BREATHING AND HOT AIR Note—After a good deal of trouble and persuasion, Professor Bruce, of Room 51, managed to get the following past the editor and into the paper. It is submitted with pride by the professor, but with apologies by the “Breezes.” Have you ever noticed how a person breathes? The chest rises and falls, rises and falls, then rises and falls, (insufficient room here to tell how many times it rises and falls). It goes up and down just like the stock market, all by itself, with no hose attachments or force pumps. Ask your teacher to tell you about force pumps. In your spare time, go and watch the baby when he is asleep. He doesn’t know what he is doing and he isn’t interested. He won’t stop breathing though, unless you put corks in his nose, and then he’d prob¬ ably blow them out. If you were to awaken him and say: “Pardon me, baby, but you are breathing,” he would.look surprised and sav: “Goo!” He does it without thinking. Get your teacher to tell you how thought¬ less babies are. Inside each of us there is a pair of patented bellows for breathing when we are asleep. When this machine becomes too noisy, someone socks you or stuffs a pillow in your face. Don’t think you’re smart just

When you’re swimming in the ocean, and you dive under water, you don’t dare take a breath. This is because the salt water makes you thirsty, and it would be terrible to be thirsty under the water. Just imagine how thirsty you would get if you had hay fever under the water. Air is found in lots of places ' , such as toy balloons, teachers, council members, and answers on examination papers. When you take a deep breath of sweet, pure, grade A air, your patent bellows use up the oxygen, and when they expel carbon dioxide, even your best friend won’t speak to you. Get your teacher to tell you how hot “examination air” is. It is fortunate for us that we don’t have to be reminded to take a breath. Forgetful people and absent-minded professors would soon suffocate. To prevent this, many “free air” stations are to be found in the city. Ask your teacher to show you an experiment in suffocating. Questions: (1) Are you self-conscious when you breathe? (2) What would happen if we breathed out other compounds of carbon such as carbon paper? (3) Try snoring at night, in church, under water.
