but one which takes away the body
heat, leaving it cold.
Life consists in keeping up the body
heat. 1t is in order to get sufficient
body neal that we eat and to retain it
that we wear clothes. Were there no
wind and if we moved hardly at all
clothes would not be necessary, be
cause the leaf of the body would keep
a layer Of heated air about Us ali the
time. But the wind and u natural
movements constantly disperse this
layer of heated air. and in consequence
we wear clothes to keep this layer in.
In summer GOODNESS is secured by
loose clothing. which lets the wind
blow away the heated air; in spring
and fall more closely woven garments
keep the heated air near. In very cold
weather furs are used. because the
skin and the fur afford a powerful re-
sistance to the escape of body heated
air. AS long as the body heat is kept
up illness is likely to be a long time

his experience with this strange peo-

following manner:
When we first occupied the hills a
man would not tell US his name. If
asked he would refer US to some n

lowing explanation of their habit was
given by a Lushei:

FEET AND FLOORS.
How the Body May Be Robbed of Its
Heat and Vitality.

Heat and Vitality.
a cold floor is one that conducts heat
away from the body. not necessarily
one that is cold in itself. A wooden
foor and a stone floor exposed to the
cold will in themselves bave no great
difference in temperature. But one
may walk barefooted over a wooden
floor with comparative comfort, no
matter how cold the weather, while a
stone foor will seem to freeze the feet.
On the other hand. in a warm room
the stone floor will be warmer than the
wooden floor, for it will take up the
heat. Thus the heat from a radiator
standing on a stone or tile floor will
make it warm for several feet in every
direction, but it will affect the wooden
floor only very slightly. A cold floor,
therefore, is not a floor which sends
cold into the body through the feet
