And the dressing rooms. every one provided
with a fresh water shower and an electric
light, and the clubrooms for the companies
of bathers-they are counted by hundreds,
and are built tier upon tier, until the Wis.,
itor Is amazed at their number as much as
he wondered at the maze of tunnels. The
spectacular effect Of the baths was promi-
nent in the purpose of Mr.. Sutro in plan
ming these baths. The glazed roof, that
great span that is more than two acres in
area, Is so high above the tanks that look
ing up to the vault seems like peering from
the court of the Palace Hotel TO the sixth
story. Elevators and grand staircases give
communication from one tier of the build
ing to another. About the bathing tanks
are seats in tiers; seats for $500 people in
q great amphitheater, and there is room
for fifteen thousand more to stand and to
promenade. A place that can accommodate
twenty thousand people at one time must
be of some size. At the ocean end Of the
tanks is a great stage, fifty feet broad, on
which musicians will be seated. By the
sides of the staircases are planted won
derful tropical plants, and in great boxes
above the p~romenades are growing palms.
The baths are full of beauty and color.
Through the glass side walls Is the ocean
view. Provision is made for three restau-
rants, each on a different tier of the build
ing, an aquarium, a carriage entrance, q
conservatory, and possibly more tunnels.

Most Sprains and Bruises Treated by
Rubbing Injured Parts.

A professional friend surprised the writer,
yesterday. by saying he wondered why men
wore black eyes when there was no neces-

Half an hour OF massage, judiciously ap-
piled, after the injury, he added, would pre-
vent any such ugly condition.
Massage" he continued, "fs a restful

known quantity to the laity."
"But about the eye, doctor?"
"As soon as the injury Is received the
hands should go at once to work. No SCI
entiic passes are necessary-just the prim-
ly move the fingers over a given spot. In
ten minutes the 'blueness' is fading, and at
the end of thirty minutes no ~ackne is
visible. 1t Is better and surer treatment far
than any amount Of raw beef, salves or
poultices."
This method does not only apply to the
eye. but is good for any blow or fall which
produces ''blue marks" Should a child
tumble down and limbs or back be hurt,
nothing one can apply will as quietly pre-
vent coagulation of blood or soreness as in
slant massage. The why and wherefore is
gested as the skin is struck. especially in
soft. homeless places of the body. The clots
prevent newer and better blood passing into
the bruised veins, and the transparent skin
reveals the dark condition. Manipulation OF
this skin by the fingers presses the fresh
clotted blood and carries 1t of. thus restor-
