The Work of the Heart,

One Of the most remarkable things
about the heart is the amount of work
it does. Considering the organ as a
pump whose task is to deliver known
quantity of blood against a known
"head," it is easy to show that in %
hours mans heart does about 124 foot
tons of work. Gin other words, says a
contemporary, eff the whole force ex-
pended by the heart in "a hours were
gathered into one huge stroke, such a
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

A Remarkable Toad.

In Surinam there is a remarkable
toadlike creature, the female of which
carries the young in a series Of cells in
the thick ekin of the back, which as
sumes strange honeycomblike appear
ance. When this lady toad is carrying
her nursery about with her, she is a
very repulsive looking object. Single
handed she would be quite unable to
cope with the important question Of
placing eggs where they will be most
favorably disposed for Matching. and for
this she has to rely on the good services
Of her mate. Soon after the eggs are
laid they are taken up by the male and
pressed, one by one, into the cells in the
thickened skin of his partners back.
There they grow until they fit closely
TO the hexagonal form of their prisons,
each of which is closed above by kind

SAROlNE FISHING.
The Process From the Time of the Catch
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 for 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,
il 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
rogue 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 "roque" is a
most important part of the sardine fish
ernian's outfit. 1t is made Of the eggs Of
mackerel and Goldfish mixed with clay,
and is rather expensive, costing from %
shillings to 70 shillings barrel

sion, for there must not be moment 8
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 snipioff the heads
with great scissors.
The little fiat boxes SO well known
to commerce are taken one by one and
filed from the glistening pile of fish,
after which pure olive oil from tho
province Of Bari, in Italy, is poured
over them and the tops soldered ON.
In the meantime a 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 1OO.-New York Re-
