ternal form of the body will, of course,

The same subject is occupying the
attention of the medical profession all
over the world
The Academy of Medicine of France
has been discussing it. DIR. Petit, an
eminent Partisan physician, stated
that he had met with three cases Of
persons suffering from heart disease
in whom death seemed to be acceler-
ated by the practice of cycling. He
also argued that as in the streets Of
Paris there are at the present time
no fewer than 100000 persons who
ride on cycles, and that among these
| there must be one in every hundred
| suffering from cardiac disease, the
danger of cycling is much greater
than is generally supposed. In per-
sons of middle age, like those to whom
DR.. Petit referred-One Of whom was
sixty and the other two forty years
| Old-there must be a maximum of
danger from the pursuit.
He held also that among the young
who were not suffering from actual
cardiac disease the excitement incl
dental to travelling through the streets
of a crowded city in the midst of the
most varied traffic was of necessity
attended with bodily risk, both from
external collision and from internal
strain and injury.
The Lancet the leading English
medical journal, IN a recent issue
says:
1--WE have admitted that many Of
the experiences that have been
learned about cycling are among the
n.arvels Of the century-the attain
ment, for instance, of an art that en-
ables a man to compete, not with q
horse, but, far beyond that, with q
steam engine, coursing away at twen-
| ty-five miles an hour. We have treat
ed on some advantages of cycling to
| the aged, and have shown that the
muscles of an cctogenarian can be
redeveloped to a great extent by the
exercise. We have honestly admitted
, every word that can fairly be spoken
in favor Of the exercise. But we have
; given equally honest attention to its
J faults and dangers, and we shall con.
tinue to do so, assured that the pro-
fession and the public at large will
listen to what we hope is a judicial
, and altogether unbiased expression,
, until through the whole Of the cycling
community sensible reforms and mod
J crate counSelS have asserted their
power over dangerous competitions

worth of potatoes into the basement,
and when he did it gave him a s.
bill"
This was Mrs. Fifty-second street.
"He gave me twenty ty-fve-cent
piece, and then counted four one
dollar bills. 1 don't see - what
made him SO nervous, poor MAJ He
wet his finger and thumb and lifted
up the ends of the four bills over and
over until l lost patience and just
took the money from his hands and
went into the house with it. When
/ happened to want some more money
L discovered that he had given me
only three one-dollar bills, one Of
them folded SO that both ends were
between the ends Of the other two.
You see, he had counted each Of
those two ends for dollar. Think
how badly he'll feel when he discov-
ers it! He may even think I suspect
he did it purpOsely to cheat me.
When do you think he will return it?'
"When fiim-fammers have grown
honest" replied Mr.. Fifty-second
street, and his wife wondered what
that had to do with it.

TO THE CYCLE FIENDS
A FAMOUS SURGEON TALKS SEN
SIBLY TO MEN.
He Tells of Unpleasant Things That
May Happ en- if They Don't Sit
Properly in Their Saddles.

It appears inevitable that a ma
jority of the human race will before
long move bout on bicycles. This
adoption Of a new means of lOcOmo-
ton necessa. rily has a very important
bearing on the physical welfare of the
race. and biz cyclists should have some
regard not My for their own health
but for that Of posterity.
The New York World has sought
the opinion O. I this subject of the most
eminent ord lopaedic surgeon and
specialist on ffections of the spine in
this or any o. ther country. He has
been interestes good deal in the
bicycling quest ion and took the op-
portunity to Civ e some earnest advice
to bicyclists.
DR.. Sayre is b imself strong, we'll
preserved old Ut, IN of the type which
has been folIowe ID pretty closely by
the human race since the time of
Adam, and he is really panied at the
thought that a spe cies more like hob
goblins than men may in the future
be evolved by the Use of the bicycle.
'In my daily walk in Central Park, >"
said DR.. Sayre, t'I have been very
much struck by the number of young
men who ride bicycles in harmful
positions. They lean over till their
noses almost touch the front wheel,
their arms fixed to the handles with
the rigidity of death, their chests
caved in and their backs bent into a
semicircle. The girls ride in better
positions than the men as rule, be-
cause their feminine self-respect pre-
vents them from making themselves
ridiculous.
II have spoken to several of the
young men in the park about it, say
ing to them: Now, my boy, why
don't you sit up like that pretty girl?
This usually had the effect of making
them get into better positions and
also of making them feel uncomforta-
BILE.
''They tell me that they stoop be-
cause the resistance of the wind is de-
creased in this position and they get
more purchase on the wheels. But
the exercise, if it really necessitates
such a position, is worse than useless.
The bicyclists should take time and
not be in such a feverish hurry.
"I believe that a bicycle, if ridden
in a proper position, with the bach
straight and the chest thrown out
provides a good exercise for physical
ly sound people.
"But as it is, great many '1lIst be
doing themselves harm by their man
ner of riding. The bent position is
almost certain to do harm to a weak
spine and is liable to cause injury to
fairly strong one. If these bicy-
clists appreciated little of the mis-
cries of spinal disease they would
certainly meld their ways.
''As such vast number of people
are riding bicycles, the notifications
of their bodies, brought about by the
exercise, may become hereditary in
the race If the theory of evolution
is correct and the bad manner of rid
ing I have described becomes general,
the people of the future will be very
curious in appearance Their legs
will greatly increase in size, and the
knees will be developed in a remark
able manner by the great amount of
work which the pedaling exercise
