The Turkish MangaI.

In most of the houses in Constanti- nople as well as in other cities of Fur key heating in winter is done by means of the so called ''mangai." This con sists principally of a receptacle for burning charcoal. A mangal may be nothing else than such a simple brass or iron receptacle or may be quite an artistic and expensive article of most rare and valuable workmanship. The charcoal is first thoroughly burned through, and when it no longer emits any flame or odor the mangal Is brought into the room for purposes of heating. Sometimes 1t happens that proper attention is not paid to the burning charcoal, with not infrequent fatal results.

Foree Exerted by the Heart.

The force exerted by the heart equals 120 tons lifted one foot In other words. the work of the heart Is equiv aient to raising its own weight 10000 feet in one hour. A strong man can raise himself but 1000 feet in an hour This enormous force, if exerted by the heart through a fixed rigid pipe. would shoot the blood along with each jerk at rate of 200 feet a second. How ever. the arteries, being elastic, are distended by the jerk or beat of the heart. and when the heart pauses after the beat the contraction of the arteries sends the blood along in a steady non intermittent flow, which averages about one foot a second.
