The Science of Bodily Exercise

A French scientist, DR.. Fernand L.
grange, has written a book, which has
been published in English, on physical
exercise. The volume is called "The
Physiology Of Bodily Exercise" In it
DR.. Lagrange tells us, as far as any one
knows, just why exercise fatigues and
why it does us good.
With a scientific exactness to which
we in America are too little accustomed
DR.. Lagrange defines what he writes
about. Breathlessness comes from an as
phyxiation of the blood. In running,
for instance, the combustion in the
blood which produces carbonic acid is
heightened. More carbonic acid is made
than can be carried off by the lungs, and
it remains in the blood and produces
respiratory distress, which the author
calls a self intoxication. "The runner
poisons and stupefies himself with the
deadly gas evolved within himself by
the violence and persistence of his eff
forts" Breathlessness comes Of doing a
great quantity of work in short time.
When exercise does not produce breath
lessness we may say it is moderate.
Quite different is muscular fatigue.
One may become thoroughly fatigued in
his muscles and sore and stiff without
having once exercised to the point of
breathlessness. What makes the mus
eular soreness which follows the exercis-
ing of unaccustomed muscles? DR.. La
grange says it comes of the secretion In
the muscles of poisonous alkaloids. These
are ti..e y c9taa products formed by the
unusual exertion of the muscles, and are
in too great quantity to be carried off at
once. Therefore they remain for time
in the flesh and produce stiffness, If.
however, the same muscles are exercised
again and continuously, the nerve stimu-
lus becomes greater, and the injurious
secretiOns are not only carried off proper
ly, but the muscle increases in size and
strength. Will power and physical cour-
age are developed by physical exercise
Society people and those with little oc-
cupation for their brains should learn
fencing and exercising with elaborate
gymnastic apparatus Brain workers
on the contrary, should pursue the sim
pier forms of muscular exercise, such as
long walks, rowing and running. Skip
ping and running will develop the chest
admirably.

School for Male Nurses,

In connection with the Bellevue Medi-
cal college in New York is the only
training school for male nurses in this
country. There is only one other in the
world, and that is in London. Numerous
such schools are in the country for train
ing women nurses, but at last it is pro.
posed to let men invade educational
courses hitherto deemed sacred to wo-
men.
The superintendent of the male nurses
training school is a woman, Mrs. o. S.
Willard, who is a graduate of the Belle
vue school for female nurses. Six young
women graduates of the same establish
ment give ward instruction to the men.
there being no male nurses to be found
that are competent to this task. As fast as
young men are graduated who can take
charge of the ward instruction they
take the places Of the women. 1t is said
the women have the greatest difficulty in
teaching man how to put q pillow into
a pillow case properly.
To enter the school a man must be of
sound health and morals, between the
ages of 81 and 80, able to read and write
well and keep accounts. He must be also
able to read aloud well, which not one
American in two hundred can do. The
course in the training school lasts two
years. There are many applications
from men desiring to be pupils.

OkPa Cloth.

That is what we may expect to have
added to our textile fabrics ere long if
the hopes of certain gentlemen are real
lied. Okra has been for more than a
century the favorite vegetable for soup
in the south, but recently it has been dis
covered that the stalk has long, silky
fiber which can be carded, spun and
woven.
In one respect the okra stalk has an
advantage over either cotton or jute. In
these wood and fiber are so mixed to-
gether that the wood must be thrashed
out by an expensive process requiring
much hand labor. In the okra, however,
the wood surrounds the fiber and can be
easily separated by machinery. A ma
chine is already being prepared for the
purpose.
A factory in South Carolina has under
taken to manufacture all the okra fiber
that is brought 20 it, and farmer in
Edgefeld says he can prepare it for the
factory at a cost of cent pound The
okra fiber is long, strong, yellowish white
and very glossy. 1t can be manufactur-
ed into rope, bagging and cloth. In some
parts of the south this useful vegetable
grows almost without cultivation. Ii
cloth as well as soup can be made from
it, there will be another southern indus
try to be developed.

Not much, saws S. E. H. in The Wash

anxiety of some good people of the
United States about our South American
visitors, and the general desire to show

number of years, associated with the
South Americans freely, and dined with
them often. Wine was on every table,
rich and poor. The writer knew all

dresses to statesmen. and never saw a
native intoxicated. In city of 10000

Finally the writer says:

on this hemisphere, and the japanese are their
only rivals in the world

Law and Poetry.

At the New York centennial celebTa-
ton of the founding of the United States
supreme court distinguished doctor of
laws made a speech on the 'Origin of the
Supreme Court of the United States and
Its Place in the Constitution" The
speech was learned and eloquent one.
The gentleman who delivered the

his own leather bound volumes. His
dome of thought was smooth as a bill
lard ball, and the lower part of his face
was hidden by bushy gray whi5hers.
He was keen Of eye and sharp Of nose.
He was William Allen Butler, belonging
to New York law firm whose earnings

There is nothing SO very remarkable in
That, except the large law fees. No.

Erastus Wiman writes in The North
American Review striking article on
the British capital now being invested in
American industries at the rate Of mill
len dollars a week. British investments
here were in the first place in ranches,
mines and mortgages. But the charac-
ter of investments has undergone dis
tinct change. Ranches and farm mort
cages turned out disastrously. The
trend is now strongly in the direction OF
manufacturing industries.
The new investments began with the
Wholesale purchase of breweries. A
brewers syndicate has not less than S12,-
100000 invested in st. Louis. Then fol-
lowed rapidly grain elevators and flour
mills and iron, steel and other industries
Warmers patent medicine establishment
passed into English hands at a price of
three millions and half.
Mr.. Wiman points out the exceeding
care which our British cousins take to
prevent loss. First they ascertain per-
fectly the present and past condition of
an industry that is offered them That
done, when they buy, the new company
is incorporated under the local laws of
its own state. Men Of solid standing in
England are chosen as the officers Of the
company. Finally the American owners
Of the industry, those who have brought
it to prosperity, are in all cases required
to retain not less than one-third interest
in it still and continue in active man
agement.
The last is wise and necessary pre-
caution. Our native American popula-
ton do not take kindly to the business
methods of John Bull, especially his
lordly assumption Of superiority, as GER
tain corporations have found to their
cost, when attempting to run their bust
ness with British clerks and managers.
In answer to the query why the Ameri-
can proprietors of so many successful
business enterprises are willing to sell,
Mr.. Wiman says that America is the
country where capital is needed Manu-
featuring establishments and plants are
enlarged at the expense of their capital,
and even the largest proprietors are apt
to be cramped for money. Therefore
they are willing to give capitalists a
share in their business One of the re-
suits of the vast influx of foreign capital
will be to still more consolidate great
business enterprises and diminish COM

| Perry Carson, who called the Afro
American convention to order in Wash
ington, is a noted character and the most
influential colored man in the city. He
keeps a lodging house and restaurant,
and in city where there was any voting
Perry Carson would carry the colored
ballot in his pocket. In his opening
speech he alluded, as though he believed
in it, to the remarkable progress the col
ored people had made under the most
discouraging circumstances. He told
his brethren that they must stand to-
gether as one man, lay aside all personal
ambitions and work faithfully for the
uplifting of their people.
Things worth having were worth
struggling for, he said, which was a
great truth tersely put. The first thing
they should struggle for was an educa-
ton. They ought to work for the Blair
educational bill SO that the south could
have more than one months school in
the year. The next thing to struggle for
was the right to vote and an honest cleo
ton.
The secretary of the Afro-American
league is T. Thomas Fortune, thor
oughly able colored man. One object of
the league will be to bind the colored
voters fast together in states where ne
gro suffrage is allowed, and cast the vote
as one mans for the party that will help
the negro most. In states like Ohio and
Indiana the negro might hold the bal
ance of power in closely contested cleo
lions.

James Lowth, a Chicago man, has
patented new telephone which he claims
will quite supersede the old one, because
of greater effectiveness and simplicity
of construction. By means of it CONVEX
sation can be carried on over ordinary
telegraph wires between cities hundreds
of miles apart He calls his machine the
stetho-telephone. The new telephone has
no diaphragm, which is said to adapt it
peculiarly to long distances. The COM
bined receiver and transmitter is not
large in size The ear piece is placed
against the ear to receive the messages
When the operator wishes to send mes
sage he places the transmitting button"
against the side of his throat. Then he
talks The muscular movement of the
larynx as he forms the words are sent by
the button to the electrical parts of the
machine and thence conveyed over the
wires. Thus it seems that by the new
telephone it is not the actual sounds that
are transmitted, but the muscular move
ments that make the sound.
