but during great bodily exertion the re-
serve supplies are called into use, the
lungs and heart supply oxygen in in
creased quantity, and each active cell
becomes q miniature blast furnace.
1t is not so very long that this strange
mechanical nature of the living body has
been understood. Until the studies of
Mayer, and Joule and HelmhOltz set
the matter right, 1t was generally be-
heved that some principle of vital force
operated in the living body, and that
ordinary mechanical principles could not
be applied here. The doctrine Of conser-
walton of energy, however, which teaches
that energy can no more be created or
destroyed than matter can be, was be-
lieved by Mayer and Helmholtz to apply
to the animal body as fully as to the rest
of material things, and this contention
has now come to be generally adopted.
But the question had never been put to q
definite experimental test till very re-

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-11-28

Some very curious and novel tests of
the human body as a heat machine have
just been reported by Pros. Atbury and
Rosa. 1t appears that the most i'm
portant function of the human body is
that of furnace. The one thing that it
never ceases doing for an instant, from
the time the individual comes into eX-
istence until he dies, is to burn fuel.
Those varied activities the sum of which
we call life could no more continue were
this consumption of fuel to cease, than
a locomotive could run after its fires
were extinguished. In the one case, as
in the other. it is in the burning of fuel
that all the energy is supplied TO make
motion possible.
The real nature of what we call burn
ing is simply the chemical union of
oxygen with some substance for which
it has chemical affinity. substance
combustible. AS in all other cases WHARF,
a chemical union occurs, there is an
increase of those molecular activities
which constitute what we call heat. and
where combustion takes place rapidly.
this is by far the most obvious and not
able effect of the burning, the materials
involved being commonly raised at once
to a red or even to a white heat. But
this very conspicuous conc0mitant OF
ordinary burning, is really <lly a rel
atiValy non-eSSential detail, for if the
burning takes place more slowly, it may
be just as effectual in the end without
producing a temperature so extreme.
The amount of heat produced is in each

indeed, of producing cyclonic move
ments. From a large number of Obser-
Vatlons made in particular cases, and
from the still more important long
period averages of data obtained at
Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Brit
ish. coast stations. it is established al
most concIusively that where warm
oceanic water has from any cause been
brought into the North sea or the Bal
tic in specially large quantities in au-
tumn, the weather of the following
winter has been marked by an I'M
usually large number Of cyclones and
accompanying mild weather.
If, on the contrary, there is a surplus
age of cold fresh water brought down
by the streams Of the land and dis
tributed over the sea surface, then a
hard, cold winter characteristic of anti
cyclOnic conditions follows, with a dis
placement westward of the true
cyclonic movement. The warm winter
Of 1894 was preceded and accompanied
by the presence of vast quantities of
warm oceanic water in the North sea;
during the intensely cold winter of the
following year CS95), on the other hand,
the southern part Of the North sea was
entirely filed with fresh cold waters,
chiefly derived from the land.
The Importance of these observations
cannot be Overstated, and. while much
yet remains to be accomplished before
extensive practical use can be made of
them, or perhaps earn a hypothesis es-
tabished or proved. there is reason to
believe, with Mrs. Dickson. who has re-
viewed the evidence. that before long a
limited number of observations judi
ciOusly selected as to time and place,
will enable US to forecast with conf
dence. not the weather for a day or a

completed for making a most extended
series Of observations in different parts
of the North Atlantic during 1898. AS
evidence of the interest that is being
taken in these researches, and of the
Importance that is attached to them, it
might be stated that in period of ten
months of the years 1885 upwards

of the product brought together gratu-

examination and analysis. The science

loudly advocating in it's behalf the
study of the entire oceanic surface but
especially that part of it which. in it's
varying conditions is as yet least
