Heat in the Body.

An important source of heat in the
body is due to the friction of the blood
as it circulates in it's 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 $50
ccs. Of blood are expelled from the left
ventricle at each stroke, under a pres
sure of one third of an atmosphere, this
would correspond to .6192 kilogramme-
metres at each stroke, and at y strokes
a minute, this would give 44.3124 kilo-
grammemetres per minute. If we sup
pose that the right heart does one-quar-
ter the work 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 a 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 simultaneous construction of the
capillaries. which would naturally give
rise to a considerable production of
heat-a fact constantly observed.-San-
itarian

One effect of the great changes when
have taken place in modern warfare,
and especially the improvement in the
destructive power Of modern gunnery,
is the abandonment of the use of colors
in the armies of Europe. Lord Wolseley
pointed out this the other day when he
presented set of the colors Of the cele
brated regiment, the Sixty-fourth foot,
to be placed upon the walls of cathe-'
dral In the wars of the future the sol.
diers will have to draw their inspira'
ton from something else than the regi
mental colors. This, too, will do away
with the brave and useful officer, the
color sergeant, for, as the English gen
eral Gays, it would be madness and
crime to order a man in a war nova
days to carry the colors into the battle.
Every color so displayed would be shot
away at the first fire and it's bearer
killed. The German army, while dis
carding the colors themselves, has still
retained the poles upon which the flags
once waved, but these have to be car
ried so as not to be seen by the enemy.
This, it would seem, could be of little
service to their own soldiers 1t takes

The reported chloroforming of three
adults and two children by burglars in
an English town, in order that the
house might be robbed, is looked upon
by medical journals with some incredu-
lity. 1t is said that the victims knew
nothing Of the presence of the robbers
until they awoke late the next day and
found that the house had been looted.
This is the point which raises the
doubts Of the medical experts. They
hold that it would be next to impossible
for the robbers to have accomplished
this without disturbing the slumbers OF
their victims. Scientists have tried
with poor success to place sleeping pa
tients under the influence Of chloroform
without disturbing them. Dolbear is
said to have only succeeded in the eX-
pertinent with ten persons out of total
of twenty-nine whom he treated. Ihls
was when a trained scientist worked
with the greatest care. Physicians say
that it is rarely, except in the case or
infants. that the chloroforming Of sleep
ing persons is successful. That burg
lars unframed in the use of anaesthet-
les should succeed so completely as ID
this case seems most improbable.

Atlanta Journal: The city boy grows
up in a contracted space. The square
upon which he lives is his world, the
little things of earth he despises, and
he begins to burn the candle of exist
ence too soon. For him there is little
opportunity for the display of sterling
manhood OF the enjoyment of life in it's
relation to nature. The country boy is,
from the first, child of necessity, and
early learns the lesson of how to make
ends meet. The ways and means of life
is hard and effective school from
which to graduate. The pupils therein
cannot sit down with folded hands and
wait for help, but they must help them
selves, and at once. The broad fields
give scope to the mind and strength to
the heart-the country boy is man at
10, though he does not know it, and at
20 he stands young giant, while his
city cousin is the dyspeptic victim OF
vile cigarettes and bad hours.

Constant Shifting.

Oculists say that one of the common
est affections of the eye is produced by
continuous riding in street cars. The
seats run lengthwise, and therein lies
the difficulty. Some day as you are
riding down town watch the ewes of
the man across from you. He is gaz-
ing out of the window, possibly reading
the signs of the business houses lust to
kill time. First his eyes glance ahead
of the car, fall on the sign, and as the
car passes by his eyes turn back. Then
they shoot ahead again. This constant
shifting of the eye is very rapid if a
passenger watches the people on the
sidewalk. In half an hours ride his
eyes will have twltched back and forth
with continuity that brings on ia
tigue. But he keeps it up to the end of
the ride, and later in the afternoon
wonders why his eyes are weak and
tired

A Favorite Abiding Place.

In little English village there is q
bakers shop over the door of which is
the following inscription: "One piece
of bread, to be eaten on the premises
given to any one passing through
Broughton direct until 10 p. m" This
extraordinary sign-board was affixed
to the shop some years ago by Sawrey
Cookson, of Broughton Tower, who re
coups the baker for the bread which he
disposes of in this singular way. As
may be expected, the shop is favorite
halting place for tramps and artisans
out of work, who are making their way

Some men in Chicapo arc ,or,-;n ,

Some men in Chicago are working I'D
on an umbrella" sail which they pro.
pose to experiment with upon small
sailing craft. This sail was tried at the
Cowes regatta and made a sensation
among the sailors of yachts. Scientists
and navigators believe that with GER
tain notifications this sail will be made
to take the place of the ordinary can
vas article manipulated by ropes. The
new sail resembles a Japanese umbrel-
la, and its upper edge is secured near
the top Of the mast with blocks and
halyards and the main sheet is fasten-
ed at some distance from the bottom Of
the sail. The shape may be changed at
will to suit the occasion by opening or
shutting it just as though it were ar
umbrella. 1t can be adapted to the
ease or violence of the wind with much
more facility than the ordinary sail.
Not only landlubbers but expert sailors
have long thought tha: there could be
improvements made in the present
manner Of handling sail ships. The old
method of sails has always seemed
very clumsy and uncertain, and maybe
this umbrella arrangement will SIM
plify and make much safer the haad-
ling Of small boats.

There is no great loss without some
gain. The depression Of the past year
has been accompanied by a noteworthy
diminution of immigration from the
Old World. The completed returns Of
the arrival Of immigrants in the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1897, show that
one hundred and eighty thousand, in
round numbers, landed in America.
This was smaller number than in any
previous year since 1879. The num-
ber was less by one hundred and sixty
two thousand than in the fiscal Snar
ended June 80, 1896, and nearly hun.
dred thousand less than in 1895, which
was reckoned year of small immigra-
ton. AS compared with the immigra-
ton for 1892, which was more than six
hundred and twenty-three thousand,
the figures for last year are indeed
small. They represent, however, a
large mass in the aggregate; and the
fact that among them there were about
thirty-eight thousand, not including
young children, who could neither read
nor write, shows that the immigration
was larger than it should have been by
at least that figure. Until suc;. litter
ate immigrants are definitely Excluded,
our immigration laws will certainly be
in defective state. The total amount
of money brought into the country by
immigrants, presumably to be expend-
ed here, is commonly spoken of as con-
tuting new element of wealth for the
country. The immigrants of 1897
brought with them a total amount n
trifie in excess of six hundred and sew
enty thousand dollars. This is a re-
spectacle sum, but as it amounts to
less than four dollars to each immi-
grant. it will be seen that the line
which separates them rs a whole from
destitution on their arrival Is very mar
row. Moreover, it is highly probable
that more money was sent out of the
country, earned here, to bring these
immigrants. than they brought with
them, in which case the balance of the
account is on the wrong side Of our
ledger after all.
