HOW TO FALL.
The Wayto Do It Without Danger of Be
ing Hurt.

l0S E1urIs
CFrom the Phila 1elphias Inquirer)
"About the first thing that teach my
pupils, said trainer of circus gym
nasts, lis how to fall; that, you know,
is the secret Of the great head dive
from the roof, which remains up-to-
date the greatest invention in the way
Of gymnastic tricks that the world has
seen"
1T looks almost too perilous to be
interesting" 1 ventured.
But it is not in the least dangerous,
if one only knows how to fall, he con-
tinued. CHOW, if the unframed perfor-
mer should attempt to fall in a net
from any height whatever he would
be almost sure to break some bones.
Should he stretch out his arm to save
himself he would be very likely to
break it in two places. Should he alght
on his heels, he might break his leg, or
more likely pitch forward and break
his jaw. But just fill your lungs with
air and hold them full, double yourself
up into a knot, leaving no limb free,
and fall on the back of your shoulders
just above the shoulder blades. and
you can fall from what height you like
and come to no hurt. This explains the
cannon and catapult tricks. Why, once
we attempted the eatapuit trick in a
hall where the roof was so low that
we had to sink the catapult below the
floor. The gymnast forgot all about
having his net lowered a correspond
ing distance, and when he shot $50 feet
forward and upward at the same time
didn't he come down underneath the
net and land slap-bang IN his Shout
ders on the bare floor? We picked him
up for dead. You may hardly believe
me- but it had only knocked the wind
out of him and shaken him up a bit.
The next night he was performing as
usual. That just shows what the mus
Giles of the shoulders, together with an
elastic cushion of air=in the lungs. will
resist Then, Of course Z in the case of
gymnasts, the muscles become as hard
as iron and furnish a great protection
for the bones"

attitude is a characteristic one. The fe-
male figure at the base symbolizes
Havana" It is executed With much
spirit and strength. The inscriptions
on the pedestal tell that Albear was
born in 1876 and died in 1887, that his
name remains indelibly linked with the
history of the city, and that the monu-
ment is erected by a grateful city to
her illustrious son. A further inscrip-
ton recites that Albear honored the
profession at arms and elevated sol
ence; that, however strongly he strug-
gled, he never soiled his history; that
his works illustrated his life, and that
in the final one, he crowned his glory

complimented Mr.. Brown on his

The sentiments expressed by Mr..
Schenck are just now particularly
popular with the Republicans of

expect from Mr. Signor. he has
been hOnOred for years by the party,

friends are asked In this campaign to
support a ticket that does not in
clude his name, there should be and
ia no doubt III their attitude. That
fact alone shows that the party has
made no mistake In rewarding and
honoring him In the past. His friends

MILLIONS IN SAWDUST.

Now comes an inventor who
promises to make the lumber bust

able as it has ever been before.
He is Victor L. Emerson, of Balti.
more, and his claim is the dis
covery cf commercially practical
method of carbonizing sawdust
and extracting its hydrogen and
by.products. He has conducted a
series OF experiments in one of the
largest mills of Ottawa, Ont, and
the local papers report that his
process raise the value of sawdust
to about $50 ton. From the by.
drogen gas given off during the
carbonizing process, he claims
that city can be lighted at cost
of 10 cents a thousand feet.
It is reported that besides the
large central plant erected for the
experiments just concluded, a
number Of industries using the
product are about to be established
in Ottawa. Among them are iron
and steel smelling works, white
lead manufactures, printers ink
manufactures and calcium carbide
works.
Mr.. Emerson is the inventor Of
4 lumber dry kiln now in extensive
use and owns several other paying
inventions.
IfMr. Emerson's invention will
do what he claims for it, the effect
upon the lumber trade will be
revolutionary. Will it not pay
better to grind timber into saw
dust than to make boards Of it!
Would not $50 q ton for sawdust
soon cause the complete denuda-
ton of our forest lands!
Possibly, however, Mr.. Emerson
claims more for his invention than
81 will accomplish in practice.

The general Of our army, or

head of the army, not in theory.
but in fact, writes Frederic Rem.
ington IN the October Is number
Of Harper's Weekly, if VIZ do not
want a repetition of the working
of our army during the war just
over, which brought US nothing
but disappointment, nothing to be
proud of, except the fighting ability
of the line officers and the enlisted
men. The operations ofthe navy,
on the other hand, have been
characterized by straightforward
professional work on the part of
every one connected with the Navy
Department. Every possible de-
tail seems to have been through
out, every want anticipated, and
the explanation of this is that the
Navy Department is not in the
hands of politicians-the War De-
partment is, and if We wish effec.
tive work done by our army we
must take it out of politics.
