CAN YOU TELL ME?
How Fast Does Your Heart Beat? You 'don't know. Well, when you were an infant your heart throbbed at the rate of from 105 to 120 beats a minute, or nearly two a second, but as you grew older it slowed down to the normal of 72 a minute for men and 80 a minute for women. When you get old it will quicken again.
A Fish Through Which You can Read print, so transparent is its feody, lives in the great ocean depths. There is another fish so absolutely transparent that but for the colour of its eyes you could not seo it if placed in a dish. The bodies of still other fish have no •jilasticity; when you pinch thorn, the marks of finger and thumb remain.
