able to make dozen miles day with
out undue fatigue. Practice will do as
much towards making crawling easy as
it will when directed towards other
feats requiring muscular exertion.
Their feet will be held up from the
ground by leather strap and spring
connecting the heel Of the shoes with
the leg near the body. This will re-
lieye the leg muscles OF the necessity of
supporting the feet, and the spring is
intended to prevent undue jerking
when in motion. The knees will be
protected by pneumatic bags covered
on top with chamois skin, and on the
bottom with sole leather to make them
durable. The arms will be incased in
a sort Of boot, which will reach to the
shoulder Pneumatic pads will also
protect the hands and save them from
contact with the ground.

Fortunes from the Sea.

But the great romance in this connec-
ton lies with the professional divers.
One of the most extraordinary instances
of a fortune found in the sea concerned
the wreck of the Spanish treasure ship
AIfonzo MI, which was sunk Off Point
Gando, Grand Canary. A SINCE diver,
David Tester, employed by the we'll
known diving experts, {. Il. Helnke q
Co.. of Great Portland street recovered
Spanish gold coin of the estimated
value of 100000. The depth from
which this specie was recovered was
twenty-six and two-thilds fathoms, or
100 feet. y
One of the most difficult operations
ever performed by diver was the re-
covering of the treasure sunk in the
Malabar off Gale. On this occasion the
large iron plates, half an inch thick,
had to be cut away from the mailroom,
and then the diver had to work through
nine feet of sand. The whole Of the
specie on board of this vessel-upWard
of 81 500, OOO-Was saved, as much as
$4,000 having been got out in one day.
1t is an interesting fact that from
time to time expeditions have been fit
ted out and companies formed with the
sole intention of searching for buried
treasure beneath the sea. Again and
again have expeditions left New York
and San Francisco in the certainty Of
recovering tons of bullion sunk off the
Brazilian coast, or lying undisturbed
in the mud of the Rio de la Plata. 1t is.
however, an every day occurrence for
divers to be sent from the Great Port
land street establishment to the Aus
tralian coasts to fish for pearls; and.
likewise. to all parts of the world-or
rather, to all parts Of the ocean-Where
sunken vessels are to be entered. and
their valuable cargoes recovered.
At the end of 1885 the large steamer
Indus, belonging to the p. and O. Com
pany, sank off Trincomalee, having on
board very valuable East India cargo.

Two Young Men VIII "Hand and Knee"
Tt Across the Continent.
To crawl across the continent is the
feat two young California athletes will
attempt. Early in February, 1897, they
will set out from San Francisco on all
tours and move only as quadrupeds I'M
til they reach New York city. Messrs.
J. G. Barry and p. Kroman. two mem
bers Of the Crescent Athletic Club, of
Berkeley, CAL, are the young men.
For several weeks they have been
thinking over the idea. and they are
now busy perfecting their plans and
making arrangements. After leaving
San Francisco the crawling men will
visit Sacramento, Reno, Ogden, Salt
Lake, Denver, Topeka, Kansas City,
st. Louis, Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland.
Pittsburg, Philadelphia and Trenton be-
fore reaching New York. The young
men say, after having made careful
computations. that they believe they
can cover the 5000 miles in ten months.
This would be an average of ten miles
to be crawled each day, rain or shine.
AS they intend to make many stops,
and give entertainments in many of
the towns, the journey may occupy
fourteen or fifteen months.
Before starting the young men will
engage in preliminary training, and
thereby accustom themselves to the
unusual method of locomotion. From
now until September they will crawl a
certain distance daily, and when they
start from San Francisco they will be

GLASS AND NAILS DEFIED.

A Pneumatic Tire Has Been Found
Which Cannot Be Punctured.
According to London weekly which
is usually conservative in its utter
ances a pneumatic has at last been
found which cannot be punctured. 1t
is claimed that a wheel equipped with
this continuance has been ridden re-
peatedly over nails, broken glass, tacks,
ETC., without sustaining apparent in
jury. According to the London publica-
ton, the secret of this new tire is said
to be that its tread, or actual surface
contact with the ground, is but half an
inch in width, whereas an ordinary
tire spreads on the road to an inch or
more. It would be interesting to know
whether the narrower surface contact
diminishes the speed, and at first
glance it would seem that it would di-
minish it.

An appeal to the methods Of chance
in any disagreement or perplexity is a
foolish thing. II one is sure of point
he should stick to it, no doubt; or if
he is willing-as one should always be

it up to another, it is far more graceful
and satisfactory to give it up outright.

that the tire stands further out from
the rim of the wheel than any other
pneumatic tire; consequently, there is
more air space under the sides. Even

in regard 10 the matter OF right OF way

about the matter, Mr.. Irwin said that
if such a report was made TO the
House the transaction could be consid-
cred at an end. The President met
with Mr.. Irwin and both were very
much in favor of getting some land
along the seashore for public bathing
purposes. Mr.. Irwin said that he
would help the Government in the
purchase of certain land which is now

There's two sides to the
question. Prices on depend
able goods were never SO low
| as noW-and here. Of the
VagarieS of trash, we keep
no tally; but certainly poor
goods are not to be cOESid-
cred when the best goods
are selling in many cases at
half what you've been used
to paying for them.
You never in your life
heard of Samian ware selling
as cheap as we offer it. Fancy
a handsomely decorated Sa-
milan tea pot for g half dol
lar. A tea pot that is good
for service and is an Orna-
ment for any table. In this
ware we have all sorts of
things; chocolate pots, coffee
pots, tobacco jars, match
boxes and stands for the tea
pots Samian ware is new
here and you will like it.
Another thing you know
as Cameo ware, but which is
really WedgeWood. This is
in flower pots, flower vases,
jugs, cups and sauCers and ash
trays. These are in blue and
white and black and white.
Another thing that will be
found of eStimable value to-
the housewife is an Edgar

1t is the best crater you ever

Especial thanks are due to Mrs. Maria
Kahea, who personally labored as well
as superintendent the rather cumber-

cookery, but she, as we'll as all the la
dies who so kindly assisted in waiting
or the tables, we know, felt a personal
interest in thessuccess of the affair as
a help to wOman'S work.
The patronage accorded the Ha-
waifan table calls for the Iiveliest graf
itude from all concerned, and the man
agement can only regret that the limit
ed space between tables prevented our
generous patrons from being as well
served as the ladies were only too anx-
ious to do.
