overestimated, ac cording to scientists and vocal teach er.v It IS a fact that the only suc cessful singers are those who, by long practice, have developed the diaphragm to auoh a degree that it virtually does thalr breathing for them automatically. Their lungs are vigorous and It is rare that a singer ever develops any lung disease. i Xlapbragm breathing takes all the strain away from the chest cavity and allows a singer to use his throat with ease. .. .Many persons scarcely use the dia phragm at all In their breathing. Their lungs axe worked an a bellows, without calling on the abdominal muscles for help. Such breathing is rarely deep Often not deep enough to keep the en (tira lungs well supplied Birds That Glow. i ' We are told by some students of na ture that there Is a species of owl that has a phosphorescent glow In the .dark, and that it is a rare bird. There may be such a bird, but a careful investigation on the part of a number of persons who have made such things a careful study has re vealed. the fact that certain owls, and even bats and other creatures, that are kbown to roost In old hollow trees that ar In a certain stage of decay pro ducing that peculiar phosphorescent condition so often witnessed and com ing in contact with the matter that makes the glow, the feathers or outer coating of the creatures become satur ated with the luminous matter, and on damp nights gave forth a brilliant glow, such as is often seen in old stumps, decaying, logs and in some lo calities on ledges of limestone that protrude from the hillside. ' On a number of occasions persons nava been badly frightened by com ing suddenly upon a mass of what Is known as fox fire. It Is more fre quently seen during the summer months, during or shortly after a .shower. The brilliancy of the glow will depend much on the location, the temperature and sometimes much is due to the person's imagination. ; The writer recalls an interesting in cident when a friend was passing through a. thick piece of timber on his Way home after robbing a watermelon patch. lie was suddenly overtaken bya thunder storm and could not see Where he was golnrr save by the light- "2ilng He was hurrying to get through the timber, and while In his nervous excitement he came upon a eight that thrilled him with fear and awe. He said it looked like a pillar of fire. V He stood gazing at it In utter be wilderment. Suddenly there came an other brilliant flash of lightning, and he saw standing before him a tall nag or decayed trunk of a tree. The moment the glare of the electric flash was gone the glow returned, and he realized It was nothing but a very dis tinct specimen of that phosphorescent . glow so often witnessed. He deter mined to investigate it more closely and advanced near enough to touch the stump. To increase his alarm a huge .

He. lost no time in getting home. This same glow is often seen on small animals and a number of in sects. Tie glowworms are quite com mon in various sections of the world, and In some localities Insects have a brilliant glow coming from beneath their wings. The fireflies, or light ning bugs, are the mo-t common in the United States. Monkeys and Men. While man may go on making a mon key of himself there Is no chance for -any monkey to make a man of himself. This scientific deduction was pre-; sented to distinguished savants y Dr. William H. Furness HI after years of research among anthropoids. His observations were made in a paper read at the opening session of the American Philosophical society. Dr. Kurneea is the owner and biog rapher of Mimi, a remarkable chimpan zee that had the distinction of appear ing in the movies before the most se lect audience. Mimi entertained and Instructed the scientists with scenes from her daily life. She vregistered pleasure, thougiht, Joy and puzzlement in a striking manner. Dr. Furness has been five years try ing to teach an articulate language to Mimi, and at the end of this period her vocabulary comprises two words, "papa" and "cup." She can distinguish colors and hasa particular aptitude for picking out objects by their size and shape. Her owner believes that no ape can be taught an articulate language, but that these anthropoids have reason without association of ideas. They are governed largely by instinct, and litlte by reason, iho thinks. About Insanity. Until a few years ago insanity was seldom discussed In the presence of a person who worried lest he become insane. It was feared that a knowl edge of the mental disease would add to his anxiety and perhaps act as a stepping stone toward making him a victim. Hut all that has changed. Most alienists now believe that acquainting worried people with the real types of insanity tends less to apprehension than the vague and formless pictures of "madness" conjured by the igno rant. For that reason, say those who have gathered statistics In the matter, insanity is comparatively rare among alienists. Their very familiarity with disturb ances of the mental state help them to see themselves as others see them, and to keep their own faulty mental habits within bounds. Portlander's Invention. A great proportion of the factory and workshop accidents are due to the clothing of workmen being caught in the machinery, and the unfortunate per son is dragged into wheels because it is Impossible to break away from the iron grasp. A safety suit for a work- man which will enable him to pull him self free In case of such an accident has been recently devised by H. P. An drews of Portland. Instead of being I sewed together at the seams, this new suit Is held together by means of snap hooks. These answer all the demands for ordinary wear, but in case any por tion of the workman's clothing is caught In the machinery, the ordinary pressure which would be exerted in en deavoring to make his escape will en able him to pull that particular part of the garment free from the others thus allowing him to escape possible death or probable injury. Warmer for Pants. The latest Invention of war Is pants warmed by electricity. Two German professors invented it, Trofessor Max Beck of Innsbruck and Dr. Von Schrot ter of Vienna. The soldier puts on a pair of pants into which are woven extremely supple wires designed with a view to Insulation. Lach pair looks exactly like the ordinary trousers of the khaki uniform and can be con nected an 1 disconnected at will to bat teries. With each pair are a couple of connecting wires a hundred or more yards long which permit the wearer to walk about with some freedom. Sol diers in the trenches find these gar ments very comfortable during the winter, and it is suggested that aero planlsts will find In them much re lief from the chill air of the altitudes. Deadly Occupation. One of the most deadly callings, and one of which very little Is known, is that of the workers in champagne cel lars. The work, which is light and without any obvious elements of risk to health consists In turning over the bottles of champagne so that the wine may be clear and transparent and ab solutely free from sediment. The men who do this work spend 8 or 10 hours a day In the dark wine cellars, turning over bottles by the thousand. This monotonous duty they discharge day after day in semi-darkness, in a high temperature, unhealthy atmosphere and absolute solitude. These combined con ditions affect the nerves and health of the workers so seriously that few of them can continue at their posts until middle age. Clothes Rack. A clothes-drying rack designed for the use of travelers or persons living In rooms where the facilities for dry ing clothes are . inadequate or lacking has been recently invented by Edna A. Foster, a Boston woman. A tubular frame is shaped to fit over the window sill and to be held in shape there by pulling the Bash down upon it. The tubular shape houses a rack which col lapses for the purpose of storing It away as described, but when extended it affords accommodation for a number of small pieces such as a woman might wish to wash in the room rather than send them out where they might be ruined by severe Ifandling. New Zealand has an annual death rate of less than 1 per cent. Electricity . has been adapted to 48 different purposes about a household.

KeeleT. 0' M Ail A SLIM sat on the curb, his back against a friendly keg, his feet sprawled Into the street. It was twilight and a Sabbath day. The barrel houso 8aioon waa Bhut except. the side door. It was Officer Dough erty who chanced to note that Slim was asleep. Just why it is amisde- manrl- ,k , k tj ,. j i,, , capes me. He may Bit and lounge and loaf; but he must not sleep. So Dough erty hotfooted him smartly on the soles. The tingling feeling awoke him. He rolled the stretched. "Gee," yawned Slim. "I wuz dream in' it was 'lection day." "On your way," growled Dougherty, poking Slim's fat ribs with the butt of his club. "You'd dream if it was Judgment ,day." And the philosophical outcast could find no answer against the prodding of the club. So he slouched to his I Icet. lookf d hlearlv about him and dis- lcc,.neti entertainment coming his way. A little band of Salvationists was ap proaching. They stopped a few yards away. Slim joined the crowd of unre foi med. The bristling little leader of the band got up on a soap box. He stroked his mustache and, in a megphonic voice of monotonous crescendo, began: "Oh, brethren, be'thankful tonight that the light of salvation shines bright and clear through the blackness of the darkness. Praise be that in this city of scarlet vice, in this city of the iniquities of the flesh, in this city of hunted men and the hunters of men, in this city of wrecked lives and wretched unbelievers " "Glory, hallelujah: cried a private in the ranks. "For you all there is redemption by the blood of the lamb. Oh, I pray you tonight, come t'o the altar of salvation. If there Is one among you who re members the lessons at his dear old mother's knee. If there is one among you who is weary of groping in the treacherous darkness, come; come tonight." "Amen! Glory!" cried two of the non-commissioned officers. "Let us sing a hymn of sunshine," And they sang. The squad major stepped down and passed the tambo. A girl, a weather hardened, skinny follower, took the box stand. She raised hf,r eves on hi"'h a"d droll'11 the speeches she had learned so long ago and repeated so many times: "Oh, my fallen brothers, I pray you tonight to kneel and pray for mercy." "Amen!" cried her cohorts. "Ten years ago I was a sinful woman." "Glory, hallelujah!" cried Omaha Slim. "My sins have been washed away. My prayers have been heard. Come to the throne of salvation come come tonight!" "Glory be! Amen! Hallelujah!" chorused the ranks. The veteran pleader came down to earth. The little leader stepped in among the knot of uniformed workers I and singled out one a girl of some ining line 0. ne took her arm. She nair resisted; she hesitated.

"Say 'Uncle,' you little son-of-a- gun," babbled Slim. The girl, who had flushed at Slim's first rude salute, wavered and almost slipped at this second coarse inter polation. She looked helplessly for help at the corporal. "I can't," she appealed. "Tell the brothers and sisters Just how you came Into the light," said he. Resolutely she . started again. "Well, you see, I was I wasn't ex actly a good girl before these kind people took me away from where I was living. I never had no mother or no father. I wa living in a small town when I met a man and be brought me here. Then I found out EQMBLY he was a thief. Before I knew it he made a thief out of me." Bert's head shot up. He bad been preoccupied until this moment. He had "made" a watch In the crowd. At the word "thief" he looked up. No. it was not an alarm. But he had a feeling that another Impression had flickered in him with the saying of the word. What was it? "He made me help him in all eorts of queer work I mean things that weren't honest," stie continued. Bert knew now. It was the voice. The color flew to his cheeks. He al most lost his composure. But a pickpocket In a crowd on a street, with another man's watch ticking in his palm, must not lose his compos ure. So Bert tightened up and began gradually circling the crowd "stall ing" his way. "I don't know why I did 'it," he heard her say. "But he was the firs man, the only man that that that ever made me do wrong. I didn't know how wrong It was until after they arrested him and sent him to the cooler to jail. He's up there now." Bert pulled up his eyebrows, giv ing himself a moving picture of a man saying "Is that so?"

IO THE average American there is no connection between the Euro pean war and canaries. There seems to be no reason to link the sweet-voiced little home pet with the grim visage of the war, yet the canary exportation has been cut off from the Hartz mountains of Germany. No canaries have been brought into this country for more than a year, and the small number of American raised birds falls far short of the demand. With the advent of the oVd-fashioned parasol, hoop skirts and song bird of the 1830 period, as decreed by Dame Fashion, in addition to the import scarcity, the price of canaries has bounded up to the top-notch. To the American housewife falls the lot of keeping up the supply of home brlghteners. The big demand for cait aries can easily be met if she will take up this odd-time occupation. Nothing can be more interesting than to watch the growth of a setting of young can aries, and the amount of care neces sary to successfully raise these birds is indeed small. Only a Side XJne. It is interesting to know that the most successful canary breeders of the Hartz mountains are the people that carry on the raising of birds entirely as a side line. The tailors, shoemak ers, tradesmen and peasants all raise canaries during their spare moments. In proportion to th expense, there is quite a handsome profit in bird rais ing". To make a start requires little outlay. All that is necessary is an or dinary breeding cage and a pair of birds. To make a good selection o birds to start with is of great impor tance, and requires a certain amount of skill and knowledge, not usually In the repertoir of the beginner. The whole value of the future birds de pends greatly upon the quality of the voice, and at the very outset one should choose a reliable dealer and ex plain to him that the birds are desired for breeding purposes, and .with his aid make a selection that will insure good stock. Will rind Egg a Say. Tho birds should be placed in the breeding cage, and as soon as the lady bird shows a disposition to carry ma terial to build her nest, prepared nest ing should be scattered in the bottom of the cage, otherwise she will go the limit and pull out all the male bird's feathers to build the first bird bun galow. After a few flays, you may expect to find a small pale green egg in the nest, and each morning there wll". be another one, until four or five are laid. The eggs are nearly always laid before 10 o'clock In the morning, and, unlike other birds, the canary t.ets on the eggs after laying the first one. The first bird usually is hatched on the thirteenth day after the laying of the first egg, although at times It trill LIGHT" turning the corner.

"Aw, who's been fillln' you full o' this bunk?" he cried. "Listen to me, Pearlv. You're only a kid. This here religious stuff is a Joke to anyc-oay . who knows anything.

In Ills way he had been kind and brave. I "Yes. Bert, I did, said she with a little quiver.

I'll show you what a pal I am." Around the corner came the faint boom of a bass drum; the tinkle of a tarrbourine. The girl started as though something had pricked her.

IT HAS long been a puzzle to golfers why they play a better and more noons, after a hard morning's work in th off , than Sunday roorninK8 when they yare fn ot ..pJ. and feel strong enough to drive the dimpled little ball a mile or more. As a matter of fact, there is nothing extraordinary in this overnight change of form, and it is easily explained when one takes Into consideration the psychology of golf. Golf, as every one who plays It knows. Is a game of nerves under con- trol and relaxed muscles. It is a game f calm deliberation, mixed with skill. It Is played out In the open, under lrs menlal and it 'la unlike baseball, in that It re- quires very little physical energy. In fact, it is radically different from everv other outdoor snort in tlmt nno respect Coming back to that Saturday after noon form, it has a psychological ex planation. To begin with, Saturday In the busi ness district Is a day for winding up the affairs of the week, and perhaps more than any other day in the week its requirements tend to develop a nervous tension. A business man, with only a half day to do a day's work. naturally speeds up on Saturday. When he Is through, however, and is off for the golf club, he throws off his business cares for the week and the tense muscles relax and the weariness after a morning's effort turns Into, lan- g0ur When he addresses the ball he Is un consciously relaxed. He finds It easy to concentrate his mind on the game, but impossiblo to screw his muscles up to "the tense point he might on other days. The result is that he plays an easy, gentle game. His muscles automat ically time themselves to his brain and he overcomes the great tendency of every player to exert his strength in his desire to get a long drive. Strange as it may seem, the more easily a ball is driven the more ac curacy it will have and the more likely it will be to get a fair distanue down the course. From his Saturday afternoon game the golfer usually goes home tired, and after dinner goes to bed. He gets up Sunday morning feeling fit and strong, and imagines that he can wallop the ball over into the next county. It is with Jaunty ease that he waggles his club over the ball at the first tee, where a crowd is congregat ed. Then he takes a good, full swing at the little white sphere. The result almost invariably is the same, unless the player is a veteran. j He either tops the ball, causing it to . roll harmlessly a few yards, or slices it to the right or pulls it to the left. and he felt the prize slipping. "And it goes for you, too. These people knows you was crooked. They'll never forget it. Nobody never does. They're no better than what we are They're beggars we're crooks. Why rduv their w. m e Wa know ours We know ours Come on wlth me j u.8 where you belongs. Once a thief. , i ... , thief K a eood thief. ; t)nn't kim it for nennles I'll show j you doliar-ii.

It was the niost honorable proposal he had ever made or had ever known how to make. Pearl blushed as crimson nu a debutante cultured in a hothouse , mansion. ) "God!" she whispered.

The explanation of his great Satur--day form Is the explanation of his Sunday reversal with reverse. English, i of course. The plajwr is feeling his oats. His nerves are wide nwuke and his muscles are In good working order. He has his full strength at his Cls- posal. and he tries to use it with fatal results. Throughout the game this condition of mind and muscles hold. good. It is especially true with puttitig, where the gentle stroke and the deft touch on the ball are essential to success. The trouble with most golfers is that they put too much energy Into the game. It is a natural inoiinniion iu want to "kill'' the ball, and It Is a trre;t satisfaction to see it sailing In a straight lino 200 yards or more down the liilrviay. It is th,. strokes in between the tee and the groi n, and especially those aft er one g'ts on the green, that count. They must i(. made with care and with relaxed mus l. s And If you can't re lax any other way, l would recommend, that Jim get yourself pretty well tired out before playing it you .want to be ltt th" best form. The excess of energy usually is re sponsible lor poor shots. The slice, which convHpohds In base ball pitching to the incurve, almost In variably is d ie to tension of muscles which involuntarily draw the stroke up short. Such u stroke pmduces a . rotary motion very similar to that lin parted to the baseball by the pitcher's lingers, with tlio same result The pull, or hook, is the oulcurve of golf. It is caused by an over-expenditure of energy the other way round. The player, in his effort to "follow through" correctly, throws his club head out, rather than allow it to take its natural course without the aid of hands or brain. Co)t requires natural movements. When one is tired he moves with as little exertion as possible, and the way of the least exertion usually Is the natural way. Try it for yourself some time when you are good and tiled and find out. Saturday fatigue, the result of ft whole week's effort in office or fac tory, has been studied by scientists for some months. It has been definitely proved that a man's abilities In every line of work are at a low ebb on the last day of the week, graduating down daily until on the last day his physical and mental condition rcuch the. very lowest eMieine of his natural vitality. A rest over Sunday restores hlni, and the vitality i hart shows a sharp up ward shoot on Monday and begins to dei line slow ly again by Tuesday morning. As far as I have been able to judge, golf is the only business or pleasure that benefits in any way from the week-end fatiguu that is the portion of every man who l-tbors either with his brain or his hands.
