Bulk for Bulk, the Former Are the

Few people know that a man, bulk
for bulk, is stronger than an OK, but
it appears that such is the case. The
matter was tested not long since at a
fair In America, one Of the attractions
Of which was a contest of a yoke OF
oxen against an equal weight Of men.
A drag was loaded with granite blocks,
weighing in the aggregate 1883
pounds The yoke Of oxen that made
the trial weighed 1920 pounds, and
twenty men, allowing 160 pounds to
the man, were set against them. The
men took hold of the drag first, and
easily walked off with it, covering
distance OF 50 feet in the space OF two
minutes The oxen at their trial moved
only eighty-flye feet in the same length
of time, and the men were accordingly
declared winners. Pearson's Weekly.
