Maj. Woodruff these produce sunburn and

They hasten ard stimulate the growth Of

ease the pain Of burns rheumatism. etc
A continuous bombardment of these rays
which are strongest when the summer is
most intense, results in more less of

provided the negro with an armor of black

Late in March the pair bade farewell to
the North Springs river and went to the
Pesos river. En- route they stopped at

days. weeks or months.
This journey was attended with more

husband and wife set out on their trip.
With an outfit wagon and fine team they
crossed the famous ''Staked Plains" En-
tirely alone, save for a guide, the pair rode
for days without meeting a human being.
1t was eight days from the time of the
start before they encountered a party of
cowboys, who could not conceal their sur
prise at the idea of woman with courage
enough to submit to the kind of exposure
that was severe enough TO tax man.
Food and drink were difficult problems on
this long ride. The wagon was stocked
with a supply of canned provisions, but

Worse than the difficulty of getting fresh
meat was the constant trouble of finding
water. At times they were forced to drink

physiological chemists at the
- Storrs experiment station Middle
town. Conn, are making some in
teresting discoveries concerning the effects
OF summer heat upon the human organism
This hermetically-sealed cell and Its in
genius equipment has been constructed
with funds granted partly by the United
States Department of Agriculture and
partly by the Carnegie Institution of Wash
ington.
Weather can be artificially manufactured
within the cell to any desired degree Of
heat, humidity or carbonic acid gas content.
The little prison has walls of copper, insu-
lated with air spaces and thicknesses of va
rious other materials. Every ounce of fuel
admitted to the digestion furnace of the
prisoner inside is weighed and analysed.
This fuel. which we vulgarly call food. in
cludes principally nitrogen. carbon. hydro
gen, oxygen, sulphur and PHOSPHORUS. All
of the heat energy and gases generated as
these materials are burned in the digestive
furnace are measured. as are the smoke and
ashes, so to speak, given off as waste The
total of all these products given off Is
cleverly subtracted from the total of the
original fuel supplied, and the rate OF &C
tuai consumption is thus estlmat ted to a
nicely. To determine the use to which the
retained fuel elements put the tenant
of the cell is harnessed up to perform diff
ferent tasks
The heat which radiates from him when
he works at high or low pressure Is meas
ured by very delicate piece of apparatus.
Inside the cell are radiators through which
is passed a continuous current of cold wa
ter that constantly absorbs the heat given
off by the prisoner This current passes
out through complicated thermometers
which register to the hundredth of a degree
the amounts of heat carried with it from
the mans body. They measure the precise
increase of heat resulting from even so
slight an exertion rising from a chair
stretching out an orm turning over in
bed.
All food is passed in and out through
valves which allow only known amounts of
air to enter or escape when this stocking
of the digestion furnace takes place. A
ventilatng current pumped through the cell
supplies the prisoner with air of any de-
sired quantity, and this upon leaving the
box passes through apparatus that removes
and measures sthe carbonic acid water va
por and other products given off not only
by the lungs. but by the skin pores.
Enough fresh oxygen to compensate for
that found to have been burned in the di-
gestion furnace of the prisoner Is contin-
ually added to the incoming current of air,
and this carefully measured circulation con-
tinues throughout the experiment. Thus
the smoke and gas. so to speak, of the hu-
man furnace are gauged.

| in the cell receive sentences Of from two
| to four days, and some are sent DOWN
or sent up" If you will-for tel-day
terms. All of them sleep quietly at night
and throughout each day follow definite
program drawn up In advance by Mr.. F. G.
Benedict, the chemist, who serves as chief
warden. But these jailbirds enjoy an ad-
vantage over those condemned to the less
scientific jails in that they are allowed to
communicate - the outsiSe word by tele-
phone it having not been suspected as yet
that the electric fluid dsturbs the eQui-
| librium of the made-to- order climate to any
appreciable extent.
Since this artificial weather can be given
any desired percentage Of heat, humidity,
oxygen. carbonic acid gas, etc, the effects
of various natural climates upon the body
upon its fool requirements and pow5rs to
produce useful work-can be, and is being,
for the first time accurately determined as
is the precise degree Of ventilation de-
manded by persons of various occupations.
The apparatus also measures the effects
of feasting and fasting, rest and sleep. ex-
ercise inactivity upon the food require
ments in different seasons 1t notes the
exact effects of weather conditions upon
the comfort and well-being Of man. When
the experiments are finished we will know
exactly how much heat the body receives
from an ounce of this food of that; how
much faster we lose the heat in this or that
weather; and. therefore, how much less OF
this or that food we should eat under dl1-
ferent weather conditions. We viii even
know what textures of clothing and bed
covering keeps cooler in summer and
warmer in winter. One result of the ex-
periments arrived at thus far is a demon
stration that ill-ventilated rooms are made
unwholesome not so much by large quanti-
ties of carbonic acid gas as by vapors from
the body. The published results Of the
experiments will contain many more sur
prises for scientists and the public.
