PAPERS SIGNIFICANTLY
SILENT ABOUT PEACE.

st. Petersburg, March 31.-The
newspapers to-day are so significantly
silent about peace reports from
abroad that it leads TO the inference
that they have been warned by the
government of the inadvisability Of
airing their views at this time. Those
papers which have been favoring
peace say nothing, while the small
section Of the press which has been
insisting on q combination OF the var
contents itself with the reproduction
of articles from foreign newspapers
showing that peace now means the

MAN AS AN ENGINE.
He Runs With Less Waste Than Any
Engine Yet Devised.


ITO test the efficiency of a man as
an engine" says the Boston Herald.
professor Atwater Of Wesleyan uni
versity has been engaged recently in
making some remarkable experiments,
employing a stationary bicycle as a
means Of measuring the power devel-
oped by a muscular rider.
by the simple eXpeuient Of making
the tire Of the rear Whcel-the cycle
has no front Wheel--paSS between two
electro magnets which are connected
with a dynamo all OF the energy trans
mitted to the pedals is converted into a
current of electricity. This current
can be measured, and thus it is ascer-
tanned exactly how much power is ELL
ployed.
THE rider operates his wheel inside
Of a great box Of wood lined with met
al. He is not permitted to leave the
box for several days and nights, and
all of his food and drink are carefully
weighed. In this way the amounts Of
engine are accurately ascertained, and
the total energy which they represent
can be easily figured out.
las a result of the experiment it has
been found that man is a much bet
ter engine than locomotive, yielding
ell amount Of fuel. He is superior in
this respect to the best and most eco
nonical pattern of automobile. In
fact, no kind of engine as yet contrived
steam, gasoline or electric-1s equal
to him as a producer of energy.
professor Atwater says that the
most economical engine built today
utilities, in the shape Of work, only Is
per cent of the energy contained in
the fuel supplied to it. The human
power machine develops 20 per cent
without counting what is required to
keep the internal mechanism of the
body running OF course it takes con-
siderable power to keep the heart
pump going and the digestive appara
tus in operation. To reckon the ex-
penditure for these and other functions
at an additional 20 per cent would not
be over the mark.
"Thus it is seen that the human en-
CINE runs with much less waste than
any mechanical contrivance yet de-
vised. Man stands today the model
machine, and, with all his Wanted in
genuity, he cannot construct an appa-
ratus that comes near to equaling his
own body as a work producer, nor,
indeed, will any other kind Of engine,
though built of the besr obtainable
materials, run for anything like so
long a period without wearing out, re-
curing in the same time so small an
expenditure for repairs"
