My, Is thnt the lmblt of wonrln?: cor
nets forces women to use the upper
pnrt of the Inns In brontlilns, nnd It
Is there thnt the hnlr poison is chlctly
generated.
In order to prove his theory, Pr.
Tnrkor lind bnld bonded nlon exhnle
their brenth Inlo n vessel free from
nlr, nnd It wns transferred Into bottle
pnrtly filled with wnter. After per
mitting It to remnln In the bottle long
cnoilRli to Impregnate the wnter with
the hnlr poison the wnter wns Injected
under tho skin of dog, hens nnd
pigeons. The result wns Hint the hnlr
of the doss nnd the feathers of the
hens nnd pigeons fell out while the in
jections were continued nnd grew
again when they ceased.
Millions of tiny hollow spaces known
ns "nlr cells" occur In the lung. They
vnry In size from one two-hundredth
to one-seventieth of nn Inch In dlnme
tor. If they could nil be opened nnd
spread out they would cover nn nren
from J 00 to ir,0 times grenler than the
nrea of the skin. These nlr cells nre
(fathered Inlo groups less thnn nn
Inch In diameter, nnd enoh group Is
connected with the bronchinl tubes.
Owing to this niTangement nlr mny be

iv hen the ribs which enclose the up
end lowered In breathing nlr Is taken
Into nnd expelled from every pnrt of
the lungs, bocnuse nil tho ribs nre con
nected, nnd the upper ones rnnnnt be
raised without raising the lower ones,
thus expnndlng the entire cavity.
Women nsunlly employ this method of
breathing, but when the lower ribs
are rnlscd It does not follow that the
extreme upper ribs must move, too.
Dr. Tnrker nlso points out thnt In or
dinary breathing only one-sixth of the
Ir in the lungs is driven out with
each breath. The nlr expelled from
the lungs contains very small quanti
ties of organic matter, ns well ns hy
drogen, nnd marsh gas linV been estab
lished by research. From birth to
death the lungs nre never entirely
empty of etngnnnt air containing these
substances.
Persons who lend sedentary lives nre
especially likely to become bnld, be
cause lack of exercise reduces the
amount of oxygen obtained by the
blood and tends to prevent full brenth
ing. The hnblt of bending over desks,
which contracts the upper pnrts of tho
lungs and keeps them contracted, has
the same effect. In old ago baldness
becomes quite common because the
tlbs grow more rigid nnd are less
easily moved.
When Dr. Tnrker began his experi
ments be obtained from a middle
aged mnn who had long been bnld, a
largo bag full of expired air. This
was transferred to a bottle partly
filled with water, and placed In nn In
cubator, where It was kept for ten
days at a temperature of ninety-eight
degrees. Injections of the Impreg
nated water were mado dally Iu a fox
terrier and a hen. After fourteen In
jections the dog commenced to lose Its
hair and the hen Its feathers. After
fifty-two Injections large bare patches
were visible on both subjects.
Neither subject showed nny signs of
disturbed health during the progress
of the experiments. The dog played
as usual, and seemed to be la good
spirits, while the hen continued to lay
eggs. Their weight remained un
changed. After the Injections ceased
new coat of hair covered the bare
patches in the dog and the ben got
her feathers tack.
Convinced that his theory was cor
rect. Dr. Parker determined to make a
new set of experiments, In October of
last year. First he obtained the breath
of a man who was not bald, then he
filled a flask with the breath of a mnn
who was bald, and finally one con
taining ordinary atmospheric air. All
these were placed In the Incubator to
allow decomposition to take place. In
this experiment he used one fox ter
rier, five hens and five pigeons, all
fully grown.
Injections Into the dog from the two
flasks of expired air, one from a bald
man and the other from a man not
bald, had the same effect as In the
first experiment Similar treatment
of the hens and pigeons was followed
by the same results. Only those which
were treated with the liquid from the
first two flasks were affected.
Dr. Parker concludes from these ex
periments that when human breath Is
kept long enough to allow decomposi
tion of the organic matter which It
contains to take place It creates a poi
son which in the blood of certain ani
mals acts upon tha hair and similar
tissues and has no other effect Sum.

tlons. Dr. Parker says:
"It seems not unreasonable to eon-
aide that baldness, sf ths type under
consideration, Is caused by an nnt.v
Infection In which trleholoxieon Is
tnken up by the blond from the air
cells of the lungs, whore It hns been
elaborated during decomposition of or
gnnlc mnttor normnlly present In re
spired nlr."
Though Pr. Tnrker docs not suggest
It, It Is possible for nny person threat
ened with bnhlnoss to test the theory
by hnbllunlly bronthlng with the entire
lungs. If lr. Tnvker Is correct, this
expedient ought to stop the fnlllugof

To Chloroform a I'rrson.
The only way to render a person
unconscious by the use of chloroform
Is In the way practiced by surgeons
In the operating room. And this Is
by no means nn easy task. There nre
several ways of dolug It. The chloro
form may be dropped on ft handker
chief, which Is thou held over the
fnce nt some little distance, or It mny
be dropped on n sponge, or It mny be
used In one of the Innumerable ma
chines invented for the purpose. Hut
the vapor must be mixed with nlr be
fore It In breathed. That Is the rca
sou the handkerchief or the sponge
is bold some Inches from the face. As
a rule, it takes from live to eight
minute: to make the person uncon
scious, nnd during this time lie gen
erally struggles very violently.
It is probable Hint many of the
charges of chloroforming which have
been made nra false, oinct linos tho
pretended victim tissorts that he 1ms
become unconscious immediately. Hut
It hits been shown lu evidence that the
time ncccssniy to bring about this re
sult Is nt lenst four or live minutes.
Siometlmes be says he could not cry
out: yet be describes nil the clrciuu
stnuci s of the lulmlnlslratloii minute

form Is to produej confusion of the
mind, while, ou the other hand, the
patient enn cry out nlmnst up to the
Inst, lie becomes mentally confused
before bo loses the power of speech.
These few facts nre sutUclcnt perhaps
to demonstrate that some charges of
possible chloroforming ure necessarily
untrue. London Stall.
The Meaning of a Trade-Mark,
In n ense recently dedded by the
I'nltod States Supreme Court, cover
ing the trnde-ninrk laws of the coun
try. Chief Justice Miller delivered the
opinion, In the course of which he
called attention to several salient
points. Attention wns first railed to
the enrly use of the term "trade-murk"
nnd Its meaning ns n distinctive mnrlc
of nulheiitlelly, through which tho
products of particular manufacturers
or the vendible commodities of certain
merchants may be distinguished from
those of others.
A trade-mnrlt may consist of any
symbol or nny form of words, but ns
Its ottlce Is to point out distinctively
the origin or ownership of the articles
to which It Is nfllxed. It follows thnt
no sign or form of words can be ap
propriated ns a valid tnido-innrk
which, from the nature of the fact con
veyed by its primary meaning, others
may employ with erpinl truth, and
with equal right for the same purpose.
A general rule hns been established
to the effect that words thnt do not
in nnd of themselves Indicate any
thing In the nature of orlgiu, manu
facture or ownership, but nre merely
descriptive of the place where nn
article Is manufactured or produced,
cannot be monopolized us a trade
mark. Fitted to III Position.

The E'pltoiulst
Ylnme Fertilizers ami Fertility,
The main thing In farming Is keep
ing up the fertility of the soil while
annually gathering crops from It. If
the soli degenerates just a little each
year It must bo only a short time be
fore bankruptcy must stare the farm
er lu the face unless be makes sulll
clout prolits from his crops to lay aside
something. But even this Is u poor
policy. That effort should bo mado
to maintain tho fertility of the soil up
to ft high standard. This Is Just ns
Important as It Is for a business man
to keep a good slock of goods on hand,
dud not let his business run down
through lack of a good plant.
Soil fertility is n question intimate
ly connected with tho question of
home fertilizers. The farmer cnunot
depend upon commercial fertilizers to
supply his plants with food. They
mny help at certnin times, and add to
tho land particular ingredients Hint
nre lucking, but they can never tako
tho pluco of homo fertilizers. Barn
yard manure and greeu fertilizers
must always bo the chief dependence
of the farmer for enriching his soli.
Contained in these are all the elements
needful to mnko plants thrive. They
vary in different foods, nnd their pro
portions are sometimes not all that wo
jiecd. Ouo soil mny become deficient
In nitrogen, phosphoric ncld or potush,
and BUlllelcut of tho proper elemefit
cannot bo supplied with the natural
manures. It Is then that nu applica
tion of artlflclul fertilizers will ever
keep a soil up to tho proper standard.
Wo may stimulate tho plants for a
few seasons, nnd think that we nro
performing wonders, but wo are dolug
It nt tho cost of soil fertility. Sooner
or later we will discover that the soil
has become thin and worthless, with
hnrdly sufficient strength to grow a
blade of grass, and then we mny real
ize that wo have been raising crops on
stimulants. We may as well attempt
to fatten and strengthen a man oil al
coholic drinks, which do for a time
stimulate the body and muscles to un
usual performances.
The backbone of our farming Is
barnyard manure and green fertiliz
ers, riow these under every year in
sufficient quantities, and the heaviest
crops can be raised wltl.at Injuring
the land. Then, wher needed, dress
the land with artificial fertilizers to
add nitrogen, potash or phosphoric
acid, as the case may need, Somo
crops absorb more of one of these ele
ments than others, and It Is essential
to know which Is being used In excess
of others. O. L. Mason, New Jersey.
