Is something between a theater ana di9sect

had gaZed upon that wonderful apparatus for
learning to swim upon dry land, until my
limbs were upon the point Of involuntarily
striking OUT for an imaginary shore but

when a great bell was rung, and a sotorous
voice exclaimed: ."EXperlments connected

was made from all parts OF the house to that

even than before by the watery medium
foreshortened at right angles to himself, exag-

and noisy bubbles and now and then he would
emerge as to his head and shoulders, and tap
the metal helmet with the half pence, to let

lhorrid movements all along-that he had pick
