Tho Work Of the Heart.

One Of the most remarkable thinga
about the heart is the amount Of work
it does. Considering the organ as q
pump whose task is to deliver known
quantity of blood against a known
"head," it is easy to show that in "a
hours man heart does about 1874 foot
tons of work I'm other words" says q
contemporary, "if the whole force ex.
pended by the heart in "a hours were
gathered into one huge stroke, such q
power would lift 1874 tons one foot from
the ground. A similar calculation has
been made respecting the amount of
work expended by the muscles involved
in breathing. In "a hours these muscles
do about 81 foot tons Of work. -

SARDlNE FISHING.
The Process From the Time Of the Catcl
to tie Canning and Cooking.

The Process From the Time Of the Catch
to tie Canning and Cooking.
Toward the end of April the sardine
fishermen along the coast of Brittany
begin to watch fo1 the bubbling of the
sardines on the surface Of the sea. For
they know that vast shoals of the little
fish are on their way from the coast OF
Africa up through the bay Of Biscay to
the north, and that they must be caught,
if at all, as they pass. When any one
sees the water agitated, word spreads
rapidly and the boats put out from the
shore and race to the shoal
When the net is extended, the water
is ''baited'' by throwing balls Of
''roque" into it. AS the bait dissolves
and sinks the sardines rise and remain
long after to nibble it, and their doom
is sealed. For this reason rogue" is a
most important part of the sardine fish
erman's outfit. 1t is made Of the eggs Of
mackerel and Goldfish mixed with clay,
and is rather expensive, costing from 30
shillings to 70 shillings barrel
Within the curing factories or can
nerleS everything Is hustle and confu-
sion, for there must not be a moment g
delay in cleaning the fish. All night
long the work is carried on by the light
Of blazing oil wicks. The sardines are
spread out on benches or tables, where
salt is busted over them. Then the
women go along and snip off the heads
with great scissors.
The little fat boxes so we'll known
to commerce are taken one by one and
filed from the glistening pile Of fish,
after which pure olive oil from the
province Of Bari, in Italy, is poured
over them and the tops soldered on.
In the meantime great caldron Of
hot water has been raised to the boiling
point ready for the real operation Of
cooking the fish. The sealed boxes are
thrown into it and left for two or three
hours. If any oil appears on the top Of
the water, the master workman knows
that some can has not been properly
soldered, and the loss is charged up to
the man who did the work A good
workman will not lose more than two
or three boxes in 100.-New York Re-
