a REArEn FACE.
The Feat That Made William N
Whiteley Famous.

Whiteley Famous.
In the early days Of the exploitation
of various rcaping machines q field
demonstration. usually competitive,
was Il necessary occurrence. IL. n.
Casson in THE Romance of the Reap
err tells the following story of William
n. Whiteley. the C~ha-lcmagne of the
harvest field:"
Ee vas as tall as Il sapling and as
strong as Il tree. AS a professor in the
great school of agriculture he has new
err been surpassed. He could Outtalh.
outwork and generally outwit the men
who We're sent against him. He was Il
whole exhibition in himself.
I've seen Bill Whiteley racing his
horses through the grain and leaning
over with his long arms to pick the
mice,s nest; from Just in front OF the
knife" said an old Ohio settler.
The feat th1t first made Whitley Ia
nous was performed at jamestown.
O.. in 1867. His competitor was DOING
as good work rs he was, Whereupon IL.
snrans from his seat, unhitched one
horse and finished his course with !:
single surprised "tred pulling the heavy
machine.
His competitor followed >ult and sue

This ~enru&rl Whitley, who 1t that
time was as powerful as a yogn@ lee,
cules.
Il can itr.. that reaper myself" be
shouted. turning his second horse IG0s,
AMI yo!.iu& his h!G shoulders INTO the
harness
Such a thing had never been Gone be-
fore ang. l2s never been done since,
but Il IS tr'e that in the passion Of the
moment Whiteley was filled with such
strength that he ran the reaper from
one side of the field to the other. cut
ting 4 full svath, Il deed that, had he
done it in ancient Greece. would have
placed him among the immortals.
That ten minutes in a horse collar
made 100000 for Whitley. His an
tagon!st. benjamin II. Warden, was
tillel with admiration for Whiteley's
proWess and at once proposed that they
should quit fighting and work in har-
mony.
Give me The right to make your
reaper. and I'll pay you So apiece for
all l can sell" said Warder.
Its a bargain" responded Whitley.
n so there arose the first consolida-
ton in the harvester business.

WHEN Fasting IS FATAL.
Loss Of Weight Below a Certain Point
Brings Death.

Brings Death.
During u long fast the daily loss Of
weight becomes gradually less and less.
Death comes when the total loss has
reached a certain percentage, which
percentage varies with the original
weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight. thinner ones perhaps two
fifths.
A man or woman Of rather spare
habit. weighing 143 pounds. could.
therefore, lose about fifty-ive pounds
before ~succumbing. Heart action. res
piration and blood pressure remain un-
altered during starvation. but the tenn
perature of the body falls nearly Il de.
gree in most cases. The secretion Of
gastric juice ceases. but saliva and bile
are still formed. The duration of life
depends upon the extent and activity
Of the physiological processes.
Children die after Il fast of from
three to five days. during which they
ave lost a quarter of their weight.
Healthy adults. however. have tasted
sixty days when water has been taken.
A German physician notes the case
of Il woman. aged forty-seven. who
died after a fast Of forty-three days,
during which she drank water freely.
Her weight, which was 143 pounds a
year before her death. was reduced to
ninety-nine pounds. 1t was a case of
suicidal melancholia. and the woman
patiently carried out her horrible un-
dertaking s quietly rs to scarcely at
