Sport Is Too DANGEROUS.

The death of George Leander Of
Chicago, who died as a result Of in
juries received from fall on the
Park des Princes track in Paris, is
offered as another argument for dis
continuance Of racing behind powerful
motor cycles. Harry Elkes, Johnny"
Nelson and Archie McEachern are
three other pace followers who met
their death while travelling at terrific
speed behind the suffering motors.
The death Of Leander is a hard
blow to cycling as he was one of the
best-liked men in the game. He was a
big, handsome fellow of wonderful
strength and vitality, and when he
won the six-day race in 1902 he fin
ished fresher than any other man ever
completed such journey.

Almost as remarkable as either Of
the aforementioned instruments is
one which has been invented for meas.
uring the sense of touch. This instru-
ment consists of little discs, each
three millimetres in diameter, sus-
pended by fine, delicate thread from
wooden handles, which are stuck into
holes round block. The lightest disc
is taken out and touched on the skin,
the subject having his eyes closed.
If nothing is felt, the next heavier
disc is used, and so on until the pres
sure is noticeable. The discs weigh
from one to twenty milligrams, and
with their aid it has been proved that
the sense Of touch in an average per-
son is conveyed by two miligrams on

from Philadelphia giving the details
Of an alleged plot Of anarchists to
blow UP the big guns OF warships Of
the American navy by tampering with
projectiles turned out by the Midvale
steel works at NicetOwn. The plot is
said TO have been discovered by the
explosion OF q proiectile in the com
pany's works, which injured several Of
the WOrkmen and which il was found
had been loaded by high explosive.
The story is denied by Admiral O'Neil
in the most emphatic manner The
only possible thing. he said, upon
which such dispatch could be hinged
was that following the explosion at
Iona island. which resulted in the
death Of several men. some shells were
sent to the MidEaie works TO be re-
banded, and in the midst Of the denlor-
