a couple Of tables. His lungs were free
and his respiration normal. He did not
seem to be suffering from fatigue. All
the organs in the apper portion of his
body were found to be in remarkably
healthy condition. But below the hips
some of these conditions seemed re-
versed. The great fexor and extensor
muscles in his thigh and calf were
found to be highly excited. The thigh
muscles seemed to be beating like the
pulse in an ordinary mans wrist, and
they were corded and punched as hard
as iron. Below the hip line Michael
was warmed up; above as cool as Gu
cumber. This state of affairs is explain
ed by the medical men as indicative Of
the way the man works. He holds his
body rigid without effort, while his
legs do all the work propelling his 12O
gear. His heart and lungs are large
and strong enough to keep his vitality
up to the requirements of severe exer-
ton without showing it by increased
action The doctors unanimously ex-
pressed establishment that such d.
minutive physique (Michael is only 4
feet 111h inches talD could be capable
of the enormous exertion necessary in
driving a wheel at the rate of some
thing over thirty miles an hour for fif-
teen miles.

The introduction of electricity into
the uses of everyday life has brought
the electric fan for cooling apartments
during the summer At first the price
of these was so great that only large
concerns could afford them. Then, too,
electric power was not SO common.
Now there are few fat buildings which
are not supplied with -dynamos and ap-
planes for electric lighting. The
price Of the fans is only about half
what 1t was, and Offices small restau-
rants, stores and private apartments
are now cooled by this process. But
the cost Is still larger than it should be
and when the fans can be had for $40
or less there will be a much larger
number in use. It may be that the
apartment house Of the future will
have it's cooling apparatus just as it
now has it's heating plant, and by am
monia rooms may be kept cool, no mat
ter what the weather is on the out
side.

There is great deal of sound sense
in the argument against our national
sin of extravaganza by japanese
whom Robert P. Porter met m that
country lately. Mr.. Porter was stay
ing at a Japanese hotel, living as usual
I'm apartments ON the American plan.
He paid what was equivalent to 1915
a day in our money. His Japanese
friend stayed in the same hotel, but in
the Japanese quarters, paying but Is
sen, or about 40 cents, a day. The
Oriental said to him: II am just as
happy and comfortable as you are. To
be sure, you have tables and chairs, and
washstands and pitchers, and a bed
stead and sofa. have nothing of the
sort A nice clean tatami mat and q
quilt is good enough bed for me. Then
you give so much more trouble at your
meals, with your tables and your
chairs, and crockery, glassware, knives
and forks, spoons, mustard and pepper
pots. My meals are served in my room
by a pretty maid who kneels before me
while eat, and chats and makes her
self interesting, looking after my, every
want at the same time. Then you cart
n lot Of unnecessary baggage around.
The hotel furnishes me with q nice
clean night robe, and 1 can buy a tooth
brush for sen or 60 You Americans
make too much effort to live" There is
no doubt that we clutter our lives with
alleged necessities or luxurieS which
are In reality nothing of the sort. Our
daily living has reached enormous ex-
pealses by our continually increasing
wants, which are merely extrava-
ganeeS, not at all necessary.

Badly Mixe0.

At a country station a little child,
owing to the rush Of q crowd of trip
pers, was pushed over in front of an
outgoing train. Quick as flesh q
workingman jumped into the four-foot
way, threw the child on the platform
and scrambled up himself; but scarce
ly quick enough, as the engine, in pass
ing, rolled him over on the platform.
Several people fastened at once to
his succor; but he rose uninjured, and,
with face expressive of extreme con-
Germ, drew out of his pocket colored
handkerchief containing his days
victuals, which he cursorily examined
and then ruefully exclaimed:
s'Confound It! Just my luck!s
what is the matter?" inquired the
crowd.

Although it but remotely concerns us
of the inland, it seems as though the
existence of two separate sets Of regu-
lations for the government of vessels at
sea, one put in force by this country
and the other by Great Britain, would
result surely in confusion and acct
dents. On the first day of July
new regulations went into opera
ton respecting the rule of the road
at sea by the two countries. Some of
these rules mean vastly different
things in the different codes and there
is no way for mariners to distinguish
between them. Life at sea Ks hazard
GUS under the best circumstances and
it seems little less than criminal to
mix such rules as existed before In a
way that they may be mistaken and
accidents result.

Jimmy Michael Examined by Boston
Physicians with Surprise.
Immediately after his record break
ing victory over McDuffie, in the nj
teen-mile race at the Charles River
Park, Boston, Jimmy Michael the
wonderful little Welsh rider, was sub
1ected to an exhaustive examination
by a number Of physicians. The oD-
seryations Of these medical men led
them to some surprising conclusions,
which may perhaps be summarized IN
the statement that the little bunch OF
grit and muscle rides from his hips
down. The hearts Of other racing men
examined by some Of the doctors had
been found to beat at tremendous speed
after a severe race, but MichaePs blood

Owing to the jealousy of the Gar it
Is said that the Kaiser's desire to meet
President Faure on the occasion of the
aatter's visit to st. Petersburg has been
baffied. No one but the Kaiser has the
slightest idea why he desired the meet
tng, but 1t is pity that the Car has
prevented it. 1t would have been in
teresting to know what the cratic
German monarch would have said and
done under those circumstances. Of
late he has done those things which
lead some to think that he might have
offered the olive branch to the repre-
sentative of his peoples traditional en-
emies, but then, again, he might have
tnsulted him. Perhaps It was not COM
mercial jealousy. but common wisdom
which actuated the Car after all.
