What Is a Man?

From the Popular Science Monthly
 What is a. man? How much is he worth from scientific viewpoint?
 According to one way of looking at 1t a man is worth about g 50 a day from his shoulders. down and anywhere from S50,0O0 to $1.000,000 year from his shou- ders up. This may be said to be the estimate of the average successful busi- ness man.
 The scientist, however, looks at the question from another angle. According to him man is worth g. 45 for illuminat- ing purposes, since a man weighing 150 pounds contains about 3500 cubic feet of oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen in his con- stitution, which at 70 cents per 1000 cubic feet equals the prive above. Also man contains enough carbon to make 9360 lead pencils; enough phosphorus to make S00- 000 matches or enough to kill 800 per sons, and enough water to fill a 3S-quart reservoir.
 Furthermore it makes no difference how sour a man may look he contains about 50 Jumps of sugar, a great deal of starch, chloride of potash, magnesium, sulphur and hydrochlorc acid in his sys- tenn. There are 50 grains of iron in the blood of an ordinary man, enough to make one spike large enough to hold his weight
 What is a man? This is the somewhat cynical answer of one scientific man:
 Break the shells of 1900 eggs into a huge pan or basin and you have ingre- dients from which to form him from his toe nails to the most delicate tissues of his brain"

 Depew! One of the most remarkable of men is ex-Senator Chauncey M. Depew remarka ble for the fertility of his mind, the amazing variety of subjects covered iE his orations and addresses of 60 years and the spirit of youth that characterizes him after all these years of strenuous public life. His published speeches con- stitute a comprehensive analysis of every important topic of interest for more than half century. Easily chief among after-dinner speakers, the range of ora tions includes college and anniversary addresses. political and anniversary speeches and his Senate orations and de- bates, in which many think his oratory reached it's supreme height Every speech of Mir. Depew, even the plea asant after dinner utterance. is replete with intimate Knowledge of the social, eco- homie and political movements of the times. It is an education in itself for any young man to sit at the feet of one who is able to talk about the great po- ltical movements of the past 60 years from the standpoint, not of an onlook er, but an active participant. It should be of interest to the public. especially tc those taking part in debates upon the questions of the hour. that this wonder ful store of informa tion is bout to be made available in a popular edition, at a popular price. to place ths wonderful library of information and rare eloquence within the reach of all
