VALUE OF EXERCISE.
Development the Result of Heredity, En-
vironment and Activity.

Development the Result of Heredity, En-
| vironment and Activity.
| Physical exercise. like all other
things, has had its ups and downs.
| When Greece and Rome had the upper
hand, the physical was most cultvat-
ed. In the 18th century things physi-
| cal had a downfall. The reaction
| toward physical inactivity was as great
as was formerly it's strivings after an
ideal. 1t was early in the 18th century
when more interest was taken in these
things; this interest increased until
now physical education is recognized
in the school, college and university
as an essential part in the education
and all-around development of the
youth.
Since it is through the physical that
we come in contact with an influence
our fellow beings, and as so much de-
| pends upon physical conditions, it is
not entirely out of place to discuss
such subject before a body of this
kind.
Development and an approach
else. If growing nerve cell never
sends an impulse over It's axon it can
not become on efficient nerve cell.
A growing muscle fibre which never
contracts fails to develop into a
healthy adult fibre. A growing gland
which never secretes it's fluid does not
become a perfect gland. Without ex-
ercise there is no true growth, and
when exercise ceases degeneration sets
in. Activity is the law of growth.
Development is the result of three
factors-heredity, environment and ac-
tivity. These terms hardly need de-
fining here, yet for our purpose we will
say a word concerning each.
Heredity is the expression of the
structure and character Of the fertil-
lied ovum from which all the cells of
the body are derived. 1t gives us the
living material upon which to work,
and at once determines the possibili-
ties, the limitations and to certain
extent the course of training.
Environment, both of the body as a
whole and of each of its units, the liv-
ing cells. This includes the external
conditions of life as we'll as the chem
ical and physical character of the
blood. Under it are included the food
supply, surrounding temperature,
clothing, the care of the young by pa
rents, hygienic condition of the dwell
ing, etc.
Activity of the individual cell of the
body as a whole. BY activity is meant
not simply muscular activity that is
merely activity of one kind of cell
the muscular fibre. A nervous impulse
from nerve cell is another case of
activity. A gland cell performing it's
function normally is still another case.

The Little Great Man.

During the American revolution the
captain of little band of soldiers was
giving orders to those under him about
heavy beam that they were endeav-
oring to raise to the top of some mill
tary works which they were repairing
The weight was almost beyond their
power to raise, and the voice of the
superintendent was often heard:
"Heave away. There it goes! Heave
ho!"
An officer, not in military costume,
was passing, and asked of the super
intendent why he did not give help
ing hand. The latter astonished,
turned around with all the pomp of an
emperor and said: Sir, | am cor
poral."
$ ask your pardon, Mr.. Corporal"
the man replied, and taking off his hat,
he bowed, saying, Il was not aware of
the fact"
Upon this he dismounted and pulled
till the perspiratlon stood in drops on
his forehead and when the beam was
raised, turning to the little great man,
he said: Mr.. Corporal. when you hsve
another sucn job, ana have not men
enough, send for your commander-in-
chief, and | shall gladly come and help
you second time"
The corporal was thunderstruck. 1t
was Washington. This goes to illus
trate that a man. though great. may
always find one who is greater.

A Problem in Physics.

r. c. Mack, who has been a puzzle
to the scientific and sporting
worlds for number of years.
is in the city and will mysti-
fly any man of muscle who believes
himself capable of lifting a few
pounds. A few pounds is the real
weight of the mystery, and yet all
the champion strong men of vaude-
vile and arena fame have tried in
vain to lift him from the floor
There is something about Mack
which cannot be explained by ordin
ary rules of gravitation or muscular
force. Stood upon pair of scales he
barely registers 125, but at his will
he can become so attached to the plat
form of the scales that five men can
not bulge him. He has travelled all
over the country and experts in lift
ing. from man who successfully lifted
a Kansas mortgage to Sandow, at
tempted in vain to lift him.
Different scientists advance their
theories for the strange power which
he has possessed from childhood, and
which is of as much mystery to him
as it is to all others. Virchow. the
celebrated Berlin savant. says that it
is nerve force while Charcot. the
French hypnotist, says that it is a
control of the occular forces. Be it
what may, he has it, and goes about
causing strong man to marvel and
lightweights to envy.-Cieveland

To Save the California Redwoods.

Principally through the efforts of a
society organized for the purpose, the
state of California has appropriated
$250,000 for the preservation of the
great Redwood forests, near Santa
Cruz. The area purchased is not very
large, and the best Redwoods are
found further north; it is de-
signed to acquire these later. This
comprises strip of several thousand
acres in the neighborhood of Humboldt
bay, running from the ocean back to
the summit of the coast range. Two
or three million will be sufficient to
make the entire purchase. and it is
generally regarded as money we'll
spent.

The word antelope as used in the

back further than the fourth century
of our era. and is probably derived
from Anthelops, the late Greek name

smallpox, which has been unusually
prevalent in the United States and
Canada this summer, need hold no
terrors for the individual devoted to
buttermilk. Unlimited indulgence in
that wholesale beverage is said to be
cure for dread disease.
During the recent Ashantee cam
paign the megaphone was tried by the
British officers for giving orders, since
the columns traversing through the
African bush wer ESQ long that it was
impossible to convey orders in the
usual way. The experiment was un

An instrument called the gradome-
ter has been designed to enable the
occupants of any vehicle to determine
at glance every inequality of the
ground over which they are travelling.
The new instrument may be attached

nickel-plated casing six inches long
containing curved glass tube filled

which acts the same as a spirit level.
The farmers in South Lincolnshire.
England, have been suffering from a
plague of insects called the mustard
bug, which devours the white mustard
crops. Several farmers have had acres
OF valuable crops destroyed by this
pest, and have been unable to dis
cover an eficacious remedy. They
have now resolved upon a curious ex
pedient. Flocks of chic ksneaermfwy

into the white mustard fields, and
since the bug is somewhat of a deli
cacy to the fowl it is anticipated that
the pest will be overcome and that the
crops so far untouched will be saved
The glucoside of the beech tree has
recently been studied by M. Talleur
whose experiments can be summarized
as follows: The shoot of the beech
tree contains a glucoside and dias-
tase which, under the action of water,
give rise to the methysalicylc ether
and to the glucose assimililated by the
plant. This reaction is localized in the
hypocotyl axis little above the sum-
nit of the root, and does not take
place in the seed or in the mature
Snoot. The formation of this methyl-
successful, however, because the thick
sa1icylic ether is thus characteristic
of the germinative period of the beech
tree.
Mr.. Stanley B. Hutt, a volunteer
with the British army in the Boer war
states that the Orange River colony
and the Transvaal abound in prehis-
toric remains, which are probably of
paleolithic origin. The heavy rains
and nature of the country make it very
favorable for archaeological research,
and he believes that a systematic ex-
animation would lead to very imRor
tant finds. During his marches he
managed to make quite a collection.
but was forced to part with most of it,
because of the army regulations re-

stones are of various sizes, although
apparently more or less uniform in
each locality, and occur in many places
scattered about the surface. They are

A great political mystery has at last
been explained. During the memorable visit
OF the Gar and CZarina to Paris a few
years ago Felix Faure committed what was
an almost objectionable breach of etiquette
and what envious diplomats wanted to turn
into an international incident At one of
the dinners he kept his imperial guests
waiting nearly an hour after the time set
for sitting down at the table. Faure was
nothing if not correct in matters of Ell
qUette. He studied them as carefully as he
did affairs of state, and he was as pune
tfliouS in the observance of the MANY rules
and regulations as only bourgeois raised
to high position can be- Therefore the Incl
dent was all the more remarkable. Now we
learn that Ii was the result of a contest be-
tween etiquette and gallantry and be II
ever said to the credit of the French
President that gallantry was the victor.
Just before their majesties arrived Faure
was summoned to the telephone. At the
other end of the wire was a countess
whose husband was a deputy and had
often been the Presidents host on shoot
ing parties. She told M. Faure that her
dress absolutely needed an alteration which
would require about twenty minutes She
could lot wear it as il was; no more could
she stay away from the dinner or come to
it after it had begun. Could the announce
ment of dinner be delayed? What posi-
ton for NJ. lie President, But he was n
Frenchman and the lady's request was
granted. But what excuse could he have
made to his guests when that twenty min
utes expanded into an hour? Was the
blame put on the maitre d'hotel or the
cook?
