THE STRAIN OF IT.
Mountaineering Ii Only Hesithful for
Some People.

L
Some People.
Can we regard mountaineering as in
the main and for the MAS of tourists
a safe and healthful amusement? This
In a question which cannot be answered
without considerable reserves and
qualifications. Mountaineering by
which we mean ascents of 10000 or IL,
600 feet and upwards-involves much
strain and severe fatigue. The strain
is first upon the muscular system; but
1t affects even more Importantly the
circulatory, respiratory and nervous
mechanisms. In some persons the
heart seems to feel the tax most, in
others the nervous system is chiefly at
fected. Palpitation and mountain
sickness"-the latter in all probability
q neurosis-are the two chief difficult
ties that beset the average mountain
eer.
1t Is clear from these considerations
that mountaineering is not for every
body. There must be first of all, a
sound general physique, considerable
endurance and the capacity for pro-
longed and continuous effort. But it
is not at all so generally understood
that a sound heart muscle-a well-de-
yeloped and well-exercised myocar-
dium-is indispensable for any con-
siderable mountaineering feats. Hence
any suspicion of structural heart dis
ease is an absolute Contamination
for any such exploits. Further, the
heart must be not only structurally
sound. but well exercised and in good
condition. Hence, sedentary livers.
who for IL months in the year have no
regular active exercise, should not en-
ploy their holiday months in mountain
eering. Yachting or fishing will be
much safer for such, and perhaps not
less healthful.
Many Alpine accidents have been the
result of neglect of this very obvious
rule. For similar reasons mountain
cering should be eschewed by persons
in middle life who have not acquired
the requisite training in youth, and
even those who in the heydey of their
early prime delighted in the sport and
enjoyed many crowded hour of glo-
Iious life" on some Alpine summit
would do we'll to remember Horace's
maxim regarding the aged steed, and
bid timely adieu to exploits no long
er suited to their years. a certain sta
bility of the nervous system is indis-
pensable for mountaineering, but it Is
difficult to say anything precisely on
this head. Neurotic individuals not
only climb badly as a rule, but they do
not benefit by the air above a certain
moderate level. a certain GOODNESS of
nerve is necessary qualification for
the many ascents which involve actual
danger-danger usually avoidable and
seldom extreme, but not to be lightly
encountered by those deficient in stead
mess and sclf-control.-Lond Lancet.

A Big Python Fooled.

The big python in the London zoo
made up its mind some time ago that
life was not worth living, for it refused
10 eat sufficient food to keep it alive.
Its usual meal was four or five pigeons
or ducks, but it became too languid to
seize more than one of them when they
were put into it's cage. Its keeper in
this emergency had recourse to a
stratagem which has completely
fooled the python. Before the pigeon
had been swallowed the keeper pushed
into its mouth dead duck and before
that had been disposed of the regula-
tion number of birds followed the
same way. Thus the python takes his
usual quantity of food without know
ing it.-N. Y. World.

SHOOTS WITH ONE ARM.
A California Hunter who Kills Game ia

A California Hunter Who Kills Game to
support Family of Seven.
For % years Thomas Allen, of Mon
terey, familiarly known as ALLEN the
Hunter" has been making living for
seven people with his left arm and n
gun. One day when he was about Is
years of age he was out hunting ducks
on the Monterey lagoon. In some man
ner his gun caught and was discharged,
wounding him in his right arm, near
the shoulder. He lay in the tules with
his arm bleeding profusely until he was
picked up by some men who CHANGED
to pass, and was taken to his home.
DIR. Garfield, of Monterey. and DR.. Cal
lahan, of San Francisco, both noted
physicians in the early days of Califor-
mia, held n consultation. Owing to the
great loss of blood they pronounced the
boy beyond the reach of medical aid.
His mother, however, called in an old
Indian herb doctor, and before the
year was out the boy was as well as
ever, but minus his right arm.
Young Aliens father was famouS
marksman, and the boy seemed to in
herit a strong taste for hunting. When
he was only four years old he would
beg to go with his father to shoot the
little cats as he called the cotton
tail rabbits which infested Monterey
in those days. When five years old
his career as hunter began, for his
father took him out in q field adjoin-
ing their home, placed the gun over
a chair, and let him shoot at one of the
little cats. He killed it, and from that
moment he has always had n mania for
hunting all sorts of game,
When Mr.. Allen was Is and the nc
cident occurred that resulted in the
loss of his right arm he thought that
his hunting days were over. AS his
father died shortly before, part of the
support of the family devolved upon
him. At first he tried the gaming table,
as IL seemed his only resource.
'In those days." said he, in speaking
of the matter recently, 1870 gold pieces
were more common than nickels are to-
day. But l didn't like the ups and
downs of a gamblers life and the as
sociations, so l gave 1t up and deter
mined to learn to shoot with my left
arm.'-San Francisco Examiner.
