T.lic Heart as a Mtliiiic.
The heart is probably the most ef
ficient piece of. physical apparatus
kfnown. From a purely mechhnical
point, of view it is something .like
eight times as efficient a'tht)'esi
steamengine. It may be described
mechanically, as little more'-tfhan il
dquble force pump furnished with two
reservoirs and two pipes of outflow
and the main problem of its,o0ion is
hvdro-dvnamical. The left ventricle

work of thej- right venticje, the j work
of the entire organ is nearly one hun
dred and twenty-five foot-tons.; The
hourly work of the heart is according-

ly equivalent to lifting itself twenty
thousand fpet anlhour. -V j
An active climber; can average 1,
000 feet of ascent an" hour, or, one
twentieth the work of the heart. The
prize Alp engine, "Bavaria lifted
its own height 4 2,700 feet an hour,
thus denjonstrating only ohe-ejghth
the efficiency of the heart. Four ele
ments have to be considered in esti
matinglhe heart's work : (1) the stat
ical . pressure of the j blood column
equal to the animal's height, .which
has t9 be sustained ; (2) the force con
sumed in overcoming the inertia of
the blool-veins ; (3) the resistance of

Hospitality. .
The habit that obtaipsip many fami
lies of "hcapiug'' food aud giving a little
and considerably more . thap asked for,
has nothing to bo said in its favor and a
gi-eat deal against it. U Unless one has a
stroug, firm appetite that pnly an earth
quake or a tempest could! affect a large
quantity of food is appalling- It is much
pleasauter to, yCiid of' plate to, have it
renjenished than fabe obliged to 3 leave
food ujon the plate. 1 In order to clear
the plate one is prone,, to ovcrea, from
the idea of "saving" the food. Economy

Columbu's son Ferdinand, who adds that
the fleet suffered no damage save the loss of
one anchor. It is this anchor which has now
been found; and strangely enouzh, it was
dug up from a depth of six feet below the
surface of the ground, at a spot three hun
dred and seventy-two feet from the nearest
point of the coast-line. The land, it is wsll
known, is gaining upon the sea along the
shores of Venezuela, so that where once
ships rode at anchor, gardens are now plant
ed. The anchor itself is of simple form and
comparatively rude manufacture, the stock
being eight feet longhand round, with a
ring at one end one foot in diameter to
