SYSTEMATIC WALKING.
Five Thousand Miles Walked by Easy
| Daily Trips During One
Year,

! On January /, 1913, | conceived the
idea of walking 5000 miles before the
expiration of the year, writes W. A
Green, in Outing. The object was not
to achieve any unusual feat, nor to &C,
complish any conspicuous perform.
ance. The underlying motive was,
rather, to insure a plan by which reg.
ular and systematic exercise could be
obtained.
To travel this distance, it was neces.
sary to cover an average of IA miles
a day. Now, IA miles for a days walk
is we'll within the compass of the or.
binary man. But an occasional walk
of this length is one thing; the sus.
tanned effort, day after day throughout
the year, is another.
Let me answer the question by say.
ing that at the end of the year | had
completed a distance on foot of 5,2O5
miles, or a daily average of 14A miles
The stipulated 5000 miles were fin.
ished on December 16, but an add.
tional 200 miles were covered in order
that each of the 50 weeks of the veal
might claim an average distance tray,
eled of 100 miles.
set out upon my enterprise with
the knowledge that it was incumbent
upon me to maintain a daily average
of IA miles, and made it a rule, when
practicable, Of keeping above the aver.

to meet the emergencies which were
almost certain to arise. That they
did arise was shown by the fact that
for Is days in the year, owing to sick,
ness. lameness and rainy-day travel,
ing, no walking whatever could be
INDUCED in. The inability to utilize
these Is days was equal to a loss Of
over 200 miles. 1t will, therefore, be
seen that, under the circumstances
named, it was imperative on many &C.
casions to exceed the distance of IA
miles a day in order to preserve the
average.
At the beginning of my walk my
weight was 1872 pounds in street
clothes, while at the end of it my
weight was 178 pounds. This loss of
IA pounds was in every way accept
able. The a%voirdupois lost was only
redundant weight, and l felt, as a re.
suit, more active, stronger and hard.
er. In the matter of health, | felt
decidedly better than I had for sew
eral years.

THE RECORD
Tremendous Spectacle Witnessed in
Blowing Up of Shipload of
Explosives.

The worlds record for submarine ex.
plosions has just been made at Alex.
andria. Some months ago a consign'
ment of explosives arrived at Alexan'
dria on account of Messrs. Nobel & Co,
of Glasgow, 1t was dispatched to Cairo
by gyassehs native sailing boats), but
unfortunately n of these vessels,
which had 161s tons of dynamite on
board, got into a collision and was
wrecked. The explosives were salyed
from the water and were brought back
to Aboukir, as that was the only safe
place where they could be deposited.
However, the dynamite had become a
danger to the public safety, owing to
the contact with the water having gen.
Grated certain gases, which might at
any moment act on the dynamite and
explode it. So, as a lawsuit was being
brought in the mixed tribunal. the per-
mission of that court was obtained for
the destruction of the explosives.
Harold Harris, F. c. S., chemist to the
Messrs. Nobel, came out specially
from Glasgow to superintend the opera
tions. and he was assisted by Mr..
Ferdinand Muquier, chemical expert to
the mixed tribunal. The explosives
were conveyed from Aboukir fort in
boats about a quarter of a mile out in
the bay, off Nelson's Island, and there
sunk in Is feet of water. Electric wires
were let down and connected the eX-
plosives with a battery in the fort. The
bay was kept clear of all shipping.
The sight was Il never to be for
gotten. The sea was perfectly calm
ALI of a sudden, without any visible
warning, there was a tremendous up
heaval of the water, the sea became a
churning mass for a great distance
around and a waterspout of gigantic
height rose toward the sky. The sun,
shining on, or rather through, this mass
gave it a superb glistening appearance
and produced a wonderful effect. The
rising of the water lasted nearly two
minutes. 1t was estimated by the
technical spectator that the waterspout
attained 1000 feet in height, while its
base was 200 feet in diameter. These
details, coupled with The fact that the
explosives consisted Of 61a tons OF
zelignite and ten tons Of blasting gela-
tin, which, containing as it does, 80 per
cent. of nitroglycerin, is one of the
most powerful explosives, make this ex-
plosion a record as being one of the
greatest submarine explosions that have
ever taken place since explosives were
invented.
There was no danger to household
property. A vibration like that of an
earthquake was felt in Alexandria and
the houses were shaken, but that wa
all. Thousands of fish were killed in
the bay, much to the satisfaction of the
local fishermen, who benefited by it.
The explosion will entail a fresh sound.

sea.

sufficiently to interfere. T%hereupon the

was no evidence against him. 1t was

HAWAII AS THE HUB.

Secretary Wood has been busy in re-
Hawaii to be the center of American
geographical jurisdiction. Taking a
map of the photographic office at Wash
ington, Mr.. Wood drew a circle with
Hawaii as the hub. That circle takes
in New York on the east and Hongkong
on the west, including just within the
arc the Philippines, as the westernmost
land on which the American flag flies.
Then Hawaii is used as a center for
distances and steamship lines. The
idea is novel and attractive from an
sent to Washington to be executed, if
possible, by the government and to
bear the government s official imprint.
The following letter received from w.
L. Field, U. s. n. (retired), explains
itself:

to spell the name, but that is how it
sounds. 1 have suggested to him, that
in case of further information, he had
better communicate directly with you.
The Hawaiian music arrived all
right, and has caused great pleasure in
our house. There is much that is new,
and many old friends brought back. My
wife and many of her friends join me
