Psychologists and lovers Of athletics
may be interested in recent experiments
and researches Of a French artillery
captain. NJ. de Raoul, who, some iif-
teen years ago. began to try and >dnd
out the most economical and least try
ing way Of walking. There are many
manners Of walking, says the Popular
Science News, some of which are much
devoid Of grace, but 1t may he supposed
that a. far AZ efficiency Is concerned
ono must be better than the others.
NJ. de Raoul has come to the c0nclu-
sion that, az far a. fast walking Ii con-
cerned, the best method Is that which
he calls marche enflexion. The prln-
ciple Is to run without leaplng, to raise
the body above ground as little az pos
slble, to keep the knees bent. the upper
part Of the body inclined forward, 80
that practically you are always running
after your center of gravity. The feet
must be raised only very slightly. NJ.
de IlaOul, who has now some years OF
experience, says that he can now take
any man between 20 and 60 and teach
him to run as long as his legs can carry
him without getting out Of breath.
Some men can, ON the very first trial
of the method. run seven or eight miles
without stopping, while. with the ordi-
nary tactics, they could not have run
over a mile. The first kilOmeter "a
kil0meter Is flve-eighths Of mile) Is
usually covered In seven minutes ind
n quarter, the second IN six minutes,
aud the third In five minutes and forty
five seconds. An interesting feature of
NJ. dc Raoul's researches IL that even
after long run, according to his meth
cd, stiff walk is no trouble at all;
the muscles which work in both cases
do not belong to the same set, and while
one exercise is performed the muscles
which minister to the other rest.

SILVER IN WASTE PAPER.

How the ClippinEs of Sensttisel
Photograph Papers Are CtiIi,el.
"Refiners of nitrate of silver for tho
use Of photographers" said one Of the
profession to the Minneapolis Tribune,
have agents travelling constantly
about the country collecting the waste
clippings of sensitized paper that &c.
cumulate in every photograph gallery.
They buy all they can find, and pay for
1t In new nitrate, allowing the photo
grapher q good round price for his
waste. The waste Is shipped 10 the re-
timers, where the nitrate In the paper
Is separated from 1t by chemical pro-
cess. and prepared for market again.
This re-refined nitrate Is az good as 1t
was originally. and Is sold for just as
much. The refiners, Of course. make a
big profit out Of the waste. and the pho
tOgraplier Is able to get Il good supply
of material for the scraps that would
otherwise be of no use to him.
when one thinks of the great num-
her of photograph galleries and the stu
dios In the country, and the fact that
the waste paper Of them all Is closely
gathered by the retiners ut a price that
will average 81 Il pound. he may get
some idea Of the proportions Of bust
ness that il utterly unknown outside
Of the persons directly interested. Not
only the scraps of silver sensltized pa-
per, but those Of the paper treated with
solutions Of gold. are eagerly sought by
tho retiners, and the photographer Is
always very glad to exchange his accu-
mutation of, to him. worthless waste
for neat stock of valuable nitrate"

Fog slsnalinE BY EIectricity.

A method Of fog signaling has been
introduced OH several branches of the
North London system of the Great
Northern railway of England, which
obviates much Of the unreliability and
completely Of the systems hitherto used.
A wire Is laid In a pipe, from the sig
nal box to the various signals. Mt which
brushes Of copper project some four or
five inches above the slpe of the rail
nearest the signal. A similar brush,
which connects with an Indicator and
bell on the engine, Is fixed to the ELL
CINE fOOt-plate. When the signal points
TO danger the two brushes come into
contact, and the ringing of the bell and
the warning Of the driver by a minia-
ture signal on tho engine that the line
Is not clear IL the result. The arrange
ment can be readily switched Off. in
fine weather, SO as to become inopera-
tive. This electrical device seems to be
tho most simple as we'll as the most
efficient means yet resOrted to for fog
signaling, and the Great Northern rail
way Intends to adopt 1t over the whole
of Its lines.

Curious Rites Performed by the Rul.

In order to emphasize the Importance
Of the cultivation of the soil and to en-

set out at daybreak from his place,
with numerous and magnificent train
OF courtiers aud others. Before break

Threatening Shakes of the Fist.
l would observe says n writer In the
Nineteenth Century. that the shaking
of the clinchcd hand as a dcmonstra-
tion Of hostility has apparently no rela-
tio'l in its origin with the custom of us
ing the fists after the manner of the
m.siliSt. The gesture Is In Use all the
world over, hut the custom of fighting
with the naked fists Is strictly local
and does not appear to have any very
great antiquity. A Frenchman or an
Italian will shake his fists much more
readily than an EnSlishman. yet nci-
thcr of these people has attained to
that pitch Of civilization marked by the
cl stem of arriving ut an agreement by
the disputants pounding one anothers
features. In every case, except where
the demonstration has some familiarity
with the art Of boxing, and has not lost
all selftontrol. the fist Is not displayed
in Il manner which suggests Its use as u
punching organ. but Is held as high as
the head with the line Of the knucklcs
