.Dicycle Catnrrh."
ON the Louisville Post.

From the Louisville Post.
1t would occasionally seem as II some
physicians devote much of their time to
hunting up reasons why mankind should
give up the wheel. Long ago IT was the
bicycle hump, then the bicycle face, these
being followed by the bicycle voice and
other equally serious troubles, all of which
have been laughed to scorn by depotees of
the wheel Now comes a medical person of
Philadelphia with the alarming information
that bicycle catarrh Is among the perils
that must be faced by those who ride
wheels. Says this Quakertown Galen:
It's no fancied i'll. this bicycle catarrh,
and it's putting lots of money into the
pockets of eye specialists ana opticians as
well as physicians whose practice is gen.
eral. The bicycle crank. you know. nearly
always overdoes the sport and rides five
times as far and five times as long as he
ousht to. His own motion creates a con-
tirfal wind pressure on his face. and the
strain upon eyes, ears, nose and throat Is
abnormal. / have found IN my practice
that three wheelmen out of every ten are
afflicted with catarrh in q more or less ad-
vanced stage. the condition generally af-
fecting the eyes. The same state Of af.
fairs Is noticeable in motormen, locomotive
engineers and others who are constantly
facing the wind. but the modern instru-
n ent Of locomotion is responsible for such
large increase in the number of cases
that we feel perfectly justified in calling
the ahment bicycle catarrh.'"

Some ninety miles down the Potomac a
long narrow neck of land runs out into
the river from the Maryland shore. Com
ing down by boat from Washington it ap-
pears in the distance as a line of pines out
lined against a strip of white sand and a
sheet of blue water beyond. AS one draws
nearer the lighthouse. picturesquely stand
ing out the point together with groups
and few moments later you are at Piney
Point.
As the boat steams away leaving you on
bearings. you discover that you have land

long or short. it will at all events be time
