ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY. bustion be known, then by the law of the conversion and equiv- alence of energy the mechanical equivalent can be estimated in that particular case. The heat-producing power of different substances can be directly learned by ascertaining the extent to which, when fully burned (to water and carbonic anhydride), they elevate the temperature of a given volume of water; and this can at once be translated into its mechanical equivalent of work, so that we may say that one gramme of dry proteid would give rise to a certain number of gramme-degrees of heat or kilogramme- metres of work. A few figures will now show the relative values of certain food-stuffs: ' 1 gramme proteid 1 gramme urea. Available energy of the proteid 5,108 785 4368 Kilomet. 3,161 811 1,850 The reason of the subtraction has been explained above. Taking another diet in regard to which the estimates differ somewhat from those given previously, but convenient now as showing how equal weights of substances produce very dif- ferent amounts of energy, we find that—.
