FORK 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. Calculation 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
a foot and an hour or 125 tons in
twenty-four hours. A certain DR.
Richardson once made curious cal
culation in regard to the work per-
formed by the heart in mileage. He
presumed that the blood was forced
out of the heart at each palpitation in
the proportion of sixty-nine strokes a
minute and at the assumed distance
of nine feet. At this rate the flow Of
the blood through the body would be
POI yards minute, or seven miles an
hour. This would make 40 miles
day, or 81, 900 miles year. Thus in
a lifetime of eighty-four years the
blood in the human body would travel
over 100000 miles. The number of
beats of the heart required to send the
blood that far would be over 5000, ,O00,-
900.

MIDNIGHT FIRE At M'G|LL

Rumor which get in circulation
shortly after midnight through tel
ephone message sent by an excited in-
dividual at McGill, 70 the effect that
the concentrator was burning and
other buildings and structural work
threatened, occasioned a good deal
of early morning excitement.
About / o'clock, however, tele-
phone communication with the smell
ter office was secured through the
1ownsite company Office by Mr.. Sui
livan and the information received
that the fire which was burning was
confined to an oil house near the
railroad depot and that it was under
control.
A little later Manager Cannon of
the Nevada Northern, who had heard
the rIlmor and with Superintendent
Duddleyson Immediately gone to the
railroad yard to get out a special
train, communicated with the smelter
and confirmed the report received by
Mr.. Sullivan.
In the meantime the fire bell had
been rung in Ely and alarm given in
Ely City, with the result that the
fire departments of the towns We're
ready to go on special to McGil
and render whatever assistance pos
sible. The trip was made unneces-
sary by the information noted above.
The fire at the oil house was dis
covered about II o'clock but had
such start at that time that it was
impossible to stop it. The flame it
sent up lit the sky brightly and gave
support to the rumors of a big fire
raging. Origin of the fire has not
yet been determined. The amount
of oil in the storage tank was not
large. Beside it's loss and that sus.
tanned in a couple of small sheds and
some slight damage to a small
amount of machinery stored on ties
preparatory to moving from the de.
pot, no other damage was done.
An abundance of water was avail.

made during the day with the new

However, with the character of fire
that was there to contend with, water
was of no use except in preventing
spread of the flames. For this pur
pose it was used successfully.
The rumor that the concentratol
was on fire spread dismay through
out the town. It's correction at
later hour brought, however, an ap
peasing amount of joy. Everybod,

the suicide was compelled to double
his knees in order to get sufficient
tension on the rope to slowly strangle
to death. The man had been dead
only a short time when found
On Sunday morning Mr.. Anderson
noticed Burkman about the stable
yard, and spoke to him, but noticed
nothing unusual in his manner.
About o'clock Mr. Anderson had
occasion to go into the stable, and
as he entered he saw what he thought
| to be dummy hanging at the south
ern end OF the building. He went to
| cut it down, but when he drew near
| found the supposed dummy to be the
| lifeless body of Burkman.

oner Stern also found a letter dated
Novem ber 29th, requesting that Chris
Smith act as minstrator of his es-
| tate. Letters from brother at Sa-
