the added novelty of propelling oneself
around an overhead track while manin-
ulating the apparatus. The body is sus-
pended from the carriage by a large
spring, and the legs by two smaller
springs, while the hands grasp two grips
attached to cords wound on drum con-
nected with the forward wheel of tho
carriage. It is obvious that downward
pull on the cords will rotate the drum
and wheel and propel the carriage along
the track, while at the same time it sup
plies the muscular exertion in the partial
lifting of the weight of the body from
the supporting spring. When the cords
have been pulled down. to their full
length the athlete has but to decrease
the weight supported by them and the

What Neurasthenia Means.

No word IL so common in these days
as neurasthenia; yet it is not easy to
define, and many of those who use it
have only the vaguest idea of what it
means. The word originated with a
New York physician and the malady
indicated thereby has usually been re-
garded as a distinctively American
one, though it is found in most coun-
tries of the civilized world, and the
unfortunate Mrs. Carlyle is now de-
clared by Sir James Crichton Brown
to have been "neurotic." Wear and
tear, storm and stress, a badly regu-
lated life, in short, are the causes usu-
ally assigned for this arrangement of
function resulting from the exhaustion
of nervous energy, but defects of nu-
triton have much to do with it, and
tho solution of tho problem, as in
many other cases, may rest ultimately
with the cook.-Chicago News.

AN ER1AL EXERC1SER.

There are some people so constituted
that If they see the necessity Of UNDER
taking course of physical training for
the benefit of their health they will pro-

manner the prescribed directions. With
another class q constant change Of ap-
paratus and no inconsiderable amount
of persuasion are necessary to induce
them to stick to the training long enough
to receive any permanent beneft from it.
The former class will work faithfully
with apparatus or without, but the lat
ter must have all the latest devices with
which to exercise their muscles, and for
their special benefit the machine we IL
lustrate seems to have been devised. Ito
principle is practically the same as that

ender and all the attendant shades Of
violet.
There are many eccentric ideas in
regard to the relations in New York,
and in search for some of these nov
elites the correspondent has come
across a most unique bit of furniture.
It is in the shape Of mourning lamp.
In the New York home of a we'll
known society matron, whose sister
died abroad few years ago, there is
room furnished in remembrance of
the deceased relative. Everything In
the room is black, save the carpet,
which was made to order and has a
violet background, with black flowers
standing out upon it in somber relief.
The furniture is Of richly carved eb-
ony. The curtains are black satin
brocade, and all the ornaments are
black.
But, says the Chicago Record-Her-
aid, the oldest bit of decoration is the
lamp, the only light producing orna-
ment in the room. It is black enam-
ell, and stands 10 inches high. The
shade is made of China silk, and a
miniature of the sister is painted upon
1t.
Each year at the anniversary of her
relatives death this New York ma
tron has memorial services held in the
room, which is the only time that It
is ever entered.

TIDES OF THE OCEAN.
BELGIAN Inventor Has Devised a Plan
OF Utilizing Them for Com
mercial Purposes.

One of the latest attempts to utilize
the tides for generating power is that
proposed by Charles Eugene Ongley, Of
Mons, Belgium. He aims to accomplish
his object by using the incoming flood
to compress air. The latter is then to
be stored. If 1t Is not Immediately
available for operating an air motor,
further compression by .other ma
:hinery may be resorted to. The first
part Of M. Ongley's equipment is large,
shallow tunnel-like reservoir, whose
door is at the level of low water and
whose roof is nearly at that of high
high tide. This is to be situated close
to the sea and to be open on the ocean
side, SO that water can flow In freely.
It should be added, however, that the
passage which admits the water will be
close to the floor. When the tide is out

NICOTINE AND WHISKY.
Taken Together, i'm Large ouantat1ea
and Regularly, They Frequently
Cauae Blindness.

It il asserted by oculists that partial,
II not complete. blindness has resulted
from the excessive use of tobacco.
Cases of this sort are probably rare,
but the correctness of the statement
Is hardly open to question. The dis
ease first affects the central part OF the
retina, and then gradually spreads.
During the early stages the subject is
warned. by dimness of vision, and the
progress of the malady Is slow. II
taken in time, it can be checked, II not
cured.
Writing for the optical department
of the jewelers. Circular-Weekly, Gus
tavus Kahn explains that the trouble
arises only when a person both drinks
and smokes to an unwhOlesome extent
Both habits are necessary to produce
the result, as will presently appear.
First the blood becomes saturated with
alcohol. The vapor of the latter is
given off at the smokers lungs, and
there it meets and absorbs the poison
Gus nicotine. The vapor is then con-
densed and gets back into the blood, &C
cording to Mr. Kahn. That writer adds:
Nicotine poisoning leaves it's dele
FERROUS effects on the whole system,
but particularly on the eyes, which are
the most sensitive organs, especially
the fine nerve f1bers composing the lay
ers of the retina. The general effect
of nicotine poisoning is very similar
to quinine poisoning; in fact, should
subject already suffering from the ef-
fects Of nicotine happen to take too
much quinine, total blindness might re-
suit. Nicotine, as we'll as quinine low
ers the temperature of the body and re-
stricts the walls of the blood vessels,
thereby causing decreased circulation,
which may be plainly observed in the
veins and arteries Of the retina.
'The main cure and remedy for nico-
tine poisoning is total abstinence from
tobacco and all kinds of alcoholic slim
ulants, until every vestige of the poison
has been eliminated from the system.
It has been observed that a moderate
use Of tobacco and whisky will not cause
nicotine poisoning to any alarming ex-
tent, and, moreover. the use of either
tobacco or whisky alone has never pro-
duced any toxic eye symptoms. it being
only the fmmoderate use of the COM
bination which has the poisonous ef-
Iect."

VALUE OF SOUND FEET.
to Have Trim Feet and
Best Of Health.

Don't neglect the care Of the feet. There
is an intimate connection between the
feet and the complexion. It is only when
the former are in good condition that a
woman looks her best.
Don't fail to put on fresh pair OF
stockings daily. A single nights ex-
posure to the air is insufficient to free
stockings of moisture.
Don't wear wooden stockings. Cotton
ones are always preferable, except for
persons who suffer from perspiratton.
Don't wear tight, stiff or ill-1tting
shoes or boots. They are the common
cause of corns, causing pressure or fr1c"
ton on the projections of the bones.
Don't wear rubber overshoes in the
house. Remove them at once. They
interfere with the proper ventilation OF
the feet, as they are alright. If worn
too much they cause tender feet, dizzi-
ness and headache.
Don't spend so much time learning
the art of manicuring that there is no
opportunity to practice pedicuring.
Take few lessons from an expert chirop'
OdtSt.
Don't attempt to treat a corn without
first bathing the feet in warm water.
Don't use the chisel when a bit OF
pumice stone will answer the purpose.
Don't cut the nails round. Make them
square, If rounded like finger nails
there is danger of their growing in, and
nothing is more painful than an In
grown nail.
Don't 60 to bed with cold, damp feet.
if you wish to preserve your health.
From a hygienic point of view, wet
back should be less stunned than wet
or cold feet.
Don't stand for any length Of time on
snow or ice or the cold ground. Many
diseases may be traced to cold suddenly
applied to the feet.
Don't think that foot Is beautiful be-
cause it is small. 1t must be in proper

tious sister. had the parlor and the
piano, which are necessities, but want
ed a music rack or case, which in the
condition of my finances then was lux
ury, so set my wits to work, and this
is what they evolved-a music-rack
which answers every possible require
ment OF utility and beauty.
Having collected II broomsticks,
cut them to the lengths desired-three
of them % inches long, two 80 inches,
two 90 inches, two % inches, and two
10 inches, and whitfield the ends round.
Then with gimlet bored holes, and
fastened the sticks together with screws
in the manner illustrated. At the GEN.
ter crossing of the sawhorse fastened
a thin, smooth board about two inches
wide. and another on each side, making
a sort of trough for the music to stand
in, When completed it is just three
feet high and two feet two inches long,
and when painted white with coat Of
enamel, it makes pretty piece Of furni-
ture. A dash of gold paint or bright
ribbon wound between the sticks would
further improve its appearance.
Now, l am only girl, neither men,
tally brilliant nor physically strong, but
the idea is original with me, and my own
hands did the work. The result was a
piece of furniture that invariably calls
forth the remark: where did you get
such a quantity pretty music-rack?"

UTILIZING THE TIDES.
the chamber will contain only air,
which will gain access through an in
let valve above. AS the sea rises it
suueezes the air into smaller compass.
AS the roof is to slant gently toward the
end Of the chamber furthest from shore,
the air ought to accumulate there.
Thence it may be transmitted to spe-
cial tank (not shown in drawing) by a
pipe and valve which discharge out
wardly. The Illustration, copied from
Compressed Aair," gives such good
idea of the general arrangement that
few details are needed.
The plan has not yet been tried, and
its author can only guess at its value or
the cost. NJ. Ongley entertains great
homes. but the wisdom of his scheme re-
mains to be discovered. The amount Of
mower to be obtained in this way may be
too small to pay for the construction
of such a plant as he has in view.
Theory of Evolution.
The theory of evolution is itself I'M
dereoing evolution. 1t was Darwin's
view that species result from slow
variations through long periods of time,
hut Hugo de Vries. Dutch naturalist,
has proven that new species may de-
velop suddenly, almost explosively
With many failures he has succeeded in
observing the phenomenon in the
onagre biennial. This plant was stud
led in the botanical garden of Amster-
dam from 1886 to 1900, and it yielded
one new species in 1887, two in 1883,
while in 1900 not less than 800 individ-
uals of seven new species were produced
in $4,000 plants from seeds. We may
we'll suppose that variations in plants
and animals have been both sudden and
gradual, evolution being 4 very CON-
plex process.

A Vacuum Pressure Experimeht.

Chemical science has taught us how
to overcome the dreaded diseases that
have swept away whole cities in the
past. 1t has taught us the manufac-
ture of explosives and munitions of
war and has made possible the greatly
improved modes of travel, and 1t may
be truly said that to chemistry we owe
the most material progress the world
has made.
While this little experiment will not
deal with the hidden secrets that live
in the famous laboratories or treat
upon the mystic powers of viscosity
and relegation, it VIII show what pow
er the absence of air has In attracting
movable substances into the place that
has been vacated by the air. Few
think when they breathe the atmos-
phere that surrounds them that it has
pressure of fifteen pounds to the
square inch or that 1t can attract even
a piece of iron into the space which II
leaves.
For an example of the strength of air

of tissue paper, set fire to the paper,
