A distinguished officer said to me. after
zoe had inspected Edison's photograph

rand. IL wonder can that be adapted to
naval and military use9'' Subsequent
conversation with him developed these
ideas, There is hardly campaign of

Ia hardly an accident at sea Of which we
have ever heard, or that did not give rise
10 the question of the exact wording and
precise emphasis on the wording Of an
order, The most conspicuous instance
in modern times Of q misunderstanding
was perhaps the case Of the charge at
Baiaklaya, but the ceaseless flow Of bat
lie papers in the American magazines
goes to show that what happened in the
case Of our Light brigade happened in
substance pretty often in your great war.

snake Bite and Yellow Fever.

Dr. Urias da Silveira has sent to the
Medico- Chirurgical society Of Rio de ia
metro quantity Of q vegetable substance
which is very common in the provinces
Minas geraes and Bara msnsa-and
which, he says, he has used with great
advantage in the bites Of cobras, espe.
cially during the period In which the
most serious symptoms-hemorrhages
and ataxo-edynamic phenomena--ap-
peared. He points out anaiogies between
the effects Of snake bite and Of yellow

logical nature, and suggests that the
drug he sent should be tried in cases Of

SWIMMING Examinations for schoolboys


One Of the most sensible of school re-
gulations is that ut Elton which specifies
that only those boys who know how to
swin, shall engage in boating. At one time
the school authorities did not interfere at
all in overseeing the oarsmen, and acct
dents on the water were not at all I'M
usual.
In 1910, however, when q boy was
drowned, the law was made that no boy
should be allowed to enter boat who
had not passed an examination in swim
ming. One or tso teachers were APP
pointed river masters, bathing places
were specified, and wateYmen were en-
gagged, both to teach swimming, and to
be at hand with punts, In order to pre-
vent accident.
Bathing is permitted as soon after the
Easter holidays as the weather will al
low, and twice week the river masters
are present ct Cuckoo weir to conduct
the swimming examination. Boating"
OF the Badminton library, describes the
ceremony:
"a number Of the boys thought by the
watermen to be sufficiently proficient.
appear, undressed. In a punt. About
thirty yards off pole is stuck up in the
water. The master stands on high
place called the acropolis, and as he calls
one name after another each pupil takes
a header and swims once or twice
round the pole. It is not sufficient
merely to take the header and accom-
plish the specified distance; he must
swim In approved form, so as TO be capa-
ble Of swimming In his clothes"
Since these forualities have been es-
tabiished only one boy has been drowned
at Eton, though many boats are swamped
under all sorts Of circumstances. Those
who have not passed belong to the class
called s'Ron nant. Youth 8 Companion.
