DOES THE CLIMATE CHANGE?
Some Observations Born of the Re-
marknbie Summer just Ended.

Some Observations Born of the He
marknble Summer just Ended.
During several very hot summers re-
Gently past there was a theory not in
frequently ventilated that the climate
in American cities had radically
changed. and that hereafter very hot
summers would follow each other
without break. There was no escape.
The general use Of electricity was do
ing the business. How electricity was
doing it or why do not recall hearing,
but that was the all sufficient eXplana-
ton. | venture the opinion that not
one in ten of the men and women who
talked this nonsense had more than
the faintest idea of what electricity Is.
but they were cocksure of the sound
ness of the theory. The summer of
1902 has knocked all semblance or In
tcgrity out Of these unbaked theories
and left us wondering whether there
ever was such weather before. Prob
ably there has been, and possibly not.
| do not pretend to know, and am
not old enough to remember the rlSors
of that famous 1916. when there was
frost in every month in the year, but
should not be astonishcd to live long
enough to experience such summer
and to hear my good neighbors attrlb-

climate to the revenge of an angry

ConrCruiur "Rube" Wadde1l.

Some baseball managers declare that
"Rube" Waddell. the interesting and
eccentric pitcher, apparently has no
idea of the eternal fitness Of things.
lie is something of spendthrift, and
when he wants money he will promise
anything and sign any agreement to
get it. In this connection 1t is related
that on one occasion when his services
were in demand and he was being bid
for by several clubs he had an appoint
ment with Il manager at the latter's
hotel. They agreed Oh salary, and the
contract was drawn up ready to sign.
Then Rube insisted on having some
money in advance.
Il haven't Il bit of cash." said the
manager. but III give you check for
$500 if you'll sign
"All right" replied the eccentric play
or; produce your check"
The manager went in search CT a
blank check. and during his absence a
rival manager entered the office ana
saw Waddell. He also made the play
er an offer. and RUDE told him Of the
arrangements already made.
"The check uin't going to do you no

bills.
"That's what want" assented Wad-

the first manager returned calmly no
tilted him that everything was off.

las the Rowing Man 1t Is Strong and
%5t,E.-. Il Well Developed.

I
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-
amined a large number of men in ath-
letics, especially rowing men, and he
has come to the conclusion that no man
in perfect health who has been proper
ly trained is injured by rowing, but
that, on the contrary, his heart is so
strengthened that, with moderate
amount of exercise after he has finish
ed his rowing career, there is no rea
son, so far as the heart and lungs are
concerned, that he should not live to q
very old age.
sThe heart" said he, sis both a very
delicate and very strong Organ-that
is, if it is well developed it will stand
an enormous amount of strain without
any permanent injury, but it it is not
we'll 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.
= eff the strain is put upon the heart
suddenly it dilates-it becomes larger,
but not more muscular-and that is the
danger in athletics. If man exercises
gradually then 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
the extra strain that is put upon it. "A
man 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.
"It is the same way with the I1ngs,
and they must be developed gradually
until they can undertake the extra
work. A man with his heart and lungs
we'll developed is in no danger, no mat
ter how hard the race. He may com
pletely keel over at the end Of the race,
but it will likely be from sheer exhaus-
ton, aid his heart is so strong that the
effect is not at all injurious He will
be as good as ever in few moments"
