Measuring Muscle Strength. A dynamometer for tho measure ment of muscular strength is being Introduced for gymnasium purpose.. Id future there will ba no groping In the dark when thn voting college ath lete Is taken In hand by his trainers for preparation for the boat race or the football match. Every important muscle In his body can betesti'd, and Its strength or weakness at once In dicate 1. In this way a man's weak jsoint is discovered without serious loss of time, and special attention pan thenceforward bo directed to vard the "leveling up" of bis phys ique. The old method of testing a man's muscle by its size, or even by Its harJuess, will no longer be used, nnd strength tests will supersede those unreliable systems of measurement. The muscular strength of the various portions of tho arms and legs can now be differentiated- As a sample Instance of the p sslbllitles ot the new method, it may bo stated that by ascertaining tho strength of the abductors of the leg by tho dyna mometer a bad gait can promptly be cured, as the proper exercise for the weakened muscles can at once bo de termined. The dynamometer is hung on two heavy Iron rods, plat ed in a vertical positlou, with their ends fastened securely to tho floor. It can bo adjusted to any height to the waist, feet, or neck. The muscle tested act directly upon a lever which Is connected with a piston worklDg In a chamber filled with oil. Tb pressure is transmitted to a column of mercury, and the result In pounds U recorded in a slender glass tubs. nuo.
