on the part of the abdominal muscles.
Catch the water firmly with the
blades slightly inclined in. Pull the
stroke through from beginning TO

the water with a snap, and out at
right angles to it. Don't hang when
the stroke is finished. Drop the
hands quickly. Shoot the arms for

follow on the recover, at first quickly,
but gradually decreasing in speed as

the blades in the water when they are

with straight arms until the should

intended to carry them. Never
buckle or slide up TO meet the han

and 'kinking' the back. Bend from

blades as close to the water as practi-

Is it true, says the Westminster
Gazette, that our old ram battle ships
are but old inventions in new forms ?
1t looks like it. Someone has I'M
earthed a curious announcement
which appeared in the Mercurius
Politicus'' for December 6, 1653-that
is, 240 years ago-to the effect, as
stated by the Dundee Advertiser, that
"the famous monster called a ship,
built at Rotterdam by a French en-
gineer, is now launched" In a des-
cription of the vessel it's capabilities
are thus detailed:
81. To sail by certain instruments
and wheels without masts and sails)
as swift as the moon, or at least 80
miles every hour. 2. Both ends are
made alike, and the ship can be stop
ped at pleasure and turned as easily
as a bird can turn. 3. In time of war
it can, with one bounce, make a hole
under water in the greatest man Of
war as big as a table, and in an hours
time will be able to sink Is or Is ships,
and in three or four hours will destroy
a whole fleet. 4. She will be able to
go to the East Indies and back again
in eight or nine weeks. 5. She may
be used to kill whales in Greenland,
so that 100 ships may be laden in IA
days. 6. She may be used to break
down any pier or wooden work with
great ease"
A wonderful monster" this must
have been. What, one is curious to
know, was her fate?

The photographic Office at San
Francisco is arranging another plan
to secure copies of the old log-books
of vessels that have for years been
sailing the North Pacific ocean.
Many shipowners have bundles of
such log-books stored away in their
Offices. Those old dust covered
log-books would be of great service
to the photographic Office, and
eventually be of great assistance to
masters of vessels at sea.

To You
The Most important

Matter demanding attention at this
season is the condition of your blood.
Your health depends upon it, for as
the quality and quantity of the blood
vary, you are better or worse.
The blood conveys all the clements
whichgo to make up the organs. nerves
and tissues of the body. and carries
away all dissolved. useless material.
Every bone. muscle NERVE and tissue,
lives upon what the blood feeds to it.
The whole world knows that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the standard remedy
for making pure blood.

and by which it effects marvellous
cures even when other preparations
fail. When you buy your spring medi.
