parallel iron frame, a blow. That's head
and shoulder machine. I'll show you how it
works" Assuming a crouching attitude, the
professor adjusted himself to the machine and
then stood up. but not without apparent effort.
This machine is excellent for raising droop-
ing shoulders and when taken in connection
with the head attachment develops the neck
muscles and helps to give erectpess. strength
and poise to the body. 1t also helps to de-
velop the legs. The motion is to stand up
straight, with the shoulder pieces resting upon
the shoulders, and then alternately raise amp
lower the body without moving the position Of
the feet. OF course the weight can be in
creased or diminished at will.
''Ths is what we call weight pulley, and

The club instructor in athletics and gym
nastics, is Prof. John T. Crossley who halls from
Frankford. Philadelphia. He is thirty-eight years
old and weighs 146 pounds. He is well known
among the professional athletes, also in the
circus and theatrical profession, having trav-
eled eleven years with Barnum Il Baileys
circus, where he was engaged to give athletic
exhibitions. He travelled in Europe in the
winter seasons, having performed in London.
Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Munich. Vienna. Mad
rid and other cities. Prof. Crossley first came
to notice at the age of seventeen by winning the
first prize in the 15O-yard race May 20. 1871. at
Oakdale Park. Philadelphia, and for five years
h. won the 150-yard races at the Caledonian
games at Philadelphia. When he was twenty
one years old he had succeeded in defeating
many of the best athletes in the United States
and Canada In Philadelphia at the Caledonian
games in 1877 he won the pole-vaulting contest,
clearing 10 feet inches. This was the best
professional record up to that date. He
defeated IN the following years many famous
running. both in this country and Europe. The
professor is still in the field as an all-round
man in athletics and gymnastics, having lately
pole-vaUlted 81 feet. He can throw the l6-
pound hammer 93 feet and the l2-pound ham
mer 116 feet.
Prof. Crossey has complete charge Of the
gymnasium and his word is law. The appli-
ances were all selected by him and he boasts
that the club has more peculiar apparatus than
any club in the country. The professor is a
finished athlete and often he gives the boys a
sample OF ''clrcus business" II was on one Of
these occasions that a STAR reporter visited the
gymnasium few nights ago and found the
professor arrayed as full-fedged circus actor
in spangles and gold, giving a finished exhibit
tion on the horizontal bar. After the applause
had died away the professor retired to his pri-
vate room and the reporter followed.

More Guides Are Needed

From the London Daily News
The death Of Baron Caspar Won Leon Of
Vienna, which took place on Sunday on Mount
Ifingen, to the northwest Of Meran, proves
once more, says our Vienna correspondent, the
absolute necessity Of Q sufficient number of
guides for every high mountain tour. Baron
Leon was q strong youth Of eighteen, born
and bred in the Tyrol and an experienced
huntsman, who had ascended every height in
the neighborhood Of his fathers castle. He
seemed to unite all the qualities demanded
Tor successful climber. He had been
staying at hut belonging to his father for
some days, and told the servants there that he
was going to mount the Iffngen above Meran,
ana would return before dinner. The men
asked him to take some one with him, - there
are certain parts Of rock on the mountain
which are dangerous to pass, but the young
man refused When he had not returned BY
sunset the men set out to search for him. but
night came on too fast. and they had to wait
until next morning. They went out ct day
break, and only found him at 2 in the after
noon at the foot Of . steep wall Of rock. They
could not Gerry the body away from the place,

"How can one become an athlete2" asked the
reporter.
Il suppose you mean how can one become a
gymnast, for there is a wide difference between
an athlete and gymnast. The question is q
difficult one. but I'll try and answer it. To be-
come gymnast you must commence young,
and learn first of all to stand on your hands
and bend backward. Then you can try the
hand spring. the forward and back somersaults,
but practice does it all. The more you prac-
tice the better you get to be. Now any one can
become an athlete If he has grit although he
may be a second-class man all his life. But
every one wants to know how to get strong and
how to reduce his flesh. I acknowledge
it's great question and honestly
feel sorry when I see fat man this warm
weather. Could he realize how easy il il to

how much better he would feel. I'm sure they
would all take to exercising. When is the best
time for exercising? That, Of course, depends
upon individual peculiarities and the time one
Is at leisure For q student or business man I

Indian corn is largely used for dstillation
throughout North America, and in South
America it appears to have been made into
.'chica" or maize beer at q very remote period,
for il was a common drink OF the Indians be-
fore the Spanish conquest. The liquor is said
to be of dark yellow color, with an agreeable,
slightly bitter taste. 1t is in universal demand
on the west coast Of South America. and is con-

Indians. Scarcely a single hut in the interior

principal attraction at social meetings.
