Bicycling is a very remarkable exercise, but racing should not be encouraged, since serious consequences to the heart and to those forces actively called into play are to be feared. Instead of popula rising these contests, therefore, we should res train and prevent them. Active and passive gymnastics ought to be encouraged in so far as they facilitate respiration and help the muscular system. Fencing deserves the hearties: approval, as it develops the strength.
the Gaulois, and the Figare remain firmly con- vinced that Kuropatkin's plan' is not only the path of safety for Russian strategy, but that the present commander-in-chief of the military forces is the one man competent to carry it through to ultimate success. These great dail- ies do not seem to know what to make of such stories as those in the Paris Matin 10 the effect that Kuropatkin is to be provided with an sociate, the Russian army at the fronts to be divided, aud Admiral Alexeieff to be invested with a sague kind of supremacy over every trody. It it difficult to reconcila these reports with all that has been said of Kuropatkin's plan by those French organs which devote so much of their space to its praise and elucidation.

That is why he remarked, at the time of h's departure for the fr. ni, that he would at first be accused of incapacity in not having prevented the advance of the Japanese, and subsequently of treason in having handed Port Arthur over to the enemy. These critic isms have already commenced in St. Petersburg and efforts are being made to bring them to the attention of the Czar. They are upheld by political, considerations of which Admiral Alexeieff is making himself the vehicle.
The efforts to discredit Kuropatkin will not be successful, in the opinion of the organ of the French Foreign Office, and its sources of information are believed to be of the very best. At the same time it admits that the enemies of Kuropatkin are powerful and determined:
They are not satisfied, moreover, with criticizing Kuropatkin's plan. They criticize hits military capacity. As the foundation of reputation was laid under the auspices of Skobeleff, whose chief of staff he was, his enemies are now attempting to prove that Skobeleff did not think much of Kuropatkin, who never could do anything of consequence unless in concert with a great general. Some are dwelling upon the fact that during the attack upon the Green Mountains before I levne, it was announced to Skobeleff that Kuropatkin had been wounded. Skobeleff paid no attention and continued his movement
Others declare that Skobeleff once said to
Kuropatkin: 'Alexis Nicolaievich, you are an ambitious man and you will have a fine career, buto not forget my advice. Never accept an independent post in which you will have to direct affairs This was probably alleged in connection with a recent cbservation by one of Kuropatkin's ruemies: 'At present he only wants Skobeleff, and all would go well if he had one. Many persons in this group accused Kuropatkin of boundless, ambition.

(d) For fleshy adults with thickening of the heart: The moment the heart is atacked and becomes fatty, bicycling is bad. Walking up an incline is preferable; and if at the same time one decreases the amount of food and drink taken, and abstains from alcohol in all its forms, this form of exercise may prove very,
efficacious.
(e) For affections of the heart: No one should be permitted a bicycle unless a careful examination of the heart has been made. 1 have seen the most grave accidents result in the case of those who have the least lesion of the heart. For them bicycling should be absolutely prohibited.
(f) For perso's with diseased lungs: As thmatic patients may bicycle to advantage if the heart is sound, but consumptives cannol. in any case the patient should not be allowed

REMARKABLE SCENE IN A
LONDON THEATRE.
A most extraordinary and unrehearsed scene occurred during the first act of "The Earl and the. Gil" at the Iyric Theatre on the 13th ult,
when, without a moment's warning, a sheet of water was suddenly let loose from above the flies. As it came down it resembled a sheet of glass-a water curtain that drenched the per formers near the footlights, and almost washed Mr. Hamish Mac unn, the conductor, out of his chair. Some of the audience in the front rows may have been slightly splashed, but the members of the orchestra were wet to the skin, and the drums were so saturated that new ones had to be procured. The cause of the strange accident was the new automatic fire sprinkler, fixed by a new order of the London County Council, being set in motion through some un- explained cause. The shower continued for early six minutes, until, in fact, the water was turned off at the main. The audience was amused by the novel experience, and un-

THE "TIMES" says.-
"The Trypograph differs in essential res pects from the copying processes now in use It is capable of producing any number of im- pression all in permanent black, and does not require skilled labour. It is simple. Those who have occasion to issue a circular or many copies of a document will find it to their advant age to give it a trial."

"Mr. Zuccato's invention is indeed a per fect system of multiple printing. No roller or inking slab is required, and one stencil will yield hundreds of copies."

thinks more than he speaks. All that is known of his participation in the wars in Central Asia and in the Near East reveals him as a circums- pect man, the enemy of fiery impetuosity ...Skobeleff highly esteemed him and admited his methodical traits.'
'Kuropatkin's plan is the only one possible in the mountainous region through which the three Japanese armies have been advancing:
"Mountain warfare is a very specialized branch of the art. The Russian soldier and
the Russian officer are essentially combatants
of the plain. They canhot adapt themselves over night to affairs of hill and defiles. On this point the old masters of Alpine warfare could furnish useful maxima whether one go as far back as 1635, to the Duke de Rohan, directing his campaign of Valtelme against the imperial troops or whether one prefers to refer simply to Lecourbs and his exemplary manceuvres in 1799. To one of these authori ties mountain warfare was, above all things, a matter of decisión. You must advance, as in the plain, to the point you wish to carry, and attack it, with all your forces brought together, with ao loss of time and without a thought of turning back. To the other authori- ty the mountain is an open fortress with a defenceless entrance, a drawbridge always lowered. Strong in every part, it is eminently weak in lines of communication.
"There is truth in both these opinions. The art of command in the mountains is to reconcile them into a happy medium and lo apply them opportunely, That is what the Russians have never taken the trouble to do by means of text-books, and what they will never learn except through their own [39 experience.
