WHIcH Is TnE WAsuEsr, NAN on WonAS-

WHICH Is THE WARMEST, NAN OR WOMAN
There was discussion in the British Scien
tho Association, lately, On this question:
The theory of Aristotle, that a man possessed
more warmth than woman, bad been dispu
ted; and it had been held by some, as the re.
suit of modern research, that the temperature
OF women was slightly superior to men. Not
outstanding this, however, from such obser-
vations as be bad been able to make. DR..
Davy considered the early opinion the more
correct. Taking theaverage, it appeared that
the temperature of males and females was
1898 to 1913. He had more recently made
some additional observations, using Their
moneter of great delicacy, and taking, for the
purpose of bis experiments, six persons, three
men and three women, all In good health
The result was that the temperature in the
case of the men varied between 90 and 991
that of woman 97a and 96. An examina.
ton of other animals gave a still somewhat
higher temperature for the male than the fe-
male--six fowls showing the proportion of
lO834 for the former to LOT 70 for the latter.
DR.. Davy said the probability was, that wo-
men did not resist cold so well as men, and
that the greater the strength and energy, the
larger the quantity of blood flowing, the great
er would be the power of resistance Gen.
orally speaking, he believed that women suf-
fered more from cold than men, and really
required warmer dress than men. DR.. Hay
don remarked that the conclusion TO which
Dr. Davy arrived was only veri6cation of
what PRIoRi reasoning would have led to,
from the larger quantity of carbonic acid Ia
ken by men, and their probable larger con
of sugar. The President said it
was matter Of fact, and not theory, thai
they were dealing with and if it was true
that the amount of heatgenerateG in the case
of . man was greater than with q woman,
there was greater expenditure of heat with
the male than the female
