THE BICYCLE HEART.
Interesting Comment offered by the
British Medical Journal


London, July 7.-Several well known
French cyclists have lately, the British
Medical Journal points out, been re-
jected unfit for military service by
reason of hypertrophy and other dis
eases of the heart. "a contemporary,
representing, no doubt, lay opinion. pro-
fesses establishment at this result But
medical men will be rather surprised
that the numbers are so small There
must be few of US who have not seen
the i'll effects of over eXertiOn on q BIZ
cycle. The cOmmonest is palpitation
and temporary dilation; but even this
is sometimes very difficult to cure. In
a case which occurred recently, a lady
ordered for a fortnight's change of air
after influenza, chose to spend it in BIZ
cycling about so miles a day. AS a
result she has had ever since that time
now nine months ago-a pulse which
on the least exertion rises to 120,
though she has not ridden again That
temporary dilation occurs is enough to
show the great strain put upon the
heart, and it is an added danger that
the sense of fatigue in the limbs is so
slight. The rider is thus robbed of the
warning to which he is accustomed to
attend, and repeats or continues the
strain upon his heart. AS in other SIM
liar cases. the effect is to render that
dilattOn- permanent which was at first
but temporary, and to. cause an in
crease in the muScIe of the heart by re-
peated exertion. The heart produced is
of large dimensions and of thick walls
"a condition which may, perhaps, give
little uneasiness to it's owner, but which
a medical man will view with consider
able distrust and apprehension. Weak
ly and elderly people can not be too
often told that no exercise is more
easily abused, though, if taken in sensi-
bic measures, few are more healthfuI

belonging to the United tSates, or which

quence of injuries sustained in action. of

New York, July T.-Sir Thomas J.

ganized an Anglo-American fraterniza-
ton meeting on the Cunarder Cam

ed yesterday for his home on the
steamship Lucania, with a handsome
silk flag presented to him, as the ship
was about to leave her dock by the
Empire State Society Of the Sons of
the Revolution. Mr.. Edward A. Sum-

the flag was handed to Mr. Upton by
Clifford W. Hartridge. Mr.. Sumner

val, who asked Sir Thomas to accept
the flag and take 1t to his English
home as a memorial of his outspoken
love for the signers' native land and
the cause of liberty for which her boys
were fighting and dying today.
Sir Thomas said he would entwine the
flag with the British jack at his home
in London. He said that when he ar
rived at Chicago he found that there
was no American flag on the pork
packing establishment in which he was
interested. He ordered the flag to be
raised and kept flying night and day

she was seized by the arm and drawn

A moment later the Inflated steamer
disappeared and a whirlpool encircled
the spot where the noble craft had

Mrs LaCasse had been on the edge

A boat containing 10 women capsized
and all went down in the whirlpool.
There was not one man in this boat,
and it was left fast to the davits. Some
of the women were trying to cut the
ropes when the steamer careened and
capsized the boat.
