nov 10 WALK.


some Points Regarding Profess
siOnaI Professionalism.
San Francisco Examiner.
In view of the uncertainty that per-
vades the minds of athletes on this coast
as to what is and what is not square
walk, it might perhaps be well to give
short account of the history, nature and
distinguishing characteristics of iceland
toe walking. In England, some years
ago, Mr.. Perkins walked the fastest mile
ever recorded in the remarkable time of
six minutes and % seconds. His gait is
what is popularity known as heel-and-toe
walking. In the early history of walking
in this country Mr.. Stern made mile on
a New York track in seven minutes, at
TINT time considered very fast His style
was not heel-and-toe, and form quite u
contrast to that of Mr.. Mullen, who after
ward in n mile competition. open to all
corners, walked Mr.. Stern of his feet and
on the last lap spurted him out of sight.
The square planting of Mr.. Mullen's legs
and heels was remarked and appreciated,
and thereafter heel-and-toe walking be-
came the standard gait of New York ath-
letic clubs. Rules were made regulating
the walking gait, and hat-footed shutting
was relegated to the shades of the past
In 1876, in this country, Mr.. Arm
| strong walked IL seven mile race in very
fast time, and thereafter won the amateur
championship of the United States and
held it for some years, although hard
| pressed by Mr.. Holske. No better ex-
ample of the two styles of heel-and-toe
walking can be found than those of MIR.
Armstrong and Mr.. Holske. Mr.. Arm
strong employed the gait of Mr.. Perkins,
a high knee action, with strong swing
of the hips and mechanical enormous
stride. Mr.. Holske's style was more
natural, with very little action of the
knee and quicker movement of hip and
leg. Both walked heel and toe-that u.s.
the action of the knee Strengthened the
leg Just before the heel touched the
ground, throwing the toe up and neees
sarily leugthening the stride. The ad
vantages of this gait are evident. and i
it should be asked why il is accepted III
standard and others rejected, it may b.
answered that the Strengthened limb il
without question of beauty, strength
and skill, whereas the bent knee is the
sign Of weakness and the refuge Of
hitehers and shippers, mongrel, gated
pedestrians, and all such.
In race, if the pace be too stiff or tn,
man tired, he naturally comes down to {
ilat-footed gait. The ballet-dancer usei
the stiffened knee and pointed toe, ant
the principle of hecl.and-toe walking il
exactly the same. The actor and oratol
use the extended, full sweep of the arm
the eagle and the king vulture maintain
the power of their graceful flight by til,
wide extended pinion. The athlete lift,
his 100 pound bell to the extremity of hi,
reach and if lie did not, his performanc,
could hardly be called feat of strength
By instantaneous photographs we fine
that the foreleg of the racing trotter al
full speed is strengthened just before the
hoof touches the ground, In fact, if {
man is cut out to be a walker, he takes tc
this straightened-knee heel.and-toe gai
naturally.

That curious gore" between the Texas
panhandle and the Indian Territory, which
figures on the maps us public Land"
turns up in Senator Van Wick's bill for
the organization of the territory of Okla
hama. So far as we can Judge from the
brief tolegrnphed abstract, this bill
proposes to steal from the
civilized Indian tribes the territory
which represents the last remnant
of the great country over which their
forefathers roamed, to absorb the public
land strip which does not appear to
belong to anybody in particular, and to
consolidate the two into region wherein
cattle kings and spectators may
fatten and wax powerful by the
simple process, which they have
worked so sue ,cssfully heretofore in
other territories, of requiring every cow
boy in their employ to take up one OF
more homesteads and transfer the same to
them as soon MS he has perfected his title
thereto. 1t looks like very good bill to
be buried beyond the possibility of resur.
rection in the committee room.

NOTES.
Secretary Whitney positively denies that
he Endorsed the object OF the recent meeting
OF silver men In New York. He Is In favor
OF suspending the coinage OF silver. Mr..
Whitney's secretary, who wrote declina-

says: "The letter was in substance similar
to hundreds OF replies TO invitations which
Mr.. Whitney must necessarily decline. II
contained no endorsement whatever OF the
cause OF the silver men. The letter was
only what simple courtesy required.

Mrs Lucille Yseult Dudley, the woman
who shot O'Donovan Rosa and was &C.
quilted on the ground of insanity, is
growing FESTIVE in her quarters at the
Middletown, N. j., lunatic asylum. The
superintendent reports that since Mrs.
Dudley learned her counsel was unable
to have her released from the asylum she
has been determined on suicide. A con-
slant watch is kept upon her. She tried
to contract cold by sitting in draughts
or by open windows in violent weather,
with the avowed hope that it would bring
on fatal illness. She was detected in
attempts to lift heavy articles of furniture,
and in subjecting herself to intense
strain by lifting and pulling on station.
airy fixtures, hoping to produce hemorrh-
age. On one occasion she was in meas
ure successful in this, as she brought on
fit of splitting blood, which caused her
evident satisfaction. These efforts to do
herself mortal injury being guarded
against, Mrs. Dudley avowed her intention
of starving herself to death. When the
earnestncss of her refusal to take food
became apparent the instruments fol-
forcing food into her stomach were re.
sorted to, and she consented to eat volun.

Photographic Rates.

If a person 100 years ago had said that
nent would be covered with network of
telegraph wires and railroad tracks he
would have been laughed at, but to-day
every small village has telegraph office
and very likely railroad station. In the
infancy of telegraphy the charge for send
ing message from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, that is from New York to San
Francisco, was $40 for 10 words, at which
fgureitremained for quite long time. The
rate fell by degrees to $3.50, IS, $3.50,
$3.50 and finally to the present figure
81. Sometime ago the rate from New
York or Washington to st. Louis, was
$2.35 for 10 words, while to-day, by the
Baltimore q ohio,a person can send a TO-
word message from either of the above
places to st. Louis for 20 cents and
one cent for each additional word.
Competition has had share in bringing
about these reductions, but it may be
doubted whether the greater part of them
ought not to be credited to q business
spirit on the part of telegraph COM
panies TO encourage the growth of the
volume of business done over the wires,
to the confidence that such policy would
prove the most remunerative to them
selves as well as advantageous to their
customers. In some localities opposition
has doubtless come in as an additional
factor to pull down the rates to figures
which the companies would not volun-
tarily have made. From our own city
we may send message to New York OF
Washington for 10 cents for 10words and
one cent for each additional word, which
rate, whilevery low, the companies claim
TO make money on. Should the era OF
government telegraphy, contemplated by
Senator Edmunds' bill, become reality
of the future it is possible that even pro-
portionally lower rates than these may be
made general over the country.

RED SNOW.
The Globnles That Encnrmntiin
the Polar Hills.

At the meeting of the Biological Society,
of Washington, few evenings since,
Mr.. Romny Hitchcock Of tho National
Museum, read an interesting paper on
"The Red Snow" and exhibited through
the microscope specimens of the brilliant
minute crimson globules which give tolor
to the snow, and about whose character
there has been considerable difference of
opinion among naturalists. MIR. Hitch
cock said that the red snow that attracted
much attention from scientific gentlemen
when it was brought home from the Arctic
regions by Captain Ross in the year 1878,
was by no means unknown before that
time. De Snuskure, as early as 1850, oh
served it on Mount Brewer, in Switzer-
land, and since then many others have
noticed it in the Alps, Pyrenees, and it
seems TO occur frequently in all parts of
the world. Particular interest, however
was manifested in the material brought
home by Captain Ross, aud several bo-
tanists secured specimens for examination.
MIR. Hitchcock gave summary of the
literature of the subject, and quoted
Captain Ross description of the Crimson
Cliffs, not far from Cape York, Bafiin's
bay. The investigation at that time
showed that the snow was penetrated
even down to the rock, in many places to
a depth of 10 or IL feet, by the coloring
matter, and that it had the appearance OF
having been long time in that state.
The extent of these cliffs was about
eight miles. DIR. Wollostin at that time
regarded the red snow, or its coloring, as
of vegetable nature. Baron Wrangel re-
garded the plant as lichen. He placed
some limestone covered with the plant
in water, and observed number Of
globules of a yellowish color, of which
the larger red ones seemed to be com
posed. He also observed the large
globules swim about, like infusoria, burst
and give exit to smaller ones.
A specimen of the red snow collected
by DIR Kane from the crimson cliffs OF
Beverly is in the National Museum. This
specimen, says the Washington Star, was
recently brought TO Mr.. Hitchcock's
notice by Mr.. A. H. Clark. 1t was in a
glass stoppered one-ounce wide-mouth
bottle The material was evidently put
in with water, but is now thoroughly dry.
On examination he found an abund-
ance of the minute cells of red snow in
this collection, but the brilliant crimson
color is quite lost, only n faint tinge Of
red remaining.

KINGSTON, N. Y, Dec. 20.-A young girl
named ORR AIisner, daughter of a well-to-
farmer residing at Big Indian, a village
near here, attempted suicide by taking
laudanum yesterday morning. Dir. Schley
of Pine Hill was telegraphed for. The
operator at tire New YORK end of the wire,
overhcaring tho message summoning the
doctor, asked the operator at Big
Indian for further particulars, stat.
ing that he had studied medicine.
On learning the situation Of affairs he con.
suited with two brother operators, also
graduates Of New York medical college,
and they together prescribed for Miss
Misner by telegraph. They ordered the
administering OF powerful emetics, vigorous
rubbing, and whipping with small twigs,
and the result was very gratifying. DR..
Schley, who arrived an hour later, said the
New York operators saved the girls life, as
she could not have lived until he arrived.
The reason for the girls attempt at suicide
Is said to DO love affair.

A Fern Growing in oosmic Dust.

A correspondent wrote some time ago
to the New York Commercial Advertiser
that he met the other day on train
between Rochester and Syracuse a gentle
man who gave his name as Carleton, or
Tarleton, and who said he was on his way
to England, having in his possession a
strange looking fern in tlower-pot. He
said it had been growing ten years, and
that the soil was cosmic dust that he had
collected while in the employment of the
Hudson Bay Company in the coolest reg
ions of British America. He put the dust
in a tlower-pot and placed pea in the
celestial mold, and locked it up in a large
wooden box during q years absence in
England. The correspondent, who claims
to be botanist, says the owner of the
wonderful plant give him these conclu-
sions; 81 have studied this matter in all
directions, and have come to the con-
clusioi that some of the varieties of our
plants have had just such an origin as
| claim for this fern, and it may be that
the same is true of some of our animal
species. Perhaps the lightning of all life
ON earth had such an origin, perhaps life
from this earth has been waited TO our
neighbor planets MS we'll. Now another
confirmation of my theory as regards
this particular plant is that no one has
ever seen one like it. No botanist that
ever consulted has been able to classify it.
Since became interested in the subject
have examined many kinds of fern, but
never came across one that resembles
