Unrolling q Mummy.

At the Botanical theatre of Univer.
sity college, Cover street, in the pres
ence of a large company OF professors,
students and the general public, an
Egyptian mummy from upper Egypt
was unrolled by Mr.. Z. A. Wallis
Bulge, of the British museum, who
has had considerable experience in
such spelling of the Egyptians" and
did not seem to shrink from the task
of dissecting a possible SUBJECTED Cleo
patra or one of the Pharaohs. Though
the process occupied nearly two hours,
it was watched intently by the spec
tators, and when, disentangled from
yard upon yard of the swathing cloth
in which it had been been wrapped,
the outline OF the figure appeared
clearly, the interest increased. Bekk
Ran, as Mr.. Bulge informed his audi
snce, could hardly have been a person
of high rank. as there vas neither
ring nor scarabaus. The whole body
had been incased in bitumen. Strange
ly enough, the authorities of the col.
lege know nothing as to where the
mummy came from, or who placed it
in the college museum. 1t was posi-
bly, hard on the deceased Bekk and his
family when a young lady observed
that the only use TO which mummies
could possibly be devoted was the de-
velopment of tooth powder. London

For MN C1tmhen

The physical energy or force some
times exerted by the human body I'M
der certains conditions is known to be
astonishing, but no one has ever taken
the trouble 10 put before us that force
in figures. DIR. j. Bucheister has now
made a most interesting calculation
on the "work done" by Mountaineers
in ascending heights, which will serve
asan illustration. Surprising a noun
taineer weighing lGS pounds is max
ing the ascent of a summit 1000 feet
high from the point Of starting, he has
10 expend mn amount OF physical force
found by multiplying his weight by
the height 10 be assembled. In the
cas- assumed, a weight of l6s pounds.
multiplied by a height of 1000 feet,
equals l,l76,000 foot pounds; or in,
other words, l,l76,0O0 pounds have to
be lifted one foot.
This is work performed merely by
the muscles Of the legs, but besides
this, the contractions Of the muscles
Of the heart have TO be taken into ac-
count. Its function consists, as is well
known, in ~propelling the blood col
Letting in the heart on the one hand
into the arteries, and on the other into
the lungs. This is effected at an in
itial velocity of one and one-half foot
per second, which represents in the
case of an adult a work of four foot
pounds for each contraction of the
heart. The pulsations of an adult
are, on an average, seventy-two per
minute, but in ascending heights, ow-
ing TO the additional exertion, their
number is increased to an extraordi-
nary extent.
Assuming, for the sake of simplicity
in calculation, only 100 beats Of the
pulse per minute, this would give 400
foot pounds per minute, 2i,OO0 foot
pounds per hour, and 120. 900 foot
pounds for the five hours supposed TO
be inquired in ascending a height of
1000 feet. The work performed by
the muscles in breathing, by the ex-
pansion and contraction of the chest,
may also be estimated at 4 foot pounds.
Assuming, further, that the number
Of breathings per minute is, on the av-
erage, only %, although, as a matter
of fact, it will be found to be higher
in a mountain ascent lasting five
hours, We have TO add further work of
$4,000 foot pounds.
The total work performed during
five hours by a mountaineer conse-
quently amounts to 1.326, 900 foot
pounds. In this estimate are not in
cluded the physical force spent in
overcoming h efriction on the ground,
the exertiOns to be made in keeping
the body eject at dizzy heights, and in
dragging heavy boots and foot irons,
northe loss of muscle power in cutting
steps in the ice, not to reckon the
work performed in carrying an ice
OK, or the physical force exerted in
crossing fresh loose snow. Taking all
these conditions INTO account, DIR.
Bucheister arrives at the conclusion
that the work done in an ascent OF
1000 feet, lasting five hours. cannot
be placed at less than 1850, 900 foot
pounds. Iron.
