The results of these determinations add a new 

 link to the chain of experimental evidence, that 

 muscular exertion does not necessarily increase the 

 excretion of nitrogen through the urine. From mid- 

 day before the ascent (August 29th, 1865) to the 

 following evening at seven o'clock (August 30th)
