A feature of cycle* riding that has never been freely commented upon is the energy that may be)dertyed from wheeling, re- marks an exchange.

But with the advent of the safety came @ theosy, advanced by physi- cians and mey in other callings, who could view the results; that wheeling was bene- ficial to the health’ Skeptics argued that the exercise was far beyond what the sys- tem could endure. This idea died an igno- minious death. Strong and healthy Amer- ican boys and girls are flying along to health and happiness in direct repudiation of the time-worn theory. Here is the thing in a nutshell. The man who goes day in.and day out without some form of exercise that stirs the blood finds himself in a condition where the least ex- ertion brings on ailment for which the family doctor must prescribe. A printer on getting out for the first time in the spring finds that he is weak and exhausted after a run of fifty or more yards. The heart is not trained to stand the test, and it Is the heart that backs up the lungs, and these organs are so vitally important when the human sygtem is called upon to perform some feats out of the common. When a cycler first starts to ride he ts un- able to cover much territory, for his wind gives out. The heart is not strong enough; but with constant riding the heart is de- veloped, and can stand almost any reason- able strain. That 1s why cycling is doing much to bulld up the nation’s young men and wo- men. They can endure fatigue without showing signs of injury. They can cover a“ hundred miles in a day and arise the next morning without a headache. It is cycling that is making the youths and maidens strong and self-relian — Boarded by a Sengoing Eagle.

Twenty ounces a year for each inhabitant has been the unvarying average of tea con- sumption in the United States for twenty- five years. England's average for the same period has been eighty ounces for each in- ! habitant, or four times greater. Tea drink- ers, as a rule, use more sugar than coffee drinkers do. Tea-drinking countries are the Sreatest consumers of sugar. In Spain, where chocolate is more popular as a drink than tea, and in France, where coffee is proverbially popular, and supposedly best made, sugar is relatively less used. The annual consumption of sugar in the United States is now 2,100,000 tons, which is about ® pounds a person. Of the total the United States produce 350,000 tons, 1,800,000 being imported. The United States pay annually over $108,000,000 for foreign sugar and $20,- 000,000 for the domestic article. The Ameri- can product of sugar has increased 50 per cent in twelve years. The English c sumption of sugar is at the rate of 70 pounds per capita, the average of Holland and Denmark being 30 pounds, and of France and Switzerland 23 pounds. The expression “enormous,” often erroneously used by statisticians intent upon establish- ing a proposition or destroying an advers: contention, is correct in the case of Hei- land as a coffee-consuming country, for the total consumption of coffee in a year amounts to 40,000 tons, and the total area of Holland is 12,000 square miles—less than half the size of West Virginia. On the basis of the population the coffee consump- tion of Holland is 325 ounces yearly for each inhabitant, and the other countries with which a comparison is made have the averages following: United States, 1 Germany, 90; France, 70; Austro-Hungar Italy, 17; Great Britain and Ireland, 15 Spain, 9, and Russia, 3. The English taste for tea has never extended to the United States, but, oddly enough, in those portions of Canada in which the inhabitants are of English descent the consumption of tea is just as large as in either England or Ire- land. In tea and coffee drinking the United States follow rather France and Germany than England, though the reason for this preference is not altogether clear. od Plan for Reachiug the Pole. From the Chicago ‘Tribune, An entirely new scieme looking to ariel navigation and flight has been suggested by A. W. Nitsch of Boston. It is such a decided departure from all the propositions heretofore advanced for utilizing the at- mosphere for purposes of transit as to command serious attention from scientists and others to whom it has been presented. It Is the idea of Mr. Nitsch that the sub- tle magnetic attraction that holds the nee- dle of the mariner’s compa:s wth unswerv- ing fidelity to the north can be utilized in a magnified form for man’s convenience profit and pleasure. Accepting the theory advanced that vast deposits of magnetic ore exist in the imme- diate vicinity of the north pole, and from there comv the magnetic currents distrib uted over the globe, and that it Is the at- traction of this thus far unbounded field that draws with magic power the needle cf the compass, there is nothing, as Mr. Nitsch looks at it, to prevent its being made of 1 service. “I believe,” said he, “that magnets cou be suspended in the air of sufficient fore to counteract the resistance of the overcome the adverse currents and mov more or less rapidly toward the north r. Nitsch says that it might not prov le, but it was open to argument an! periment, and there was no telling what might come of it. As to the methods of re turn, should such a flight as pictured ever be taken, that was spoken of as a problem that would be solved quickly. ss A Strange Power.

B. ant called on Mayor Swift yester- day and gave to the city three rélics of the early days of Chicago sent from Rockport, Tex., by N. C. Philips, who was a resident of this city in 1852. The relics consist of a carpenter's square, a whetstone and a large key. The articles were covered with rust and were of odd design. The square was used by Mr. Philips, who fs a carpenter, and ‘now eighty-five years old, in building the first frame house ever constrected in Chi- cago. The house was built near old Fort Dearborn, for Mark Beaubien, and was used as a tavern. The first guest who reg- tered at this tavern was ex-Mayor John Wemworth. The whetstone was given Mr. Phillps by Lieut. Jamieson, who was s tioned-at Fort Dearborn. It was also used in building the tavern. The key was made by Mr. Phil:ps for Lieut. Jamieson to un lock the government strong box in the for the original hey having been lost. The ke: was afterward presented to Mr. Philips b Lieut.

A new outdoor game has been invented by the young Countess of Warwick. It is called “lawn billiards,” and is destined to prove a formidable rival to tennis at gar- den parties. The lawn is laid out like an immense billiard table. The balls are simi- jar to croquet balls, but are made of cel- luloid and are hollow; the cues are shor! handied mallets, and the cushions banks of sod. The game is said to be in- teresti but difficuit. | 4 FOOT BALL NOTES. Games Played and Ari for De- tween Various Local Teams. Several changes have been made in the C. A. C. foot ball team. Reeve Lewis has succeeded Fred. Sims as captain of the club, assuming command during the week. During the short time he held the position Sims demonstrated his ability as a good player. Lewis has had, perhaps, more ex- perience than Sims, although the latter Played on the Swarthmore College team. Lewis last year was one of thecstar play- ers of Columbian University. During the week the team was given a 00d deal of practice, that being one of the essential things which the eleven needed. Growing out of the game last Saturday, the regular line-up of the team this season, it is said, will be as follows: Underwood, center; Curtis, right end; Humphreys, left end; McGowan, right tackie; Rawlings, left tackle; Saunders, right guard; Dickin- son, left guard; Parsons, quarter back; Sims, left half back; Maupin, right half back; Lewis, full back. Parsons, who p quarter, was on the team last year, and played good ball, while Rawlings, who will play left tackle, was a member of the Maryland Agricultural team last year. The team left the city Thursday evening for Hampton, where they lined up yester- day against the strong eleven representing the Hampton Athletic Club, the team that defeated the Potomacs of this city in a same at Hampton last Friday. This af- ternoon the C. A. C. boys will fine up Against the officers’ team at Fortress Mon- roe, playing a return game. This is ex- pected to be a good game, and the local boys hope to win it. The game will be a sgcial affair at the place, and immediately after its conclusion the local eleven will take the boat and return to the city, ar- riving home Sunday morning. Mr. Charles T. Cabrera has resigned his managership of the team, and has been succeeded by Louis Korn, who has contin- ued the arrangement for games which was started by Manager Cabrera. One of the most interesting games of next week will be a meeting of the C. A. C.’s eleven and the team from Gallaudet College, which has played four or five games this season without being defeated. The Gallaudet team has a good weight, and the deaf and dumb players can be looked upon to make a good showing. Another game that is being arranged for is with the team from the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa. The In- dians are playing good ball, and would prove an excellent attraction against the local men. The Maryland Agricultural Colleg> eleven played their second game of the season axsinst the Central High School team, and won by a score of 10 to 6 Tais Js the gec- ond defeat of the Central High School for the season; the team of the Alexandria Episcopal High School administered the first defeat last Saturday.
