Breathe quickly while floating, and do
not exhaust the lungs, for when they
are empty the body Immediately sinks.
After this has been tried number of
times, let the feet go, stretch them out
straight, extending the arms above the
head so that the toes, face, and fingers
are above water, and then you will find
the position very easy.
In treading water hold the hands
above the surface and step up and
down, first with one and then with the
other foot, taking care to point the toes
downward when raising the foot, and
by bending the ankle step down fiat
footed, so that in raising the foot the
body is not dragged down, and in
stepping down the body is raised up.
AS soon as one has learned the breast
stroke he should learn the dive. The
best way to learn is by squatting on
the edge of the water, with elbows
resting on the knees and the hands
drawn up, as they are in preparing for
the breast stroke. Then plunge into
the water, taking care not to open the
eyes until the head and part of the
body are under the water. There are
many ways of diving, but the straight
forward plunge is the simplest and the
best.
In diving in shallow water it is tie
safest to squat and make a plunge,
strike the surface fat and glide out
into deep water. Swimming under
water is very easily learned. When
at proper distance below the surface
strike out, using the breast stroke,
taking care to bring the arms back
straight. To come up make a down
ward stroke with the arms and that
will bring the body to the surface.
Energy of Sunshine.
"All the energy in the world" said
DR.. c. T. Chandler in a recent lecture
before the Columbus School of Mines,
''comes from sunshine. Even the en-
ergy in the electric battery that rings
the doorbells of our homes has its
origin in the light of the great solar
system. The force in the copper wire
that sets the bell to ringing comes
from the zinc plate in the battery jar.
the energy in the zinc plate comes
rom the anthracite coal with which
it was burned when taken from the
mines; and, finally, the energy in the
anthracite coal was put there by the
sunlight that fed and nOurished it
when it existed, ages ago, as trees
and plants. An interesting misap-
prehension that exists in the minds
of a good many persons is concerning
the vital dangers that Turk in the
pressure of, say, a thousand volts.
The newspapers often tell Us that a
man has been killed from such a
pressure. whereas, in fact, such a
pressure alone could not kill a hum
ming bird. [ have frequently caught
in my hand sparks possessing an cleo
trp-motive power Of 100000 volts
without feeling more than very
slight burn. The danger arises only
when the volts are reinforced by a
good many amperes or currents, and
when one takes bold Of charged
wire. Then one feels shock that is
unmistakable, because the force of a
great many currents in the wire sud-
denly decomposes all the fluids in his
body. The salt in the blood at once
turns to chlorine gas, and the man
whose veins are charged with this
deadly poison cannot in reason be ex-
pected to live"

SENATOR VANCE REFLECTED

DURING the stirring and conflicting
days of July, August, September, and
October when the people were greatly
stirred up in regard to the {. s. Sena-
torship, the CHRONICLE maintained all
along that when the General Assembly
convened SENATOR VANCE would be re
elected by acclamation. In tie face Of
the stormy discussions that agitated and
irritated the people, many regarded this
as foolish prediction and the prophecy
Of one who INDUCED in irridescent
dreams. At times, we must confess,
now that the conflict is past, our faith in
the realization of this dream wavered
but we have always had an abiding faith
in the wisdom and conservatism and
justice of what We, in North Carolina,
call the average man. Whatever he
may have or may lack, he is at least hon
est and conservative. We looked be-
yond the warning elements and trusted
in the sober second thought Of the people
Of the State. In SENATOR VANCE they
had an able, upright and conspicuous
| champion upon every measure which
they favored except, perhaps, one, and
we never seriously doubted that they
would continue to give him their love
and confidence. On his part, SENATOR
| VANCE will continue to represent North
Carolina ably and faithfully. He is the
greatest North Oarolinian, living OF
dead. God bless, and spare him long tc
serve the State he has served and hon
oredl Aud God bless the State and its
people, and give TO US all concord ant

PUBLIC PRINTING.

The silence Of the CHRONICLE upon the
public printing question must not be
taken as an assent to any of the state
ments which have been made by those
who have tried to put the State Printer in
an unfavorable light. All We ask Of the
legislature and the people of the State
is that they suspend judgement until
the legislative committee makes its re-
port.
We have nothing to conceal.
