What is HealthfuI Exercise?

This is question we propOunded to
one of our leading physicians yester-
day. He did not answer it specifically.
A man in a sedentary occupation"
said the doctor, " Fought not to take
violent exercise. Exercise, like every
thing else that is good, should be taken
in moderation. That is the objection
to rowing and kindred amusements.
They are not healthful because carried
to excess. Horseback riding is good
exercise, so is walking. But whatever
the form of exercise do not pursue it to
extremes"
There is a deal of sense in what the
doctor says. Nearly all the great pugil-
lists, base ball and oarsmen, pedestrians,
athletes and men who are specially
trained for extraordinary feats of physi-
cal endurance break down early. They
exhaust their stock of vitality prema-
turely. 1t is the natural development
that is most enduring. What men need
in every pursuit in life is STAYING
powers, tenacity, longevity and even
ness of muscular growth. Sudden
spurts of strength impinge lightly upon
either the economic or moral results of
life. For this reason we may prudent
ly accredit that rule the best which
commends to us a moderate amount of
physical exercise, and regular intervals
as regards time and quality. Boating,
base ball, pedestrianism are none of
them necessarily unhealthy. On the
contrary they are healthful, and
a delightful combination of -recrea-
ton and physical development. But
how few use them wisely as tools for
this purpose! The great majority in
dulge to excess. The excitement of the
contest, the fierce requirements of ri
valry and the potency of example carry
the enthusiasm to a high pitch and the
physical frame is taxed to an injurious
degree.
No sane person denies the value of
food. 1t is essential to life. 1t is pos
sible to live without exercise; it is not
possible to live without food. And yet
if a man were to partake of food as he
sometimes partakes of exercise he would
be accounted fool; for, if he tasted
two or three days and then gorged him
self with all he could eat, he would be
aspeedy patient for the physician. And
yet, in SO doing, he would only bestep-
ping into a parallel niche with theman
who takes his rest and exercise in about
that proportion of time and intensity
The up-building of physical manhood
ana womanhood is one Of the great priv
ileges and duties of every human life.
The future not only of individuals but
of nations depends in large measure
upon the wisdom of the rising and fu-
ture generations in this respect. Ma
ture builds up by the slow but continu-
GUS process. The vegetation that springs
up manight is comparatively valueless.
The wood of steady and uninterrupted
growth has the best fiber. Exercise
rightly used. is an element of human
physical development. Wrongfully or
immoderatelv used it is a bane.-Bur-

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

IT seems that the original inventor of
| the glue, glycerine and water process
OF copying letters, which has been ex-
tensively introduced within the past few
wears. has obtained in this country a
patent for his device, dated May Is,
1850. He obtained patent in Germany
two years ago.
The sums placed at the disposal of
the French Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce, for the purpose Of encour-
aging research and experiments as to
the best way of dealing with the phyl-
lOxera, amounted in 1879 to 100000
francs, and this will be increased during
the present year by supplementary
grants TO 800, $50 francs.
\ PATENT has been granted to james
Il. Cox, of Auburn, n. Y, for running
railway coaches or carriages on skates
instead of wheels, and it is especially
designed for elevated roads. In the
place of the ordinary wheels on the or
binary rails, substitute in imagination q
grooved skate and a rail to correspond
and you have the principle. BY this
mode all noise is obviated, and, as Mr..
Cox says, there will be less friction, &C
cording to the opinion of the Oldest and
and ableSt engineers, than on the jour
mails of the wheels now in use. A
IT would not be supposed that sewage
gas could exert any corroding influence
on metals, yet investigations have shown
that holes are worn in lead and zinc
pipes by such gases. In fact, the gas
from the drain is the most dangerous
element. Such eXhalatiOns are the
source of sorrow in many homes and
exert their deadly influence both by
perforating the pipes which contain
them and by then issuing through these
apertures to mingle with the respired
air. Substantial iron pipes, well ven
tilated and carefully joined, are the best
protection.
A RECENT report on injurious insects
states that the popular idea that grubs
are killed by extreme cold is not borne
out by facts. An examination of the
larvae and pupG that had been fully eX-
posed to the influence of frost showed
that they were uninjured even when the
earth containing them was frozen 50
hard that the mass had TO be broken
with hammer. Frost, then, instead of
diminishing the number of insect pests,
has tendency just the other way. For,
not only does the frozen earth afford a
safe retreat to the grubs from the attack
of birds, but excessive and prolonged
cold proves fatal to the birds them
selves. "
AN oil for lubricating small articles,
and one that will remain fluid in varying
temperatures, is thus described by the
Journal of I1duStrY: Take olive oil
and dissolve it in boiling alcohol, add it
drop by drop to the hot alcohol, until it
is no longer taken into solution. Upon
cooling, it viii let fall crystals, and leave
a considerable portion still fluid the
fluid part is to be poured off, filtered
through piece of white blotting paper,
and either used in this form, or the
alcohol may be distilled off for fresh pro-
cesses, and the pure lubricating oil
which will remain can be obtained for
oiling watches and delicate machinery
This win not oXidize or gum up, and
will remain perfectly fluid even when
exposed to great cold.
