Heat i'm the BODY.

An important source of heat in the
body is due to the friction of the blood
as it circulates in its vessels. All of
this resistance, which is overcome by
the heart, is transformed directly into
heat. We may calculate the amount
approximately. If we suppose that 1SG
ccs. of blood are expelled from the left
ventricle at each stroke, under n pres
sure of one third of an atmosphere, this
would correspond to .6192 kilogramme
metres at each stroke, and at ~ strokes
minute, this would give 44.3124 kilo
grammemetres per minute. If we sup.
pose that the right heart does one-quar
ter the wcrk of the left, or about 10
kilogramme metres per minute, we
have for the total work per minute
54.312 kilogramme metres, which cor.
responds to 12S calories per minute.
This is perhaps rather high esti.
mate for ordinary conditions, but
where the heart is forced to pump a
much larger quantity of blood in order
to maintain the normal temperature,
this estimate is probably much exceed,
ed at times. Since this friction takes
place largely in the most CONSTRUCTED
portions of the circulation, it would be
natural to expect that the blood which
had been driven through the capillary
system of a gland would issue much
warmer than it entered, and such we
find to be the case. Thus the blood of
the hepatic vein has been observed to
be 40.73, while that in the right heart
was 37.7. In the muscles no contrac.
ton can take place without an in.
creased flow of blood through them
with a Simultaneous construction of the
capillaries. which would naturally give
rise to a considerable production Of
heat-a fact constantly observed.-Sa

How Stolen Rice Thrived.

Minister to France, visited Italy, and,
finding there very superior quality
of rice, filled the pockets of his
Virginia overcoat, the old-fashioned
Virginia coat, with capes to it, which
our grandfathers wore-with it, and
to use plain language, smuggled it
out of the country. He carried it to

basis of the South Carolina rice, the

A MOTHERS EFFORT,

From he Ne,o Era, Greens5urg. Ind
The st. Paul correspondent for the Mem
Era recently had an item regarding the case
Of Mabel Stevens, who had just recovered
from n serious illness Of rheumatism and
nervous trouble, and was able to be out for
the first time in three months. The letter
stated that it was very bad case ana her
recovery was considered such surprise to
the neighbors that ii created considerable
gossip.
Being anxious to learn the absolute facts
IN the case, special reporter was sent to
have talk with the girl and her parents
They were not ut home, however, being
some distance away. A message was sent
to Mr.. Stevens asking him to write up
full history of the case, and a few days ago
the following letter was received from Mrs
Stevens:

"DEAG SIRs: Your kind letter received

tell you about the sickness and recovery of
Mabel. We don't want any newspaper no
torety but in n case like this where few
words of what have to say may mean re-
covery for some child | feel it my duty to
tell you of her case.
Two years ago this winter Mabel began
complaining of pains in her limbs, princi-
pally in her lower limbs. She was going to
school, and had to walk about three quar-
ters of Il mile each day, going through all
kinds OF weather She was thirteen years
old and doing SO we'll in her studies that l
disliked to take her from school but we had
to do it.
For several months she was confined to
the house, and she grew pale and dwindled
down to almost nothing. Her legs and

was pitiful. Several doctors had attended
her, but it seemed that none OF them did
her any good. They advised us to take her
to the springs, but times were so hard we
could not afford it, although we finally
managed to get her to the Martinsville
baths. Here she grew suddenly weaker,
and 1t seemed that she could not stand it,
but she became better, and it seemed that
she was being benefited, but she suddenly
grew worse, and we had to bring her home.
'She fingered along, and last winter be-
came worse again, and was afflicted with q
nervous trouble almost like the ST. Vitus
dance. For some time we thought she
would die, and the physicians gave her up.
When she was at her worst n neighbor came
in with n box of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and wanted us to try them as
they were advertised to be good for such
cases, and her daughter had used them for
nervousness with such good results that
she thought they might hep Mabel.
1--WE tried them. The first box helped
her some, and after she had taken three
boxes she was able to sit up in bed. When
she had finished half dozen boxes she was
able to be out and about. She has taken
about nine boxes altogether now and she
is as well as ever, and going to school
every day, having started in again three
weeks ago. Her cure was undoubtedly
due to these pills"

Weekly Report Of the Weather Bu-
reau on Wheat, Cotton, Corn, Etc.
Washington, Aug. 24-The weather bu-
reau. in its report of the crop conditions
for the week ended Aug. %, says;
The weather conditions during the week
in the states of the central valleys lake
region, New England and over the great
er part of the Gulf and South Atlantic
states have been very unfavorable to
crops, more particularly the important
staples. corn and cotton. The week has
been marked with exceptionally low tenn
peratures over the greater part of the
country cast of the Rocky mountains,
with Light frosts in the lake region and
upper Mississippi valley. Drought contin-
ues over portions of the Virginlas, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri and South
western Texas and is beginning to be felt
in portions of Nebraska, Iowa. Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, while excessive rains
have caused damage along the Gulf and
South Atlantic coasts. on the Pacific
coast and in the Rocky mountain region
the work has been generally favorable
although usually warm in Oregon and
Washington.
The conditions Of corn in Kansas has inn
proved, in Nebraska ii is maturing nice
ly, in South Dakota it is filling well, but
as generally throughout the central val
ley, it needs warmer weather to hasten
maturity before the frosts In Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the crops be-
sides suffering the effects of abnormaly
cool weather, is generally needing rain.
General rains have improved cotton in
Texas, except portions of the southern
parts of the state, where drought con-
tinues Cotton also needs rain in Missouri
and parts of North Carolina and South
Carolina. but over the greater part of
the central and eastern sections of the
cotton belt the crop has been seriously in
jured by excessive rains, and complaints
of rust and shedding are quite general
while reports of rotting and damage by
worms are quite numerous.
Spring wheat harvesting continues in
Northern Minnesota and the DaSotas, but
has been deleSsed by local rains in North
Dakota, where the crop has rpened very

Little Rock, Ark, Aug 24-The discov-
cries of valuable deposits of pearls in the
lakes and rivers in Arkansas have added
greatly to the excitement already existing
over similar discoveries, and to-day the
people are wading through the water in
different parts of the state searching for
the precious gems.
The latest and most sensational discov-
cries were made in the Arkansas river and
the creeks, lakes and bayous near Little
Rock, where pearls have been picked up
ranging in value from so to $500 each.
Hundreds of people are working the Sa-
line, White and other rivers and many
valuable finds have been reported
Additional discoveries were made on the
Foucher river yesterday, and hundreds of
people are swarming to that stream.
A representative of the Arkansas Ca
zette, who has spent much time in inves-
tgating the matter, says there are 81
streams in the state in which are rich
pearls of large size. 1t has now devel-
White river in 1895, that 5000 worth of
pearls were collected by members of the
survey in the course of their duties.
Recent discoveries lead to the. assertion
that never in the history of man were so
many and so large pearls discovered.
Pearls of from thirty to fifty grains in
weight are no uncommon thing to find in
the possession of country lads who fish
for pearls for pastime. The color of the
pearls found is that of a Saline rose and
the texture is first class.
