All About the Human Heart.

The human heart is hollow muscle Of
a coniclc form placed between tho two
lungs and inclosed in the pcricardiurn,
OF heart sac The ordinary size of the
heart in the adult is about 5 inches in
length, 81 inches in breadth at the broad
est part and 2! inches in thickness, and
its weight is 10 to II ounces in men and
8 to 10 ounces in women. The incr' sse
in size is greatest and most rapid during
the first and second years of life, its
bulk at the end Of the second year being
exactly double what it originally was.
Between the second and seventh years
it is again almost double in size. a
slower rate of growth then sets in and
continues during the period of maturity
of other portions of the body. After the
fifteenth year up to the tiftieth the an
nual growth Of the heart is about .o6l of
a cubic inch, the increase ceasing about
the tifticth ear.-[Chicago Herald.

Component Parts Of Inks.

Nearly all the inks in common use con-
tain organic matter as part Of the color
ing matter. The great ma ority of them
are principally combination of iron
with gallo aud tannic acids, both of
which are organic acids and quite readily
decomposed. The action Of moisture,
light and other agents will, after a while,
decomposc these salts of iron, leaving
only the almost invisible oxide of iron to
show where the writing has been. The
only really permanent ink is that pre-
pared from some form Of carbon, such as
lampblack, of which the Chinese or
India ink is composed. Carbon resists
destructive influences to a remarkable
degree, and writings made with such
ink will last as long as the paper op
which they are written.

Fish Are Wide Awake Creatures,

Do fish sleep2 asks the Fishing Ga
zette. No absolutely certain answer can
be given, says Medicus, in the Gazette.
My own impression is that they do, but
when | say this let it not be supposed
that | confuse their slumber, coma, or
rest-call it what you like-with the
sleep of animals 1t is the same only in
generic kind, inasmuch as that it relieves
the function as analogous slumber does
in the higher animals. To understand
the meaning wish to convey it is neces-
sary to bear in mind that the fish is cmi.
nently endowed with muscular and, con-
sequently, great locomotive power.
Moreover, as it consumes but little oxy-
gen, the waste of tissue is not great,
hence fish have been known to do with
out food for great length Of time. Sim
ilarly the stress on the vital powers is
not great, compared with that produced
by the difficulties OF movement in land
animals.
These facts, viz, great muscular power,
easy locomotion and small consumption
of oxygen, being borne in mind, we can
understand why the necessity for sleep is
small, and are prepared to find that fish
sleep but little.

Or. Joseph T. N0thrOck. the bot
