Numerous drowning accidents occur
every summer through lack of knowledge
that every boy or girl should acquire As
the first part of their education. 1t is no
great art to keep the body ahoat, or so
much as is necessary to keep above the
surface In the excitement of sudden
submersion the victim strikes out wildly
for help. Generally he or she throws
hands or arms above the water and, of
course, down goes the head. All that
need be kept above the surface is the
nose or mouth. Quiet, regular breathing,
and the slightest possible motion OF the
hands under the water will keep mouth
and nose above the surface If this were
oftener thought of, few need drown.

Since exchanging Afpftfon's Cycfofedia for
JoHNsoN's have examined the latter more fully
and carefully, and find my first impressions of its
superiority to Apfiefons, strengthened by many
comparisons. 1t is justly entitled UNIVERSAL
CYcLorEDIA. 1t is a library Tor the LAWYER, physi-
cian, engineer, and businessman. The vast mum
Der of diverse subjects, the great condensations,
accuracy, and clearness of statement, marvel
Ions. It also great satisfaction to find all i'm
dortant articles on professional and scientific topics
stamped with authority by having tue name of :,
well-kncwn and reliable author appended. In
short, it is brief comprehensive and thorough, AMI
I am abnndanty satisfied with my exchange OF
