NOTES TAKEN AFTEB EXPEBIMENT. 



When I came out of the calorimeter, 

 at first I felt rather weak, but think this 

 was caused more by being inactive for 3 

 days than from weakness. Walked to 

 my room, washed, and then walked a 

 short distance. Felt rather hungry. 



Ate 1 slice of toast and drank 1 glass 

 of milk; it tasted very good. This made 

 me feel better and stronger and I walked 

 back to my room and shaved. My hands 

 were not unsteady. 



Attended recitations at 8 h 10 m a. m. and 

 9 a. m., but felt rather sleepy. At 10 

 o'clock ate 2 slices of bread and drank a 

 small glass of milk; afterwards felt 

 stronger. Attended recitations till 1 

 p. m. Felt rather sleepy. 



At 1 o'clock went to dinner and ate 3 

 slices of toast and drank 2 glasses of 

 milk. After dinner, took a slow walk 

 in the open air for over 2 hours. This, 

 though it made my legs a little tired, 

 seemed to refresh me and made me feel 

 much better. Studied from 4 h 30 ra until 

 6, when I went for supper. Was hungry 

 and ate all that I wanted, including 

 milk, toast, stewed meat, and 2 dishes of 

 apple-sauce. After supper felt strong 

 and well enough to study until 10 h 45 m , 

 when I stopped and took a hot bath and 

 went to bed. Slept very soundly and 

 very well for 8 hours; after that felt no 

 effects of my fast and was strong and 

 well. 



Body movements. Although the subject endeavored to secure uniformity of 

 body movements from day to day, a partial check upon his records of his 

 muscular activity was attempted by securing a more or less complete record of 

 grosser body movements as observed by the physical assistant sitting at the 

 window in the front of the calorimeter. These movements were recorded, often 

 very informally, on the sheets which are used for recording the thennometric 

 observations from which the total heat is computed. These observations of 

 grosser movements were supplemented by the record kept by the chemical 

 assistant of the number of times the food aperture was opened and closed. A 

 list of all recorded body movements follows. In it the imperative mood has 

 been used for the sake of brevity. 



Movements of subject. Duration, three days, from Bee. 18, 7 a. m., to Dec. 21, 



7 a. m., 1903. 



1 This term is used in this and all similar tables hereafter without further remark to 

 indicate that the subject goes to the food aperture, opens it, passes out whatever he wishes, 

 takes in anything designed to be received, and closes the food aperture.
