have heard that when King Hudson,
in the zenith Of bis fame, was asked as
to what his railways we're to do when
all the coal was burned out, be replied,
that by that time we should have learned
how to burn water. Those who are asked
the same question now will often reply
that they will use electricity and doubt
less think that they have thus disposed
of the question. The fallacy of such
answers is obvious,
A SO called water gas" may no doubt
be used for developing heat, but it is
not the water which supplies the energy,
Trains may be run by electricity, but
all that the electricity does is to convey
the energy from the point where it is
generated to the train which is in mo
ton. Electricity is itself no more a
source Of power than is the rope with
which horse drags a boat along the
canal.
The fact is that a very large part Of
the boasted advance of civilization is
merely the acquisition Of an increased
capabiIity Of squandering. For what
are we doing every day but deyising
fresh appliances to exhaust with ever
greater rapidity the hoard of coal

Danger IN GraHA11& NAe A9ehs
IL Il wen known that tho connection
between the nerves in the feet, and espe-
eially those in the great toe, and the
brain and general nervous organization
is strong, Dr., Brown-Sequard mentions
a patient who, whenever he bore the
weight Of his body on the toes Of his
right foot, became violently insane. He
also speaks Of another case where pres
sure on the toe caused Severe nervous
paroxysins.
THESE cases simply show the impor-
tance of a proper care Of the feet, q por-
tion of the body that many people neg
lect. They think that they can crowd
their feet into tight shoes and abuse
them without serious results. They
can't do it, however. This crowding Of
five toes into a space not large enough
for three, results in pressing the joints
out Of shape and sometimes making
them inactive and poWerless, No man
with his toes half paralyzed can walk
properly. The control Of the toes Is
necessary for a springy step. Broad
soles and low heels give room for all tho
toes and allow perfect freedom Of action
to every muscle, People who have
false standards Of beauty for the feet,
however, insist ON wearing shoe that
ia not natural in shape, and the result ia
great discomfort, and in some cases
DEATH
AS consequence of these abuses we
are forgetting how to walk properly.
Perhaps you don't believe it, but just
watch the parade on Broadway some
fine afternoon and see how few men and
women walk on the street as II they
were not conscious Of tight shoes and
