154 - A more vigorous exercise can Fig. 155. 



be obtained by using what is 

 termed the " Indian club," or 

 " scepter/ 7 one in each hand. 

 (See Fig. 155.) These may be 

 made by the commonest turner 

 from any sort of wood, and it 

 is well that there be several 

 pairs of them, differing in weight 

 and length, and loaded with 

 lead if necessary, adapted to 

 the age and muscular development of 

 those using them. And it is astonish- 

 ing what great strength of muscle can 

 be acquired by this means of exercise 

 continued through a few weeks. Some 

 of the different exercises which may be performed with this 

 club may be seen in Fig. 156, p. 146. 



Another simple mechanism for gaining physical exercise, 

 called the ''triangle," is seen in Figs. 157 and 158. It is
