A Famous Runner.

t1tty years ago his renown spread all
over Europe. This was Ernest Mensen.
His exploits make the pedestrian feats
OF the present day look Insignificant He
was runner who first came into notice
by running from Paris to Moscow, dis
tance of 1,7G0 miles, in thirteen days
and eighteen hours. In 1886 he ran
through Central Asia from Calcutta to
Constantinople, bearing dispatches for
the East India company. The distance
is 5,615 miles, and he accomplished it in
tifty-nine days, one third Of the time
taken by the swiftest caravan. A favor
lite employment for him was the mes
senger extraordinary of sovereigns. He
ran from country to country bearing let
ters and dispatches of the highest i'm
port, and always beat mounted couriers
when matched against them. He never
walked, but always ran. Invariably he
took the direct route to his destination,
climbing mountains, swimming rivers,
and guiding himself through forests in
way known only to himself. His food
was small quantity Of biscuit end rasp-
berry syrup. His rests he took twice in
twenty-four hours, when he usually
leaned against some support, covered
his face with handkerchief and slept.
If he was compelled to remain quio' any
length of time he complained of giddi-
ness and rush of blood to the head. In
1S42 he was employed to discover the
source of the Nile. Starting from Sill
esia in May, 1S43, he ran to Jerusalem,
thence to Cairo, and up the banks of
the Nile into Egypt. Just outside the
village of Lyang hewa seen to stop and
rest, leaning against palm tree, his
face covered as was his wont. He rested
so long that some persons tried to wake
him. They tried in vain, for he was
dead.
