TIE BREAST STROKE.

''It's the simplest thing in the world
Tor man to learn how to swim if he
only makes up his mind thoroughly to do
1t, said Gus to the writer the other day.
"T'he trouble with most learners is that
they are afraid. don't mean to say that
they're towards, but when they fird
themselves in the water and feel how
cold and clammy it is and how it seems
to be reaching up and trying to haul them
down and strangle them they get nervous
and anxious, and presently make up ther
minds that it's no place for them. That's
why boys learn so much faster than men.
They are no drawer, of course, but when
| tell boy often enough the water can't
hurt him, it sinks into his mind, and
lfter while he believes it. Then he
strikes out and devotes all his energies to
learning how to swim. The result is that
litter few lessons he learns the art. A
man who does not know how to swim has
his own ideas about the water. If I tell
him he's all right and nothing can hap
pen to him he wonders how the deuce
know. He may not say so in SO many
words, but that's the way he feels. It's
easy to see by his actions. If he'd only
realize that he's perfectly safe he ought
to learn faster than boy. Most men
have more flesh in proportion to bone than
boys have. This makes it easier for them
to float and consequently to learn how to
swim.
"Then, too, a learner must not think
that in order to get. along in the water
he must swing his arms as hard as if he
were trying to punch hole in an oak
plank. The ninth part of human body
will be above water if the body is only
kept perfectly still and the lungs inflated.
It's a queer thing, though, that, except
in the cases OF very fat people, I have to
teach them how to swim before they can
be induced to try to float. There's some
thing about that all-gone, choking feel
ing when the water closes over them that
makes men afraid to try to float until af-
ter they have learned to save themselves
by swimming"

Oil From Wood.

A new industry has sprung up in
Sweden, which consists in the extraction
Of oil from wood. 1t appears that this
industry is becoming every year more
important branch of Swedish trade. The
portions of timber and plants which used
to be considered valueless are now util-
ized. After being subjected to various
processes they yield not only oil, but tur-
pentine, creosote, acetic acid, charcoal
and pitch. It appears that the igneous
oil produced in Sweden cannot be burned
in ordinary lamps, owing to the quantity
of smoke it throws off, but has to be used
in specially constructed lamps, similar to
what are employed for photogen. 1t costs
about tifty-five centimes per litre, is not
explosive, and burns much longer than
photogen. There are now thirty manu-
factories for turning out this substance
in Sweden-so rapidly has the industry
developed-and the annual production
is about 40, 600 litres. Drug, Oil and
Paint Reporter. J tH

gives me great speed, but the stroke is
very tiring. l suppose that for fifty
yards this iE about as fast a stroke as
you can find, but it's ezhausting. A
young man came Up to tine Harlem two
years ago to try for the 100-yard
championship of America. He swan

ield. Then DR.. Hermann Braun passed
him as IL he was anchored and won,
breaking the record. lie was swimming
the English overland stroke, generally
used by the racing men of this country,
professionals and amateurs alike. Still,
if you have only short distance to go
and your wind and strength are great,
you can make good use of the Indian
stroke. By the way, it's always a good
scheme for anybody who wants to do any
life-saving to be sure and get his shoes
off before plunging in. They fill with
water and drag a swimmer down like so
much lead"
Denny Butler swims the English rae
ing stroke better than any man the writer
has ever seen in or near New York. Will
lie Beckwith, the champion of England,
is possibly as fast as Butler, but he is q
| thickset little man and not nearly so
graceful in the water. Denny is long
and lathy and greyhound-built all
through. As he swIms in race he swings
his left arm under his head constantly,
alternating it with downward sweeps of
his right. He goes on his left side alto
gether. The stroke is hard to describe
and is one of those things which to be
appreciated, ought to be seen. Mr.. Tous-
saint, long-distance amateur champion OF
America, swims it beautifully. He is
one of Gus Sdndstrom's pupils in the New
York Athletic Club. Denny Butler can
not float. He has too little flesh on his
frame Of powerful bones and thews. He
tried for ten minutes the other day to
show the writer how to float, but to no
avail. ''Show me how to do it, then"
urged the pupil. 81 can't" said Denny,
with something of a blush. ''I'm too
lean." "When it came to teaching the
racing stroke things were different. He
plunged into the bath and swung his
| lone lathy. brown right arm throu0h the
air, down into the water and through it,
and his body shot forward as though fred
from catapult. His head was twisted,
chin up.
Each time the lean, right arm heaved
through the water the black head went
beneath the surface. When the left
hand took hold it lifted and Denny
screwed his face around, opened his
mouth and gulped in vast amount Of
fresh air. II call this the porpoise

stroke" he said, "because I go down
and come up again like porpoise as l. go
along. Do you know the best way to
save drowning mans life? Hit him in
the neck if he's making fuss and knock
him out. Then get him by the hair, lie
on your back and swim backward with
the current. Your body is then under
his, and helps to float him. If he comes
to, he can't very we'll grapple with you
and sink you. Never go near fellow
who is struggling in the water, or the
chances are that he will sink both of you.
Let him get unconscious, or at least
make him keep still before you go near
him. The great thing after all, is never
to get ratified. Keep your wits about
you and life-saving is an easy matter. -

ENGLISH RACING STROKE.

Its all matter of confidence" said
Gus. 81 don't see what's to prevent any
man not an invalid from learning how to
do this in half dozen trials. He must
remember to keep his feet and legs we'll
down beneath him and to turn his hands
SO that the palms are not quite flat, with
the outer edges lifting little. Then let
him kick anl strike out gently at the
same time, and what in the world is there
to prevent him from going forward and
keeping afoat2"
Then Gus tried another method. He
kept on kicking as vigorously as before,
but now he, swung first one arm, then the
other overt water and brought them
down and past his sides much as man
hauls rope. "That stroke" he said,
"has several names. They used to cali
it 'dogs-paw' when I was boy because
it's something like the way dogs swim.
I've have heard it called the Indian
stroke, too, but I don't know why it

Spelling Bees Drove Him Crazy.

Probably the queerest character that
mas been received in the asylum at
Milledgeville, Ca, recently, is a young
fellow brought from Walker County.
The subject of his arrangement is spell
ing, and it is said he went crazy during
the spelling bee craze several years ago.
He uses the same letters for spelling any
word given him, and invariably pro-
nounces the result of his babbling
'asafetida." When given word to
spell he throws open one corner of his
mouth and yells at the top of his voice
."B-a ba, va va, ga ga, ia ia, d-i di,
asafetida." He can be seen most any
lime about the yard spelling for the
amusement of the crowd, who generally
reward him with a chew of tobacco for
dis effort.- Chicago Herald.

Military discipline during times OF

Hungary than anything ever heard Of
this side Of the Atlantic. A young officer
was recently put in change Of bat

overwhelmed with the heinous nature of
his offense and its possible consequences
that without further ado he wrote a

THE INDIAN STROKE.

Gus was not burdened with any great
amount of costume. 1t was becoming
and not at all hampering when he moved
in the water. He walked out on a
spring board over the tank and balanced
himself while he spoke. He held on
carefully with his feet-if such thing
be possible--to the rubber mating that
covered it. He teetered up and down a
couple of times, lifted both hands at full
arms length above his head, palms TO-
gether, and sprang down and far forward
into the tank. The water was fully six
feet deep, but he didn't seem to go two
feet below the surface. 'tThere's some
thing people should be careful about"
said Gus as he fioated along face upward.
"a man may dive into three feet of water
If he'll only be accurate and guage his
dive right. Lots of people hurt them
selves by whacking their heads on bottom
in shallow water. There's no need of it.
Now, here's the easiest way to swim.
He turned face downward and swan like
a frog, a sweeping breast stroke with the
arms, accompanied with a strong and
simultaneous kicking by both legs.
Each stroke, although apparently easily
made, sent him forward with rush.
