Force Exerted by the Heart.

The force exerted by the heart equals
12O tons lifted one foot. In other
words, the work of the heart is equiv
a1ent to raising it's 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 a rate of 200 feet 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 steady nom
intermittent flow, which averages
about one foot second.

UNCLE SAM As uNDERrAkER.
Buried a Man Who Was Murdered on
Site OF New Post Office

IT is not often that the United
States government plays the role of
undertaken. but II did so q few days
ago IN Macon, Ca, says the Baltimore
American. Two laborers employed on
the new post office under construc-
tion in that city got into fight last
week and one of them was fatally
shot The premises on which the
tragedy occurred being government
property, the municipal authorities de-
clined to remove the body and pre-
pare 1t for burial, on the theory that
It might prove embarrassing sometime
In the future to compllcate local af-
fairs with those distinctly federal.
The custodian In his quandary tele-
graphed to the treasury department,
stated the situation and asked for
instructions. He was directed to re-
move the remains, inter them and
send the bill to the department. He
followed instructions, and the Other
day rendered the bill, which amounted
to STA, among the specified items be-
ing one of five dollars FOR carriage
for the widow" Accompanying the
bill was a letter narrating In detail
the circumstances of the case and
containing the following somewhat
startling paragraph: II am inclosing
voucher for burial OF man who was
murdered in the building under my
charge in accordance with your in
structions and authority in telegram
dated 18th inst" One not familiar
with the circumstances might feel
justified in assuming that the murder
was perpetrated under the directiol
of the treasury, but the officials sior
emnly affirm that they were not aer
cessories before the fact and tn
there was no conspiracy to assa i

People Of Planet HoardIng Every Drop
Of Water.

While the people on the planet OF
Mars are supposed to be vastly super

have only about 100000 more years
TO live. while the people of this world
are only beginning their allotted
space of 24,0O0,000 years.

professor says, and even now 1t is dry
time perpetually up there. Most OF
the waters that once covered every.
thing have vanished in the same way

hydrogen, one of the two components
of water This process has proceeded
so far on Mars that most of the liquid
refreshment OF its inhabitants, assum-
ing IL has such, is confined to narrow
circles about the two poles. IL Is
made available for the uses OF the
Martians only by means of an intrl-
cate network of canals.

with our own eyes race of vast an
tlquity and supreme wisdom. clinging
