A Scientific 'Analysis ot the Chem
ical Compound. ot Which n.Hnmsn
Body la Made—llan When Reduced
to Water, Powders and Gas.
You can go to a drug store and buy
all ths materials to make a man. It
the reader does not care to Incur the
expense of purchasing the materials
with which to make a man it may at
least be Interesting to study the chem
ical composition of the human body as
exhibited at the National museum.
This will personally appeal to the man
who Is five feet eight inches high and
weighs 104 pounds, SB the exhibit at
the museum represents the elements
and their quantities In the body of an
average healthy man of that height
and weight These compounds are
placed In a glass case, the collection
consisting of tbirty-two bottles, Jars
and boxes, labeled and set on sbelves.
Man does not show to advantage
when reduced to water, powders and
gas. but be Is worth attention not only
from n scientific viewpoint, but as a
moral lesson. The chemical compounds
of which our bodies are made up are
shown by analysis to consist mainly of
thirteen elements. Five of these when
uncombined with other elements nre
the gases oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen,
chlorine and fluorine. The remaining
eight are solid substances, three of
which are nonmetals-carbon. phos
phate and sulphur—while the other five
are metals—Iron, calcium, magnesium,
potassium and sodium. Besides these
thirteen elements are minute quanti
ties of a few others, ob silicon, manga
nese and copper. This scientific analy
sts differs radically from the nurse lore
theory that\boys—and presumably men
—are made of "snaps and snails and
pappy dog tails" and can be relied on
as an official table ot your contents,
provided you are a man of 154 pounds.
The Inspector of the museum’s ex
hibit on man first takes note of a Jar
of reddish powder. The label tells
one that It lB phosphorus, of which a
person contains u pound and a half.
The specimen owes Its lurid hue to
long exposure. In Its natural state It
Is soft, waxy and so Inflammable that
to prevent spontaneous combustion It
Is preserved under water. United with
oxygen It forms phosphoric acid, which
In turn combined with calcium, as
phosphate ot lime, Is an important con
stituent of hone. Phosphorus also oc
curs lu the brain and nerves. Next
to the jar Is a chunk of sulphur the
size of un egg. It Is found lu various
parts of the body, notably In the bones
and teeth. The next bottle contains
what looks to be 5 cents' worth of
darning needles. It represents one-
tentb of an ounce of Iron, an Impor
tant constituent of the red coloring
matter of blood.
The visitor next learns that bis body
Includes three pounds and thirteen
ounces ot calcium, which Incidentally
may explain any hankering he may
buvd for the limelight. This calcium
Is u yellowish metal, somewhat harder
than lead. It Is the basis of lime and
occurs throughout the body, principal
ly ns bones and teeth, In the form of
phosphate.
On another jar one reads: “Potassium,
a soft metal, easily cut with a kulfe
and showing a silver white luster.
When thrown on wnter It decomposes
the water, combining with thu oxygen
with such avidity that the hydrogen
set free, takes fire. It is the basis of
potash and occurs lu the body prlu
clpally as chloride and phosphate.”
Naturally you know this must all he
ao. hut appearauces are against It.
The specimen does not In the least
look like "a soft metal with a silver
wlilto luster.” It Is the llvlug Image
of two pounds of shop worn dates, the
appearance ot it being due te exposure
no doubt.
In a 154 pound human body are nine
ty-seven pounds of oxygen, which
would If set free fill a space of nearly
1,090 cubic feet. The body also carries
fifteen pounds ot hydrogen, which If
allowed to escape would fill a corre
sponding iirea. One should he partic
ularly glad to know about this gas,
because it explains where spellbinders
get their supplies. The specimens of
these gases are compressed in big
glass jars that look sweaty Inside, hut
otherwise are apparently empty. Hy
drogen, like carbon, Is burned in the
body by uniting with oxygen, thus
serving as fuel. The water produced
Is given oft In the respiration through
the lungs and as perspiration through
the skin.
On the bottom shelf, along with other
specimens, is a tin box containing thir
ty-one pounds of anthracite coal. It
represents that amount of carbon In a
human body. Cnrbon combines with
oxygen.. In this combination heat and
force are generated and carbonic add
gas formed. The carbon takeu In the
body In food Is burned In this way by
the oxygen of the Inhaled air, yielding
bent to keep the body warm and force
musculnti strength for work. The car
bonic acid gas Is given out by the lungs
nml skin. Carbon thus serves as fuel
for the body and Is Its most Important
fuel element.
Then there are the 'fats, twenty-two
and one-fourth pounds out of 154. Hu-
mau fat consists of stearin, palmitan
and olein, with varying portions In dif
ferent parts. On a card may be read:
“The so called complex fatB, protagon,
lecithin, cerebrin and others, resemble
the neutral fats. The quantity Is not
definitely known, but Is supposed to
amount to about twelve ounces. These
fats are very difficult to obtain, and
only small specimens are shown, with
special labels. They occur chiefly In
the brain, spinal cord and nerves,
though found In other parts.”
By way of Illustration there are jars
packed with tallow that account very
v
pie who oppose our
A small jsr contains what looks to
be a smear of black molasses. It la a
specimen of lecithin, which occurs In
one’s brain and which Is also fourtd In
the yolk of an egg. Another little dab
of something Is labeled “cerebrin,” a
complex fat from the brain and spinal
marrow. Glycogen, still. another little
mess, is an animal starch from the liv
er, and fnoslte Is a kind of sugar ob
tained from the muscles. This Is alBo
found In plants.
A large Jar Is labeled "gelatlnolfls,"
and you read that a man weighing 154
pounds contains about nine pounds and
fourteen ounces, the amount shown.
Gelatlnold compounds resemble In
chemical composition and properties
the gelatin used -In cooking, and that
Is precisely what it.looks like.
The thirteen pounds of albuminoids
contained In a man who touches the
scales at 454 resemble so much yel
low comment, well ground. As to the
speck of ugly brown Btutf near by, you
would never guess what It stood for if
the label did not explain that It was
“hemoglobin, the red coloring matter
of blood, very difficult to obtain,” and
a small specimen of which is shown,
together with one pound and two
ounces ot dried blood to represent the
probable quantity of hemoglobin In
the blood of an ordinary man. Hemo
globin serves as the carrier of oxygen
In the blood from the lungs to all parts
of the body.
It you are a 154 pound man you con
tain forty-six quarts of water univer
sally distributed In your body.
No chemical analysis of a human
body has ever been made, bnt from
analysis of the different parts the
amounts of the more Important com
pounds may be approximately esti
mated.
When one has read the labels, count
ed the jars and looked the outlay over
the conclusion is reached that man has
as many ingredients as a mince pie.
One will always know after this that
when be dies it Is because nature has
gone on a coal strike or that hemo
globin Is asleep at the switch.
Right before one’s eyes are the pinch
of this and the sprinkle ot the other
that make a brain—or an egg yolk—
anil In another bottle Is the nasty little
Bmear of brown stuff that gives the
heart's blood Its crimson—the brain
and the heart that have ruled this
world since Adam.
The visitor says to himself as be
leaves the ease: “Science may have
here all the materials for making a
man, but there Is only one chemist
who can put them together. His name
Is God.”—Washington Star.

The Albany Elks have discovered a
new way to spell “Hello." In a big
sign that Is strung across Washington
street the words appear thus: "Hel-
low-BIll.” This is a system of Spelling
which Is not generally familiar to the
people of these parts. The new
sound system of spelling Is gaining
some following since Its advocacy by
Andrew Carnegie, but this Is a differ
ent system from-that. It adds letters
to words rather than takes them off.
Of course, the committee on decora,
tlon lays the blame on the sign paint-
dr, and say that he would probably
have put an "E” on "Bill” If there had
been room enough on the sign. But
one of the Elks was smart enough to
explain the extra “w”jby saying that
they had It put there on purpose, to
attract attention.
Tho best safeguard against head
ache, constipation and liver troubles Is
DeWltt's Little Early Risers. Keep a
vial ot these famous little pills In the
house nnd take a dose a,t bedtime when
you feel that the stomach and bowels
need cleansing. They don’t gripe.
