Rickshaw Drawing Not
Heavy Physical Labor

AdOlph Basler, director of the ply
Biological institute Of the Sun Vat Sen
university In Canton, China, recently
made some interesting observations
on the rate of work performed by
coolie drawing a rlckshaw. This form
Of running is peculiar in that the force
exerted is practically all forward.
The arms are held by the shafts of
the vehicle, and since the vehicles
center Of gravity is over the axle, the
cOOlie does not have to exert any up
ward force. The work he does is con-
sequently the same as If he were pull
Ing a weight by cord running over
q pulley.
1t was found that the rickshaw
cOolie ran from four to six miles an
hour, consuming during fast locomo-
ton about one-tenth of a horse power
the same, that is, as II he were
drawing five and half pounds one
foot in each second. This is over and
above the amount Of work the coolie
would do while running at the same
pace without pulling the loaded We
hlcle. The expenditure of energy is
much less than that of the oarsmen
In university boat race.

President's Wives Smoked

Mrs Zachary Taylor, wife of the
twelfth President, was a pipe smoker.
She was known to smoke pipe occa-
sionally In private while she was mis-
tress of the White House. Mrs. An
drew Jackson, wife of the seventh
President, also was pipe smoker,
but she died soon after her husbands
election and consequently never pre-
sided over the executive mansion.
James Parton, Jackson's biographer,
says 1t was not uncommon for Jack
son and his wife to sit for hours
smoking their pipes before their fire

Snake UnjustIy Condemned

1t is commonly believed that the
small snake known as the putting ad-

from its mouth. Frequently reports
are published that persons have been
injured seriously by venemous spray
spat into their faces by these serpents.
The breath of the putting adder, 1t is
said, will kill a person at a distance
of 25 feet. All this is fancy, pure and
