Every schoolboy thinks that he can broad jump, and so he can to a certain degree. Dut this event is one which should be gone at systematically to get the best results. Th^.- jumper should first carefully notice his stride on going up to the take off, so that he can mark off a distance?say twenty-five yards back?and by stepping on this mark with one of his feet as he runs by he will be sure to strike the take off when he comes to it. The jumper cannot be sure of getting his best efforts into his jump unless ho is practically sure of hitting the take off. After this has been acquired the athlete can get to work. In this run the jumper's highest speed should be reached at about ten or twelve feet before the take off, so that he can gather himself for the jump. After leaving the take off he should shoot out and up. He must have elevation or his efforts will be in vain. He should go into the air at an angle of at least forty-five degrees. A good way to get this elevation is by placing a hurdle in the jumping pit and jumping over it. The jumper should gather himself together as he goes through the air, and at the finish, just before alighting, he should force himself on by a spasmodic effort with his arms and body. The legs will strike the ground at the farthest possible distance. Practice will show how far out the feet can be thrown without the athlete's falling back Into he pit. It must be remembered that the greater the speed the farther out the feet can be thrown with safety. A great deal of practice is necessary to become a good broad jumper, but this an event which It is not well to practice too frequently, as it is very hard on tbr 1c>gs. The broad jumper will therefore not expect to get at his best during his first season.?G. W. Orton in St. Nicholas. TRAGEDY OF ANIMAL LIFE. Something: Pathetic In the Career of the Passenger Pigeon. To him who knows the story of the passenger pigeon this group of beautiful, grayish brown birds with the iridescent golden sheen upon their throats is the last word of a tragedy of animal life. America was once the land of the wild pigeon. Early American writers are full of references to it. Alexander Wilson, the father of American ornithology, estimated that a flock seen by him in 1S03 contained over 2,000,000 individuals. It stretched from the ho A~ kAM7An na fo oa thA pyp | riZ-UII LU 11IC LAKJL l/J\JLiy ao IUL UW IUV V|? coiild see, and was over four hours in [ casing a-given point. He saw a nesting SOj?j}J~.?orlT miles long and several 1 ponies in width. Jn 1805 .i^Udubon saw schooners at the Whuffs in New York loaded not in I packages, but in bulk, with wild pi| geons caught up the Hudson river and sold for a cent apiece. Up to 3SG0 the bird continued fairly abundant Then a frightful slaughter began to supply an increased food demand. Gun, pole, club, net and sulphur pot were employed. Thirty dozen birds were captured at one spring of the net. One man netted 500 dozen in one day. In l the nesting season trees were shaken or felled and wagon loads of squab taken nightly, droves of hogs being turned in to utilize what the "hunters" had left. Wherever the distracted hocks appeared the slaughter began. At the last known large pigeon "nesting," in 1S7S, a billion birds were killed during the seasou. Like the bison, it was effectually exterminated, showing the terrible efficiency of man when he sets out systematically in pursuit of a lower species.?New York Post.
