This is not surprising when the enor-

Labor of Mountain CIimbinr.

Below is curious calculation on the
amount of energy expended by person
weighing 16s pounds in climbing a
mountain peak 1000 feet high, the time
allowed for the ascent being five hours:
By careful calculation it is found that
the total amount of labor performed
is equal to raising 1,3s0,0OO pounds to
height of 1,3so,oOO feet. OF this enor-
nous amount of work 1,176,0O0 foot
pounds is expended by the muscles of
the legs in raising or lifting the body:

blood, 10000 by the chest in breathing
and $4,000 in the various exertions Of

THE KAISER'S SALARY.
It Is Taken to His Palace Once
Every Three Months.
Half of His Pay Comes from the German
Empire, the Other Half from the
Kingdom of Prussia-Soms
- Profitable .Perquisites.

Emperor William receives his salary
quarterly in advance. The money Is
thrice counted by different function
aries at the national treasury, and Is
afterward placed in a number of strong
boxes and carried TO the royal mail
wagon, waiting at the door between
the troops of mounted gendarmes.
After the load has been placed in the
vehicle the ministers of finance of the
empire and of the kingdom place tho
seals of their respective Offices upon
the door and accompany the minister
of the royal household in his carriage
to the palace, the mail wagon with
It's escort of gendarmes following in.
mediately behind. Not until the money
is actually deposited in the vaults OF
Emperor Williams Berlin palace does
the minister of the household sign the
receipts, which are made out in the
name of "Wilhelm Rex" and "Wilhelm
Imperator," respectively, one-haf OF
the sum being derived from the treas
ury of the kingdom of Prussia and the
other from the treasury of the German
empire.
Two days afterward the court func-
tionaries receive their pay, but al
though the emperor receives his salary
in advance, not one of the employees is
similarly favored, so that the emperor
is practically always three months be-
mind in the pay list of his household.
The only exception which the emperor
makes is in favor of his consort, whose
personal allowance of S25O,OOO per an,
mum is paid to her quarterly in advance.
At no great court in Europe, says the
Chicago Record, are the salaries so low
