IN the first two of her series of talks Professor
Cullis dealt with the important question of what to eat and drink. She now proceeds to the equally fundamental matter of breathing. How many of us breathe healthily ? Of course, in many of our English industrial towns we cannot hope to breathe the right things-the air is a compound of soot and chemicals from factory chimneys ; but at least we can breathe the right way, and that is what Professor Cullis will tell us this afternoon how to do.

Intermezzo in A (Op. 118, No. 2)
Capriccio in D Minor (from Op. 116)
THE A Major Intermezzo is a capital example of Brahms' sentiment, that never drops into sentimentality. Its tender, caressing phrases show him in his happiest mood. The emotion is restrained, hut surely felt.
Op. 116 contains six pieces under the general title of ' Fantasies,' of which two (NQs. I and 7) are Capriccios in D Minor. One of these is marked to be played 'very fast and with energy,' and the other 'quick, agitated.'

THIS is the third of Professor Weiss's talks, in which he tells of the way in which plants adopt themselves to their neighbours in the plant community. In tho hedgerows, for instance, with which he will deal today, the competition for light causes many of the smaller kinds to develop a twining habit, and they climb up on their taller rivals in order to reach the life-giving rays of the sun.
