Human Energy Expenses.

Are men more expensive than
machines? According to the re-
searches of Fisher. the latent calori-
fic enemy stored in the foot absorb
ed by the adult man is 5000 to $500
calorices of heart. A notable part
Of the energy is used within the
body for determining animal activi-
ty, respiration. digestion, etc. The
excess may be expended in mechani-
cal work. A day of eight hours aver
age and continuous work is equiva-
lent to:a work of $4,000 kilogram-
me-meters or 300 calories, or a little
less than one-half horsepower. I'm
der these conditions the cost price
of 100 horse power may be thus cal
culated: Man, $50 workmen at
francs; per day $50 francis; horse
power, ten horsepower, all expenses
included. 60 francs; engine, steam,
5 francis; engine; gas, $50 francs.
Human motive force. in France at
least, is therefore 100 times dearer
than mechanical motive force.

Made the Bear Word.
tBoston Herald


Bill Winters is one of the heroes
who uses his wit to save his strength.
During a camping trip in the Maine
woods Bill was early the LATEST man
in the party.
Finally his exasperated comrades
told him that if he did not kill some
thing besides they would pack him
off home.
The next morning Bill borrowed a
rifle and went off up the mountain.
Two hours later the men in camp
saw Bill running down again as fast
he he could come, and close behind
him was a bear. The men watched
the chase with loaded rifles ready.
On reaching camp Bill turned and
ahot the bear.
When the men could stop Laughing
one of them said: "Bill, what on
earth possessed you to run that dis
lance, with the bear so close when
you might have killed him on the hill
and saved your BREATH"
Bill smiled slowly. Whats the
use of killing a bear in the noun
tains and Juggling him in when you
can run him in?" he asked.
