days later. During the period OF
their live burial air was pumped down,
to them by bore holes. On this they
may be said to have lived. without
food and without water. The total
want OF the latter Is what makes their
survival so remarkable. But for this
essential the longer fasts OF p % fession-
al fasting men would have been quite
impossible. We can have no difficult
ty in understanding generally why
this holds true II we bear in mind the.
fact that not only does water consti-
tute by far the greater constituent OF
every tissue. but that without its due
proportion the circulation and nutri-
ton Of the blood and that needful II
costly chemical change upon which
all tissue repair depends would be
alike impossible.
In endeavoring to trace the rationale
OF a life persisting. as in the case OF
the buried miners in spite of the alb
sence OF every natural condition we
must notice one or two significant
points. In the first place their con-
dition was that OF rest their function
al metabolism being proportionately
less active their waste OF tissue dim
inished and their output OF carbonic
acid not so likely to overcharge tho
surrounding atmosphere. Further
we may take 1t for granted that ro-
bust physique had no small share in
the conservation OF vital energy.
Much depends In such cases on the
amount OF heterogeneous matter stored
up, for the most partin muscular tissue
and available for destructive changes.
We may safely assume that the
amount OF reserve nitrogen in the
case OF these men was not meager II
stuucd tnuJ we must attribute not
only the fact OF their existence but
the still more remarkable prospect
of their convalescence and ultimate
