THE main impulse is given to the
l. blood movement by the heart. hol.
low muscle, which contracts with sufii-
clent force to elevate the blood to a
height of several feet in tube con-
nected with n main artery.
The total amount Of work done by the
heart in twenty-four hours in its con-
fractions. in an average man, Is about
l24-foot tons that is, it Is equivalent to
lifting 12i tons one foot high or lifting
a 120-pound weight one foot high 2is0
times, or at the rate Of about four times
. a minute for ten hours. BY some au-
thorities the amount of work done by
the heart is estimated to be still higher
than this.
The rate at which the heart works
varies with many conditions. on count
ing the pulse of the wrist the ordinary
rate in an adult, sitting upright. is
found to be sixty-eight. In the same
person lying down the pulse rate will
be found TO be sixty-four beats, and in
the standing position the rate would be
Increased to seventy-eight Walking at
a moderate rate usually raises the pulse
to about 100, while by running and other
violent muscular effort it may be in
creased to 1870 or even more. The pulse
rate of an infant is about 1870 to 140 (;
that of child of ten years, ninety. In
aged persons the pulse Is likewise found
to be five or ten beats faster than in

Democracy's now being made in all

when they're long overdue.

itself to cumming. The cooks small

around with movements acrobatic on
laps of passengers, who rave as how

THE train. my dear. got lost some
where, and none of us could find it.
We searched the station through and

agent wore an anxious air, but still
maintained a silence. Folks filled the
place. but still no train. The prospect
was of violence.
