PEOPLE who, knowing more or less vaguely that Jean Jacques Rousseau exerted an enormous influence over the France of his day, and for not a few days or years thereafter, yet lack the almost desperate energy and persistence, now required for gaining from the man's books even a hint as to how or why he did it, can profitably the collected lectures of Jules Lemaitre on the great sentimentalist, translated by Mme. Charles Bigot and published by The McClure Company.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of estimating the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) on a cycle ergometer using the blood lactate concentrations [La super( -)] of 4 mM (OBLA) and 5 mM (LA-5mM). Thirty-five volunteers (23.9 plus or minus 2.4 years, 75.9 plus or minus 7.3 kg and 47.8 plus or minus 4.9 mL*kg super( -1)*min super( -1)) performed an incremental test and 3 to 5 constant intensity exercises for the determination of MLSS. There was no difference between the MLSS intensity (177.9 plus or minus 36.8 W) and the LA-5mM (183.9 plus or minus 42.4 W). However, OBLA (168.3 plus or minus 42.8 W) underestimated the MLSS (p < .05). Heart rate (HR) in the MLSS (162.3 plus or minus 10.8 bpm) was similar to the HR in the LA-5mM (160.4 plus or minus 11.4 bpm), but was higher (p < .05) than HR in OBLA (151.6 plus or minus 12.4 bpm). There was no significant difference between the rate of perceived exertion in the MLSS (16 plus or minus 2), LA-5mM (17 plus or minus 1) and OBLA (16 plus or minus 2). Our results suggest that LA-5mM was more efficient to estimate the MLSS in cycle ergometer.

Thirty-five volunteers (23.9±2.4 years, 75.9±7.3 kg and 47.8±4.9 mL*kg^sup -1^*min^sup -1^) performed an incremental test and 3 to 5 constant intensity exercises for the determination of MLSS. There was no difference between the MLSS intensity (177.9±36.8 W) and the LA-5mM (183.9±42.4 W). However, OBLA (168.3±42.8 W) underestimated the MLSS (p < .05).

There was no significant difference between the rate of perceived exertion in the MLSS (16±2), LA-5mM (17±1) and OBLA (16±2). Our results suggest that LA-5mM was more efficient to estimate the MLSS in cycle ergometer. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

IN the strength of its management, in experience gained throughout its more than one hundred years of safe and efficient banking service, the Chatham and Phenix National Bank of New York stands among the worthiest banking institutions of the United States. Under its present executive direction this bank has wisely and rapidly developed upon the solid foundations laid during the past century, has kept full stride with the requirements of modern banking, and in actual gain in volume of business has established an enviable record even for these days of rapid banking growth.

May I ask you to correct, through your valued columns, statements which have been made at intervals in various publications to the effect that certain State receivers are receivers and or coreceivers of the American...

COMPREHENSIVE as is the title-page of Mr. John Foreman's book on The Philippine Islands, all the promises made there are kept by the pages that follow--too well kept, they may think who are in a hurry to acquire a superficial knowledge of our new possessions in the Far East; but other and more serious...

READERS with a taste for the material out of which history is made, as distinguished from history itself, and whose mental digestion is vigorous enough to assimilate ancient records to which little except cutting the strings that bound them together has been done, will be delighted with the feast now set before them...

MR. H. G. WELLS has persuaded himself that his latest book is a serious attempt at scientific prophecy. Probably enough, therefore, it will be accepted as such by the many readers it deserves and is sure to get. As a matter of fact, however, Anticipations is much more of an achievement in criticism of...
