The Late Founder of the Movement In

The Late Founder of the Movement In
Favor of Physical Culture.
DR.. Dio Lewis, who died recently al
his home in Hudson,
was perhaps the best known author and
teacher of physical culture in the United
States. He was native of Auburn,
New York, and was sixty-three years
old. He studied medicine in the Har-
ward medical school, and began the
practice of his profession in Auburn, in
1915, at the age of twenty-five. Two
years later he removed to Buffalo,
where he practised five years, and wrote
and published a number of papers on
the causes and treatment of cholera.
which ravaged that city in 1849 and
1851. DIR. Lewis, during those years of
practice, became impressed with the
necessity of physical culture to prevent
disease, and in 1886 he gave up the prac-
tice of his profession and began a course
of lecturing and writing on the subject
of public and personal hygiene. During
four years he lectured almost every
night, giving his days to the invention
of his new system of gymnastics. In
1860, having perfected this sys-
tenn, he abandoned the platform and
settled ia Boston, where he established
his normal school for physical training.
He was assisted in teaching by the cele-
brated DR.. Walter Charming, DIR. Thos.
Hoskins, and other well-known
medical scholars, and within seven years
anofe than four hundred persons had been
graduated frosa his normal school, and
were spreading the principlessof his sys-
team of physical training throughout
the land He next established SEM
mary for girls at Lexington. Mass. his
object being to illustrate the possible
ties in the physical development of
girls during their school life. This
seminary rapidly became popular, and
attracted pupils from all parts of the
country, and even from Central Amer
lea and the West Indies. DIR. Lewis re-
manned in Boston until 1882, when he
removed to Yonkers and established a
magazine in that city. devoted to SAM
tary and social science, and known as
Dio Lescis' Monthly. DIR. Lewis pub
lished a number of books on physical
culture which had a wide circulation.
DR.. Lewis last instructions were:

Royal Bengal tiger, seven feet in length
and ferocious to everybody but his tanner
escaped from his cage on the hill east OF
the city, where the stranded circus was
camped. He made for the fields at once,
and had a high old time dashing among
the cattle and hogs, killing several of the
latter belonging to farmer named Brown
Weary and wet he finally found a snug
bed in pig pen. where his tanner discov-
cred and captured him next morning
When the tanner went to the farm houses
to inquire if the occupants had seen his pet
the terrified women and children fed te
the upper rooms, looked themselves in and
crawled under the beds. In the hands OF
his tanner the creature was as meek as q

A Nice Question for Lawyers.

A gentleman who died recently in
Paris left legacy of six thousand dol
lars to his niece in Dubuque. Iowa, who,
it appears, died about the same hour of
the same day. The question which died
first turns upon the relation of solar to
true time, and must be determined by
the difference of long itude. If. the
niece died at 4 a. NJ, and the
uncle at 10 a. m. the instants
of their death must have been identical.
Assuming that to be the hour of the
testator's death, if the niece died at any
hour between four and ten, although
the legacy would appareaatly revert to
his estate. it would really vest in her
and her heirs, since by solar time sh4s
would actually have survived her uncle
