Human Heart as a Power Enains

\ great physician once remarked
that, despite its compleXity, there was
no organ of the body reader to adapt
itself to circumstances or more capa.
bic of repaying ordinary care than the
heart. This is very true, and an ap-
probation of that fact should cause us
all the more carefully To follow the
wise mans advice and to keep our
heart with all diligence. When we
have regard to the tremendous work
the heart accompliShes we might well
with Wesley say, Strange that a harp
of thousand strings should keep in
tune so long Estimated in scientific
fashion, a mans heart in twgutT-sour
hours performs an amount OF work
which if represented by the energy de
manded for a big lift would raise l2O
tons of weight one foot high. Such
calculation can be accurately deter.
mined by measuring the force eXpend-
ed in one beat or cycle of movement
of the heart and multiplying the short
work into that Of the day. Thus in no
small degree does the hearts labor
contribute to swell the big total of the
energy the human engine expends
each day it lives.-New York World

picnic, if properly exploited, would
bring in nearly all the money requir-

1t was decided to enlist the aid Of
the merchants Of town in the project.
1t was believed that if the business
men could be induced TO close their
stores ana other establishments for
half day and HE them off to the
woods that one Of the biggest pionics
that ever took place in Dauville would
result. Although the committee wants
the proceeds OF the outing for a mum

lively a merchants picnic and is to be

PROPOSED PLANS
FOR SEWERAGE

Charles T. Mebus OF the firm of AL
bright and Mebus, engineers who made
the plans for the sewage disposal plant
at the hospital for the insane, by re.
quest while on a visit to this city,
Monday, gave some valuable intorma-

sewerage, conveying the sewage TO one
outlet, and the publication of sewage
before it is discharged into the river,
which plans under the extension OF

not quorum present. Mr, Mebus,

proposed plans will cost the borough

Mr.. Mebus has been closely identif,

the present borough but extensions il

labor involved on such map is al
high priced and the firm getting n
the plans, he said, would be Obliged
TO employ a good many men. Mr.
Mebus said that at least 81, 500 wollt
