HOW MANY TONS DO you llFrf
Laborers oftan Raise From Three to Four
Hundred Toms Day.

Hundred Toms Day.
Tt is interesting, bot nos always easy. to
make comparisons between the enersry re-
CURED for doing various kinds Of work
The simplest way to make the comparison
is to estimate the amount of energy of Der.
forming each task In terms of foot pounds
or foot tons, the meaning of which is the
energy required to lift one pound OF one
ton to height Of one foot.
Inasmuch as there are 2,240 pounds in
q ton. 1t is obvious that 1t requires $40
times as much effort to lift one ton as to
lift one pound, and that the lifting of one
pound to height Of 2,240 feet is precisely
equivalent to the lifting of one ton to the
height of one foot.
In talking of things in this way we are
surprising somewhat imaginary condi-
ton of affairs-for instance, we may sum-
mon to our aid hypothetical pulleys in
which friction has no existence, and by q
succession Of such pulleys we can, by pull
ling a rope through distance of 100 feet,
raise 100 pounds to the height Of one foot
without exerting a stronger pull upon the
rope than would be required to lift sin
gle pound to the height of one foot. The
element of time is generally left out Of
consideration In such calculation, the
actual work done being the only matter
thought about
A few rough estimates of the energy ex.
pressed in this way required for executing
certain tasks reveal some curious results
Assuming an average condition OF roads Ii
Is reckoned that walking one mile is equiv
alent to lifting 17M tons to the height Of
one foot; walking four miles requires foua
times as much energy, and is equivalent
TO lifting 70 tons to the height of one foot.
Carrying 60 pounds a distance of four
miles is considered to require 100 foot
tons of energy and this affords a conven-
lent sort of unit for dealing with the energy
required for bigger tasks.
A peddleF in the course of a days work
is supposed on the average to exert some
thing like 300 foot tors Of energy, dock
laborer's efforts are currently put down at
3s5 foot tons, days labor at pile driving
requires 83S foot tons, and payer in the
course of days labor puts forth as much
energy as would lift 35a tons to the height
of one foot or one ton to the height of 852
feet
A days work for an ordinary laborer Is
estimated at from 800 to 400 foot tons, this
being very hard work. Turning winch
pretty steadily all day long is the equiya-
lent of sornsshing like s75 foot tons, while
a convict is generally let off with the ex-
penditure Of about $40 foot tons per day.

was a disappointment to them.
While friendly in tone toward

the nature of a desire to pro-

to other shoulders. The repre-
