The Philosophy OF skating.

Considerable time aud ingenuity has
been expended this year in the effort to
produce form of skate which COM
bine lightnGs !, and convenience OF ar
rangement with great speed. The scien-
tific principle involved in this work is
far more complex than Is generally
supposed. and makes very interesting
study. Speed in skating is of course
attained by the proper application Of
every particle Of motive power. When
the skater strikes out with his foot he
does not, however, as is generally sup
posed, obtain momentum from the
broadside pressure of the skate on the
ice. The momentum is gained by
gradual and taperiug pressure which
commences at the head of the skate,
since 1t it here that the freshest and
strongest force is applied. 1t will be
seen that the momentum is increased,
therefore, by the pressure exeited stead
lily aud firmly outward from the heel
of the skate to the extreme tee. The
proper way to attain great speed is to
strife out each foot as close to the other
as possible, to continue the stroke up to
the toe, and when once the extreme
motive power is passed, to got the other
fost in position as quickly as possible.
The prime factors in producing speed,
it will be seen, are the full pressure on
the ice and the rapid movement of the
legs. Working upon the theory, long
heavy skate has been manufactured,
with blade which extends several in-
ches beyond the fosthold.-Scientif

WINTER NAVIGATION.
The Tine is Coming for 1e Months Naviga,
ton In "A Year

The Tine is Coming for 1e Months Naviga,
ton In Year.
Only few years ago the ferry cross
ings OF Detroit river were regarded as
dangerous. and delays were numerous
and aggravating. Now we never hear Of
freigh, blockades there, the new and
powerful boats run as easily in winter
as in summer and the question of cross
ing by boat is settled. For many years
the crossing OF the straits in winter was
considered chimerical. But how there Is
little more trouble ifany than at Detroit.
Beats run across Lake Michigan all
winter in all kinds of weather, with
little delay, and not only that but boats
carry loaded cars enough for two full
freight trains. Now comes the latest
scheme of navigation the whole year
around, which we tiud in the daily papers
OF Tuesday:
Fred Pabst, the millionaire Mil
waukee brewer, IS having plans prepared
for car ferry to carry so cars, the route
for whichwill be from Milwaukee to con-
nection with the belt line on the Calumet
river, South Chicago. On arrival 10 port
the cars will be run ashore on side tracks
aud delivered to the different railroads
for shipment 20 rail points. The ferry
will! be able to make daily trips between
the two ports If there is that much busi-
ness for 1t, and the profit, will come al
NEST entirely from the southwest, south
and southeast. The saving Will be the
rail haul aud the switching charges
through Chicago. or SIS car on both
On full cargo OF so cars the ferry will
make $3.50 u day as gross profit. The
long delays in Chicago switchyxrds will
be avoided, aud 1t Is said the bJat willbe
OF additional advantage TO Milwaukee in
giving Chicago rats on railroads. The
Pabst ferry will, IL is said, run the year
around, and will be provided with au ice
crushing device"
Such old time Davigators as Capt.
Bouchard and others who haye lived
around the straits all their lives. predict
and have predicted for years that the
time is not far distant waen navigation
will be open for special boats all the year
around between Buffalo and Chicago.
and certainly such boats as the straits
ferries could even now make trips all the
year around, and make better time than
the old caualers did in June.-Ch.boygan

Training the 10y.

The boy whom you wish to see cour-
teous man must be taught to be con-
sderats and courteous to his mother
aud sisters, and to the maid who waits
upon him. He should learn that every
merit worth receiving merits THANK

hurry when he enters the breakfast
room to say GOOD morning" to every
one. He should take of his hat or cap
when he greets a lady 10 the street. aud
never forget 70 do 1t when he enters a
house, or an elevator In which there are
also ladies. A boy trained TO courtesy
on these points will naturally develop

At stated intervals the question of state

hcars much talk on the subject Like every
other question it has two sides. and strange as
1t may appear, the Enterprise believes that
our neighbors Of the sou have several good
reasons for desiring to be separa ted from their
northern friends. There is more to the south
ern counties than we are wont to admit What
they lack in soil and other natural advantages
possessed BY northern and central counties
they mako up in enterprise. There is more
push in a minute In Los Angeles than the is
in San Francisco in week. The soil in the
counties OF Los Angeles an Orange is as OK
cellent and p objective can be found in any
part of the state. Then, why not be fair? We
do not desire to see the great state of Galif3r-
mia divided, but the popnlous counties OF The
northern part OF the $ ate should tote fur with
