An Evil Effect of Cheap Travel.

From the Literary Digest.
Are our powers of locomotion in danger
OF atrophy through disuse? This would
seem to be implied in an editorial note in
the Lancet deprecating the increasing
facilities for getting about. Says the
writer:
Everybody must recognize the advan-
tages of cheap travelling, and the compe-
tition among those who undertake to con-
vey the public from place to place is such
as to reduce the cost to a minimum. In
many cases. indeed. Ii is stated that the
public are practically carried for nothing
The inducement to ride rather than walk
is thus a temptation which continually
confronts the public. 1t is not difficult to
see In this a process which is calculated
to lead to physie al. and not improbably
mental. decentralization. If man can
reach his home by tram-car or omnibus
for halfpenny he is not going to trouble
himself about walking the distance. He
thus loses. perhaps daily, a valuable and
heaithful form Of exercise because travel
ing is SO cheap :" Surely this state
Of things cannot count for sturdiness and
heaithful activity in the future genera
tion but is more likely to lead to a state
of atrophy which must react unfavorably
on the individual 1t is open to question
whether the human race is better off, for
at any rate, q number of facilities which
are constantly thrown in it's way. There
are. of course. compensations. but not. We
think, in all cases"

Eye of the Camera.
From Scrihner'a

When instantaneous photography was
first discovered some thirty years ago.
high hopes were entertained of it by the
artists. 1t was thought, for instance, that
1t would prove of inestimable value to
such painters as MISSIONER and Schreyer,
men who delighted to portray the horse in
violen. action. But to the surprise Of
everybody these great expectations were
not realized. Al first the artists them
selves were puzzled to account for this.
and to explain why the curiously comfort
ed attitudes now disclosed for the first
time conveyed so little the impression of
motion. But when the instantaneous pho
tographS were subjected to a process of
elimination and selection it was discov-
cred that there We're practically only two.
instants in the stride of the galloping
horse that conveyed any idea of rapid
flight to the human eye. The first of
these was at the very beginning of the
stride. when with all four legs hunched
together under the belly. the animal was
preparing for the forward leap; and the
second was at the end of the impulse,
when with legs outstEetched to the limit,
the horse was ready to take the ground
again for another stride. Both of these
periods, it will be seen. were the instants
of arrest of metion-instants when the
human eye could readily seize the action
without the Intervention Of the kodak.
Then at last was perceived the funGamen-
tai law which underlay the phenomena:
the human eye and the human brain be-
hind 1t declined to accept as a symbol of
motion anything which tie eye had not
been able to see for and by itself I'M
aided. In this case, of course, it was
only during the two instants of arrest Of
motion that the eye had been able to
note the position of the horses limbs.
And these two positions of comparative
inaction had, through long association
become to the permanent and fixed
symbols of action in the racing horse
The kodak had. indeed, revealed hitherto
unsupported facts and aspects Of motion
but the eye would have none of them and
chung only to that which was visual.
