TO LEAR. TO SWIM.

A Plan to Help Timid Women to Keep
\ Loaf.
New York Journal.
A novel device, which, it is said, Will
revoluuon.ze the prevailing method OF
swimming. has just been patented by
William Luce, Of Nehalem, Tillamook
county. Ore. The inventor claims that
his device cantains a number Of i'm
provemeuts over any of its p~edeces-
s0rs.
lIr. Luce has followed nature in
working out the main principle II his
patent and has copied the web loot oil
The duck : clOselyas possible in forming
The propelling element Of the apparatus.
Il Is claimed for the appliance that u
will be especially useful 10 women as
but few OF them ever learn the trlck Oh
kicking out properly, and, therefore are
unable 10 sustain themselves in the wa
ter for any considerable length OF Jlme'
or 20 swim long distances.
The contrivance Is quite simple, con-
sisting Of a frame Of strong wire, 10
viii ch is added an attachment when
looks like the foot of mammoth duck.
This web-like portion OF the device Is
made of oiled six, or some other Ilght
waterproof material and IS securely
stitched on strong wire RIBS.
The frame to which the web % "f-
-ached is also made of wire and Is made
10 conform 70 the shape OF the leg.
This frame has at the bottom place o.
wire. which serves as sjircup, on which
the sole of the foot rests. The upper
portion is then fitted TO the outside Of
The Leg. extending nearly 10 the knee,
ard is secured by two STRAPS, me en-
circling the leg at the ankle and the
other lust above the calf. BY having
the straps loose, one may step into the
device with as much ease as into a
D9ir of trousers. the straps being ad-
iusted afterward The WeO structure
Is Joined 20 the frame ar point be-
tween the ankle and the largest part or
the calf. on the outside. In ord2r TO
make the apparatus comfortable the
frame may be padded in any way that
might suggest itself TO the welTer.
on entering the water the web strIc-
ture lies folded against the outside Of
the leg. When the swimmer assumes a
horizontal position. strikes out with his
arms and kicks out with his legs. the re-
s'stance of the water opens the web
structure and gives the swimmer
great deal of added impetus. The web
is so constructed that t can open just
10 The point where its entire surface is
exposed 20 the water This point s
reached when the swimmers less are
extended behind him at full length.
When the swimmer draws his knees
under him. preparatory TO taking an
other stroke. the resistance Of the Va
ter causes the web structure to close
Ike its model. the ducks foot.
To those who, through timidity or
improper coaching. have been unable
to learn 70 swim. the device Is said TO
be OF great service. The additional
sustaining power given by the web
structure when extended gives the nov
ice confidence. and he soon finds HIM
self master Of the knack OF keeping
himself a1Oat.
