FEATs OF BLIND AcRoBATs
Athletic Expertness Which Is As tonishing in London College
 Gymnasts.

Many of the gymnastic exhibitions given in recent years by students of co1- leges and universities of the world, cred itable as they have been, are consider ably overshadowed In the superior work done by the blind students connected with the Royal College and Academy for the Blind at Upper Norwood, Eng land, as was clearly demonstrated re- gently in the wonderful public exhi bition given by students of this academy at the Crystal palace, this city, says a London report @s 'i'& %f'%
 The athletic experfness that is being attained by these blind students is cer- tainly marvellous and astounding, all of which is attributable to the regular practice work pursued in the gymna- sium. ~,tStsrt#
 It is an admitted fact that the twen- tieth century finds physical training an important factor in the educational schemes for the seeing. Gymnastics and drill enter. in a lesser or greater de- gree, in the curriculum of the schools and colleges of all nations.
 If physical training Is considered so necessary nowadays for the development of the seeing. it is contended by those well advanced in the training of the blind that 1t is equally, if not far more important, for the sightless, in order that they may not be handicapped with feebleness, awkwardness and helpless ness, in addition to their sightlessness The physical development of the blind is absolutely essential, if they are to show vigorous growth, morally, men tally or physically @
 To bring about this happy and neces- sary condition of things among the blind, the latter now have recourse to regular training in the gymnasium of this very unique Royal college in Lon don, where the course includes various kinds of mass and apparatus work. Tn addition, cycling, rowing, swimming and roller skating are also systematical- ly taught Blind boys and girls of this insti- tute, many. children of very poor par ents, exercise alike in extension, iron bar and dunb-bell movements, to- gether with combination exercise upon the parallel bars, horizontal bar and vaulting horse, and execute the move  ments as perfectly as the sighted classes.
 The various machines used in. the gymnasium of the college are admir- ably calculated to develop even the most feeble of the blind students, so that tho pupil can proceed to the more advanced l apparatus, such as parallel bar. hori- zontal bar, vaulting horse, and take part also in such outdoor exercises as cycling, boating, running, swimming, l. etc.
 | The instructors at the Royal College for the Blind sufficiently vary the class exercises in the gymnasium as to bring all parts of the body into healthYul ac- tivity so as to open the pores of the ] skin. force impurities to the surface, ! expand the lungs, cause deep breathing to stimulate the heart action. change Itfreduently the position of the viscera, 1 thereby stimulating the How of blood to all parts of the bodya

MAN-THREsHINo MACHINES.
The Modern Method Of Getting Out

Some years ago | saw In an English
journal picture of horse treadmih
engaged In threshing. and beneath u

Threahing stIll In Use In the Scilly ISL

which we had always practiced ] was
filled with mixed shame and resent
ment and shame, writes Ernest Crosby.

II was therefore with feelings OF
complacency that | received the sug-
gestlon that this year we thresh our
oats by steam. The machinery arrived
In two or three pcnderous wagons. like
circus procession, and was duly In
stalled. Two men came with Il, one to
run the engine and the other to feed
the oats into the machine. but II re-
qulred a small army of local talent to
bring the oats down from the bays OF
the barn and to carry away the basket
OF oats and the heaps of straw and Of
chaif which piled up with miraculous
rapidity.
Br-r-r-r-rrrri what a hideous, noisy.
filthy machine, One of the pleasures
OF farmwork Is that you can talk as
much as You like, but the din of this
engine made conversation impossible
and gave you headache. We are
rather proud OF our barn and consider
It a substantial editice. for II Is built OF
stone and measures $50 feet by 90, but
