STRENGTH OF HUMAN JAW.
Weight Needed to Masticate Beef
Said to be Twenty Pounds.

oa'o 10 DC twenty POUNDS.
The crushing power of the Jaw IS
surprising, varying from $50 to 300
pounds. It is also surprising how
much jaw strength is exerted unnec.
essarily by many persons in eating,
often with the result of cracking or
breaking the teeth. They crush their
food with the ferocity ef wild animals.
But direct pressure is poor way of
breaking up most foods, a grinding
movement gives better results with
Jess expenditure of force.
All this has been known for q long
time by Psychologists, but some eX-
periments recently made by DR. los
eph Head of Philadelphia furnish ex.
act figures on this subject, which are
as valuable as they are interesting.
His experiments were conducted by
the use Of real skull After the sub
stance to be crushed had been placed
between the teeth weights were plac-
ed In a suspended pail until the crush.
Ing weight was obtained
These weights are given for large
list of foods and a comparison of tho
figures should be valuable guide in
selecting the diet OF those who are
weak for any reason and need to econ.
omize their strength, also of those
who chew with store teeth"
The first experiment was made with
dry crusts, which broke under Is
pounds pressure. When, however.
the combined crust and soft inside
were tried even go pounds pressure
would not go through the dense mass
When little saliva was added pres
sure Of three pounds was amply suffi-
cient. The deductions with regard 10
fresh bread and thorough mastication
are Obvious. People are sometimes
greatly surprised at having broken A
tooth when they "only bit soft
crust"
Here are a few figures taken from
DR. Heads tables. or course, allow
anee Is TO be made for the fact that
each food, and especially each Kind
OF meat, will vary in reductibllity &C.
cording to quality ard other condi.
tions Consequently these figures
should be taken relatively and not abb
solutely.
The weight needed to reduce corned
beef with the help Of a little grind
ing movement, was 20 pounds; ror
roast beef. 20 to .35 pounds: tough
round" required 3s to AZ pounds; sir.
loin. 10 to 43 pounds; pork chops, 25
to 30 pounds. The lowest on the list
were boiled beef, three pounds; roast
lamb, four pounds; tongue, one-half
pound No mention is made OF hash,
which would undoubtedly stand at
the bottom OF the list.
