This will personally appeal to tho man Who is five feet eight Indies high und weighs 154 pounds, as the exhibit at the museum represents the elements und their quantities iu the body of uu average healthy man of that height i and weight. These compounds are placed in a glass case, tho collection consisting of thirty-two bottles, Jars and boxes, labeled and set on shelves. Man does not show to advantage when reduced to water, powders and gas. but bo le worth attention not only from a seieutiiic viewpoint, but as u ^ moral lesson. The chcinlcul compounds of which our bodies are made up are shown by analysis to consist mainly of thirteen elements, l'lve of these when uncoiubined with other elements are the gases oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen | chlorine und lluoriuc. The* remaining etght are solid substances, three of which are nouinctals carbon, plios- S I.?|,? ?|| I"u,,v Uiv: ?U? nre metals iron, calcium, magnesium, 0 potassium and sodium, besides these * thirteen elements are minute quunti- 0 ties of n few others, as silicon, manga- 8 nose and ? vpper. This scientific analy- ^ His differs radically from the nurse lore 8 theory that boys and presumably meu v ?are made of "snaps and snails and puppy dog tails" and can he relied on i' as un olllciul table of your contents, h provided you are a man of 151 pounds, t The inspector of the museum's ex- <v lilhit on man first takes note of a Jar li tof reddish powder. Tint label tells one that It is phosphorus, of which a portion contains a pound and a half. .The specimen owes its lurid hue to 1 long exposure. In Its natural state It Is soft, waxy and so Intlntmuahle that to prevent spontaneous combustion It f Ip preserved underwater, l.'ulted with v oxygen it forms phosphoric add, which t In turn combined with calcium, as t phosphate of lime, Is an important eon- <1 stituent of l?oiu'. .Phosphorus also occurs in the brain and nerves. Next n tin' lur is a chunk of sulphur tin* It is found in various y, notalily in the bones next bottle contains be o rents' worth of It represents one ce of iron, an Important constituent of the red coloring tnuttcr of blood. The visitor uext learns that his body includes three pounds and thirteen On another Jar one reads: " Potassium i ? soft metal, easily cut with a kuife < and showing si silver while luster. < When thrown uu witter it decomposes | tiio water, combining with the oxygen ? .with such avidity that tho hydrogen, i set free, takes tire. It is the basis of t pot ash and occurs In the body pr?n ' cipally as chloride and phosphate." Naturally yifu know this must all bo ' ho, but appearances are against It I The specimen does not in the least * look liko "it sol't metal with a silver ' white luster." It is the living image 1 of two pounds of shop worn dales, the ' uppcarnuco of it being due. to exposure 1 n<> doubt. I In a lot pound human body are nine ? Iv seven pounds of oxygeu, which mould if sot free (ill a space of nearly l.UtM) ouhic fi'et. The body also carries fifteen pounds of hydrogen, which if allowed to esi-apo would till a corre spending area. One should he partlc ularly glad to know about this gas, because it expluius whore spellbinders pet their supplies. The specimens of these gases are compressed in big glass Jiirs that look sweaty inside, but otherwise are apparently empty, Hydrogen, like earhon, is burned in the body by uniting with oxygen, thus 1 nerving as fuel. The water produced Is given oil" in the respiration through ' the lu:;gs and as perspiration through 1 the skin. 1 On the bottom shell', along with otliei 1 specimens, is a tin box containing thir ' ty one pounds of antbraelte coal. It ' represents that amount of earhon In a human body. Carbon combines with oxygen. In this combination heat and force are generated and earbonie ueid gas formed. The earhon taken in the body in food is burned in this way by ! the oxygen of the inhaled air, yielding 1 heat to keep the laxly warm and force muscular strength for work.
