At the beginning of the first period the subject passed urine and took his 

 own temperature. He then suspended the weighing-chair and after being 

 weighed assisted in weighing the bed-clothing. Between l h 26 m p. m. and 

 l h 52 m p. m. he went to the food aperture five times in procuring the portion 

 of the food assigned for the experiment, and during this time he ate a certain 

 amount for his dinner. He then read until 4 p. m. Between 1 p. m. and 

 4 h 20 m p. m. the subject was walking, and from 4 h 24 m p. m. until 5 h 48 m p. m. 

 was reading, except that he went to the food aperture twice. Between 6 p. m. 

 and 6 h 26 m p. m. he was eating supper. The total amount of food eaten in the 

 two meals was 114 grams of cheese, 260 grams of bread, and 450 grams of 

 bananas. At 7 h 02 m p. m. the subject passed 186 grams of urine and then 

 continued his reading. Just before 11 p. m. he took down the bed, passed 

 urine, undressed, and retired. He slept until 7 a. m., at which time he was 

 called, and shortly afterwards was taken out of the chamber because he could 

 not complete the experiment on account of the unpalatability of the diet. 

 Between 10 h 45 m p. m., October 4, and the end of the experiment, the subject 

 passed 558 grams of urine. 



The body-temperatures, taken by means of the clinical thermometer, were 

 97.6 F. at 1 p.m., October 4; 98.3 F. at 7 p.m., October 4; and 97.7 F. 

 at 7 h 40 m a. m., October 5, the usual routine being followed each time. The 

 pulse and respiration were not recorded. The results for the metabolism of 

 the three 6-hour periods are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 135. 



Subject, C. R. Y., February 8, 1906. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 134.) 



The subject entered the respiration chamber without breakfast and was 

 weighed at 8 h 08 m a. m. The first period began at 9 h 15 m a. m. The experi- 

 ment was planned for the purpose of obtaining the metabolism of this subject 

 after a 12-hour fast, but although he had been the subject in several previous 

 experiments, he was so restless that it was decided to take him out of the 

 respiration chamber at 12 h 20 m p. m. For the particular experiment planned 

 with this subject, the greatest possible muscular control was highly desirable. 

 Only one period was made, from 9 h 15 m a. m. to ll h 15 m a. m.
