Sylvester j. Simon. Physical Culture
Expert, Explains How to Bring
About Normal Develop
nent at Home.

Everyday physical exercise as .
means for reducing flesh or bring
ing about normal development is be-
coming more popular. The physician
who can restore health is giving way
to the system by which health can be
preserved. No man or woman is
healthy who is carrying around an
an abdomen out of proportion to the
rest of the body. Physical culture
shows that this disagreement may
be made to disappear with exercise,
it conducted to well-defined rules.
While the abdomen and weight are
being reduced, the chest is being
built out. s..
Why people will persist in remain
ing objects of ridicule and physically
degenerating all the time, when the
remedy Is within their power, is a
mystery, writes Sylvester j. Simon, in
the Chicago Journal. Instead of puff
ing and blowing after short run,
or quick walk, the fat man or WON
an who takes the following course of
exercise regularly will find great
improvement in wind capacity, and
be able to keep up with their ath-
letic friends.
Fig. illustrates one of the best
exercises for reducing abrodinal
flesh. Stand on one foot; raise one
of the legs and grasp the knee, press
ing the leg firmly against the front
of the body. Repeat the exercise,
holding the other leg. Continue UNI
til tired.

be taken gently at first, and after

fectly straight. Then elevate the

of 60. The youth left Dorset, Eng
land, in 1855 to seek his fortune in
Australia, and, ere leaving, became
engaged to a local maid, aged IS.
His fortune did not arrive quickly;
as fast as the money came in it was
knocked down. in way that will
be understood by Australians who
recall the Cos. The lovers CORE
sponded twice a year-at Christmas
and on her birthday-in June. At
last the maiden's patience was ex-
hausted, and, as she was in comfort
able circumstances, and had recently
come in for $4,000, she put aside her
coyness and proposed to join hands
and hearts for aye. She went recent
iy to Queensland, and though at first
each was amazed al the apparently
unexpected change in the others APP
pearance, they were made husband

grasp both knees with the arms
pressing the whole body into as small
a compass as possible. This will
give exercise to the parts to be re-
duced and be followed by gradual
disappearance of the adipose tissue
Fib. shows an exercise that will
at first be difficult in extreme cases
of obesity. Lie fiat on the back,
placing the feet beneath q sofa, SO
as to hold them to the floor. Clasp
the hands back of the head and then
raise the trunk to an upright pos
ture, then back again to fiat posi-
ton. Repeat five to ten times. This
exercise brings all the muscles of
the abdomen into play.
Another good exercise for reduc-
ing flesh is to lie down ON the bacl;
and then raise the legs alternately to
O perpendicular position, dropping
them slowly into the first, position
The exercise may be continued by
raising and lowering both legs at
once.
The efficacy of the above move
ments has been often tested, and in
every case wherethe exercise has been
regularly and carefully taken the re-
suit has been beneficial to the gen.
eral health and to great reduction
in waist girth.
Without an adequate supply OF
fresh air no person can be healthy,
and without a good chest expansion
it is impossible to reach full develop.
ment. Before men drifted into an
artificial mode of living, their neces-
sites compelled an out-of-door life,
with great physical efforts, that gave
perfect specimens of physical man
hood. Now, the majority must fall
back on the gymnasium, or home eff
forts, in order to keep in good con-
dition. But although the BREATH of
life is free to all, the narrow-chested,
weak-lunged are legion, because they
have not paid sufficient attention to
the dictates of nature.
Every man and woman should have
a good, full chest. This can be
achieved, but it must be at the price
of everything that is worth having
hard labor. Cursory exercise will moi
do.
First the pupil must learn to
breathe deeply and exhale slowly,
while keeping the body in an erect
posture, with head we'll up, and chest
thrown out. While walking in the
open air pay particular attention to
breathing exercises, and you will get
all the benefit of exercise and pure
air.

mercantile trade he has built up in
Idaho after 40 years of effort.
Mr.. Hepburn is noted as one of tho
gourmands of the Pacific coast region.
Mr.. Ankeny is noted as one of the
sparest eaters in the same country.
1t is related by eye-witnesses that
Mr.. Hepburn has been known to eat

three porterhouse steaks, half gallon
of ice-cream and two pies at a single
sitting, and that, too, after midnight,

other fittings" that 60 with such u

his chest measurement is about the

There is no chair in the senate cham
Der that Mr.. Hepburn can sit in, and
Sergeant7at-Arms Ransdell will soon
be called upon to have the special chair
now occupied by Senator Mason, of H.
liois, enlarged to conform to the more
amplified avoirdupois of the gentleman
from Idaho.
Mr.. Ankeny is known as the Russell
Sage of the Pacific coast. He COM
mands more ready cash than any other
capitalist in that region. He is the
chief stockholder in more than 20
banks scattered throughout Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon, and in 4S hours
could mass 100000 in any of these
banks to his own credit. .
Not the least interesting feature of
the new senator from Washington is
that his name is not Ankeny, except by
adoption. He was christened Johann
Schmidt. That was his fathers name.
When his parents were on their way
back to Missouri from Oregon, while
the future senator was a baby, the
father died of pneumonia. The widow
buried the husband on the Nebraska
prairie and continued on to Missouri.
There she married a prosperous mer-
chant, who adopted the boy and be-
slowed upon him the odd name he now
bears.

bfeadth Escapes.

Such collection of scars as that
borne by President Roosevelt was
never owned by an American chief ex-
ecutive before.
According to the Chicago Journal,
he is the "most wounded" president of
the United States in history. Fifteen
injuries of more or less serious ma
ture have been received by him since
he reached manhood, and he has been
bruised literally from the top of his
head to the soles of his feet.
Yet there is nothing to indicate that
a special run of ill-luck is following the
president. On the contrary, his long
list of thrilling hairbreadth escapes
from death proclaim him especially
well looked after by fate. e
Mr.. Roosevelt has probably taken
more risks of losing his life in the IS
months that he has been in the white
house than any other president since
George Washington in any ten years
of his life. .@~
During his football days he received
many bruises, and during his ranching
career in the west he got three ribs
broken. Later in the Bad Lands he
had bone broken in his shoulder from
a fall from vicious horse. [
He was attacked by a grizzly bear
while hunting in Idaho in 1889 and es-
capped by narrow margin.
Two years before that he was chased
by an Infatuated steer in the Big Horn

steer by the horns, vaulted to it's back
and rode it for two miles.
On more recent hunting trips in Colo
RADIO he has had personal encounters
with mountain lions, in which his
quickness of hand frequently saved his
life.
He was slightly wounded in the hand
during the Cuban campaign, and he
barely escaped death in the trolley ac-
cident at Pittsield. His leg was so in
jured that an operation for abscess
had to be performed later.
President Roosevelt's last two in
iuries have been received at the hands
of his intimate friend, Gen. Leonard
Wood, in single stick and rapier play,
which they used as exercise almost
daily.
A few weeks ago Gen. Wood thrust
his rapier through the presidents
mask, bruising him severely on the
forehead and narrowly missing his left
eye.
A week later the two friends were in
q vigorous bout with the single sticks
in an improvised gymnasium near the
top of the white house. The passage
became rather heated, and in the rapid
play the PRESIDENT caught a heavy cut
on the wrist. He had to shake hands
with his left hand at the recent white
house reception.

corporation, to which it had granted
financial, industrial and police con-
troll of Acre. The contract, Brazil
declared, was beyond the power of
the Bolivian government to make, as
it involved the partial surrender of
sovereignty, and was void because it
disposed of territory part of which
was claimed by Peru, and part by
Brazil. In the event of refusal to
break the whole contract Brazil i'm
sisted that the agreement to permit
the syndicate to maintain police
force be annulled. Bolivia refused
to grant either demand. While these
negotiations were in progress rev.
olution was started in Acre. by men
who sought to make the district in
dependent. They were assisted by
the Brazilians. Bolivian troops were
sent into the district January goth to
suppress the jnsurrection, and on
January 26th Brazil announced that
it had decided to concentrate troops
in the adjoining states of Matte
Crosse and Amazonas. The reason
given by Brazil for its interest in the
contract with the syndicate is that
the establishment % so strong an
American company in the interior of
South america would endanger the
surrounding republics. The United
States has been requested by Bolivia
to exercise its good Offices to restore
amicable relations between that couu-
try and Brazil, and independent ne-

motion for merit. President Cleveland
made him consul general to Spain in
1895, and he was serving in that capac-
ity at the time of the war with Spain.
He was the last American to leave the
enemy's country, and calmly stood on
the rear platform of the train pufinga

fore war was declared.
Mr.. Bowen, says the Washington
Star, is perhaps the only officer in the
consular or diplomatic service of the
United States to-day who has served
in the four positions of consul, consul
general, minister resident and minis
ter plenipotentiary successfully. Pres
ident Harrison appointed him to his
first post at Barcelona; President
Cleveland retained him in the service,
promoting him to be consul general to
Spain; President Mckinley elevated
him to the rank of minister at Teher-
an.
Mr.. Bowen's career in Venezuela has
been marked by UNMARRIED success. He
found the country exceedingly indif-
fere1t, if not prejudiced, in its attitude
to the United States as the result of
several untoward incidents. To-day he
is one of the most popular and trusted
men, native or foreign, in the republic.
President Castro confers with him
more frequently than he does with his
own minister of foreign affairs.
Indeed, the giant American, who is
all of six feet four and built proper
tionately, won the presidents admira-
ton in singular way. Castro had sent
for the minister one day to ask his adj
vice about an important state matter.
Mr.. Bowen discussed the matter with
his usual frankness. Castro's anger
was aroused at what Mr.. Bowen said,
and he proceeded to fly into a rage.
Mr.. Bowen. instead If retreating in
dignantly, as many of his diplomatic
confreres had done on previous occa-
sions. stood his ground and called the
president severely to task for his be-
havior. Castro's rage was soon passed,
and since that moment he has trusted
and respected the American who
showed he was not afraid to take is
sue with the Venezuelan chief execu-
tive himself.
A more painful task than that of
openly differing will, President Castro
fell to Mr.. Bowen wien he came to
Washington as Venezuela's plenipo-
Tertiary. When the allies endeavored
to ignore him and appealed to the pres
ident without Mr.. Bowen's assent the
minister, with his characteristic force,
though it cost him sincere regret, de-
clared that as Venezuela's representa-
tive he could not consent to arbitra-
ton of the question of preferential
treatment, even by the president him
self. The minister's strenuous position
was personally applauded by President
Roosevelt, and its wisdom has been
demonstrated by subsequent e7enis.

to the effect that James Smithson, the
founder of the Smithsonian institution,
is about to be turned out of his grave
there to make room for quarry.

It has become necessary to act
warily in showing civility to stran-
gers in London. Recently a retired
general officer of benevolent aspect
was standing outside one of the great
West-end shops when well-dressed,
yelled woman approached him and
said: Excuse me, would you mind
holding my baby till I put my UNI
brella up?" But the general had
learned many things in his journey
through life, among them the trick
sometimes practiced Of abandoning
infants in broad daylight. II am sor-

enlist a permanent resting place in the
grounds of the institution which he
founded?" The very justice of the
proposition almost warrants one in
regarding it as foregone conclusion
that this step will be taken. The coun-
try is justly proud of the Smithsonian
institution, and if the funds at the
disposal of the directors are INSULT
cient to accomplish what is now pro-
posed it is highly probable that con-
gress will be asked to make an ade-
quate appropriation. Washington
should be proud to contain the tomb Of
James Smithson.
While scientists all over the country
are interesting themselves in this
question, the Washington papers and
the issues of Science are printing let
tiers from all sorts of people urging
that the country to which Smithson
left his entire fortune ito promote The
increase and diffusion of knowledge
among men" should show itself CRATE
full. A letter from Gilbert II. Grosve-
nor closes with the words: HE left
no descendants to care for his re-
mains; let us accept them as sacred
trust and bring them to the United
States to be deposited with all rever-
ence in the institution which bears his
name"
Smithson died in Genoa on the eth
of June. 1929, at the age of *. BY the
terms of his will his property of about
100000 was left to his nephew, then
to revert to the nephew's sons, with
the further provision that if he should
die childless the fund should be used
to endow just such an institution as
now exists. The gift was accepted by
act of congress in 1896, but it was ten
years later before the institution was
actually founded. In 1867 the fund was
increased to 81, ooo, 900 by congress.
