AT the close Of the Poushkeepsie

collect these statistics. The other
universities which will do IL are
Pennsylvania, Cornell. Columbia.
Harvard and Syracuse.
The University OF Pennsyivaria
was the pioneer In the effort to ind
out just what effect rowing has on

cism became % acute against the

The late Mike Murphy. who was
Americas greatest trainer. made a
series Of experiments on the en-
largement OF an athletes heart In
conjunction with one Of the leading
physicians Of this city. They first
took an unframed athlete and hal
him run half q mile in about six
minutes. marking the outline OF his
heart before and after his effort.
They found that the heart had d.lat-
ed considerably. Then they took
q trained athlete and had him run
half a mile In fast time. making the
same Investigation. They found
that there was hardly any dilation

From these and other experiments

FROM NOME ID CORDOVA IN
 A DAYS

J. A. Vint, a mining man of Seward peninsula, who arrived in Cordova on yesterdays train, made a record trip from Nome to the coast. He and Barry Keon left Nome with a string of good dogs and mushed over the trail to Fairbanks, covering the distance in nineteen travelling days. MT. Keon remained at Fairbanks for a few days, but as MT. Vint is anxious to get to the states he came straight through to Chitina with a team of five dogs, and covered the distance in less than five days, making the trip from Nome to Cordova under twenty--four days, in the hope that he would catch the Alameda, which sailed from here yes terday morning.
 Mir. Vint Is very optomistic about the Nome country, which he believes Is still one of the best placer camps in Alaska. At present there are fifty three dredges on the peninsula and the results from practically all of them have been satisfactory He believes Nome will be a big gold producer for years to come.
 As he intends returning north in March MT. Vint left his dogs at Chiti- na, where he will pick them up and make the long overland journey back to Nome

IN SUSANNA |S
 DELAYED

Things are very quiet in the Sushan- ma, according to Deputy Marshal A. F. Hoffman, who came out yesterday with James Kingstona charged with the murder of Louis Schornborn.
 Weather conditions are largely re- sponsible for comparatively small amount of prospecting being done so far this winter. Until recently there was not enough snow in the country to afford sledding, and as practically all of the claims are above timber line, necessitating the hauling of wood for thawing purposes, the prospectors have been seriously handicapped. Re gently sufficient snow has fallen so that fair sledding prevails. and num- Der of men are engaged in hauling wood to their claims. and between now and spring some results are look ed for. The prospectors as a rule are very hopeful, and are now working with a will to uncover the elusive pay streak.
 Marshal Hoffman estimates that there are between 25O and 275 people in the camp.

MRS. W. H. CHASE |S SEVERELY
 BITTEN

Mrs. w. II. Chase was severely bit ten this morning by her dog 'Dodo, " receiving several wounds about the face, a laceration of the lip, which re- quired several stitches to close, and suffered the loss of two teeth.
 Mrs. Chase was playing with the animal when he suddenly attacked her, biting her severely through the cheek, and tearing her lip so that the doctor was compelled to take several stitches in it to close the wound. The dog also knocked out two of her teeth and otherwise bruised her about the face. The dog has been extremely friendly and no cause can be assigned for his sudden attack upon his mistress.
