Work of the Heart

FEW stop to consider the amount of labor
performed daily by the human heart. The
inexhaustible supply of energy displayed by
this overworked organ is marvellous. Cacu-
lation has shown that the work of the heart
of an average person is equal to the feat of
lifting over five tons at the rate of foot an
hour, or one hundred and twenty-five tons
in twenty-four hours.
A certain DIR. Richardson once made a
curious calculation in regard to the work
performed by the heart in mileage. He pre-
sumed that the blood was forced put of the
heart at each palpitation in the proportion
of sixty-nine strokes minute, and at the
assumed distance of nine feet. At this rate
the flow of the blood through the body
would be two hundred and seven yards a
minute, or seven miles hour. This would
make one hundred and seventy miles a
day, or sixty-one thousand miles a year.
Thus in lifetime of eighty-four years the
blood in the human body would travel over
five million miles. The number of beats of
the heart required to send the blood that
far would be over three thousand million.

FACTS ABOUT
THE BODY
Why We Yawn

VAWNING is caused by temporary de-
L fciency of the air supply in the lungs.
When the body is weary or sleepy the respi-
ration is sometimes Involuntary eust ended for
a moment. Nature comes to the rescue and,
setting up a spasmodic action in the muscles
of the mouth, throat, and chest, causes deep
inspiration which is known as yawn. Some
times when a person yawns Others who are
present yawn also through an involuntary
tendency to imitation.

COUNT TRIES BRIBERY.

Count Raggio, one of the richest in
dustrial barons of Italy, friend of the
King and the royal ministers, and chief
purveyor of railway necessities, has been
caught at the game of trying to defeat
public ownership by bribery. He not
only paid number of newspapers to
agitate against the idea, but hired Off
Gals of the existing state railways to
neglect their duty and engage in various
other manipulations to bring the service
into disrepute. The officials were bribed
to accumulate freight cars in out of the
way places, to derail trains, squander
the coal and neglect the rolling stock to
a disgraceful degree. Several of the
bribed men confessed. and unless he
spends lot more money to bride the
Judges, the noble count may go to jail.
He repeatedly had the honor of enter
tanning the King and Queen in his pal
aces. His annual income from the state
was enormous.

asked. When the beard was braided it
reached only to Louis knees. "Still too

up his hirsute appendages and placed
them under his blouse. Everything is
lovely now in the foundry.
Long boards are hereditary in the

POPE INSISTS UPON COLLECTING
FROM NOBLE PRINCES TO sue
COR THE POOR.

The Princes of Borghese, Ludovici,
Piombino, Massimo and Others have
been informed by the papal minister of
state that unless they pay back, with
legal interest, the sums they borrowed
from Popes Pho Mono and Leo XIII, he
will Immediately sue them.
This is the third and final notice
served upon the noble gentlemen, who
for many years depleted the papal treas
ury on various pretexts without intend
ing to pay back.
"The Holy Father has vowed to de-
vote the amount of loans, made at vari-
Gus times by his predecessors, to charity.
His poor need the money, and it must be
forthcoming, without further evasion or
delay" wrote Cardinal Merri del Val.

innovations. He will make test case,
it is said, of a noble Marquis who per-
suaded Pope Leo to loan him $4,000
francs on q note which he persistently
refused to pay, though well able to do so.
The Pope has no doubt that he will be
able to collect from the Marquis, and if
this does not brighten the rest of the
blue-blooded blacklegs, they will be pro-
ceeded against in short order.

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY.

Details of the extraordinary means
employed to print $4,000 copies of the
Organ of the Council of Workmen, were
furnished by Mr.. Suworin of st. Peters
burg, proprietor of the conservative
daily Nowoje Wremja.
| AT p. m.," said the editor, "only
three members of the technical staff and
the business manager were in the Office,
seeing that there was no hope of issuing
the paper on account of the strike. A
number of young men came to the JAM
tors lodge and demanded to see the man
ager. They were conducted to his pri-
vate office. "Send the janitor away and
forbid him to make an cutlery if he
values his life," commanded the visitor,
likewise order the men in the press
room to abstain from interfering or lis.
tening." Seeing that resistance would
be useless, the manager did as he was
hidden, and asked what the men were
up to.
".'We are going to print the seventh
number of the Call to Revolution on your

said the stranger, in matter of fact
tone.
"The manager asked permission to
consult me by phone. IF you say sin

is liable to balk our scheme, you are

"Ihe business manager pleaded that

"The police heard of the outrage some
six hours after the revolutionists had

cured snake bites when called in time.
In such cases he enlarged the wound,
