"Just about it. The other species of mammalia are generally hotter than human beings. The horse, the hare, the elephant, the porpoise, and the tiger are nearly the same; but the cat, the squirrel, the rat, the panther, the sheep, the ox, the dog, the monkey, and the goat, are as high as 103°; and the pig is 104°." "Rather humiliating to us," put in Altamont. "Then come the amphibia and the fish," resumed the Doctor, "whose temperature varies with that of the water. JUST ABOUT IT THE OTHER SPECIES OF MAMMALIA ARE GENERALLY HOTTER THAN HUMAN BEINGS THE HORSE THE HARE THE ELEPHANT THE PORPOISE AND THE TIGER ARE NEARLY THE SAME BUT THE CAT THE SQUIRREL THE RAT THE PANTHER THE SHEEP THE OX THE DOG THE MONKEY AND THE GOAT ARE AS HIGH AS ONE HUNDRED THREE DEGREES AND THE PIG IS ONE HUNDRED FOUR DEGREES RATHER HUMILIATING TO US PUT IN ALTAMONT THEN COME THE AMPHIBIA AND THE FISH RESUMED THE DOCTOR WHOSE TEMPERATURE VARIES WITH THAT OF THE WATER
ing 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. "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. I may almost say their temperature would be the same at the Equator as the Pole." "Then the heat of our bodies is the same here as in England," replied Altamont. NG 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 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 I MAY ALMOST SAY THEIR TEMPERATURE WOULD BE THE SAME AT THE EQUATOR AS THE POLE THEN THE HEAT OF OUR BODIES IS THE SAME HERE AS IN ENGLAND REPLIED ALTAMONT
