If Capt, Sverdrups account OF the
voyage of Nansen's ship, the Fran, is
correct, there will be no lack of volun-
teers for service when the Fran is
ready to start again for the north pole.
Capt Sverdrup says "the principal
work was to take regular observations,
sleep and eat There's program
that appeals to the average man. Who
wouldn't be willing to spend few
months or more in that sort of an en-
terprise? Almost anybody in these hard
times, even those who at the present
moment are actively engaged in heroic
ally saving their country, would jump
at chance to take regular observa-
lions, sleep and eat. For, after all, that
is about what life amounts to, when
you look at it from the latter end and
reckon up it's value.

The outcome of the yacht race at To-
ledO, SO far from discouraging Ameri-
can yachtsmen, ought to put them on
their mettle, with firm determination
to succeed next time The Vencedor's
two defeats, while apparently decisive,
were not disastrous nor humiliatlng.
In the first race, which was called off
on account of the failure to travel the
course in the specified time, the Chicago
boat made but a poor showing, and in
the contest of Tuesday she was badly
beaten in light and fluky wind. This
is no surprise, for it has been under
stood all along that the Canada was the
better boat under such conditions. A
fair-weather boat, taking the water
easily and carrying an ample spread OF
canvas, she does her best work in a
| wind before which the American vessel
is unable to attain any considerable
speed. The Vencedor Wednesday show
ed several points of superiority, and had
it not been for the heavy handicap
placed upon her would have won, her
actual time over the course being less
than that of the Canada. She was not,
however, sufficiently faster than the
Canada to overcome her handicap and
the trophy goes across the border. 1t
is still hard to say whether the Ven
cedor might not have been better han
died in the first race, where she was
so badly defeated. She seems to have
been sailed with fairly good judgment.
In both cases, however, it has been
made evident that, good as she is, Ven
cedor is not good enough If the Ameri-
cans are to maintain their superiority
on the lakes, as they have on the At
lantic, they must make faster boat.
Now that the prize has gone to Canada,
lne American yachtsmen and builders
should bend their efforts in all honest
rivalry to surpass their opponents over
the border. In the course of Il few years
this annual struggle will have so awak
ened patriotic sentiment on both sides
that every race will be undertaken with
enthusiasm and fought for with the ut
most energy. This country has the es~
tablished reputation for making boats
which are fast and seaworthy and not
mere Swimming dishes. Let the lake
yachtsmen take heart and go to work
to uphold that reputation.

half Of the stories told are true. For
these air and water and sunshine get

the church. The charitably inclined
contribute sufficient to pay the expenses
of the famous water cure.
When Sebastian Kneipp started in
life at Stefansreid, on May q, 1921, 1t
was with a frail body, and before he
had finished school he was told by his
physician that he would die with con-
sumption before he was 80 years old.
His father caused him to become
weaver, in which trade he continued
until he reached his majority, when he
turned to the church and to medicine.
He studied theology and himself. and
concluded he could remove his bodily
ailments. In 1S4S he began self-treat-
ment, on lines laid down by him, with
the result of restoring himself to per-
feet health.
Then he began treating the country
folk about him, and SO great was his
success that his reputation began to ex-
tend, and many persons came from far
and near to take his treatment. For
thirty years he continued his successful
work, without pay, and then wrote his
book, entitled "My Water Cure which
introduced him to the entire world.
During these years he attended to all
patients personally, and gave them
baths with his own hands, in the little
building, now become historic, and
known as the "Washing Kitchen" Then
so great were the demands on the time

their feet wet. The bottom of the river
has been dug out in many places by
the action of the water, forming large
potholes, and when the river becomes
dry these holes are filed with trout,
which are left stranded. At such
times it is common occurrence to see
men and boys knocking the fish on the
head with clubs. There are many ira

among the Indians here. but the real

just above where she was standing.
Miss Sears saw the reptile as it struck
at her. 1t was too late to jump back.
and the arm that she had thrown up
ward caught the blow. 1t saved her
face from injury, and the balloon
sleeves Of her waist almost baff1ed the
snake. But the strike of the poisonous
reptile was a vigorous one. The sharp
teeth and fangs tore through the light
cloth and hooked in the whalebone
stays. AS the reptiles weight drag
ged it down, it tore the sleeve and the
fangs scratched along the skin from
shoulder to elbow. The incisions, how
ever, were not deep, and the deadly
poison, it is believed, did not enter the
victims veins.
At Miss Sears feet was a large stone.
She was still bending over when the
snake struck her. She picked up the
stone and crushed the snakes head be-
fore it could gather itself for another
strike. When she had bravely done
this without uttering scream, her
courage vanished. She gave one cry
and fell fainting across the dead snake.

Some eastern people. whose BUSH

Some eastern people. whose business
it is to write and talk about art, are
again worrying over the familiar sub
ject of the cupidity of foreign actors
and singers. They point out that the
inspiration which leads Nine. Bern
hardt to sob and shrek OH the stage
does not blind her to the seductive
beauties of a check, and that Nine.
Calve would not fall twice Il week upon
the stage. with the cold damp of death
upon her brow. if there were any doubt
of receiving her comfortable allowance
of 81 200 from the management at the
close of the performance. Not only do
the illustrious tragedianS and singers
demand contracts for the payment Of
their salaries, but lately some of them
the most inspired and ethereal of the
lot-have caused to be inserted in these
contracts clause that next year they
shall be paid in gold. Which may all
go to show a mercenary nature; but ac-
tresSes and actors and piano thumpers
are not the only people who make it Il
business policy to take all they can get.
The rule of trade, as Il New York mill
ionaire put it, is to buy cheap and sell
as dear as you can. The foreign art
lists sell dear, and, while it may not
eXalt their calling in the minds of the
public, they are doing what would be
done by many of their critics if they
had the chance. The whole trouble
arises from the misconception which
supposes that an artist is a spiritual
minded being. with his head perpetual
ly humping the stars and his thoughts
far and away above the gross question
Of dollars. This idea is relic of the
belief that man known as genius"
merely has to sit down in trance and
let the genius trickle through his fin
gers. The truth is that. at the pres
ent time. most artists. actors. singers,
poets and authors work deliberately
and for well-known purpose, fame
being part of their object and money
being another. And there is nothing to
show that William Shakespeare did not
have the same views or would have
neglected to take high reward for
play if he could get it in place of
poor one. The world has heard alto
gether too much f1ub-dub about genius

A Valuable Derelict.

the Rock Terrace of st. Johns, N. B.,
which left Philadelphia for Hiogo.
Japan, laden with oil and phosphates
worth some f25.OOO. When near the
Philippines she became apparently un-
seaworthy and, though the captain did
all he could to persuade the crew to re-
main, they insisted on abandoning her,
and he went with them The under
writer's, being satisfied that she was in
a hopeless state, and had probably
foundered within a few hours of her
desertion, paid the owners the amount
of the insurance. Judge of their as
constituent when. more than wear af
forwards, they heard that the Rock
Terrace with no one aboard had come
sailing ashore among the Gilbert ISL
ands. where the natives had taken DOS
session OF her and promptly cleared
out her cargo, finding that she had only
a few inches of water in her hold.
Phosphates are not in much demand
among the Gilbert islanders. the soil
being somewhat embarrassingly pro-
ductive, but the artificial manure was
soon put to its proper uses with en-
couraging results on the cultivated
patches. The oil was more appreciat-
ed, and it had nearly all been distrib-
uted and used before the phosphates
had given any sign of improving the
quality of the crops.-Leisure Hour.

supported by charity, takes the charge
of the cure.
FIR. Kneipps fame had reached Rome,
and two years ago the Pope sent for
him to visit and minister to his all
ments, which arose from q disordered
stomach. The priest obeyed and the
Pope was restored to health.
From the humble beginning the cure
is now all immense institution, with a
great five-story sanitarium, and all con-
veniences, with twelve physicians in
charge ministering to the needs of 200
patients at time. These patients come
from all parts of the earth, and when
they return home they carry the teach
ings of the institution with them.
FIR. Kneipp sees every patient and
prescribes for him without asking ques-
lions, or making examination other
than seeing his face. He seems to know
from the patients appearance what is
necessary.
The cures are all worked by the appli-
cation of water, air and sunshine. Ev-
erything is done gently and gradually
Baths are given to portion of the
body at a time. Short walks are pre-
scribed first. Clothing of open texture
to admit air and sunshine is worn, and
feet and legs are only partially barred at
first. Sandals to protect the soles from
rough roads, and covering about one
half of the feet. are first worn. Then,
after few days, the patient can wear
simply sole with strap to hold it in
place. And then he can go with bare
feet. and after a while wade in snow
with beneficial effect.
No medicine is prescribed other than
simple herb teas. No alcohol is allowed
to patients. and but little meat. Other
than this, there is no limit to plain food.
