BICYCLE "SCORCHERS."
Unfit Physically to Serve as Sol.
diers in the Army.

CHICAGO, June 30.-Dr. S. c. Stan
ton, who has charge of the examination
of recruits for the regular army in
this city, has caused a sensation among
medical men by declaring that an ha-
bitual fast rider of bicycles, or a
''scorcher,'' is unfit physically to serve
as a soldier in the army.
He made this the subject of one of
his severesd tests in his examina tions
of applicants for enlistment and many
men have been rejected because of a
bicycle heart" as the practitioners
term it, caused by excessive exercise in
riding a wheel.
The doctor said 1.-The persistent
scorching or fast riding has a tendency
to enlarge the heart, and thus interfere
with its proper function Few enthusi-
astic bicyclists can resist the tempta-
ton to 'scorch, and as consequence
the hearts of a large proportion OF this
class of riders are more or less af-
fected. They would be able to en-
dure the hardshipS that the army inn
poses, and should not be permitted to
enter the service. The excitement at
tendant upon war is also exceedingly
severe to those whose hearts are in
any degree affected
