Tomorrow’s Work Will Suffer if You Overdriv* Today—The Price e Man It Compelled to Pay if Keep* on the Preseure Too Long. When we have set out on a piece of muscular work or heml work we might exi**et to find a steady, regular its crease in the fatigue that resulteu from it—so much work, so much fatigue. But that is not the case. The “fatigue curve” is not a straight line sloping up from one corner of the chart diagonally to the other. Instead It goes sharply upward at the start. Then for a long distance it runs along on an approximate level, and then it takes n sharp upward turn again. The level stage—the plateau of hard, normal working power, where the cost In energy doesn’t vary perceptibly—is the “second wind.” You know how It is In long distance running. At first the fatigue Increases very rapidly. A man lias to push himself with all the will power he can muster. Then all of a sudden it gets easier. It seems as if he had tapped a big, new supply of energy, and ho can keep running foe a long time without any great increase iu his feeling of fatigue. At last he reaches a point where the exertion tells hard again. Fatigue piles up terribly fast now, so fast that unless the runner knows Just how much he is good for and has made careful calculations he is likely to be “all in” before he gets to the end. Every step makes an inroad on his reserve energy. The last spurt costs more than all the rest together. If a mau has covered his distance without touching this final turn of the fatigue curve he will get rested lu a reasonably short time and lie able to go over the course again. But if instead lie has to keep on, teeth set, eyes bulging, “bugging ids corncobs” until he rolls over on the ground, it may take weeks for him to get into good form again. In a big race naturally he’s got to lie ready to do that. There are emergencies in everybody's life when the merely prudent thing Isn't the rigid tiling If a house Is on fire and a family on the top floor is in danger and you're the only person on the premises you can’t stand calmly aside and calculate your fatigue curve. There's a necessity for action—at any cost whatever, even life. A man may have a big proposition to put through, some important combination to effect, a now movement to get under way. Perhaps he is the only person who knows the whole situation. Success may depend upon him. In such a case he must let mere prudence go by the board, and lie must stand ready to pay the price, too, when that’s called for. But such emergencies are not everyday matters. Tomorrow we are going to have another day’s business to attend to, and the probability is that it will be Just as important as today’s. Consequently we have no right to overdrive ourselves today, for the price of It will be taken out of the quality of tomorrow’s work. We have done enough when wc have come In sight of that last costly lap. It's the time

to quit.

A great deal of interesting Information about the nature of fatigue has been made available through the ergograph, an Ingenious recording apparatus devised by Professor Angelo Mosso, a great Italian scientist. It works something after tills fashion: You lay your hand, back down, on a little table. and to the end of one finger Is attached a cord which connects horizontally over a pulley with a small hanging weight. The motion of closing the finger lifts the weight, and as the effort is repeated over and over again the fatigue symptoms lu the finger become clear and can bo observed and recorded In detail. Now, one of the Important discoveries that Professor Mosso has made is that if you keep raising the weight until your finger is exhausted it will take just about two hours to rest It—that is, in two hours you can do the same amount of finger work over again—and the least bit »nore. You would imagine from this that If the experiment were repeated at the end of one hour instead of two you could do just half the amount of work. But it’s only one-quarter as much! That’s the price of work on top of fatigue. One unfatigued man Is to his work os four semifatlgued men to Hie same work. Using all the strength you have, you can’t l>egln to get normal results, and the strain on will and nervous energy is terrific. Carrying a thing through on “nerve” is the costliest business a man can Indulge In. Some people, especially those of nervous makeup, find It hard to tell when the stopping point has been reached—that is, just where the dividing line comes between energy funds available for investment and a capital which cannot legitimately be tampered with. If they get interested in their work they lose sight of everything else and are going on sheer nerve before they realize It. Though fatigue symptoms vary greatly in different people, it may lie worth while to mention a few of them here. Sometimes there Is a flushing at the temples. That is the case with myself when I have l>eon reading hard for two or three hours, and then I know that I ought to call a halt. I could keep on reading with undimin

less night.

With some people a sure sign is the Increased circulation of blood lu the ears or cheeks. Some people have queer feelings iu the pit of the stomach—uot nausea, but something sug

gestlve of it.

Due of the most reliable tests Is the control test, holding the arms out horizontally at the sides and noticing whether or uot the fingers tremble. The fatigue condition raises the nerve pressure gate and allows flowovers from one nerve into another. Normally a nervous Impulse goes along its nerve directly to the point of strain, but when you are fatigued the stimulus spreads into other nerves as well and is uot distinctly transmitted. Sir Francis Galton, the great statistician, says that the best test he knows is that of restlessness, shown in muscular movements. Many times, he says, he has sat in a position whore he could watch an audience ns it listened to some long sclqjitifie memoir. He took notes of how people acted under the strain of protracted attention—how often they moved. At the beginning of the hour they would sit quietly; then they would begin to move on the average of once every four seconds, then every three seconds, and he says that it is possible to trace rigid through any audience every degree of fatigue by the number of muscular movements made. He has simply put together mathematically some data that are familiar to all of us. We have all seen and, alas, been a part of—am audience that was trying to endure the last half hour of an unendurable speech. Everybody was shifting ids position, crossing one leg over the other or back again, moving the fingers, playing with watch charm or chain, yawning, twitching, folding programme, wiping eyeglasses, adjusting back hair, twisting mustache. Those were all fatigue

signs.

A loss of self control in small tilings —that’s the symptom in different terms, and another name for it is irritability. At first it seems strange that this undue sensitiveness to slight stimuli should lie so sure an effect of fatigue; but it means that the resistance gates are down and we become aware of sensations pouring In from all sides, slight sensations that ordinarily we take no notice of because—by the laws of attention—they are quietly shut out from our consciousness. But when our attention is tired—no longer focused, hut scattering—all these slight nerve pricks attack us insistently and we

cannot neglect them.

A noise that you wdll not hear when

you are rested will be perfectly dls trading when you are tired. You w ill go over and shut a window; you will walk around aimlessly; you will swear at the faint crackle of a distant grnphophone. If there is n light above you at an evening lecture it will hurt your eyes almost beyond endurance. Instead of making the nervous system a less responsive instrument, fatigue ; makes it more responsive—more re-

sponsive, but less serviceable.

Every man who is anxious to hit Ids j Job between the eyes should make a ' study of bis own fatigue curve, and i he should put the moral of it to heart.

One morning a man was brought before me on a charge of attempted murder. He was a trim built fellow of twenty five, of refined appearance, and what surprised me beyond measure was that his hair was white as snow. There were three witnesses against him a Miner, Tom Mason, and his two assistants. Fete Galloway and Steve Tucker. Mason was a pitiful sight to behold. His left arm was In a sling. His right leg. in a splint, was supported by a crutch. A bandage covered an eye. Whatever of his face was not covered with patches was of many lutes, 'i he condition of ids two assistants was not much better. The prisoner gave ids name ns Albert Parkinson. After hearing a statement from ids accusers I called upon him

for his story.

“Judge,” he said, “I'm a mining en | gineer I spent four years at college in the scientific department, then went to Germany to study my profession.

Mountain Terraces In Luzon. Governor General Smith of the Phil ippiues recently made a tour of the mountain provinces of northern Luzon, chiefly inhabited by pagan tribes. On his return to Manila tie said: “The journey through the mountain country was a revelation, i have never seer/ such cultivation as we saw lu the mountains. Those people have terraced the mountains in some instances a thousand feet high, and every bit of the land is under cultivation. “I do not believe there is anything In the world that can equal the manner iu which the people of Hie mountains have made their country productive. It certainly surpasses anything I have ever seen. The terraces in Japan are pygmies compared with it. The earth and stone were brought for miles, and the most wonderful part about it Is that the terraces are as solid and substantial ns If they were part of the mountain itself. “Some of them are seventy or a hundred feet high and remain undisturbed through all sorts of weather and landslides. And at the time these terraces were made the people were under arms, working with their knives and shields close at hand and with sentries on every high point of laud and mountain top.”

Some Novel Races. A London newspaper some years ago contained an account of a strange sort of contest which two noblemen got up for their own amusement. It consisted of matching u flock of turkeys against a flock of geese for a race on the London and Norwich road in ihe middle of the last century. The turkeys would Insist upon flying up into tlie roadside trees to roost, while the geese, keeping up a steady waddle all night, reached London from Norwich two days ahead. The same journal also mentions the feats of the Hon. Tom Coventry’s sprinting pig. In 1S03 this speedy animal was matched against a celebrated runner and started a strong favorite on the lay of the race, which she won with ease. The pig had been triUned to run the distance each day for its dinner. Another oild contest about this time took place between two sporting noblemen, who raced against each other on a windy day on Hempstead Heath, one running backward iu Jack boots and the other holding up an open umbrella and running forward.
