1t seems impossible for the average
American to indulge in any sport in
moderation. Excess or nothing seems
10 be the rule. 1t was so with roller
skating and will be so with other
forms Of amusement. Wheeling may
come in again after many years. but
ii will never rage again. Most of those
who use the wheel now do 1t as a mat
ter of convenience in business and not
for pleasure. People of means are TAX

ers shall be affected and the cost and
annoyance of accidents shall become
serious that sport will in its turn de
cline.

Speaking of the disturbance the Rus
sian students are making. the Pail
Mall Gazette remarks: After all, it is
the younger generation knocking at
the door, and If the door is not opened
it stands a good chance of being
kicked in" The Russian police. in
other words, are wrestling with the
incorrigible. No doubt the police
would sooner deal with Anarchists or
Nihilists, whose heads they could bat
ter and whose lives they could shorten
without exciting the animosity of any
one except the professional King-kill-
er; but the gentlemen at st. Peters
burg say to the police: go ahead. Put
down that rebellion!" and the police
must either obey or resign. The sever
ity of their task may be understood
by imagining the police of Cambridge
and of New Haven trying to suppress
the Indignation of the students at Yale
and Harvard-and at Radcliffe, in ad-
dition. For we read that the Young
women of the Russian universities are
as eager for reform as are the young
men, and that they suffer Just as much
in their eagerness. Now it is an ex-
traordinarily serious thing for any
government to be openly at war with
Its young men and young women
with the younger generation. In a
spirit of fun or in moment of reck-
less enthusiasm our own college stu
dents may lightly mock some munich
pal ordinance; but as for defying the
police, and through them the officials
of the government, and as for being
logged into submission and bundled
into Jail by the score-that's matter
of darker hue. 1t seems that all those
who represent Russian youth In the
arts and the sciences are in state of
sedition. We fancy that Nicholas and
his coadjutors are not giving all their
attention to the Manchurian question,
The younger generation is inflamma-
bic, and Russia is foolish to be indif-
ferent to that fact.

The congestion of population in cities
is not peculiar to this country alone,
though 1t is probably more marked
here than elsewhere. 1t has prevailed

mercial and industrial activity pre-
walls. The growth of the German CAPT
tai, Berlin, for one example, has been
exceptionally rapid-for the continent
since German Industrial activity set
in within recent years. Until dozen
or fifteen years ago it was rather a
sleepy city, even after the consolida-
ton of the empire. but by 1900 it had
advanced to 1.S43,OO0 population and
stood fourth among the worlds cities.
London, New York and Paris outrank-
ing it and Chicago pressing close be-
hind it. Recently a new census has
been taken and it now numbers l,9O1.
561. showing growth at the rate of
about 10000 per year This rate has
been surpassed In Chicago and no
doubt this city now ranks fourth in
the world. 1t is a curious fact that
of the four cities of the world the pop.

100000 two are in the United States
the youngest in the list of consdera-

that the United States are the only one
OF the worlds nations that has more
than one city of more than 1000. 600
population. The last census gave lis
three and In equity should have given
US four, for the populous suburbs cIus-
tered closely about Boston are as truly
Boston as the Back Bay and Beacon
street regions themselves. Within a
radius of twenty five miles around the
capitol on Beacon hill there must be
considerably more than 100000 The
development of street railway lines
has checked the congestion or rather
spread it over wider space for each

Chemists Odd Will.

DR.. Won Jirusch. formerly professor
of chemistry at the University of Prague,
died recently and, as he had no family, he left
his entire fortune. amounting to about $15,-
OOO to the Prag que Museum.
In his will he said that he made this be-
quest on the following condition: His fur
niture, his linen, his silver plate, his paint
ngs. his books, his letters. the manuscripts
of his unfinished works, all the instruments
in his laboratory, and all the things which
he used while making his toilet, such as
his comb, brush, tooth brush, &c, were to
be carefully packed up, and then placed in
several strong iron boxes, which were to be
Theoretically sealed and were not to be
opened for two hundred years.
The authorities of the Museum will comply
with this condition, and In the year 21o2 al.
the property which belonged to DR.. Won
Jirusch will be placed on exhibition, so that
the scientists and the general public OF the
twenty-second century may obtain an ac-
curate idea Of the manner in which an Aus
TRAN chemist lived at the opening Of the
twentieth century.
If Dr.. Won Jirusch had been nothing but
chemist he would probably never have made
such a will. The reason why he made 1t was
because he has for years spent much of his
time in archaeological researches.

Queer Tribe In India.

In the Nellore district Of the Madras pres
idency live the Yanadis, a strange tribe,
AS may be seen from report which has.
been issued by the authorities of the Mad
ras Government Museum.
They live in forests, and that they are
little removed from savasery Is indicated
by the absence of mplemental or monu-
mental material, the animistic nature of
their religion, the primitive hunting and
fishing methods followed by many of the
tribe, and the habit of eating the almost raw
flesh of the game they kill, after slightly
heating or scorching it.
They are fearless in catching cobras,
which they draw out of their holes without
any fear of their fangs, and i. is supposed
that they protect themselves against the
effects Of snake bites by swallowing the
poison sacs of the snakes.
Especially singular is the manner in which
they produce fire by friction. For this pur-
pose they prepare two sticks. one short, the
other long. In the former square cavity
is made. and tits held firmly in the ground
while the long stick is twirled rapidly to
and fro in the hole. Instead of charcoal
powder they use rags, or even dried leaves
which they find little difficulty in lighting.

Most expert of silt walkers in the world
are those to be found in La Teste, in
France. The rural postmeu of this region,
the shepherds and farmers go about on tall
stills with perfect ease.
The stills worn by these people In their or
binary work frequently measure six feet or
more in height. Years of constant practice
has made everyone remarkably expert In
managing these artificial legs, and such 4
thing as fall is unknown.
A person who can add six feet to the
length Of his legs naturally has great ad-
vantage over those who must walk with
limbs OF ordinary length. The French farm
ers mounted in this way are almost a
match, in point of speed, for horse, and
shepherd can outrun a dog in rounding up
his sheep. The stilt walkers can even run
at surprising speed over very tough country
or through underbrush several feet in
height.

walkers and three pedestrians. Only one of

only about 30 minutes ahead Of the first
silt walker. The last OF the stilt walkers
completed the course II hours ahead Of the
first of the pedestrians.
The stills used by the French peasants are
entirely different from those sometimes used
by children in the United States. The stills
which serve as toys In America. as rule.
reach up to the armpits, or at least to within
reach of the hands. The French stills do not
reach even to the knee. The French stills
have, besides, much broader rest for the
foot.
The Frenchman never touches the sttlts
with his hands. They are strapped rfgidly
to his foot and leg, thus leaving both hands
free to carry his long staff Or any other
burden. All the silt walkers worthy OF the
name are able to mount their stills without
assistance. The children learn to walk on
great stills almost as soon as they can
walk, and men over so years old still retain
their curious artificial legs.
