Salt.
Sodium ohlorld, or common salt, is a ne-
cessity of aninial life. Wild animals 01 1(10

many miles to "salt licks," or other places
where it abounds.
The human body contains salt in large
proportion. The blood tastes of it, and in
greater or less quantities 11 (0 found in all
the many fluids and jnices manufactured by
the various glands of the body.
That its presence ie not accidental but
, designed is shown by the study of some of
the essential factors of the organism when
deprived of it. Recent experiments have
proved that the white covpuseles of the blood

scourge. Very extensive preparations hese

11100 Remarkable Survival or Three am-
itenilmil Miners III EQ1101118.
The teaching ef experience as illustrated
by several recent instances of prffionged ab-
stinence, though it may afford some idea of
lumen enunranee in this particular under
special conditions has yet provided no cer-
tain oritorion of the vital resistance pos-
sassed by the average man when suddenly
deprived of every form of sustenance. The
measure of this force may nevertheleas he
gauged svith approximate correctness from
the history of recurrent Instances of pro-
longed and aaeldental privation. As an ex-
ample the following is remarkable, even ire
this category.
It is the narrative of three Bohemian,.
miners, who, after being entombedby a fall
of sand in the pit where they were working, •
were finally rescued alive, though, of courser,
in an utterly prostrate condition, seventeen_
days later. During the period of their live
burial air was pumped down to them by bore
holes. On this they may be said to have
lived, without food and without water. The
total want of the latter is what makes their
survival so remarkable. But for this essen.-
Hal the longer fasts of professional fasting
men would have been 'Istite impossible. We
eon have no difficulty 111 understanding why
this holds true if we bear in mind the fact
that not only does water constitute by far
the greater constituent of every tissue, but
that without its due proportion the throttle,
tion and nutrition of the blood and that
needful if costly chemical change upon which.,
all tissue repair depends would be alike im-
poseible. s
In endeavoring to trace the rationale of tr..
life persisting, as ia the case of the buried
miners, in spite of the obsence of every nat-
ural condition we must notiee one or twcr
sig,nifieant points. In the first place their
condition was that of rest, their functional
metabolism being proportionally less active,
their waste of tissue diminished, mid their
output of carbonic acid noe so likely to
overoliarge the surrounding atmosphere.

oonservation of vital energy. llateth depends

no doubt, to this circumstance that, we muds
