What the Heart Does.

This so-ealled most delicate of or.
gans. the most vital, may be Gods
principal handiwork. There are scien-
lists to-day who can make a man,
but they cannot cause his heart to
beat. The human heart Is about 5
by Sh by "a inches in size. It
weighs from 8 to ~ ounces, and its
capacity is from 4 to ounces in each
ventricle. 1t is hollow muscular or
gan. through which passes 22h
pounds of blood every minute. Gaze
on these figures and wonder! Six
teen tons of blood pass through 1t
every "a hours! Do some more think.
ing. 1t beats about II times minute
In a healthy adult man.. Now. think
still harder-in one year 1850 900
pounds of blood pass through the
heart. Such figures stagger hui
manity.

SNOW FALL IS LIGHT
Indications are Water Flow VIII be
Light this Year.

The following is taken fiom the
official report of the U. S, Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Except in the northern end of
the state and in a few localities
elsewhere the snowfall during the
month was very light. Whereas,
at the beginlng of the winter the
supply of snow was relatively small
est in that section, it is now the
greatest. There has been little
wind TO drift the snow into the
imber and into the gulchss. Ol
the other hand, much Of the present
supply fell early in the winter and
has bad ample time in which to
solidity, hence is unusually compact.
Most of the correspondents that
predict a water flow above the
average base their prediction on
this fact rather than on the depth
of the snow. In many localities
the winter Is reported to be the
mildest on record, and the snow fall
the highest for many years, and the
prospect for the next seasons water
flow in the streams used for irriga-
ton Is less encouraging than 1t was
at the close of January. Present
indications point to an average flow
in the upper Snake river, the Payette
river aud the northern streams, and
less than an average flow elsewhere.
