EXPENDED PHYSICAL FORCE.
Energy Used In Ten Mile Walk Would
LIT 800 Tons One Foot.

Lift 300 Tons One Foot.
Perhaps you do not know it, but
when you walk a distance of ten miles
you expend enough force, could it be
all collected, to raise 800 tons one foot
from the ground. OF this enormous
quantity Of energy the legs are respon.
sible for $50 tons, the heart for 100,
the lungs for twenty-five and the bulk
Of the remainder is wasted in the heat
given off from the body.
In severe athletic competitions, such
as running, rowing and boxing, you
must be in such a condition as to be
able to exert, by your limbs alone,
each minute as much force as would
lift 5000 pounds one foot above the
| ground.
When a powerful man works for
twenty-four hours with all his might
the energy he expends is equal to lift
ing a third class cruiser, and during
his life he dissipates enough power
to carry his body at death to the sun.
These statements may at first sight
seem extraordinary, but will not seem
so when it is remembered that two
ounces Of bread contains the potential
energy Of $50 tons.-Pearson's.

Great Crest Of the Sierra.

vada, including many eminences al
most as high. Mount Whitney is A.
5O1 feet above sea level. Among those
of slightly lesser height are Mount
Russell. less than a mile distant, H. 1870
feet; Mount Williamson, 1884 feet;
Mount Muir, 14,2O5 feet; Mount Lang
ley, 14.O42 feet; Mount Barnard, A.
O03 feet, and Mount Tyndall, 14,Oo5
feet. The most distant of these is less
than six miles away.
BY a strange freak of nature the low.
est point of dry land in the United
States is less than eighty miles from
the highest. The lowest point is in
Death valley and is 276 feet below sea
level. 1t is said that from this point
Mount Whitney can be easily seen on
a clear day.

"HellO!" he said. you're just the
mar I want to see. l sent a check to

mo" This was one Of the other
fellows l had read.
The editor looked at me. puzzled.
Then I told him what had happened.
He had supposed the stories with my
name attached to them came from me.
and he had no explanation of the mys-
terry to offer. He handed me a fat
check. but l declined it and went to
see other editors in whose magazines
the other scribbler's stories had APP
peared. They had all supposed that
l was the author of the manuscripts
sent in, and all had credited me with
the amount due-in all more than a
thousand dollars.
Now, l had got through my business
troubles. all but Il thousand dollar note
coming due in a few days. All l had
to do was to accept checks in payment
for my stories and l would be "out of
the woods" But l had not written
the stories and had no right to take
pay for them. Besides, if l did so and
the real author turned up l would be
liable to prosecution for s%windling.

CIVIL WAR SWORDS SNAPPED.
Many Given as Presents Were Not a.
Good as They Were Said to Be.

~
Good as They Were Said to Be.
4. great many swords were brought
home after the war between the states
welded in the middle, because the
young officers who owned them had
Dragged about their elasticity and had
broken them in trying to demonstrate
it. The tragedy happened in this way:
The young officer in setting out for
the var had been given a fine sword
by his admiring friends at home. He
was told and made to believe that his
sword was of tried Damascus Or Toledo
steel and that it would bend double
without breaking. In camp somewhere
the young captains and lieutenants
would fall to Wanting their trusty
blades, and on a bet n Of them would
stick the point Of his sword into a
tree and begin to bend the hilt around
to meet the point. And just as the hilt
came around The blade snapped in two
in the middle. Very few of these pres
entation swords We're as Damascus O.
as Toledo as they were supposed to be.)
After that the two part3 of the sword
had to be welded. and the weapon
shows the welding to this day.-New
York Mail.

Death Masks Date Far Back,

Although there is no mention of
death masks in the works of Homer or
in any of the later classics, modern ex-
plorers have satisfied themselves that
in the early burials of all nations it
was the custom to cover the heads and
bodies Of the dead with sheets of gold
so pliable that they took the impress
Of the form, and not infrequently.
when in the course of centuries the
embalmed flesh had shriveled or fall
en- away. the gold retained the exact
cast of the features. Schliemann found
q number of bodies covered with
large masks of gold plate in repOusse
work. several of which have been re-
produced by of engraving In his
"Mycenae,' and he asserts that there
can be no doubt whatever that each
one Of these represents the likeness OF
the deceased person whose face It COW
cred.
