LONG SKATES FOR SPEED.
The Philosophy and Hygienics OF the Fa.
vorlte Winter Sport.

Tho Philosophy and Hygienics of the Fa-
vorite Winter Sport
Considerable time and ingenuity have
been expended recently in the efforts
to produce form of skate which will
combine lightness and convenience of
arrangement with great speed. The
scientific principle involved In this
work is far more complex than is gen.
orally supposed, and, as outlined by the
Scientific American, makes a very in
teresting study. Speed In skating Is,
Of course, attained by the proper appli-
cation Of every particle of motive pow
er. When the skater strikes out with
his foot he does not, however, as Is
generally supposed, obtain momentum
from the broad side pressure Of the
skate on the ice. The momentum In
gained by gradual and tapering pres
sure which commences at the head Of
the skate, since it is here that the
freshest and strongest force Is applied.
IL will be seen that the momentum Is
increased, therefore, by the pressure
exerted steadily and firmly outward
from the heel of the skate to the ex-
treme toe. The proper way to attain
great speed Is to strike out each foot as
close to the other as possible, to con-
tinue the stroke up to the toe, and
when once the extreme motive power
is passed to get the other foot in posi-
tion as quickly as possible. The prime
factors in producing speed, it will be
seen, are the full pressure on the ice
and the rapid movement of the legs
Working upon this theory, a long,
heavy skate has been manufactured,
with blade which extends several
inches beyond the foothold.

THIS MAY BE SPORT.
Mountaineering on the Golden Throne"
of the HimalAyna


of the HImaiAyns
Mr.. William Martin Conway, the
vice president of the Alpine club, de-
scribed before an Edinburgh audience
the other evening how he and two
friends, with Swiss guide and some
Sepoys, ascended the Golden Throne
peak in the Himalayas. They did not
quite conquer the throne, but assembled
TO the respectable height of twenty
three thorsand feet. The difficulties
in their way he illustrated by mention
ing that they spent nine and a half
hours in cutting steps In hard blue Ice
on the edge of a ridge exposed to the
full blaze of the sun, and in an atmos-
phere so raref1ed that they were rem
dered sick and dizzy. The party were
rewarded, however, for their toll by
some magnificent views of the sur
rounding peaks in the light of the set
ting sun.
When they set off on the return
journey darkness had set In, and the
perils of the journey were thereby
greatly increased. They finally
reached a slope of ice, on which there
was nothing left for it but to sit down
and fly forward into the darkness at
headlong speed. Right In front of
them they knew there yawned q
crevasse more than thousand feet
deep, and the only way to cross this
was to slide down the slope with
enough impetus to carry them over the
edge on to the other side. Their sensa-
ton, Mr.. Conway said, as they sudden
ly left the solid ice and found they had
nothing to sit upon but space was ex-
hilarating in the extreme.
Fortunately they landed safely on
the other side, and continued their de-
scent, literally keeping up the mo-
mentum they had gained until they
were carried within three or four yards
of their tent
