in with him, and other articles were placed upon the chair and weighed. The 

 chair was then removed from the suspension rod by the subject and he sat 

 down and remained quiet until 6 p. m., when he went to the food aperture 

 to remove the materials for his supper. The subject finished eating at 6 h 36 m 

 p. m., having eaten 190 grams of bread, 40 grams of cheese, 13 grams of butter, 

 and 256 grams of milk. After he had finished eating he put the remainder 

 of the food on the shelf. At the beginning of the next period he stood up 

 and went to the food aperture several times, while putting in the articles left 

 from his supper. Soon afterwards he sat down and remained quiet until he 

 went to the food aperture at 8 p. m. to get a thermometer, and after taking 

 his temperature he replaced the thermometer. At 8 h 34 m p. m. he went to the 

 food aperture to get a bottle of water. Shortly after 9 p. m. he stood up. At 

 9 h 50 m p. m. he rose again and went to the food aperture. Between 10 and 

 11 p. m. the subject was very drowsy. At 11 p. m. he arranged the furniture, 

 passed urine, undressed, and retired for the night. 



The subject rose the next morning at 7 o'clock and dressed at once, then 

 suspended the chair and was weighed. After getting out of the chair he 

 placed the bed-clothes in it to be weighed, and after this operation was fin- 

 ished he took the chair down and set up the table for reading. At 7 h 52 m a. m. 

 he went to the food aperture and took out his breakfast, of which he ate 87 

 grams of bread, 101 grams of bananas, and 227 grams of milk. At 8 h 10 m 

 a. m. the subject finished eating, and put the uneaten portion of the food 

 in the food aperture. He then took down the table, made up the bed, and very 

 soon afterwards lay down. At 9 h 08 m a. m., the subject adjusted the rectal 

 thermometer and lay down again. The subject got up, and urinated at 10 h 44 m 

 a. m. He then remained lying down until ll h 48 m a. m. when he rose and 

 went to the food aperture. The experiment ended at 12 h 15 m p. m. The sub- 

 ject passed 735 grams of urine during the experiment. 



He stated that he slept soundly and felt perfectly well during the experiment.
