| “A Horse Has Only One Leg”
i That ls the Solemn Truth, and It Applies to YOU
You will live longer and have better success if you will ab
sorb and utilize the wisdom in that statement, ‘‘A horse has only
one leg.”’ To that statement we add this: ‘‘You have only ONE
vital organ in your body.”’
Here is the explanation: The horse has only ONE leg—as a
wise old gentleman said, because the other three legs are utterly
useless if anything happens to any one.
Cut one leg from a horse, and he has no more working legs
at all—for he can't walk. Injure one leg so that it can not be
used, and the horse is as though it had no legs.
There are many organs in your body absolutely necessary
to life. You have two glands near your kidneys, for instance.
Take out one and you get a goiter. Take out the other and you
die.
If anything »appens to your heart, you die, of course. With
out a liver you could not exist. The lungs are essential. From
the head down, through the spinal cord, you are a complication
of machinery, ‘‘fearfully and wonderfully made.’’
Yet, as the horse has only one leg—because he can do noth
ing if one leg is hurt—so you have only one vital organ, since
injury to one means the destruction of everything.
A well-known, highly educated man in a great Eastern city
died the other day. Every newspaper should have printed after
his death a sermon on common sense in caring for yourself.
This man, well educated, but neglecting common sense care
of his machinery, did this foolish thing. He ate heartily and im
mediately went to work in a gymnasium. His heart stopped
working and he died.
Any child might have told him that, after eating, violent
exercise is dangerous, just as eating is extremely dangerous
after violent exercise.
After you have eaten, the blood goes to the stomach; all the
energy of your machine is concentrated on the stomach. If you
exercise violently after eating, you take the blood from the
stomach-—the muscles demand it and get it. The heart is then
required to do two things st once. And if the heart is weak,
you die.
After you have exercised violently, the blood rushes to the
muscles in which the exercise has taken place. If you then eat,
the stomach suffers for lack of the blood, which is absolutely es
sential to digestion. Many men have dropped dead because they
ate heartily after violent exercise.
Almost any man knows enough not to let his horse éat or
drink until it has rested after hard work.
But not one in a hundred knows as much about himself as he
knows about the horse. Y
Not one in a thousand knows as much about himself as he
knows about his automobile. :
The problem of caring for yourself is very simple.
Given a sound body, a little attention to it, and freedom
from the worry which kills, and any man might live to a hun
dred.
The most important thing about an automobile is the en.
gine. The most important thing about your body is THE
HEART. The engine in the motor and the heart in your body
supply the power.
The next most important thing in an automobile is the car
buretor, and, in you, THE LUNGS. The carburetor supplies the
_@as to the engine, the lungs supply the oxygen and electric force
to the body.
2 The third thing in the automobile is oiling, and in your
‘body, FOOD.
We WORK with the strength we get from the air through
the lungs—just as the automobile works with the strength it
gets from the gasoline through the carburetor.
Our food replaces the parts that we wear out—just as the
oil in the automobile prevents wearing and friction.
’ Get plenty of fresh air—windows open at night. Form the
habit of deep breathing, let the oxygen and the electric force in
the air clean the blood as it passes through your lungs—then the
heart, your engine, will work well.
Eat carefully, regularly, simply and slowly—building up
- with the right food the tissues, the' parts of the body that you
wear out,
Sleep regularly. The time spent in sleep in your body is like
the time spent in charging a battery in the automobile.
While you are asleep your nervous system, which is your
buattery, stores up force.
All of this could be learned in childhood and become mere
habit at the age of fifteen.

The History of the Moon
Is a Long Series of
% b e
(atastrophes
Garrett P. Serviss Tells of Its Birth and of Its Tragic
End, When All Its Life Was Destroyed by Some
Great Disaster That Has Left Its Traces Visible on
Its Surface.
HE history of the moon ap-
T pears to have been one long
series of tremendous catas
trophies. Its origin, according to
the theory of Darwin, which is
now generally accepted, was a
catastrophe sublime in its mag
nitude—the tearing asunder of
the molten globe of the earth, or
more properly speaking, the
stripping off by certifugal force
of a large portion of its periphery.
After the consolidation of the
moon came another chain of
catastrophes, the effects of which
are plainly visible upon the lunar
disk, and these have recently
been made the subject of special
photographic study by Messrs.
Loewy and Luiseux, of the Paris
Observatory. It may not be gen
erally know that scores of the
huge cicatrices that scar the face
of ‘the moon can plainly be seen
by anybody, without any of the
instruments of an observatory,
thanks to the remarkable powers
of the “prism binoculars,” many
varieties of which have, within a
few years past, been invented and
placed upon the market. With
one of these litle lnltrnm'enu, no
more cumbrous than an opera/
glass, such objects as the great
lunar rings of Copernicus, Tycho,
Manilius, Menelaus, Clavius,
Archimedes and many more are
distinctly, not to say startlingly,
exhibited. The vast mysterious
rays that start at Tycho and tra
verse the lunar plains and moun
tains for hundreds of miles on all
sides are clearly shown, and the
amount of detail visible on the
broad dark plains, called “seas”
is astonishing when we consider
the exceedingly modest propor
tions of the instrument of ob
servation. Of course, in order to
see the endless finer details one
must employ a telescope.
On the moon, as among the
others, photography has proved
itself capable of revealing many
things not visible to the eye, even
when aided by powerful tele
scopes. Moreover, many of the
less conspicuous lunar features
are so complicated and, also, so
confusingly graduated with light
and shade, that no draughtsman
can correctly represept them. For
these reasons astronomers who
seek to penetrate the ultimate
secrets of the lunar world have
come to depend largely upon pho
tographers’ pictures.
For several years past Messrs,
loewy and Luiseux have assidu
ously photographed the moon in
all its phases and under all {llum
inations, and, taking their pho
tographs for a basis, they have
studied the innumerable ques
tions relating to its past and
present conditions, and partic
ularly the bearing of the past
upon the present. Finally they
have presented to the French
Academy of Sciences a series of
conclusions concerning the lunar
world which possess the highest
interest and which are founded
upon their personal Investiga
tions.
To begin with, they dicuss the
theory which was suggested by a

By Garrett P. Serviss.
German astronmer, Gruithuisen,
50 years ago, and which has re
cently been revived in various
forms by others, that the gi
gantic ring mountains on the
moon, many of which are from 40
to 80 miles in diameter, and pos
sess central peaks in the midst
of the deep depressions within
their encircling walls, were creat
ed not by volcanic action, like
the comparatively insignificant
craters on the earth, but by the
fall upon the moon of huge mass
es which partially liquefied the
surrounding surface and cast up
vast viscid rings, which after
ward solidified. Similar phenom
ena, it has been noted, are pro
duced when stones are dropped
into soft mud. They are also
seen when projectiles are fired
against a target and a melting
occurs.
It has been supposed by the ad
vocates of this theory that a ring
of circulating bodies once sur
rounded the earth at approxi
mately the distance of the moon,
and these are supposed to have
been gradually drawn in upon the
moon. The theory is attractive
to the imagination, and it finds a
certain degree of support in the
actual existence of rings com
posed of independent masses sur
rounding the planet Saturn. But
Messrs. Loewy and Luiseux con
clude that this is not the true
explanation of the origin of the
lunar formations., On the con
trary, they think that the great
lupar ring mountains were creat
ed by volcanic eruptions. They
are also of the opinion that the
“seas” once centained water. This
would favor the supposition that
the lunar globe was formerly
habitable. But, if so, its end as
an inhabited world must have
been a catastrophe of the most
fearful character. Its whole
surface is more or less pitted with
Immense craters. It is Impossi
ble to concelve that life could
continue to exist upon a world
whose crust was thus torn apart
in every direction. The streaks
running for hundreds of miles
straight away from the crater
Tycho are supposed by many as
tronomers to mark huge lines of
fissure where the globe of the
moon was split apart, the crev
ices beiug filled with material of
a lighter color than the surround
ing surface.
Whichever view we adopt—that
of a bombardment, pitting the
moon as thoroughly as ever a
battleship was pitted by shells, or
that of a universal upheaval of.
the surface by volcanie explosions
—it is evident that the end of the
moon as a living world was any
thing but a peaceful one. The
earth has now, at least, no ring
of bodles surrounding it ready to
fall upon its surface, and, on the
other hand, its volcanic energles
appear to have been far greater
in the past than they are likely
to be in the future. We may,
therefore, anticipate that it will
never be the scene of such a
world tragedy as has evidently
been played upon the stage of its
satellite,
