SCIENCE ANSWERS QUERY:
WHAT. IS MAN?
"Oh, what a piece of work is man!"
—Hamlet
A man weighing 150 pounds con-
tains approximately 3,600 cubic feet
of gases—oxygen, hydrogen and nit-
rogen—in his constitution, which at
80 cents a 1,000 cubic feet would be
worth $2,80 for illuminating purposes.
He also contains all the necessary
fats to make a fifteen -pound candle,
and thus, together with his 3,500
cubic feet of gases, he possesses con-
siderable illuminating possibilities.
His system contains twenty-two
pounds and ten ounces of carbon, or
enough to make 780 dozen, or 9;360
lead pencils, There are about fifty
grains of iron in his blood and the
rest of the body would supply enough
of this metal to make one spike large
enough to hold his weight,
healthy man contains fifty-four
ounces of phosphorus. This deadly
poison would make 800,000 matches,
or enough, poison to kill 500 persons.
This, with two ounces of limes, makes
the stiff bones and the brains. No
differencd hoiv sour n man looks, he
contains about sixty lumps of sugar
Of the ordinary cubical dimensions,
and to make the seasoning complete,
there are twenty spoonfuls of salt. If.
a man were distilled into water he
would make about thirty-eight quarts,
or more :than half his entire weight,
Ile also contains a grgat deal of
starch, chloride of potash, magnes-
ium, sulphur' and hydrochloric acid in
his wonderful system.
Break 1,000 eggs;including shells,,
into a huge pan or basin, and you
have the contents to make a man
from his toenails to the most delicate
tissue, of his brain. And this is .the
seientifie..,'answer 'to' -'the question,

If you look ahead you can easily picture how useful
$30,000 would be to you.
This amount of money can be more easily saved than
most people imagine, in this way:
If you were to start in and save $200 each six months
and let it compound at 5V2%—in 30 years you would
have $30,000, but—you know of many people who
could have set aside this amount, yet who are still
"drudging along," with no hope of relief.
You know yourself how hard it is to save cash.
Human nature is such that very few people allow,
ready money to remain untouched for any length of
time. Therefore–

Row.
