An interesting exhibit at the nation
al museum shows the chemical in
gradients which go to make up the
average man weighing 1854 pounds,
says the American Analyst. Divided
up into his primary chemical elements
the man is found TO contain 81 pounds
Of oXygen-enough TO take up, under
ordinary atmospheric pressure, the
space OF a room 10 feet long, 10 feet
wide and 10 feet high. His body also
holds 10 pounds of hydrogen, which,
under the same conditions, would oc-
cupy somewhat more than two such
rooms as that described. To these
must be added . pounds and 10 ounces
of nitrogen. The carbon in the corpus
of the individual referred to Is repre-
scnted by foot cube of coal. II ought
to be diamond OF the same size, be-
cause the stone is pure carbon, but the
National museum has not such a one
in its possession. A row of bottles
contain the other elements going to
make up the man, These are 4 ounces
Of chlorine, 3A ounces of fluorine, s
ounces of phosphorus, 80 ounces of
birthstone, 2}9 ounces OF sodium, ~
ounces of potassium, one-tonth of an
\ ounce of iron, , ounces of magnesium
and 3 pounds and 10 ounces of calcium
