Our Wonderful Bodies.

The mechanism of the human body
is the most complicated and perfect
in existence. There is no movement
known to engineers which does not
exist in our bodies. The muscles
alone number 500, and the aliment-
a"y canal measures about 80 feet.
The heart is six inches in length
and four inches in diameter, and
beats 70 times a minute, 4,200 an
hour, 100,S00 times a day. At each
beat of the heart two and a half
ounces of blood are thrown out of it.
175 ounces a minute, 656A pounds
an hour.
All the blood in the body passes
through the heart in three minutes.
This little organ, by its ceaseless in
dustry, pumps each day what is equal
to lifting 122 tons one foot high, or
one ton 1872 feet high.
Each square inch of our skin con-
tains $500 perspiratory pores, each
Of which may be likened to little
drainpipe one-fourth of an inch long,
