About the undertow.

When swimming in the surf, the feet
must be kept high, SO as to escape the
undertow This is not merely a notion,
nor is it an unusual phenomenon.
Wherever there are waves there is al
undertow, and this is the reason why
When the wave rolls in, it must rol
out again, but it cannot go the way il
came, because there is another wave be
hind it, SO it simply slides out under
meath the newcomer and forms an IN
dertow, so that ON the seashore the toy
water floats one in and the underwater
floats one out. Therefore swim as higf
as possible, so as to get the full benefit
Of the shoreward wave and keep higf
until you are actually ashore and car
fasten your hands i'll the sand OF the
beach, otherwise you are not safe.

Hall Seeks Middleweight Honors.

There seems to be no doubt that Jim
Hall has gone to work in earnest to
capture the middleweight champion
ship. He says that is his proper class
and that he will not enter any more
heavyweight contests. Hall has selected
training quarters at Cambridgeboro,
Pa. and will condition himself there
from now until Sept. /. On that date
he will issue challenge to fight any
man in the world for the middleweight
honors. This undoubtedly means that
he desires to take on eKid' Mccoy.

Hurnbugging the Public.


There is quite clever application
of an old toy at present amazing
the residents of the lower east side and
making a small fortune for the lucky
possessors of the secret. The K ray has
caused it. The startling announcement
on several push carts rugged up with
some odd looking tubes that a peep by
the K rays at any object through brick
or board may be obtained for l cent
has drawn crowds around them. Your
readers may remember a toy known as
the instrument for looking through a
brick wall'' that was popular 10 or is
years ago. 1t consisted Of a U tube,
about three inches in diameter, whose
ends were turned out. By an inclined
arrangement of four small mirrors, one
placed at the beginning of the upper
bent, one under this, one opposite the
second and the fourth at the last bent,
on top, the reflection of any object on
one mirror would be transmitted to each
successive mirror until it reached the
eye of the observer. Therefore what
ever object was placed i'll the opening Of
the Q could not interfere with the
view Of any little object placed in line
with the bent arms, as the image was
formed inside the tubes. This, however,
is not exactly as it is adjusted on the
carts. To give it an impressive appear

a Woman Who Can Throw Straight.
1t is a popular tradition that a wom-
an cannot throw straight enough to hit
the side of a barn at so PAGES, but a
summer girl on Broadway car did a
great deal to destroy this tradition on
the occasion III question. She was in a
hurry to get to the Thirty fourth street
ferry to catch train. The man with
the transfer tickets was slow and the
Thirty fourth street car was off for the
ferry before the girl reached the cross
ing.
Heyp she shouted. Stop I must

/ The conductor was deaf apparently
The girl had "a small bundle. She was
! 60 feet from the car, and she stepped
shouting. Taking careful aim, she let
the bundle fly at the conductor. 1t
struck him squarely in the back of the
neck. He stopped the car, and, more
over, took the trouble to step into the
street and pick up the bundle. The girl
smiled on him and sweetly said, THANK
you. Itwas then the conductors s move,
and he decided to smile, too, which he
did after collecting four fares and ring

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Francis Trains Hair An Old
Time Fake Revived.
[special Correspondence.l !

lSpeclal correspondence.
Some street car conductors are honest
Perhaps most of them are, but it is none
the less true that there are also some
precious rascals among them. The fail
ure to ''ring up" fares has been pretty
well done away with, except in rare in
stances when a car is overcrowded, for
the conductor can never be sure that
there is no ''spotter' aboard. However,
some of them have other methods of
stealing, as was shown when one was
recently exposed.
A passenger left silver handled UNI
brella on the seat of the car in which
he had been riding. 1t was marked with
his initials. He waited for the same car
next morning and asked the conductor
about it.
"Oh, yes," said the conductor, 81
found it and took it to the stables
When the owner Of the umbrella
called at the stables, he was told that a
man had claimed the umbrella within
an hour after the conductor turned it
in. He described it accurately and gave
name corresponding to the initials on
the handle. His name and address were
entered on book The number he gave
in First avenue is vacant lot. A pri-
yate detective later found the umbrella
in pawnshop.
''This returning of lost property by
conductors is all bluff, he said. "All
he has got to do is to show the property
to friend. The man in the receivers
office cannot refuse to give him the
property if he claims it and describes it
according to rules. The receipts from
the pawnshop are divided, and the con-
ductor establishes d reputation for hon
esty.
Reversing the Usual Order.
Hundreds of stories have been told of
how mans hair has turned white in
night as the result of fright, while the
anecdotes which deal with the working
Of the metamorphosis within month
as the result of great mental worry or
physical suffering run well up into the
thousands. 1t is therefore rather in the
nature of a reversal of the usual order
for a fellows hair to voluntarily return
to its normal color after having been
white for many years. And yet that is
what has happened to George Francis
Train, the venerable and epigrammatic
philosopher Of Madison square and uni
versal friend and fayorite of the chill
dren who frequent that spot every pleas
ant afternoon. Still, Train is nothing if
not unique. This is what he said of his
latest experience to an intimate ac-
quaintance few evenings ago:
'sMy hair is actually turning black.
1t has been as white as snow for many
years, but 1 found by looking in the
mirror few days ago that some Of the
white hairs were actually black. /
don't know how to account for this
change, unless it is due to the fact that

Mr.. Trains theory is certainly origi-
nal, but since he enunciated it the
number Of hairless uncovered pates
which may be seen about Madison
square has increased perceptibly.

Almost every woman excels in some
simple decorative art. If she cannot
paint, she can embroider. If neither the
brush nor the needle appeals to her. she
can do little amateur poker work or
fire etching. If even that popular work
be a sealed book. she can make some
object of use and ornament it with fancy
stitches. In some way she can put bit
Of herself into her gifts, and when she
has dope that she has made the best pos
sible Offering for friend. Intrinsic
worth is far from being the test to be
applied to gifts made at Christmastide.
The spirit of kindliness that suggests
them, the good fellowship they imply,
the fact they are the embodiment OF the
spirit of "good will toward men," all
make them of value, and often the sim
plest becomes the best because of the
love that prompted it, the thought and
consideration involved or even its per-
feet fitness.
This year, when hard times have
made money scarce, there seems an adj
ditional reason for the manufacture OF
| gifts. No one likes to feel that his or her
friend has put strain upon himself or her
self in order to send a greeting on Christ
mas morn. If. however, that greeting
can come without any such thought in

peace and satisfaction. There fingers

choose is az long as the individual in
genuity allows and is limited only by
ones own powers.
If the friend in question be house
