The Human Engine.

Hollis Godfrey, in the July Atlantic.
 Of all the engines cunningly devised by man not one can equal that masterpiece of construction, the engine of the human frame To run that engine, air is the first necessity Construct it how you will. the greater part of the energy which feeds a power plant Is lost before it reaches the applying machine. The body only has the power of using energy real ly economically and efficiently. Its food Is it's fuel To be available, all the con stituents of that food must be burned. producing heat and power For that burning the oxygeno of the air is essen tial Equally true is it that nitrogen must be present to prevent the rapid combustion which would take place in oxygen alone. But whether the combus- tion be fast or slow. the action Is the same. The body burns the carbon and hydrogen of it's food and L.yes out the oxides of these substances, carbon diox- idle (carbop acid gas) and hydrogen OK idle (water). The water that is formed within the body by the burning Of hy- drogen is of comparatively slight impor- tance in a consideration of the vital ques- tions of the effect of city air upon the individual but the other factor, the car bon dioxde formed in the body, is of di- rect importance.

 "The night was clear with a good breeze blowing steadily northeast. The sun came out bright and warm at 4 o'clock. It had taken much of our sand ballast to keep the bag up at night, but with two sacks left and gas eX- banded by the sun, we decided to un dertake the crossing of Lake Huron and to remain up until late in the evening.
 We sailed well into Canada at 5000 feet altitude but suddenly the bag be- gan descending. Down to 5000 feet. the descent was fairly slow. Tn en Sheol got into the bag and we com pleted our drop in record breaking, bone grinding and fiesh-tearing order.
 "The basket bumped a tree, re- bounded and hurled us against another. From this we were damned into q barbed wire fence, torn to tatters, and passed by a long line of bumps. to some more fences. Suddenly We came to anchor with Captain Peterson's body resting on my bleeding head. We were held prisoners, damned between a fence and the basket and tangled ropes for almost half an hour, while several farmers wrestled with the fighting bag and finally succeeded in getting the gas out of it.
 Captain Peterson has a broken rih and bone-deep cut across a knuckle of his right hand. My left thumb is half severed, and the whole hand lacerated by barbed wire; likewise the right side of my face and my left in- step.'

cally. religiously, commercially-why? degradation has come to them anywhere, they have learned the holy law; phy- sically they have obeyed the great phy- sical laws and they have followed out the scheme of social life and religious ritual which fits in with their worship of a righteous God.
 Obedience to God is not something about which we can afford to please our selves but a matter of life and death; of blessing and curse.
 But if this were all we learn in Deu- teronomy it would not be enough. One other great principle is present. It is the fact of Grace, Power, Inspiration: erThe word Is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart''-that is the message. If obedience Is a matter of the heart, then Israel has the heart to obey, for God is with her, writing His will on her very soul and mind. If obedience is necessary, then also 1t Is possible, natural, splendidly attainable
 And this is true still Away with the idea that any man cannot live right true life. How can he live 1t? Because God is with him. It is the inspiration of God. the coming of God into his soul, that makes it possible and even natural will, to love Him with all his heart, and to devote his life to His service, not as slave. but as a son.
