What y 1T What occuuf what
part Of the human mechanism faila
frst or last, when person 10 deprived
Of food for a certain period OF timel
This Is what takes place: During star.
walton the body loses weight, the va
rious functions walking, sitting up
etc. become weakA, the body tempera'
ture first rises, then falls, and death
supervenes after the loss Of about ~
per cent Of the body weight The loss
Is not equally distributed among the
various tissues, as the muscles and fat
lose the most, then the bones, skin and
liver, and Qeast of alp the heart, brain
and spinal cord. Some persons starve
without actually being denied food
Certain constitutional diseases bring
on conditions which cause loss Of
weight and great weakness Of every
portion of the organism; the food eater
does not feed the disease ridden tbs
sues and a state Of starvation follows
Thus a person may starve even In thu
midst Of plenty. Marked loss Of weight
while in seeming good health, is-a posi-
tive indication Of some serious system
ic disorder, which II treated In time
will prevent further loss Of weight and
avert starvation and death.

An Anscdote Of Greeley.

A call was once made by a dozel
noted artists Of the Academy Of De
sign in 1870 on Horace Greeley. MI
Clarence Cook. then the art critic o
the Tribune, had been saying thing
about the academy exhibition which
caused the venerable chiefs OF tina

A steamhsatsd Ocean.

A fourth year class was beginning
the study Of ocean currents.
"Why Is the ocean warmer in some
places than It Is In others7" asked the
teacher.
The children were puzzled. Finally
Alexander, a bright little lad Of sever
years. volunteed this original explana
ton:
Because 1t Is steam heated IN some
places" said he. "You see. where the
big steamships pass through the ocear
the water is steam heated and there
for very much warmer than the place:
where no steamships pass."-New Yorl
