Science
; The Diaphragtn.
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

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

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

This same glow is often seen on
small animals and a number of in

mon in various sections of the world,
and In some localities Insects have a
brilliant glow coming from beneath

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.

rate of less than 1 per cent.

different purposes about a household.

him. He rolled the stretched.
"Gee," yawned Slim. "I wuz dream

"On your way," growled Dougherty,
poking Slim's fat ribs with the butt
of his club. "You'd dream if it was

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.

"Say 'Uncle,' you little son-of-a-

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

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

"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?" And he
kept on around the circle.

By Rose M.
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

Kach day the young birds should be

Besides the usual mixed canary seed,
which is a regularly fixed food for
canaries during the breeding season,
the old birds should be fed a mixture
of grated hard boiled egg and finely
rolled cracker crumbs, and after the
young birds begin to fly and hop
around the cage and pick up food on
their own account, .it makes a good
feed for them, but should onlv b elven
them once a day, as they will become
too fat, which will impair their sing- j
inr qualities. The fledglings eat more ;
than their own weight each day. j
In two or three weeks the young
birds will leave the nest and begin fly- 1

time on, as the tameness of your birds '

He ground his teeth for a moment.
Then his face lit with an inspiration,
"Great," he exclaimed. "Keep 'em
on. It s a hot wardrobe for business.
You can work witn me and I'll slip you
what I mooch. You're dead right. The

PLAY GOOD GOLF
By Dr. H.
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

It was an honorable proposal. It
was the niost honorable proposal he
had ever made or had ever known how
to make. Pearl blushed as crimson

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.
