grown into a neighbor. and the two

sible to say which is the parent trunk.
Perhaps the unusual strength and VI

slow growth. When n little sprout

fifteen or twenty years old one cannot
help asking. What must be the age OF

is hard to tell exactly. BY the aid OF
a microscope l have counted more than
700 rings on a bough only thirty inches
in diameter. Those who have studied
the matter more deeply think that some
of these trees must be more than Il
thousand years old. Indeed. there is
nothing wildly improbable in the

What IL Weighs and the Number Of

Whether II be the brain cell of a
glowworm or trembling with the
harmonies of Tristan und Isolde the
stuff 1t is made Of is much the same.
1t is a difference of structure apparent
~ rather than Of material. And the
chemical difference between a brain or
nerve cell and that of the muscles or
the skin seems reducible mainly to q
difference in the proportion of two SUBJ
stances-water and phosphorus. Lean
beef, for example, is from 20 to so per
cent water; the brain is from 80 to %
per cent water. And a brain or nerve
cell may contain from five to ten times
as much phosphorus as. let us say. the
cells Of the liver or the heart. The ac-
tual quantity Is of course extremely
small-by weight but a fraction Of l
per cent.
About three pounds avoirdupois OF

THE ATHLETES HEART.
In the Rowing Man II IL Strong ind
Well Developed.

Well Developed.
A prominent member of the faculty
of the University Of Pennsylvania Med
ical school has made a study of the
heart action OF athletes. He has eX-
anined Il large number of mel in attn
letics, especially rowing men. and he
has come to the conclusion that no man
in perfect health who has been proper
~ trained is injured by rowing, but
that, on the contrary. his heart is so
strengthened that, with a moderate
amount of exercise after he has finish
ell his rowing career, there is no rea-
son. SO far as the heart and lungs are
concerned, that he should not live to a
very old age.
1.-The heart" said he, lis both a very
delicate and a very strong organ--that
is, If it is well developed it will stand
an enormous amount Of strain without
any permanent injury, but if it is not
well developed it is very easily weak
ened. Violent exercise, like rowing.
places a great deal Of strain on the
heart because when the body is being
exerted it requires SO much more pres
sure to force the blood through the
body. Like any other muscle that is
worked. the heart under the added la
Dor becomes larger. and most athletes
have extra large hearts. just as they
also have larger muscles throughout
the body.
If the strain is put upon the heart
suddenly It dilates-it becomes larger.
but not m~uscular-and that is the
danger in athletics. If q man exercises
gradually hen his heart also increases
in size gradually because the muscles
become larger. and this is a perfectly
normal condition. 1t simply means
that the athlete has a stronger heart
than the average and can cope with
b extra strain that is put upOn it. A
mai needs a larger heart to row a
race. and If gradual exercise has SO
provided him with one then he can
safely undergo the most severe tests.
ut is the same way with the lungs.

until they can undertake the extra
work. A a with his heart and lungs

pletely keel over at the end of the race.
but 1t will likely be from sheer exhaus-
ton, and his heart is so strong that the
effect is not at all injurious. He will
be as good as ever in a few moments"

II AGILE OSPREY.


A big brown and white bird came
sailing up the trout stream, his long
wings stretched far out to right and
left. He few slowly, for he was look.
ing for Notwithstanding that he
wanted very much. He vas doing his
family marketing. Up in the top of a
big pine tree a mile away his wife wac
sitting on a nest full of eggs, and it
was both his duty and his pleasure to
find a supper for her. Suddenly he
stopped short. He had caught sight Of
the thing for which he was searching
a dusky, shadowy shape. with an out.
Hne like that of a submarine torpedo
boat, lying m%oveless in the clear water.
For just an instant he seemed to hang
poised in the air, but it was only long
enough to change the direction of his
motion; then down he went with 4
rush and a swoOp.
The brook trout saw him coming and
tried to dart away, but 1t was too late.
With a mighty splash the osprey
struck the stream and went clear un-
der and out Of sight, while the water
boiled and surged over him. He could
not see for the commotion about him,
but his aim had been true. and his out
stretched feet touched a slippery,
Shiny, wriggling body that was just
beginning to gather Roadway.
Quicker than a wink his toes closed
about it and his sharp talons sank
deep into the trout's flesh. Then up he
came, rising out of the stream like
some tabled monster Of old and shak-
ing the water from his feathers In q
shower of flying drops. Every thread
of muscle in his wings and breast was
working with all its might to lift that
heavy trout Up went the birds great
pinions till they were straight above
him; then down they came. lashing the
mir like whips. Up again and down. up
and down. up and down. harder and
faster and fiercer. and little by little
he and his victim rose from the stream
till at last they were clear of the tree
tops. then straight away to the nest

and padded around in the sush for an hour
before her policeman caught me-
why don't you take him down to the ne"
dog bathhouse?' said my master. Then he told
her all about it.
After breakfast we went out. and after some
exercise went into great store My mistress
bought half dozen bath towels. She told the
clerk woman to stamp them with my name.
1 did not know just what it meant, for Maggie
always used old rags when she dried me off
at home.
And then to the bathhouse! 1t was just like

an ordinary store in front but there were othr
rooms behind. The first one looked like drug
store from the number of bottles the shelves.
Then 1 was glad that I had not talked to that
yellow dog that lives on the next block the one
with the distemper. My mistress is Christian
Science herself, but I've always noticed that
she gives me the viIest medicine when I'm sick.
THE next room the bathhouse. In one
corner was a gas water heater, and. side by
side, two tubs. One was as big that in which
the master sputters every morning. II was
made of shining white stuff. The other was a
little tub. but it would not have held half OF
me. so 1 was not greatly interested.
There was one bather there ahead Of US.

told my mistress 80. He was cocker spaniel
and was supposed to like water. You should
have seen him! He must have had yellow
streak in him somewhere, for he made terri
BILE fuss The first time they tried to put him
in the little tub he tried to bite the bath man.
For that he had horrid leather muzzle slipped
over his Jaws. Then they landed him in the
tub but he jumped out and splashed water all
over his mistress She whipped him for it, and
he yeIped ike the cowardly thing he was
Finally the bathhouse man gave 1t up

It came my turn He won't bite said my
mistress, as she saw the man look at my big
Jaws and then at the muzzIes hanging on the
wall OF course 1 wouldn't.
The man and his boy hoisted me into the
tub. which was half full of warm water. Ihen
they poured some tarlike stuff over me, and
the scrubbing began. I sat down in the tuD'
because it was easier. But he made me get up
1t was not much fun, being bathed, but 1t WAS
better than the way Maggie did it.
After the bath the boy rubbed me with one
of my new towels, and then came such brush

1 could come down here by myself, but, OF
course, they don't know.
