FACTORS of Muscular strength.

Current discussions on the relative
productiveness of labor lend addition
al interest to the results of tests re-
Gently conducted by Western scien-
fist to determine the effects of outside
influences on muscular strength. Gil
matte factors are found important, a
continuous temperature of more than
SO degrees Fahrenheit being unfayor-
able to performance, while between 20
and so per cent humidity is favorable.
Excessive fatigue carries its effects
over to the following day, and even
longer A curious discovery is that a
number of men engaged on a specific
task of hard labor become of practi-
cally equal strength. Close applica-

have definite fatigue effect.-Po2u-
