Many trccs in ihc Brackhan) arca wcrc brought do\vn in thc terrible storms that March. T1)C town itsel' lost two great limc trces from the ormer market squarc. 'ITic isappcarance of such promincnt caturcs had altercd the appcarancc of the town ccntre cntirely, to the annoyancc of iis niorc consenativc inhabiiants.

Among the annoyed, under more nonnal circumsiances, \vould havc bcen Chief Inspcctor Douglas Pclham, hca of the local jx>licc force. But at ihe height of thai weeks storm, when the wind brought down cvcn the mature \valnut iree in his gardcn. Pelham had in faci becn in no fit siatc to notice. A large and hcalthy man, he had for the irst me in his lifc been scriously ill with an attack of bronchitis.

\Vhcn he first complained of an aching head and tightncss in his chcst. his wifc. Molly, had iried to pcrsuade him to go to thc doctor. Convinced ihat the policc force could nt do wi(hout him, he had, as usual. ignorcd her and atiemptcd to carry on \vorking. Predictably, though he wouldn( have listcned lo anyonc who tried 10 icll him so. this had thc eect of ogging his memory and shortcning his tcmper.

It was only when his colleague. Scrgeant Lloyd. t(X)k the initiativc and drovc him to the doctors door that hc inally gave in. By that linie. hc didn't have the strength lcft to arguc wj

17 her. In no time at all. she was laking him along to thc chemist's to get his prescribcd antibiotcs and then homc to his unsurprised wifc who scnt him straight (0 bcd.

When Molly told him. on the Thursday moming. that thc walnut trec had bcen broughl dovvn during thc night. Pclhani hadnt bccn able lo takc it in. n Thursday cvening, he had asked wcakly about damagc lo Ihc house. groaned thankfully vvhcn hc hcard thcre was none. and pulletl thc shcets ovcr his hcad.

It \vasn't uniil Saturday, whcn the antibiotics took cffcci, his tcmpcraturc dropped and he got up. thai hc realiscd wilh a shock that (he loss of thc vvalnut trce liad inadc a pcnnanent dierence to (hc appearancc of the living-room.

Yawning

W hen one person yavvns in a room. o ther people begin to yawn.Yawning is contagious. and once you start, there is almost nothing you can do to stop. O f course, the big question is: why do we yawn at all? W hat possible advantage can there be in keeping ou r mouths wide open fo r several seconds? Is it a need fo r oxygen? Too much carbon dioxide in the blood? Time fo r bed?

r~ _________________It is none o f these according to Robert Provine an American psychologist. Provine frst became curious about yawning when he realised that nobody had reall/ studied this extremely common aspect o f behaviour.Most scientists are looking fo r the deep and obscure. Provine says. I look fo r the signiicance o f everyday behaviour that people have neglccted. W ith this in mind.he and several o ther psychologists decided to fmd out when, why and how we yawn.

2 _____Conventional wisdom has long held that we yawn in o rder to wake up ou r wcary brains with a rereshing burst o f oxygen. Assuming that this is true, Provine reasoned, then people who are running low on oxygen - o r high on carbon dioxide - should yawn more oten than normal. To find ou t if this was the case. Provine (irst had to try to make people yawn more.

In his laboratory, Provine gathered together a group o f students and to ld them to th ink about yavvning while they breathed in mixtures o f air that were eiier high in oxygen, high in carbon dioxide o r completely normal. Although the gases made the students breathe aster, none o f the different gases altered the students' rate o f yawning. which held steady at about 24 yawns an hour. Exercise, vvhich also speeds up breathing. made no difference to the yawning rate either.

m ................................................W hatever the reason fo r yawning, there is no doubt that it is rereshing. According to Ronald Baenninger, another psychologist who is interested in the subject, this eeling is not caused by oxygen coming into the body. The cause. he believes, may lie in the blood: yawning sends an extra supply o f blood to the brain.VVe do not know exactiy what ihe blood does vvhen it reaches the brain, but Baenninger believes it does help to reresh it.

Baenninger believes, therefore, that we yawn in o rder to make ou r brains rcady fo r some new action. To test this theory, he asked people to wear bands around the ir wrists as they went about the ir normal routines. These bands were sensitive to increased movement by the people vvearing them. The bands contained a bucton which the people were to ld to press every time they yawned. A fte r collecting data fo r tw o weeks. Baenninger found that w ithin 15 minutes o f yawning his subects were normally engaged in some more lively form o f activicy.

; ;

There are indeed plenty o f indications fromeveryday life to suggest that yawning helps thebrain to get ready fo r something big. Olympicathleces yawn beore a race, students yawnbeore an examination. and violinists yawnbeore a concerL It is no t that the athletes.studcnts o r violinists are bored; they are simplyvvorking to get co a level at vvhich they are welland tru ly ready fo r the main evenL

W e yawn when there is nothing actually happcning but vvhen we do not want to lose our level o f rcadiness, says Baenninger.Why wc yawn beore going to bed, though. rcmains a mystery. Baenninger suggests that i t may be that we struggle co scay awake and alert, but sleep simply wins ou t in the end.
