cold-dimlnlshing the loss of heat by ra-
diation and. increasing internal combus-
tlon
Diminution OF radiation IS brought about
by the fur of animals and ny mans
clothing. Besides there Is q construction
of the blood vessels, or a dimiuution OF
the irrigation of the skin. which brings
about cooling of the skin and as a con
sequence decreased radiation.
Increase of combustion Is brought about
by increase of museular activity, which.
as we say, keeps us warm, and by
the eating of fats and other foods of high
carbon content
In summer or in tropical climates we
have to fight increase of temperature
which would arise from the invasion of
the heat without or from overcombustion
within.
The organism overcomes heat by in
ereasing radiation and evaporation.
The dilation of the blood vessels causes
the blood to flow to the surface Of the
body. and If the temperature without he
not higher than that of the blood the
loss by radiation Is Increased.
But 1t is especially by loss OF water
that the warm -hlooded animals prevent
the rise of temperature Of the body The
cold produced by evaporation Is very
great, for the loss of one gram of water
takes up about $50 small calories. If
for instance, a man evaporate quart
OF water (by perspiratton and evapora-
tion through the lungs) in "a hours he
loses $50 large calories-i. e.. enough heat
to lower the temperature of lie pounds
of water 10 degrees.
This demonstrates the enormous value
of evaporation through skin and .ungs
and the necessity for keeping these or

1t is we'll to know what iaises and
what lowers the bodily temperature. In
summer we all want to keep as cool
as possible and we should know what
will tend not merely to make us feel
cool but really to be COOL saye the
New York World
Except in sickness, when the tenn
perature OF the body is increased by
many degrees and is called fever, We
are never SO hot as at the moment we
are born. The temperature ofaa new
born baby Is higher than that Of Its
mother, rising to 102 f., but during
the first day 1t goes down rapidly as
far as s76 and then, rises again to a
little more than the normal tempera-
ture OF the adult With this exception
age does not change the temperature,
which is in the normal man 9S6 on the
average.
Ihe temperature varies as much as
| 2 degrees In the "a hours The mini
mum Is s7.5, and Is reached at about
g. m, while the maximum 9a5, Is at
tanned at o'clock in the afternoon II
Is notable that fasting or sleep does
not alter these variations: those per-
sons, however. who work at night and
rest by day reverse the order OF the
variations in temperature. Thus bakers,
who work at night, have the nig1es,
temperature at a. M, and the mini.
mum toward evening.
In tropical countries the average
normal temperature Is 1904, slightly
higher than in the temperate zones. In
the Arctic the normal temperature is
lower. Norweg gians, who live IN a cold
climate, have an average temperature
of 977
These variations are certainly due
to the difference in the Temperature of
the air, and not. as some have thought,
to difference of race, for Norwe CLANS
attain the same temperature as natives
when they live in the tropics.
Muscular labor has considerable ef-
tect upon the temperature and may
raise 1t as much as two degrees. One
scientist observed that with normal ex-
ercise the temperature went up from
97.7 to 100 In certain exceptional cases
the temperature rises even more. A
runner has been found to mark 103
after a hard race. Intellectual labor
also causes rise in temperature. W eiss
shows that man sitting down 10 study
hard with a temperature of 81 raises
1t one degree, to 9S, by 40 minutes OF
brain work.
The .maintainence of the temperature
about a certain standard in the warm
blooded animals, Notwithstanding the
variations Of external temperature, proves
the existence of some kind of internal
regulator by which the animal fights
against the tendency to increase or dimin-
ish his own heat.
The resistance of warm -blooded ami
mails against cold is considerable In
polar regions these aniinals-bears seals,
musk oxen. dogs, ETC. withstand tenn
peratures of 30 degrees below zero hab-
itually, and Nansen reports that he felt

Nrhe work and influence of the Gull
tured woman of the SOUTH especially
their wonderfully organized clubs, ON the
development of musical taste and appre-
citation and on the development of
larger and broader interest in the musi-
cal affairs, constituted the main theme
of an interview which a representative
of The Age-Herald obtained In Atlanta
from John c. Freund of New York,
editor of Musical America. recognized as
a great standard musical newspaper Mr..
Freund was stopping recently at the
Capital City club in Atlanta, and in that
city he delivered an address before a
large body Of leading citizens. The prin-
cipal people of Atlanta who take an ac-

Z the governors wife. Mrs John M. Sla-
ton president OF the Atlanta Musical
association, under whose auspices Mr..
Freund appeared, were present.
A Distinguished Career
Mr.. Freund has had distinguished
career for more than forty years. and is
recognized not only as one of the fore
most critics but as d man who has been
identified with the rise and development
OF Musical industries as we'll as the mu-
sical life of the country for nearly half
century. In making short southern
tour Mr.. Freund had planned to visit
Birmingham, but for unavoidable causes
was prevented from coming this far on
his present trip.
He was the first to establish a musical
paper In English in New York city,
which he did In 1873 He is not unknown
to the citizens of Birmingham, as In
1904 he was here and was entertained
at public dinner at the Hotel Eillman
which many prominent people and Lead
ing musicians attended, On that oc-
casion he made an address prophesying
not only splendid advance of the south
commercially and industrially, but ar
tistically as well. "While the womea are
exerting a noble influence their efforts
are being most generously aided by the
southern press" said Mr.. Freund

that cultivation of the fine arts, music
