ANTIQUITY OF MASSAGE.


n IT00tme0t W0lc0 was A0OW0 u0 On11Ao
Five Thousand Years Ago.
At the recent festive gathering of
the club called ..Old Volumes, y one Of
the members gave . curious account of
massage as mode of treatment Il il
certainly very popular at the present
moment and people want to hear some
thing clear and definite about it. The
gentleman assured his listeners that
there was reason to think that massage
had been known to the Chinese from
time immemorial and it was stated that
the process was fully described in MS.
called Kong Fou," the date of which
was 5000 r. c. The word itself was de-
rived. according to some authorities.
from the Greek s'massein," to rub;
while others referred it to the Arabic
word .'mass,' to press softly. In .
primitive form it was known both to
the Greeks and the Romans, who re-
sorted to it after the bath "a custom
which prevails among the Orientals to
the present day. After the struggle of
the circus it was employed 70 dissipate
the resulting contusions and extrava-
sations and to restore pliability to the
bruised and stiffened joints. Among
the Sandwich Islanders it wasfrequent-
" practiced under the name of ''lomi-
lomi,r and the process was fully de-
scr.bed in the works of Emerson and
Nordhoff. This, however, was a crude
and primitive form, having very little
in common with the elaborate scientific
system now resorted to in this country.
There was reason to think that the
true massage was used in Franco in
the early part of this century-an
opinion which was to some extent con-
firmed by the fact that all the terms
employed to designate the various
branches of the art were French in
origin. An impetus was given to the
study of the subject by the publication
in 1858 of an essay in Dutch by Metz
ger of Amsterdam. 1t was, however,
owing to the researches of Prof. Won
Mosengeit, of Bonn, that it had been
placed on firm. scientific basis. The
literature Of massage was now very
extensive. and during the last ten years
over a hundred works had appeared on
| the subject. - Court Journal.

The Knot and the Mile.

The '1Snotn and the mile are terms
often used inter changeable, but errone-
o,isly so. The fact is that a mile is less
than eighty seven per cent. Of knot.
Three and one-half miles are equal,
within n very small fraction, to three
knots. The knot is 0,0S2. GO feet in
length. The statute mile is $3.50 feet.
The result of the difference is that speed
in miles per hour is always considerably
larger than wien stated in knots, and if
a person forgets this and states a speed
at so many knots, when it was really so
many miles, he may be giving figures
verging on the incredible. When we
hear parties say that such vessel is capa-
BILE of making twenty knots per hour, we
usually take the statement with very
large grain of salt, for twenty knots is
%. 04 miles per hour, speed which very
