SIZE NOT RELATIVE MATTER
Scientific Explanation of Why Small
Men Seem to Possess Abnormal
Appetites.

Lecturing at the Sorbonne, NJ. Louis
Lapicquc, the eminent French seien-
tist, has endeavored to explain the
mystery of why little men often eat
much more proportionately than big
men 1t is we'll known that the un-
dersized Esquimaux eat enormously
more than the tall Hindus. Small ami
mails eat more in proportion than
large ones, and in everyday life we
will often see little man eat big
steak and trimmings In restaurant,
while at the adjoining table slxfoot
giant weighing 240 pounds finds sat
tsfaction In crackers and milk.
Professor Lapicque says that the
quantity of food consumed is not de.
termined by the relative efficiency of
the digestive organs. On the con.
trary the digestive organs are more
efficient in small animals because they
are more urgently needed With
smaller furnaces and boilers inside
them, and relatively larger cooling
surface to provide for, the smaller
animals must attend to their stoking
and maintain their food supply with
much more care than their larger com.
panions. Proportionately to its weight
pigeon requires five times as much
nourishment as man: a bengal, a
kind of Oriental finch, six times as
much as pigeon. That is to say, a
bengal must eat thirty times as fast
as man or die of hunger. If he
took to meat eating by way of saving
time and energy he would require his
own weight of underdone beefsteak
each day. At the same rate, and al.
lowing eight hours for sleep, a man
would have to eat substantial meal
every sixteen minutes.
