MIND AND MUSCLE.
Men who are interested in physical
culture find in Dr. William G. An
derson's recent experiments at Yale
University singular confirmation of a
theory long upheld by popular writ
ers on bodily development. This
theory is that exercise of any sort
whjich does not enlist the pleasurable
interests of the person taking it is
little better than no exercise at all.
Thus the man whose calling keeps
him on his feet all day is almost
sure to believe that he has taken ex
ercise enough , whereas he reaUy re
quires another sort in addition to his
work.
William Blaikie or "Bull" Blai-
kie , as be was known to his Harvard
companions , because of his muscular
appearance was among the first
writers on this subject to emphasize
the importance of pastime in physi-
ical development. In his little
"classic" of twenty years ago ,
"How to Get Strong and How to
Stay So , " he cited the example of
Scotchmen who , after working in the
fields nearly all day , would rejoice
in out-of-door sports , by way of re
laxation and exercise combined.
Since Sandow has taken to physical
instruction he too lays stress on the
part the mind plays in building up
the tissues. The exercise taken
" . " No miud
should bo "thoughtful. ,
no muscle , he says in effect.
( \ > i It is this same .idea which Mrs , .
Eddy reduces to absurdity in
' ' Science and Health , ' ' when she says
the blacksmith's biceps are not pro
duced by his wielding of the hammer ,
but by his belief in the muscular ef
fect of the blows. This , of course , is
mis-stating a theory almost as old
as the practice of medicine. The
celebrated Hack Tuke quotes ancient
authorites in testimony of the physi
ological notion that the mind's action
directly stimulated bodily functions ,
and this belief has been taken up
and incorporated in modern medi
cal practice.
Dr. Anderson , with the help of
Yale athletes , lias been pursuing his
investigations for some time , and as
a result of his tests with the "muscle
board" he has demonstrated that the
circulation of the listless athlete is
not greatly affected , whereas the man
who exercises consciously and pleasurably -
urably sends by his movements a
rich supply of blood to the members
exercised.
So gymnastic work accomplishes
small results compared with games
in the open air which bring like
muscles into play. New York Mail
