CHILLY FANATiClSM.
Cranks Who Find Delight In Taking
Frigid Plunges in Midwinter.

Frisid Plunges in Midwinter.
found myself at the Gerpentine at an
unusually early hour in the morning. \
little way out in the water. in front Of
the diving board, was ladder lying On
the ice, and in front of this ladder were
two trestles. Between these two treatles
the ice was broken away, leaving a
space of water to dive into about ten
feet long by five or six wide, the trestles
being placed there for the purpose Of
keeping the miserable little plunge bath
select from the skaters.
To the left of the trestles was another
ladder lying on the ice. Near the bank
found a policeman who was commmi-
cative. The bathers form kind of club.
and number about twenty, he told me
! They bathe every morning. No matter
what the weather is, in they go just the
same. All classes of people belong to
the club, was further told, and some
came from a good distance. One en-
thusiast is - years old. His hair and
beard are white as snow.
Just behind us was very fine old elm
tree. That said the policeman, lis
their favolite tree. That is where they
dress and undress.' | soon found that
this was the case, as the bathers came
up. The first man to arrive lost no time
in undressing, but went TO the tree aad
threw off his clothes, chatting to the po-
iceman the while. Then he sped gayly
to his little patch of water between the
trestles. Into the water he jumped
it is very shallow here-and dipping
underneath it began to throw out some
very large blocks Of ice to the right and
left Of him.
This done, he leaped nimbly on to the
diving board, poised himself, plunged
and disappeared beneath the water, but
only for few moments. He was out
again in that space Of time and ran MIN
bly, to the tree, where he quickly dried
himself and rather shyly dressed. The
Others also undressed quickly, mount
ed the board and dived, but only once,
and they were out like the other man
and rapidly drying themselves. Tl~y
never take more than one plunge in the
cold weather. This was the general
routine of all the bathers, who seemed
to enjoy the bath immensely, uttering
delighted 'Ahs!' as they went in and
came out.
How Go you feel?' said 1 to one who
was drying himself, "cold"
mo; all of Il glow-warm all over"
'How do you feel when you go in frss
-cold?"
''NO, not at all. Of course it's use"
He went OH to say that he had in.
dulsed in the cold plunge bath foi'
twelve years and never missed day
Nor did any Of the others miss if they
could help it. Rain, hail or snow-in he
went and in they went. "I've been in
when it's been 20 degs. below freezing
point" he said delightedly; Its only
about five now," and he seemed sad be-
cause it was too warm.
"And you like it?''
"Rather-most healthy thing in the
world-feel quite fresh for the day.
A-a-ahn'
The bathers are allowed by the author
tiles to have this special lot of water all
to themselves, and very jealously they
guard their privilege On Christmas
day they have swimming race of
hundred yards, with first, second and
third prizes-but not for money.-Lon.
