GERMAN HEART TOO LARGE.

Doctor of That Country Tells of OBJ
servntions ut oIympian Games.
A German medical man publishes
some interesting comparisons made at
! the Olymplan games respecting the
size and stamina of the heart of the
| English, American and German COM
| petltors respectively. DIR. Smith says
| that MS soon as he examined before the
games the hearts of German sportsmen
he could prophesy that they would
prove no formidable rivals. The size
Of the heart was so abnormally great
that In contests requiring strength. en-
ergy and endurance II was physically
impossible that they should succeed.
Results proved the truth OF this fore
cast, and It Is notable that the few
German athletes who did win places
were In possession OF the minimum
sized hearts.
In the American sportsmen the heart
conditions were in striking contrast to
those Of the Germans. Many OF the
American athletes were found to pos
sess hearts smaller In dimensions than |
the smallest heart ever measured In !
n German hospital. An lnvincIble |
Splinter possessed the smallest heart |
among the American competitors. A
German-American athlete, rather sig
nifcantly, was found to have the /
largest
Among the Engllshmen examined the
heart was found TO be slightly larger
than that of the Americans, though !
smaller than that shown by any other
nation. A parallel case which occurred
at the games striklngly illustrated the
difference in form between the English 1
and the German athletes. In spite of
an lndisposltiOn a German athlete took
part in a certain contest. Subsequent
examination proved that his heart had
increased at the end of the struggle
to double Its previous size. An En-
gllshman, suffering from the same In
returned from the contest
MS winner and his heart had become
smaller. The writer points out that
by wrong system of training and In
udicious living German athletes are

first English settlement on American
soil, which, as history records. occurred
on the thirteenth day Of May, 1907 on
peninsula that Juts Into the james
