PUIIE AIR AND IMPURE.
Not So had to llreothe Foul Air,
Says English Physiologist.
Fresh air fiends will get little
support for their propaganda in
the views of Professor Leonard
Hill, •an English physiologist. He
maintains that bad air is not so
very bad, after all. He says it is
an erroneous idea that the air of
close, crowded rooms is contami-
nated by the exhalations of human
beings and is impoverished of oxy-
gen.
Int is the heat in a close ronin that
makes us feel uncomfortable, not
the lack of oxygen or the surplus
of carbonic acid in the air, accord-
ing to the professor. The only 'ef-
feet of an excess of carbonic acid—
supposed to he very poisonous—is
to make us breathe deeply and ven-
tilate oar lungs more fully. As for
the loss of oxygen in 0close room,
"it is never diminished by more
than nue per cent., for the cracks,
crannies and pores of the walls al-
ways suffice to let fresh air in."
However that may be—and a lay-
man should hesitate to dispute a
scientist it can hardly be denied
that pine outdoor air tastes and
smells much bebtar than the air in
even a ventilated room. One may
be as wholesome as the other, as
far as its constituents are eoneern•
ed, but anost folks will prefer air
that has not been breathed in and
out too often. In the popular mind,
if not in scientific fact, headaches

nu address on ''Liberal Education, at
west 1501 College, Hampstead, said the
examination systemhad done more than
anything else to poison education in the
n1U sotnary. The memory, when mast re•
tsntive, was loaded with barren facts.
When the examinations were over, the
mind, au long drawls tight, like an over -
strung hair, sprang back, and very often
threw away a great deal of what had been
laboriously learned. The greatest enemy
of all was the ingrained contempt for
the intellectual life in Singland. Econ in
Shakespeare, was it not true .that the
most intelligent men were generally the
greatest villains? Shakespeare eeemod to

between intellectltal:ern and rascality,. In

Throughout the ages fanciful be-
