concentrated in a single effort, would en-
able him to support on his chest a block
Of iron weighing nearly 1000 pounds,
while the amount of air used by the in
spirations and expirations would be suf-
ficient to fill a balloon Of $50 cubic feet
capacity.
The heart is just as powerful as the
lungs, and the amount of energy it devel-
ops is simply astounding. During the
"a hours this vital engine produces ener-
gy aggregating 12O foot tons, or. in other
words, power sufficient to raise Sc, 900
pounds one foot from the earth, and it
requires but a little calculation to show
that during the day this little pump of
nerves and muscles does the work Of
eight cart horses. A similar amount OF
energy exerted at one would enable a
mar to stand on shore and drag three
600-tons ships at a speed of six knots, or
to carry 1000 pounds or coal to the top
of a tower $50 feet high.
Such comparisons could be carried on
indefinitely, but these are sufficient to
prove that there is nothing more wonder
fully constructed OF powerful than this

GERMAN KAISER'S AMAZON GUARD

Battle Creek Journal: When Emperor
William goes to enjoy the hunting season
in Prussia, which he will do as soon as
TIE yachting season closes, he will be re-
ceived by a regiment of 500 cavalry WO-
men. They are Lithuanian girls and are
now organizing to receive the kaiser. The
regiment will be known as the imperial
mOunte women volunteers, and of a
more unique body of troops no sovereign
in the world can boast.
The homes of these cavalry amazons
are in the district which lies far in the
north of the empire, between the Baltic,
Russia and Poland. They are of the race
that became famous under the Jagel-
Ions.
The idea of forming a regiment is one
which the Lithuanian girls originated
themselves. When they made their pro-
position to the officials of their province
they said:
I'VE make one c~ondition-our duke
(meaning the kaiser) m u have no other
body guard. During the time of his stay
in our country we want to be his SOL
diers. We will garrison his castle, will
beat the game for him. will attend him
on his trips around the country, and see
him safely home when he decides to re-
turn"
Count Bismarck communicated with
the emperor's court marshal to find out
whether the offer would prove accepta-
BILE. The court marshal wrote:
1T all depends on the girls. Go and
look them over"
So his excellency invited his fair petit
TONERS to meet him at Trakehnen, the
celebrated horse farm, and at the same
time arranged with the governor of the
place for the use of a hall. But if the
hall had been as big as Madison Square
garden it couldn't have accommodated
the assembly, for every one of the 600
volunteers came O N horseback, many
bringing led horses. and all insisted upon
attending the council seated on their
chargers.
There was an open-air meeting then,
and Count Bismarck. who is already a
little stiff in his joints, had to mount u
blooded horse, despite his rheumatism,
and make a speech from the saddle.
President Hegel of the Gumbinnen dis
trict translated the address into the old
Pruss!an tongue, for the Lithuanians do
not understand German. and an exchange
of views followed, with this result:
1.-THE provincial government accepts
the services of the Lithuanian women.

$50 pounds from 80 to IS pounds are sim
pie water. this being enough to fill a key
holding 91a gallons. This water has a
large number of uses, but the main pur-
pose is somewhat curious. The greater
part of the bone and fat that make up
the body are what might be termed life
less tissue. The substance that makes
the body. alive is protoplasm, which ex-
lists in the shape of millions of minute
globules. These globules could no more
live out of water than could a shoal of
fish. The more water there is in the body
the more vigorous is the life-without it
nothing could be done.
from is another substance that has an
important part to play. for without it the
oxygen could not pass from the lungs to
the remote parts Of the body. The amount
of iron in evidence, however, is very
small, scarcely more than As grains, or
about enough to make four or five good
sized tacks.
Ordinary table salt. which is a mix
ture Of sodium and gaseous chlorine, is
quite necessary to the welfare of the
body, it being found in both fluid and
solid substances. In spite of this, how

DEAD BEATS.

"You would be surprised" said a hotel
clerk the other night. ito know how
many schemers, fakirs, small promoters
and curbstone brokers use our corridors
and reading rooms as offices. They make
all their appointments here, and when
a prospective victim turns up they head
him into a quiet corner and transact their
business as comfortably as they could in
a suite in an Office block. There's an old
chap by the door who has been using the
house as his w for several years, and
to my certain knowledge he has never
spent a penny under its roof. He has
several agencies and patent rights, and
now and then he succeeds in getting q
farmer on the string. The c~ountryman
supposes, of course, that he lives here.
and is duly impressed by his surround
lngs. The old fellow takes him into the
writing room, n if it isn't quiet enough
I'll ere he doesn't hesitate to adjourn to
one of the p~arlors. That's no unusual
c use, either. During the fore part of
last carnival week one of these
ers actually took possession of a private
parlor with a couple of clients, and
barred out a number of guests until they
could conclude their conference Fore

cium. phosphorus, iron, sulphur, sodium,
potassium, silicon and magnesium. In
some people traces of other substances,
such as "copper", aluminium, ~ngane
lead mercury, arsenic and lithium may
be found, but in such cases the unusual
substances may be regarded as %trespass-
ers.
The amount of oxygen that is con-
tanned in a human body is something
~prodigious. In a 150-pound man it is no
less than 106 pounds, and if it should be
set free it's bulk would be equal to a beam
OF wood one foot square and nearly 81
quarter of a mile long. If measured by
the gallon it would fill 2O2 barrels, each
holding Sc gallons. Thus it can be seen
that the oxygen represents many times
the bulk of the body itself.
While the hydrogen is much lighter
thar the oxygen it is much more bulky,
enough being contained in each 15O-
pound man to initiate a balloon large and
strong enough to lift himself. balloon and
tackle included. OF nitrogen there is also
enough to make 20 times the bulk of the
body, but the other gases are represented
IN smaller amounts.

CAPTURED THE HEART OF A PI-
RATE.

New York Sun: In the village burying
ground at Henniker, N. H., may be seen
standing among a dozen slabs of like
design a small slate stone, whose inscrip-
ton, in common with the others, in no
manner suggests that the story of the
one in whose memory it was set was diff
ferent from the ordinary affairs of the
hillside pioneer.
1t is the grave Of Ocean Mary. 1t was
years and years ago that the baby mas
cot of the sea won a pirates heart.
Previous to 1920, the year in which the
principal events of this narrative oc-
antry crossed the North Channel and
found for a time homes in the larger
towns on or near the coast of Ireland.
Thus Londonderry became the residence
of a large number of Scotch yeomanry.
In those old times of slow ships and
man perils of the sea, it was a far cry
from Londonderry in Ireland to London
derry in the granite state; still Scotland
and the Emerald isle had already sent
sturdy pioneers to the new world on the
Merrimac.
Tradition, often the truer part of his
tory. has failed to save from oblivion the
name of the ship which sailed from Lon
donderry for Boston in July, 1920, but
she is said to have been in many respects
vastly superior to others of her class in
those times. AT any rate, long before
she dropped anchor off the picturesque
coast, many well-to-do families had pre-
pared for the long voyage. OF those
who from the deck of the departing ship
watched the green shores Of Ireland fade
from view a large proportion were not
only strong of limb, but thrifty n prov
ident.

on by the agents. chiefly foreigners, who
assist these men. The first essential is
a passport, and this is generally forged.
1t is known that 1000 men weekly, on
their way to the frontier, pass through
Vienna aolne, and as most of these are
young men, it is calculated that during
the year at least 10000 men of those who
SO pass are escaping from military SER
vice. Most of these go to America,
where. it is believed, there are at present
over 100, 900 men who should be in the
Austria-Hungarian army or reserves. On
one occasion at the mobilization of a
body of reserves, out of 5000 men only
! 800 appeared; the greater part of the
$500 had succeeded in escaping to Amer
