VEGETABLE AND ANIMAL HEAT
Fluctuations In the Temperature
OF Each.

A bar OF iron submerged in boiling
water will be heated to about 2l2 de-
grees. says the Boston Globe. If both
iron and water are placed where they
can cool each will assume the tempera-
ture of the surrounding air whether It
be 100 degrees above or 10 degrees below
zero .
In this way the iron and water will
give proof of their inanimate, inorganic
nature. On the other nand, onesof the
principal characteristics of all living
maintain, more or less constantly, a
standard temperature OF their own, re-
CARELESS OF the surrounding changes.
This standard varies remarkably in
different creatures. but I'm many in
dividuals any great departure from their
standard, up or down. brings death:
