walking the Best Exercise.

Walking Is the simplest, the most
natural and the most wholesome Of all
exercises. No athlete ever trains for q
contest, no matter what its nature may
be, without walking considerable dis
tance in the open air each day. Many
keep In vigorous health by this alone,
and no matter what other exercise you.

ner and secure but little benefit from
the exercise. In walking for exercise
the effect is better il the mind is direct
ed toward some pleasurable end. Walk
with consciously directed movement
until you have brought every muscle
under perfect control Of your will.
Moping along in an aimless. lacka-
daisical manner does little good phys
ically and harms one mentally.
The necessity of maintaining a prop
er, erect position of the body must be
borne In mind. Bear the weight on the
balls Of the feet. keep the shoulders
back and down, the chest high. but do
not hold the abdomen inward. az Is
taught by many athletic instructors.
Let it be relaxed, for this part Of the
body should move in and out with each
breath. There should be perfect free
dom to breathe normally.

Gallant Victor Huxo,

During the latter years of his long
life Victor Hugo was very fond of sur
veying mankind from the vantage
ground Of the top Of an omnibus. He
used to make long excursions through
the gay city perched on the top OF the
homely bus, which he seemed to pre-
fer to any other vehicle. An amusing
and characteristic anecdote Of the
great poet. who was most courteous
and attentive to the lovely sex, is re-
lated by a review. One fine day. as he
was enjoying a ride under these condi-
tions. n fascinating young woman
climbed up to the summit OF the tram
car on which he was seated and steered
her way toward the only vacant place.

him. She was about to take possession

Gre.te.t world Power.

An idea is the greatest power in the
world. Ideas have moved armies.
made nations and created civilizations.
Just as surely ideas tangibly affect our
immediate material surroundings. The
recognition Of this truth Is destined to
revolutionize philosophers within the
next few generations. Its farreaching
results will constitute the revelation Of
the twentieth century, says Vim.
One in Bethlehem Of Jud@a enunci-
ated the truth many years ago when
he taught what faith would accom-
plish. We Of succeeding centuries re-
iterated the divine message as the
merest platitude. utterly failing to COM
prehend its greater meaning. Now We
find ourselves on the verge Of an awak-
ening to the true significance OF
thought force.
This much we already know-that 1t
is a mystery lowering on the border
land between the material and the
spiritual, to be approached with the
reverent investigation which the in
spired man of science always brings
to bear on the wonders Of the universe.

sound and Color.

We recognize the happiness Of the
well known analogy traced by a blind
man between scarlet and the sound Of
a trumpet because those who can both
see and hear accept the aptness Of COM
parison between the two forces which
powerfully affect one the optic and the
other the auditory nerve. But scarlet
is not the exact analogue Of a trumpet
blast
The sensation Of color Is impaired to
the brain by means Of vibratory waves
communicated to the all pervading me-
dunn, ether; that of sound by similar
waves communicated to the denser
medium. atmosphere. II the analogy
between scarlet and a trumpet blast
were a true one, each should affect the
sensorium by means of vibration OF q
rapidity similar in proportion to that
caused by other colors and tones.
But that is not 30. The pitch Of 4
tone increases with the number of vi
brations in a given time. The tone Of
a trumpet is high because it causes
relatively rapid sound waves, but the
vibrations caused by a ray Of red light
are few compared with those caused
by other rays, for the vibrations aris-
ing from the red end of the spectrum
amount only to about $4,000. .O00. 900
in q second, whereas those from the
violet end amount to about SCI, 900 .O00.-

ly successful in comparing a lively
