WHY GOOD SWIMMERS DROWN.

A Professor Gives Some Pointers to SWIM
mers Leaving Vessel.
A professor of swimming, III conversation
the other day with a reporter about the fact
that many good swimmers get drowned
when accident occurs on board of YES
sci, said: "The reason is that a good SWIM
mer is as liable to.take cramp as a bad swim
nler one who cannot swim at all. There n
where the great danger lies.
\ good swimmer thinks he Is not far from
shore, in fact sees the land only a few hundred
yards distant, and gives himself no trouble to
seize II floating spar of some kind when he
jumps from the sinking or burning boat. He
forgets that the water is cold, that it is No
veinber or December and that what he could
do in the summer months he cannot do in the
fall and winter seasons. In few minutes
after he reaches the water and boldly
begins to swim for the shore, he takes a cramp
from the cold water and in little while
sinks. 1t doesn't take long in cold water to
give one "A cramp. But i'll the hurry and ex-
citement of jumping from a boat the fact Is
not considered Many an expert swimmer
has lost his life by taking crsamp.
MY advice to good swimmers Is not to rely
upon their strength to carry them even 100
yards to shore, if they can get plank or
something to assist them in floating. They
frequently swim too fast, overtaxing their
wind in the beginning. They should
swim slowly mt first, keep their mouths closed
breathe through their noses and get off their
shoes and coats, if possible. In reading the
record of disasters to pleasure boats, III nearly
every instance the land is not far. Yet just
as many good swimmers drown as those who
cannot swim we'll When tho land is only a
few yards distant, then of course it is not so
much due to cramps i'll the water as to eX-
element and hurry in leaving the vessel.
Many are killed l.y being jumped upon after
they reach the water. Others are pulled under
by those already struggling in the water
NV advice to good swimmers in the matter
Of leaving the vessel is not to jump with u
crowd especially the first who leave. Remain
until the majority have got into the water
and quietly leap into "A clear place and strike
ut"-New York Mail and Express.

YESTERDAY.

Yesterday, darling-only yesterday,
The heavens were bright, and all the earth was
fair;
Loves golden radiance fell upon our way
Loves dreamy music filled the scented air;
A thousand wild flowers trembed round our rect,
We saw the lilac bou,,hs above us sway,
And heard the wooIlark singing high and sweet,
Yesterday, daTling-only yesterday.
Yesterday, dariing-only yesterday,
With lips apart and hair of russet brown,
You came, dear heart, across the flower decked
way,
Sweeping the grasses with your trailing gown,
Upon your check there "A wild rose glow,
And in your eyes there was a sunset ray;
You came with arms outstrctched-y you loved me
80,
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday.
Yesterday, dariing-only yesterday,
A soft breeze stealing from the sunny south
Blew from your brow the tangled fringe away,
And wooe,i the kisses from your crimson mouth !;
The boughs caressed you as you came along,
The red sun kissed you with its parting ray,
The woodlark praised you in his happy song,
Yesterday, dariing-only yesterday
Yesterday, darling-only yesterday,
All, me! ah mel but yesterday is-dead;
The flower still shines across the flower -decked
way,
And stil the woodark warbles overhead;
But in the shadows of n great despair
weep dear heart, upon the weary way,
For loves bright dream that made the earth so
fair,
Yesterday darling-ony yesterday.

THE EYES OF THE BEE.
The Reefs Sense Of Smell and Hearing.
Mathematical Brain.

The Hee's Sense of Smell and Hearing.
Mathematical Brain.
There is the bees eye, with its hundreds of
facets each presenting the same image
this is proved by separating the many sjded
cornea and looking through it with a micro
scope ut candle flame. The bee, moreover, be-
sides its pair of faceted eyes, carries on the
top Of its head three simple eyes, very convex,
for short distance vision Then there are its
antenn:r. whereby it feels its way in the dark
hive and which give it moreover its exquisite
power of smell. Bees can hear, too, though
Sir John Lubbock thinks not They seem
deaf because, like wise people, they only at
tend to such sounds concern them; their
own hives roar" the stragglers can hear n
very long way Off, and Mr.. Cheshire thinks
that the old key and warming pan music at
swarming time is by means exploded.
Their impasSivencss under many kinds of
sounds he compares with that of most human
beings in thunderstorm; we are as if we heard
not whereas if a child cries for help we wake
into activity.
Bees are clearly not given to waste emotion
or nerve force. They have a nervous system,
with ganglons-i e., knots or humps where
the nerve thread meets. bees brain is a
larger ganglion placed in its head, divided
like ours-into two lobes. In queens and drones
the brain is small The worker has proper
tionately twice much as the ant and more
than twenty times much as the cockchafer
Intelligent though it Is, we need net suppose
it to be a high-class mathematician because it
cells are hexagonaL
Mr. Cheshire says that if you put a soap
bubble on a bit of slate one side gets fiattened.
Put another close to it and the con-
tiguous walls become quite fiat, owing to the
equal tension on both sides Now add five more
bubbles, SO that the first occupies the center;
a cross section of this central bubble will now
bc perfectly hexagonal all the contiguous
walls of the seven bubbles being fiat, the free
ones curved This Is the case in the hive, the
free walls of the comb always running in
a sweep and the hexagonality being simply
due To the pressure OF one bee against another
as they are working.-All the Year Round.

A Perilous Color fn Paris.

Apropos of the charming poem in last
weeks World anent "a Woman in w hite, !"
it would he well for English ladies coming to

tune whose delightful GOODNESS SO pleasantly
inspired your bard. i remember seeing a
lady thus attired walking in the Elysian
Fields-a veritable Beatrice-some weeks ago.
1t was an intensely hot day, and the costume
was enviable in all respects; and yet its un-
fortunate wearer was literally guyed by the
ParisianS 81 that she and her companion were

white, is only worn in Paris in the day by

"THE OREGON ALARM"

And it is an alarm, judging from the
first two issues, which have been re-
ceived at this Office. It is published at
Portland, Oregon, edited by Nathan L.
Baker; D. Cronen is business manager.
Talk about handling things without
gloves, the Alarm knocks 'em around
without so much as a thumb-stall. The
paper is devoted to the interests of the
producers its motto is: "The Tools
Belong to the Toilers; the Products to
the Producers"
Of course right now its columns TEEN
with matter on the Chinese question,
and the way it handles that Subject is
enough to make Sohn's pig-taiI stand on
end. The conspiracies of the politicians
and ofice-holders, whether constables,
Judges or the governor, are held up to
view in the Alarm. and it don't mince
words in its accounts of them.
Burnette q. Haskell Is in Portland, and
there is no question but that he is one ot
the chief spirits of the Alarm; many of
the fearless utterances wear his finger
marks.
Success to you, Alarm, may your toe
sims notes be heard from Portland to
Florida, and may those for whom you
labor strengthen the muscles of your
strong right arm, is the wish of The En-
QEIRER

TOO MUCH FOR WORK.

Eight hours for labor, eight hours for
sleep and eight hours for, culture and
recreation. Every labor paper in the
world should keep this motto at the head
of their columns, and every laborIng
man, woman and child repeat 1t hourly,
and claim it from their employers, until
it becomes a living, burning, worldwide
princlple.-Cleyeland Chronicle.
Good as far as it goes but why should
intelligent editors and agitators advocate
eight hours work, when four. hours are
sufficient to provide the necessaries,
comforts and luxuries of life, if every
one will do his share of the work /? The
man who now works twelve hours, feeds
two idlers; and if he worked eight
hours, he would be carrying one drone.
No, here is the motto: work for all. and
.he that doth not work, neither shall
he eat" .s4 -
The Labor enquirer., 1886-02-27

+ A CAPITALIST writes to John Swinton's
Paper: 'The immediate result of the
adoption of eight hours, if the product
was to be kept up, would be to enhance
values at least 20 per cent. This en-
HANGED value would all go into the
hands of capital. Labor would receive
none of this increased wealth." Why
are values enhanced? Because demand
would make labor higher. Why would
labor get none of the lnerease2 Because
it would receive only the same rate per
hour. This may be capitalistic arithme-
tic. If the enhanced value all goes to
capital, why do not capitalists demand
eight hours, and labor oppose itP What
q very complicated problem this is If
the cost of wealth is increased by labor.
why is it that the laborer gets no more ?
And if capital pays more wages (which
enhances the cost of the product) how
does capital get an increase BY eight
hoursf Arise, capitalist, and answer.

JOHN swINToN, REAb THIS.

am obliged to you for calling my at
tention to the article you extracted from
Our Country, and l hope do not mis-
Judge you if 1 think your sentimentsare
expressed in that article. You are
aware that the best lines in it are its last,
which says:
"These measures once adopted the or
ganIzation of labor would be made pos
sible, and scientific methods easily ap-
piled, would increaseits products beyond
our most sanguIne dreams, while Just
distribution following, would enable
each worker to receive his honest earn
ings."
The measures referred to embrace the
socialization of the railroads, telegraph,
all public means of intercourse, the land
and money; and to this end am I labor
ing, SO that the producer may receive
his honest earnings"- he produces.
But to reach this lust plane it will be
necessary to abolish the wage system,
and it is probably because my views
upon this point have become so widely
known that you headed the extract,
"Let J. R. Buchanan Read This"
Allow me to say, friend John, that if
the workers honest earnings" are all
that he produces land YOU will admit
that, he will never receive his full due so
long as one man has the power to reap
profits from the labor of one other man
and you must not forget that there are
manufacturing and mining industries
which employ more workers, in the
aggregate than do tie railroads, tele-
graphs, banks and farming syndicates.
Come now, admit just this once, that if
governmental CO. operation is the pana-
cea for the ills of some monopolies it is
for others, and that there is no place to
draw the line" this side of universal CO.
operation in production, as we'll as in
distribution.
If 1 misinterpret your reasons for so
pointedly calling my attention to Our
Country's article, stand corrected, my
dear sir.
