Force Expended in Climbing Hill.

The physical energy on force sometimes
cNcrtcd 10y the human body under certain
conditions is known 10 be astounding,
but no one has ever taken the trouble To
put before Us that force i'm figures DR..
j. Buchhci,tcr has now made most in
terc,tng calculation on the "work done
10y mouutaiuccrs in ascending heights,
which will serve rs am illustration. sup.
poSinga weighing lGS pounds
is making the ascent of summit 1000
feet high from the point OF starting, he
has 20 cNpcnd an amount uf physical force
hymultiplying his weight by the height 10
bn a,ccndcd. Ia the case assumed u
weight of 1GS pounds multiplied 10y -
height of 1000 feet equals | ,la6. 900
foot pounds; or, in other words, .l1G,
OOO pounds have to bo lifted foot.
This Is work performed merely hy the
muscles Of the legs; but, besides this,
the coutructions ot the muscle OF the
heart have to be taken into account. Its
function consists, A. is well known. in
propyling the blood collecting in the
heart, on the one hand, into the arteries,
and, on the other. into the lungs. This
j. elected AT an initial velocity of / Z feet
per second, which represent, in the case
of an adult work ot / loot.pounds for
each contraction of the heart The pull
slt.ons of am adult are ON the average -
per minute, but in ascending heights,
owing tn the additional cXcr,ipu their
number is increased to an extraordinary
extent.
Assuming, for the sake Of simplicity in
calculation, only 100 beats of the pulse
pcrmiuutc. this would give 400 foot
pounds per minute, -, 600 ioot.pomds
per hour and l2OOO foot-pouuds for
the five hours supposed 10 be required in
ascending height of 1000 feet The
work performed by the muscles in
breathing, by the expansion and coutrac-
tion Of the chest, may also bc estimated
at four foot-pounds. Assuming, further,
that the number of brcathings per min
ute Is on the average only twenty-five,
although, as matter of fact il will be
found to be higher in mountain ascent
lasting five hours, we have to add fur
thcr work oi 30, 900 foot-pounds,
Tho total work performed during five
hours by mountaincer consequently
amounts to 1926, 600 foot-pounds. In
this estimate are not included the physi-
cal force spent in overcoming the iric.
ton ON the ground, the cXcrtions to be
made in keeping the body erect at dizzy
heights and in dragging heavy boots and
foot-irons, nor the loss of muscle power
in cutting steps in thc ice, not to reckon
the work performed in carrying an ice
axe, or the physical force eNerted in
crossing fresh, loose snow. Taking all
these conditions into account, DR.. Buch,
holster arrives %, the conclusion that the
work done in an ascent Of 1000 feet,
lasting five hours, cannot be placed at
less than $3.50, 600 foot-pounds. Iron.

discussed matrimonial problem, and he
presents cold facts and figures in re-
gard to domestic infclicity that are
worth considering. These help to de-
tcrmino whether or not divorces aro
increasing, the condition of marital
relations, and other points relating to
the question
The report Of the Commissioner con-
tains variety Of interesting points
outside of the dry figures. He SAYS
that there ore more cases Of cruelty
charged against wives than agaiast
husbands. In some of the eases in
which husbands were complainants
funny reasons are alleged as grounds
for divorces. For instance, one man
swcars that his wife wouldn't sew but.
tons on his clothes. The affidavit of n
witness is presented, tcstifying that
this man was often seen with only ono
button on his vest. Another husband
says his wife pulls all the clothing off
him every night, leaving him TO shiycr
until morning, \ case possessing more
than ordinary interest and showing how
frall and hrArtlcss u Young married
woman may be is that Of prominent
couple taking their wedding trip. They
left New York on The evening of their
m,rrinRo. The bride, happening to be
left hy her husband. who went into
the smoker for few moments. was
carrying on very enthusiastic hirta-
tion when her husband returned. This
started u quarrel. which ended in an
immediate separation, shat soon ter
minated in q divorce.
Commissioner Wright gives n table
showing that the duration of married
life before divorce is SO years for the
husband. and g29 for the wife. There
were 27.NO9 couples in the United
States who lived together about four
years before they sought divorce, ~
300 who tired of marriage relations Mt

preferred single blcsscdness in two
years while lJ,G22 wore satisfied after
