MUSCLES IN TENSION.
Are the Ones That Tire Soonest AL
though Doing No Work at
the Time.

The Revue Scientifque has been ask
ing what muscles tire soonest, with the
conclusion that it is not the muscles
in use. but those under tension. al
though doing no work. The writer
urges rs to use the arms and legs less
and the back and neck more. for on
them comes the greatest strain. He has
been asking men of all occupations the
same questions;
When you have worked much where
do you feel tired?
Before you were trained, did fatigue
show itself in the same regions?
All the answers point to the same
conclusions. The baker who kneads
dough all night complains of fatigue in
his legs.
The blacksmith is tired, not in his
arms and shoulders, but in his back
and loins.
The young soldier after a march, is
especially tired in the back of his neck,
even If he has carried no knapsack
The oarsman who is in perfect train
ing, after prolonged exercise gets tired
in his calves and insteps.
These facts point to the conclusion
that in any continued effort we should
try to alter the habit of contraction
That is to say, the body, like the mind,
needs change of work

southeast Mt st, Elias reaches up 49,
024 feet, and for many years held the
distinction Of being the highest point
in North America But that was before
Mount Logan, to the northeast of Mt.
ST. Elias, was measured. When the
former was found TO be 10 535 feet high,
Mt St Elias had to take second place,
and In the measuring of Mt Mckinley,
a few years ago by the United States
geological survey party, forced her into
third place. To the south and south

lesser peaks, and nearer to Mt. McKin-
ley are Mis- Hayes Q4.000) and Kimball

Before Mt Mckinley was explored
and renamed by the Americans. it was
known to the Russians by the name of
Bolshaya, but no interest was taken in
the mighty mountain giant further
than to measure 1t with the eye and
note that its perpetual snow-crowned
head reached upward until It. seemed
almost to brush the stars Of the brill
liant arctic sky. The Sushitna Indians,
in whose country the mountain is locat-
ed. called it Traleyka. To the south
west of Mt Mckinley, in the same
range, there are said to be many active
volcanoes.
1t is supposed that the sushitna and
Kuskokim rivers have their rise in Mt.
Mckinley, being fed by the melting of
the vast glacial fields held in the noun
fains. The Sushitns flows to the south
ard empties into Cook inlet. The Kus-
kokim flows to the southwest and finds
its outlet in a bay bearing the same
name as that of the river. II was down

Cook and his party made the return

QUEER MANX CATS.
Has No Tail and Its Hind Legs Are
Longer Than Its Fore Ones
Curions old Law.

On the Isle of Man there is a curious
looking tailless cat, peculiar to that
island. No one knows where it first
came from, though there are various
stories and theories concerning it's
origin. 1t is described as follows: The
pure Manx cat would be little differ
ent IN appearance to the common house
cat, even if it could boast of tail. Its
head is small. and its hind legs are
long, in comparison with the fore ones.
When about to fight it springs from the
ground and strikes with its fore and
hind legs at the same time. The COM
mon cat, however. strikes with its fore
paws, standing on its hind legs. 1t
has greater ease in going up hill than
downhill, because of its short legs.
AS mouser 1t is considered the best of
all cats.
The value Of cat. in days long ago
was fixed by law, as follows: The
price of kitten before Il could see was
a penny; after it could see two pence;
after it had caught a mouse, four pence
which was a very large sum in the
tenth century The cat must also be
perfect in hearing, sight and smell. and
have good claws. II anyone stole or
killed the cat that guarded the royal
'sranary he had to give in exchange a
sheep, its fleece and lamb"

Correspondent in Venezuela Writes
EntertainingIy of Caracas
and It's People.

Such is the name given TO Nene-
zuela by James Barnes, who went
there during the recent difficulty as
the correspondent Of the Outlook.
Here is a bit from his picturesque
description of Caracas in the Out
look:
There are the barracks; the one
Of the north with its single gun pre-
sented to the Venezuelan govern
ment by Empress Eugenie, and with
all its loopholes frowning at the city,
like all the other 'defenses." There
is another near the center of the
town, where the small brown soldier
BOYS stand guard at the door. armed
to the teeth. AT night both places
given wide berth and the unknowing
stranger who may not understand
the peremptory "Halte, qui vivel" is
in no little danger Much afraid Of
these places are the peaceable inhab-
itants, and much right have they to
be SO, for the soldier that supports
the reigning government is a privi-
legged person. 1t does not do to
complain OF him. The keeper OF a
cafe frequented by the troops once
spoke to the colonel Of an Andino
regiment and said that his soldiers
borrowed his knives and forks and
did not return them. do you mean
that the soldiers Of my government
are thieves?" replied the colonel.
The restaurant keeper replied that
II might look that way to the cas-
ual observer, or words to that ef-
feet; whereupon the colonel shot
him dead, and that was the end of
the matter
Leading out Of the city to the
south and crossing the shallow river
is the far-famed iron bridge" Tt
joins at its further end with broad
road about a mile in length. Beauti-
tifu1 gardens and well-kept lit
tie villas, mostly the pleasure homes
of politicians, are on either side.
Here on holidays meet the upper
classes, the old conservatives. the
wealthy tradesman and the success
full politician The pampered favor
ite of the latter drives here, too,
lolling back in her victoria. The
people bow to one another or give
the cut direct, as their acquaintance
ship dictates or their position in the
social scale may give them privilege
or not At the eastern end used to
be the gay quarter, the dancehouses
and the fandangoes. A little park
Is at the western end, where there is
also, strange to say, a baseball field.
A hopeful sign for the future is that
small percentage Of the youths
and boys have taken up outdoor
sports, this within the last four
years. This mile or more of good
road is all that is worthy of the
name of driveway" in country |
bigger than the state of Texasl The
people are very proud of it.
