Overexertion In bicycling.

DIR. Aibu recently made an interes ting
communication to the Berlin Medical Socie-
ty on certain effects produced on the heart
and other internal organs by overexertlon
In cycle races. His conclusions were based
on the condition of twelve professional cy-
ellis IS whom he had examined both before
and after races lasting from five to thirty
minutes. The strain thrown on the heart
"as shown by well-marked dyspnoea, and
by the strong pulsation of the heart and
arteries, but the most remarkable fact was
an acute dilatation of the heart, especially
OF the left ventricle. This dilatation Is, of
ccLrse temporary, disappearing when rest
has been taken and returning on the coca
son Of the next race. When overexertion
Is frequent this dilatation may become per-
manent, and In a heart that was previously
weak an irreparable injury may occur. An
other symptom was the presence of albu-
men and casts in the urine, caused by the
kidneys being irritated by the effort Of
cycling. DIR. Albu believes that cycling In
me deration Is for most persons a very salu-
tary form of exercise, and he explained
that the dangers he had described were
OILY incurred by professional riders and
competitors at matches.

He thinks Edhem Pasha is a great gen.

glad at the prospect of peace, but they
are good soldiers. and the junior officers
and men showed wonderful devotion to

Be Built ut the Navy Yard.
On the recommendation Of Chief Naval
Constructor Hichborn, the contract for the
the Washington navy yard for use in
testing miniature men-of-war, has been
awarded to the Pennsylvania Bridge Com
pany of Beaver Falls, Pa, at its bid of
$4,000. which was the lowest bid received
for the work. The tank will he the first
of its kind in the country. and the largest
under cover. Its dimensions closely ap-
proach those of the big dry docks, and the
depth will be sufficient to float any of the
smaller cruisers. On all sides it will be
covered, and the water will be supplied by
the city reservoirs or pumped from the
Potomac.
From end to end the tank will be just
800 feet long and fifty feet across, and in
Its depth will be IA feet. Running across,
close to the water, will be a carriage upon
which there will be attached a dynamo
meter to register the resistance due to
towing model through the basin. Models
varying in size from ten to twenty feet, of
every new ship to be built will be attached
to this machinery and drawn through the
water. The wave motion will be observed
and the resistance it offers will be calcu-
lated.
The models will be plain affairs, con-
ing closely the actual lines of the ship 1t Is
proposed to build. Through these expert
ments it Is calculated that the plans of the
proposed vessels can be improved and valu-
able advance informa ton gathered for use
In the work of general construction.

WHY DIsMIssALs ARE MADE
Only One Official known to Keen ,
Record of the Reasons.

Only One Oficial Known to Keen N
Record of the Reasons.
Since the reinstatement of large number
Of ex-Union soldiers by the present ad-
ministration considerable embarrassment
has been caused by the failure of the rec
ords OF the departments to show why dis
missals were made. Men have been REIN
stated upon representations that they were
the victims Of prejudice against soldiers
who had been strong republicans since the
war. and over whom were placed men who
had fought in the confederacy
After reinstatement in several instances
it has been learned that the men were re-
moved from the service for good cause,
about which the records Of the departments
made no suggestion. This fact has been
discussed by members of the cabinet and
the necessity for keeping a record Of rea-
sons why clerks have been removed has
been strongly urged by some officials.
So far as is known, Col Ainsworth, chief
OF the record and pension bureau Of the
War Department, Is the only official who
keeps a record of reasons for. removals of
clerks from his Office. He keeps what are
known as the sealed records of his office,
and he has rule by which these records
are never even referred to except In cases
cause Of intoxication the records will make
clear disclosure of that fact The adj
visibility of extending this practice to all
branches Of the government will be further
discussed, with view OF protecting the
government, becauee many dismissals are
made for causes which seriously reflect
upon the character Of the men involved.

LONG EXAMINATION OVER.
Satisfactory Working of the Pneu-
matte Machinery on the Terror.

Satisfactory Working of the Pneu-
matte Machinery on the Terror.
According to a report just received at
the Navy Department, the whole system
of pneumatic machinery on the big moni-
tor Terror works with accuracy, rapidly,
ease and regularity. The examination Of
the pneumatic system covered a period of
five months, and the board describes as
excellent the behavior of the turrets
suns and steering gear, which are OPP
Grated by air pressure.
1t has been repeatedly demonstrated that
when the ship Is at a speed from six to
eight knots, and there is a pressure in the
steering cylinders Of rs pounds per square
inch, the helm can be moved by the air
piston from hard over one side to hard
over the other side (6S degrees) in seven Sec
onds. The only criticism made by the
board relates to the air COMPRISING en-
gines. These. it declares, are Of obsolete
type and run at low speed, and a recon-
mendation is made that they be replaced
by compressors of recent design, which
run at high speed.

PETTIGREw AMENDMENT TABLED.

Two Democrats Voted With the Re-
pubIicanx I'm the Affirmative.
The Senate made a great stride forward
yesterday by completing the consideration
of the sugar schedule Of the tariff bill, ex-
which went over. This schedule has been
the storm center of the entire bill, and
with 1t disposed of there is a better pros
pect for speedy action on the bill as a
whole. Tie first paragraph OF the sugar
schedule has served to bring out all the
speeches and the test votes, and when this
was passed early in the day, the other
paragraphs of the schedule were agreed to
without further opposition. AS agreed to,
the schedule places on sugar not above
No. 10 Dutch standard one cent per
pound, and .03 of cent for every degree
at owe -, and on sugar above No. 10
Dutch standard 1.05 cents per pound, but
or sugars testing below 81 degrees by the
polariscope enc cent per pound shall be de-
Quoted. The other provisions of the sched
ule relate to maple sugar, maple sirup,
cardy, etc.
The Pettigrew amendment, relating 10
trusts, DEVELOPED considerable divergence
of view on both sides of the chamber, the
two Alabama senators. Messrs Morgan
and Pettus, joining Mr.. Hoar. Massachu-
sets. in opposition. Mr.. Allison finally
tested the sense of the Senate by moving
TO table the amendment. which motion pre-
vailed: yeas, 35: nays, 80: two democrats,
Morgan and McEnery, voting with the re-
publicans to table, and thus turning the
fcale against the amendment.
Consideration of the agricultural sched-
ule was then resumed, the butter para
graph being agreed to as reported.

WOMAN's HORRIBLE DEATH
Mrs. Mary Carr Dies From Burns. Re-
suit of Accident,

Mrs. Mary Carr Dies From Burns, Re-
suit of Accident.
Mrs Mary Carr, who resided on I, street
northwest between North Capitol and LIST
streets was fatally burned, about o'clock
yesterday afternoon. her death occurring
five hours later at the Emergency Hospital.
The circumstances of the unfortunate af-
fair, as afterward ascertained, were that
MIS- Cars clothing caught fire from the
Kitchen stove. and being unable to subdue
the flames. she ran out into the alley
screaming for assistance. So loud were her
agonizing cries that big crowd soon gath
cred, and every effort possible was made
to save the woman's life, but they were
without avail.
Mrs. Carr was about forty-flve years old,
was a widow, and had a son about seven
teen years old. Mother and son lived in
the mouse ON l. street. where they kept
small store. and yesterday, when her cloth
ing took fire. tine mother was alone in the
mousse Her health was not the best, and
at times she was very feeble and hardly
able to keep on her feet.
1t is supposed that she had one of her
weak spells and that she fell on the stove.
She had hardly reached the alley before
one of the neighbors was there with buck
ct OF water, attempting to extinguisn the
names. Others came with blankets and
clothing, and the suffering woman was
carried into the house. Soon afterward she
was taken to the hospital, where she died
about 10 o'clock.
Before death relieved her sufferinss her
son and priest from St Aloysius Church
called and the latter administered the last
Rites of the church
AS the burning resulted from accident
the coroner decided that no inquest was
necessar The unfortunate victim was
literally burned from head to foot. She
had also inhaled the flame and there was
no possibility of saving her life. Her
funeral will take place from her late home.
