Dangers of Cycling In Hot Weather.
The world is largely composed OF TWO ''e't'.
classes Of people those who don't. don't
know how to take care Of themselves,
and those. who, possessing that hat knoWl-5 ".
edge, have not sufficient self-controi to to-
utilize it. For. such as these partlcu-
larly, and for the public generally, Ut,
j. r. Whitmyer gives some valuable
hints as to bicycling in very hot wealth
er. The habit os stopping by the way
side and Immediately indulging IN
drink Of iced water, cold beer, lemon
ade or any other drink is to be con-
demned and carefully avoided. The
cyclist should sit down and get thor
oughly cooled off before drinking any
thing that is cold. The practice OF
avoiding intense thirst by chewing
gum may be INDUCED in safety if the
pure and 0ld-fashioned spruce gum is
used, but the chewing Of the modern
gums" impregnated with all sorts OF
powerful havering substances, may
prove actually more injurious to the
stomach than the sudden shock IN
ficted on it by ice-cold drinks. People
need to be very sure they are abso-
lutely free from any sort of heart
trouble before they ride uphill, and
even then, if they are prudent, they
will not do it. The wise bicyclist never
rides up hill. Riding up hill is always
dangerous thing, but particularly SO
in warm weather. It causes the heart
to overact at a furious rate, and this
oyeraction, when continued for any
length Of time, must eventually cause
an enlargement or di1ation Of the Or
gan, with such symptoms as shortness
Of breath, rapid and feeble heart action
and loss of flesh and strength. The
bicyclist who is not consumed with
vanity dismounts at the foot of the
hill and wheels his machine to the
summit. Another most serious danger
to the health Of the whee1man is in
riding Immediately after a meal The
wheel should never be mounted until
the process Of digestion is well under
way-say, from an hour and half to
two hours. Long rides should never be
taken without proper training. Many
young people, who cannot stand the
prolonged strain Of century rum"
do themselves an injury which may
not be recovered in weeks by attempt
ing to do so. Another danger to cyclists
is sunstroke. In taking long rides in
the country it is best to ride before
noon and after O'clock i'll the after
noon. When seized with a feeling Of
exhaustion fatigue, headache, Of faint
ness the rider should dismount at once
! and lie down in cool and shady place.
Riders who are subject to such seiz-
