102 IlEP0111-1883. Gird, If Chest.--'This is the method adopted in the l'lriti,h Army. Make the person stand quite upright, with his shoulders back:, and his arils hanging loosely by his side. The measurement must be taken neat to the skin, without compressing it. The lower edge of the tape should touch the nipples, and the measurement should be read off in front. ('are should be taken that the tape passes horizontally round the chest, because if the measurement is made obliquely, below the blade-hone, it will be erroneous. The person should be required to count ten slowly during the operation, to prevent him from keeping his lungs over-inflated. (If this measurement is made on females, it should be taken below the 1)reasts. ) Strength, of 1lrin.--Tt is proposed to measure the force that can be exerted by the arm when pulling (as an archer with a bow). A spring balance should be used for this purpose. The right or left arts, whichever is th ' strongest, should be used to draw, and the other to resist. The resisting arm must be free, and extended straight from the side, as nearly as possible in the line of the shoulders, and the hand of the other arm brought back towards the car. (A spring balance, or 'arm-testing maclline' for testing the drawing power, can be obtained of Herbert & Sons, (i West Smithfield, London, E.C., price 18s. ("Id.) The above Ii-tire represents the position in which the strength of area should be tested. AI 'I '1:N1ux 13.
