"Well, sure enough, we've some precious hot ones among us, but as I never have put a thermometer down their throats to ascertain, I can't give you statistics." "There is no sensible difference," said the Doctor, "between men of different races when they are placed under the same conditions, whatever their food may be. WELL SURE ENOUGH WE'VE SOME PRECIOUS HOT ONES AMONG US BUT AS I HAVE NEVER PUT A THERMOMETER DOWN THEIR THROATS TO ASCERTAIN I CAN'T GIVE YOU STATISTICS THERE IS NO SENSIBLE DIFFERENCE SAID THE DOCTOR BETWEEN MEN OF DIFFERENT RACES WHEN THEY ARE PLACED UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS WHATEVER THEIR FOOD MAY BE
t it would be impossible to believe it, if it were not attested by unimpeachable evidence. The Duke of Ragusa and [Illustration: ] Dr. Jung, a Frenchman and an Austrian, saw a Turk plunge into a bath at 170°." "But that is not so astonishing as those servant girls, or our own countrymen," said Johnson. "I beg your pardon," replied Clawbonny; "there is a great difference between plunging into hot air and hot water. Hot air produces perspiration, which protects the skin, but boiling water scalds. The maximum heat of baths is 107°, so that this Turk must have been an extraordinary fellow to endure such temperature." "What is the mean temperature, Mr. Clawbonny, of animated beings?" asked Johnson. "That varies with the species," replied the Doctor. "Birds have the highest, especially the duck and the hen. The mammalia come next, and human beings. The temperature of Englishmen averages 101°." "I am sure Mr. Altamont is going to claim a higher rate for his countrymen," said Johnson, smiling. POSSIBLE TO BELIEVE IT IF IT WERE NOT ATTESTED TO BY IMPEACHABLE EVIDENCE THE DUKE OF RUGUSA AND DOCTOR YOUNG A FRENCHMAN IN AN AUSTRIAN SAW A TURK PLUNGE INTO A BATH AT ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY DEGREES BUT THAT IS NOT SO ASTONISHING AS THOSE SERVANT GIRLS OR OUR OWN COUNTRYMEN SAID JOHNSON I BEG YOUR PARDON REPLIED CLAWBONNY THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLUNGING INTO HOT AIR AND HOT WATER HOT AIR PRODUCES PERSPIRATION WHICH PROTECTS THE SKIN BUT BOILING WATER SCALDS THE MAXIMUM HEAT OF BATHS IS ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN DEGREES SO THAT THIS TURK MUST HAVE BEEN AN EXTRAORDINARY FELLOW TO ENDURE SUCH TEMPERATURE WHAT IS THE MEAN TEMPERATURE MISTER CLAWBONNY OF ANIMATED BEINGS ASKED JOHNSON THAT VARIES WITH THE SPECIES REPLIED THE DOCTOR BIRDS HAVE THE HIGHEST ESPECIALLY THE DUCK AND THE HEN THE MAMMALIA COME NEXT AND HUMAN BEINGS THE TEMPERATURE OF ENGLISHMEN AVERAGES ONE HUNDRED ONE DEGREES I AM SURE MISTER ALTON IS GOING TO CLAIM A HIGHER RATE FOR HIS COUNTRYMEN SAID JOHNSON SMILING
