THE ATHLETE'S HEART. j j In the Rovflng Man It In Strong: and Well Developed. 1 A prominent member of the faculty \ of the University of Pennsylvania Med. ical school has made a study of the heart action of athletes. He has examined a large number of men in athi letics, especially rowing men. and he 5 has come to the conclusion that no man in perfect health who has been proper1t. 4-^oit.rtil ininrod hv mu'iiif hilt" i J naiucu AO iuj u?*.v4 vj * v > that, 011 the contrary, his heart is so . strengthened that, with a moderate ^ amount of exercise after he has finished his rowing career, there is no reason. so far as the heart and lungs are i concerned, that lie should not live to a very old age. 3 ''The heart." said he. 'is both a very i 3 delicate and a very strong organ?that 1 is, if it is well developed it will stand ail enormous amount of strain without 1 any permanent injury, but if it is not r well developed it is very easily weak1 ened. Violent exercise, like rowing, i places a great deal of strain on the heart because when the body is being j exerted it requires so much more pres, sure to force the blood through -he J body. Like any other muscle that is I ^ worked, the heart under the added la1 bor becomes larger, and most athletes have extra large hearts, just as they also have larger muscles throughout " the body. 4*If the strain is put upon the heart suddenly it dilates?it becomes larger, I but not more muscular?and that is the ^ danger in athletics. If a man exercises gradually then bis heart also increases in size gradually because the muscle.* 1 WILL BE I rvr.n Trmirn'RV V/JU^y xxxv -BwJl. v,/ xv x OJ G rego 1^3/ 1115 PI February 14?ly. become larger, and this is a perfectly qormal condition. It simply means that the athlete has a Wronger heart than the average and can cope with the extra strain that is pat npou it. A man needs a larger heart to row a race, and if gradual exercise has so provided him with one then he can safely undergo the most severe tests. "It is the same way with the lungs, and they must be developed gradually until they can undertake the extra work. A man with his heart and lungs well developed is in no danger, no matter how hard the race. He may completely keel over at the end of the race, [ but it will likely be from sheer exhaus tion, and bis heart is so strong tnat tne effect is not at all injurious. He will be as good as ever in a few moments." ?Philadelphia Record. A Brilliant Retort. After dinner speaking is an art, and, like many other arts, its excellence has much to do with the mood of the artist. Some of the best of our after dinner speakers sometimes fail, but it is not often that failure results in the enrichment of the world's store of epigram, as it did in the case of Lord Erskine many years ago. When Lord Erskine was made a member of that highly honorable body,1 the Fishmongers' Company of London, he made an after dinner speech 011 the j occasion of his first appearance among j them as a member. Upon his return he 1 said to a friend: "I spoke ill today and stammered and hesitated in the opening." "You certainly floundered," was the reply, "but 1 thought you did so in cuujiyiuiirui IU iiic ij^uuivii^ui o.
