GYMNAsT1c INSTRUCTORS.
Those Of Modern Times Must BE Well
Equipped Both Physically
and Mentally.

Few realize the work that is exacted
of a gymna stun instructor or physical
director, as he is some times called.
Formerly the man who could box
skillfu,ly. wrestle adroitly, and exc
cute tricks on the bars or rings was re-
garded as the man for the place. Not
much attention was paid to his mental
caliber, and his social distinction was
away below the average. His work
never went beyond the gymna stun, and
was strictly confined to teaching men
the use of apparatus. He was not ex-
pected, nor did he feel called upon, to
look after the health of his pupils.
It is different now, and the change
has come gradually, says the New York
Times. Some years ago those interest
ed in the instruction of athletics and
gymnastic found that it was absolute
ly necessary to organize an institution
for the education in general gymnas-
tics of men who wanted to teach in the
"gyms." Accordingly, training schools
and schools for physical education
were organized. They soon became
popular. OF late these institutions
have been turning out men mentally,
morally and physically well equipped
for the work before them. This work
they have adopted is their life business,
and they are gradually pushing the I'M
educated out of the gymnasiums.
Intellectual, business, and profess
sional men seek the gymnasium all over
the country. There are also many re-
fined women in various institutions
who have sought the gymnasium. In
fact, in both mems and women's gym
nasiums it has become recognized that
a physician as instructor is what is
necessary. Already many men have
taken their degrees at schools of medi-
cine in order to better treat gymnas-
tics.
The gymnasium instructor or physic-
al director, does variety of work. He
is teacher, organizer, and adviser. He
selects men of strong character and
healthy body and trains them to be-
come leaders in gymnas,t.c and athlet-
ic work. He also uses them IS volun-
tary instructors in the gyms thus
giving himself chance to more thor
| oughly oversee the entire work of the
classes.

+s little later we find him sew

effort to make a covering for himself,

cool of the day discovering his shame
and providing for him a covering OF

least, magnificent and gorgeous ao-
vancement has been made in the adorn-

that matter-since those primitive
DAYS, Man has come to be known, to
a very great extent at least, by the
dress he wears, if not in this land OF
American simplicity, most assureoly
so in foreign lands where court cere-
monies require pomp and finery, ana
the least item of buckle or bit OF gold
lace is weighed with all the soiemnlty
and care of the profoundest matters
of state. Just at the present time this
is especially true in England, where
the elaborate plans for the coronation
of King Edward are being carefully
laid. All England is astir over the
matter. The upper quality, who ex-
pect to help Edward out on this i'm
portant occasion, are in an agony OF
feverish anxiety to conform to all the
minute specifications for court Dress
manners and conversation, while the
under mass, which expects to provide
the hundreds of thousands of awed
spectators for the affair, have already
begun to gaze and wonder.
Americans are not altogether dis1n-
terested beholders of all this, for three
of their countrymen are to represent
the United States at these momentous
ceremonies. Gen. James II. Wilson
for the army and Capt. Clark. OF the
navy, with Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, states
man and diplomat, have been selected
by the president to look after the hon

NEW LIFE STATISTICS.
That First-B0rn Live Longer
f.. Than other Children.

Not only life insurance experts
but great many other people also
have observed that longevity or the re.
verse runs in families. Some persons
have harder constitutions than 9th.
ers, and they are apt to transmit them
TO their children. A man both of whose
parents were long lived has promise
of a good, old age himself. This, OF
course, is an old story. A much less
familiar principle affecting the dura-
ton of life has been presented by Miss
Mary Beeton, of Cambridge, and Prof.
Karl Pearson, of London, in a new Pc
riodical called "Biometrika."
A comparison was made between tho
length Of the lives of two adult broth
ers or two adult sisters to ascertain IL
there was a perceptible difference be-
tween the older and younger members
of pair. The figures here given rep
resent the average of over 1000 cases.
and hence would seem to point to a
general law. It may be added that the
particular persons under investiga.
ton belonged to the Society OF
Friends. That organization placed its
records at the disposal of Miss Beeton
and Prof. Pearson.
It thus appears that the average
age of the elder brother was 1886
years, the younger brothers 54.575, the
elder sisters 1924 and the younger
sisters 55.667. There is a difference Of
over four years in favor of the older
brother or sister. This does not signi-
fv that the older brother or sister will
survive the younger. The mean inter-
val between the birth of the members
of all the pairs under consideration
was about six and half years. Hence
the older brother or sister would ordl-
| narily die first, though attaining .
greater age.
The first inquiry here mentioned
was limited to pairs the youngest mem
bers of which had attained the age OF
at least 81. A second comparison was
made that included minors with adults.
It gave results closely resembling the
other. The mean excess of life in
1883 pairs was 4.6 years. But the in
terval between the births appears to
| exert some influence. "Biometrika' S"
contributors furnish formula by
which ones expectations can be COM
puted. and adds: ''Thus, brother
born ten years before another brother
has probably seven years greater dura-
ton Of life. A sister born ten years be-
fore another sister has probably about
six years. greater duration OF life"

Native Aristocrats' Decadence.

Formerly many of the chiefs of
Orissa and the wealthy landlords of
Behar and Bengal used to keep ivory

times grant jagirs for the support of

These statistics of the beet sugar
industry show that after many years
of experiment and heavy loss to the
promoters it has assumed consider
able proportions. In 1900 more than
one-third of the sugar produced in
this country came from beets, while
the equipment of the present fac
tories would easily have handled
more than 21a times the amount Of
beets they were able to secure. The
average quantity of beets worked per
factory in 1900 was but 26,4s9 short
tons, while the actual average ca
pacity per factory, based upon three
months work per year, was 10000
tons. Up to the present time it is
reported that a number of factories
in the country have paid a fair re-
turn on the capital invested, that 9TH
ers have paid expenses, and that 9TH
ers have lost considerable sums, but
altogether the industry is pronounced
a commercial success.

whisky from watermelons.

The colored people throughout the
country stand aghast at the report
that a firm of Baltimore distillers is
about to make whisky from watermel-

pie anticipate scarcity of watermel-

should be eaten in the old-fashioned

n. shape Of the Earth.

The exact shape of the earth is .
question which cannot be settled
without fresh evidence from the ant
arctic. For this purpose two at least
of the expeditions have been provided
with pendulum outfits; by noting the
exact length of time occupied by the
swing of a pendulum the distance OF
the place of observation from the
earth's center can be determined,
saws the Popular Science Monthly. 1t
is held that the south polar region
projects further from the plane OF
the equator than does the north polar
region; according to one estimate
the south pole is slightly more than
one-hundredth further from the
earth's center than the north pole.
