MoYING IN WATER.
Erroneous Notions ofHOw lis Rightly

Erroneous Notions OF How II " Rightly
"A nei VI isIig Done, III l'rli"'l l.
From the Now YORK Times, Co., 7' i''..l'.l
,m A great deal hos been written about how
toprevent drowning, Of late, and in most
cases 1t has been assumed that any person
can keep the head above water even in n
heavy sen, by initiating q dog Or my other
animal, which, assoon ~ II gets overheard,
begins to walk precisely as on land. Now,
al d matter Of fact any person can keep
afloat BY treading water, but " does not
follow that the first attempt VIII prove
successful Admitting that IL is nothing
more than ordinary walking nthe wnter
--betterli described az walking up
stairs-+few persons will succeed on the first
trial Not only must one know how, to do
II, but he must acquire acertait confidence
In his ability, which only comes attera few
trials. Another very erroneous notion
prevails among the people who have not
tried the experiment, which is that since
the human bOdyis lighter than water, n
person has onlytO'lie on the back, perfect
" still, and he will float. In the first
place, no one can lie on the back IN the
proper position for floating without Consid-
cradle practice. The instructions are sim
Bic enough, Throw tho, head wcll-back,
no as to keep tie nose and mouth as high
out Of the water rs possible, and keep the
chest near the surface, and do not bend the
body. But no one can do this atast, In the
second place, probably not one man in fifty,
even among g0odswimmers, canfloat with
out moving either hands or feet, This Is
not nlattGr Of skill, but Of specific gravity,
II the body happens to be light enough, Us
compared with tho water displaced, then II
Is possible to float in this way; otherwise
Il will sink, ind this Is the ordinary expe-
renee Of all who make the trial hut eve
rybody can swim on the back and easily
keep aHoat In that position by slightly
moving the hands or lower limbs. We
greatly doubt manyof the. wonderful sto-
RIGS that IRE going the rounds of the press
about shipwrocked voyagers who have lived
many hours and travelled many hours by
floating, swimming and treadlng water in
heavy seas .... .
