RUNNING UPSTAIRS.
Causes an Excessive and Injurious
Strain on the System.

800 49, Nt'N - -NNttfs
Every one knows that the ascent OF
4 staircase Is more fatiguing than ordi-
nary walking. In walking progression
IS effected 10y 4 succession Of lifts. in
Ilinations and swings.
In starting the body is lifted. for ex-
ample. by the levers OF the right foot
and IS inclined forward The left foot
being then raised from the ground. the
leg swings forward and IS carried BY
It's momentum beyond the right foot.
The levers OF the left foot now lift
the body again, and the right leg
swings forward, and SO the body oseu-
ates along on pair Of pendulums.
Short pendulumS vibrate more quickly
than long ones, and therefore short
legSed people step quicker than long
legged people. though with no more
sense OF eXertiOn
In going upstairs the mechanism or
progression IS Of course the same. but
the lifting action, which IS the real
force consuming part Of the process. IS
now greatly increased.
Instead Of being just sufficient 10 ad-
nit or the free swing Of the pendulum
wv a. must ~ 80 great rs 10 pro- eCC
the body up at each step n distance
equal 70 the height Of the stair.
Running upstairs IS thus an excess
i've strain upon the constitution. but
where does this strain fall? The levers
OF motion are moved Immediately by
the muscles. but the muscles cannot
act OF themselves.
Their cOntractions and relaxations
take place only under stimulus. They
are all connected by lines OF force, call
ed nerves, with the nervous centers.
and these are the sources Of muscular
stimulation.
Not that the nerve force Of the brain
Is converted into the mechanical move
ment Of progression. but nerve force IS
constantly drawn upon to maintain
the action of the muscles. and this
draft IS always greatest where there is
n sense of eXertiOn.
When bodily vigor is high. the evil
result OF running upstairs may not be
decidedly felt, but where there Is de-
bility Of any of the processes this
strain cannot fail TO tell in some form
or other with injurious effect-St.

Whom the World Was a Cube

There was a time, centuries since.
or course, when the learned men OF
the world really taught that the world
was square, not merely flat. but
that 1t was cube. The primitive ge-
ographers Of Egypt Assyria and China
all taught that the world was n
square plane" evidence of which may
be found on thousands Of ancient mon
uments in the countries mentioned. as
well as In their ancient manuscripts.
