6 THE MORNING ASTORIA N, ASTORIA, OREGON. TUESDAY, JUNE a, 1908, YOU AJIE BURNING UP A HUMAN BEING LITERALLY LIVES BY BEING CONSUMED ALIVE. Kmtrtr Beat Combined Help to Bara Away the Bodily Tluit, as Ft Material la Constantly Be tas (applied r Katare. "You, of course, believe, with the rent of the world, that every seven yeiirs nature, up to a certain age. sup lilies you with practically a new laxly that every seven years, when you Lav wasted by ordinary natural processe the muscles, tissues and fibers of your body, you have given to you quite a ew outfit to euable you to carry ou life, barring accident and disease, for the next seven years. "There Is not a minute atom of your body from the crown of your head to the sole of your foot but what Is prac tically undergoing a process of burning, both nlgbt and day," said the celebrat d lecturer on anatomy, Professor Lo res u. "While you are looking at me how I am being burned to ashes," con tinned the professor. "Nature is never stationary or Inac tive. The body spends Its energy in the way of physical labor and In the constant emission of beat, the former method comprising waste that occurs through muscular work entailed by. for Instance, moving the body on Itself, walking, speaking. rtioutlug. singlug. breathing and In the action of the heart and by mental activity, though each ef fort be slight. "We expend heat by respiration aud perspiration. Motion is energy, and energy motion. Now, the daily aver age Income of energy as created by the bumnn body on ordinary .diet is cal culated at about 2.200 pounds avoirdu pois. That quantity of energy repre sents our daily storage in the ordinary, active, healthy body. "How is this 2.200 pouuds of energy spent by each human body? It will surprise you. perhaps, to be told that all our muscular work done in a day only requires about 315 pounds of this 2.200 pounds and that the remainder liecomes, as it were, evaporated and is being constantly thrown off by the j body In the way of heat. "We literally live by being burned alive. Energy and heat combined help to burn our tissue, and fresh is bein supplied by nature, just as a new building Is built on the site of one which has been burned down. "You hare heard of the man who gets 'warmed to his work,' and that, being 'warmed,' everything goes on satisfactorily, 'like a house ou fire, That Is literally what happens to every human creature, for bis 'bouse' Is al ways on fire, though the real meaning of the descriptive phrase Is not always rightly understood by those who utter It The phrase 'getting up steam,' so often used in a jocular sense, is another truth but little understood. Our body is never done getting up steam, and this steam Is our propelling power, by which we are able to get about our work and by which the brain Is able to keep up Its rush of Ideas. Let na ture stop getting up steam and we have a nervous collapse. - "With plenty of steam we can fire away; without It we run down. There is nothing to keep our body warm nothing to warm our food, nothing to warm and render moist the air we 1 spire and there Is nothing to provide for the radletion and evaporation of different moistures frcn the skin. "Brain workers give off a greater amount of heat than physical worker.' hence they are more liable to collapse Their expenditure exceeds Income, and the result is bankruptcy. They ar obliged to lie up till they can obtair more capital in other words, they have been consumed by the fire of the body at a quicker rate than It takes nature to supply a quantity of fresh tissue and muscle. "The ages of twenty-one, twenty eight, thirty-five and forty-two are the most critical periods of a person's life time, for at about these ages nature will have fitted the body out with new raw materials. "A child of seven has different balr and eyes from those which It had when It was born. There's the proof." New York News. DESTRUCTION OF POMPEII Taking Hli Word For It. "Come and let me ' Introduce you to jUdy Diana. (Soto voce) Prettiest girl in London, old chap."-Bystander. Children'! Burn. When a child burns its finger a way to give It immediate ease Is to plunge the burnt limb, if the burn Is only a urface one, Into a basin of cold oli By this means air Is kept out and the finger greatly soothed, for the oil seems to withdraw the heat and stay the rapid inflammation. tarled Deep Taat It Was Lot Tor riiltrn Ceatarlea. When one hears of a f urled city it I. fery difficult to realise what it cat look like still more so to realize how city can 1 burled so deep as to be tit terly lost and the place of It know it no more for sixteen centuries. Yet Uiis Is what Impelled to Pompeii and Herculnneum, Ktablue and Itetlua and thirteen other cities of the plain on the nluth day before the calends ot September, iu the first year of the reign of the Emperor Titus. Thus It was wheu Pooipcll was hurled. When next the sun shone Into her street! George III. was king of England. Six teen years before the burial of the city an earthquake had done so much mischief that the ruin was not yet quite restored, but Mount Vesuvius had been quiet ever sine. The 24tb of August was a terribly hot day. Most of the people were In the am' phltheater at a wild )east fight when they saw a strange cloud rise from Vesuvius. It seemed like a pine Ire The trunk rose up high into the heav ens and then spread out iu branches- some white, some dull aud spotted until, slowly oetachlug themselves from the parent trunk, they began to darken the sky. Plluy the elder, over at Miseuuiu. was readiug in his study when his sister came In to tell him of this strauge cloud. He ordered a light galley to be got ready, and as he was coming out with his tablets in bis nand ready to uote down all he saw the mariners belonging to the galleys at Hetlna came up to implore of him to go to their help. By the time Pliny got there with his galleys the ashes were .failing thicker every Instant, 'ihen came broken aud blackened stones ami pumice. Vast fragments were rollitifr down the wouutuin. aud the sea had suddenly retreated. The pilot was for putting back, but the undaunted old philoso pher admiral would not go back. "For tune." he s.tiil, "favors the brave." Kv- eryhody knows something about the rest nn-.l low the poor old gentleman, being weakly and asthmatic, was suf focated by a sudden outburst of flamet and sulphur fumes. Iu that awful darkness, wheu the sudden rush of flames was the only light which pierc ed the dense smoke, the fields were full of terrified people fleeing they knew not whither. It is true that the de struction was not instantaneous, and great number of the inhabitants sav ed their lives, and even took away a good deal of their treasure, but It Is es timated that at least 200,000 persons were entombed in Pompeii.

A fool doesn't envy you because you are smart; a fool never knows he Is a fool. A man who knows he does not de serve confidence has very little confi dence in other people. It is enough to make todav act mean the manner in which every one slights it in looking forward to tomorrow. There is one reward uo man seems to be in a great hurry to get to, and that is the reward piled up for him in heaven. It seems that to exaggerate your blessings is looking on the bright side, but that to exaggerate your troubles is plain lying. 'In early times the leading states men were those who split rails."
