With fifty gold and silver medals to her
credit Miss Elaine Golding, years old,
claims to be the champion swimmer OF her
ago for distance and speed in this country.
She has lowered the pretenslons OF all her
rivals in the east and since no one has
turned up from the far west or foreign coun-
tries to challenge her, she believes herself
supreme in her class.
Miss Elaine lives in Brooklyn in the
winter and in the water during the summer
From May until October she seldom wears
anything but bathing s0it, cut in manner
to best display her dimpled knees and
elbows. 81 really fear that I am growing
TOO stout" she connded to the interviewer
who found her punching a bag which she
could barely reach in a girls gymnasium at
Bath Beach the other day, "and you know
l must always keep myself in form"
In the summer Miss Golding is one OF the
lions on the Long Island beach, and is al
ways sure of large crowd Of spectators
when going through her performances. The
art OF swimming is TO her inherited, as both
her sister and brother are champions. and
when they tumbled her into the water the
first time she struck out naturally without
any gurgle or hounderng.
II matters not TO her If the depth be three
feet or thirty, for she seldom rests for an
| hour at time excepting, perhaps, 10 make
dive. In this she is accomplished, and
/ the leap of twenty-fy feet from the pier
| head on, is play for her.
! Miss Elaine is particularly proficient a
swimming on her side with the overland
stroke. and with this propulsion her little
white. plump body shoots through the water
as though without any resistance. He

exhibitions at Paris next year and Incl

An Interesting Find of Coins.

The house at Falkirk, Scotland, in which Prince Charlie slept before the historic battle of 1746 was recently re moved The pulling down of the structure resulted in an interesting find of coins. mostly belonging to the reign Of George III. The most interesting is one dated 1791, bearing on one side the arms of the city of Edinburgh and the inscription, Edinburgh halfpenny," and on the other a representation of St. Andrew, the Scottish thistle and the motto.

Movements to Turn Colorado Region
 Into National Park.
 From the Denver Republican: AS result of a meeting held recently at the residence of Henry Van Kleeck. a bill making the cliff dwellings region in the southwestern part of Colorado national park will in all probability be introduced at the next convention of congress. Congressman John F. Shaf- roth. Judge George T. Sumner, Booth Malone and Dr. Camden M Cobern, with the host, constituted the meeting. Congressman Shafroth went over the details of passing such bill, and the other men present, all Of whom have been on the ground, recapitulated all they personally gathered concerning the interesting ruins below Du4 4ango Granting that the people living in the agricultural country contiguous to the cliff dwellings made no objections to the settin aside of the land cor ain- ing these prehistoric buildings, and he had received almost an assurance that they would not, MT. Shafreth saw no impeachment in the way of passing the bill. Maps and pictures Of the ground and ruins were carefully gone over and studied While the dimensions Of the area were not specified, it is thought that fifteen miles, running northeast and southv 9st, by four or five miles wide, vii. include the most important ground without infringing on any pre- cious minerals or agricultural land. Mir. shafroth made copious notes to take with him to Washington and will work for the passage of the bill. He advises that no appropriation be asked for in the first measure. It will be sought to make some provision for the care-tak- ing of the ruins Excavations must be made scientifically and will be restrict ed by license. MT. Shafroth will try to enlist the interest of the Smithsonian institution. The matter will be pushed with all possible speed. At the present time large exploring n"-s.' 9. of 100 members each are being organized one in San Francisco and one in the east-to visit the Maneos canyon and excavate in the ruins.

It's Peculiar Advantages for Use in Au-
 tomobles.
 The latest novelty in automobiles is one propelled by carbonic acid, the in- yention of c. D. P. Gibson of Jersey City. Describing the model now in op- eration: Inside the box, toward the rear. is an engine weighing only thir- ty-six pounds, and having cylinders whose diameter is one and seven efghths. with a=foar-inch stroke. On either side of it, and reaching length wise in the box, are arranged flasks. OF cartridges" of liquid carbonie acid. coupled to each other and 10 a slender tube that feeds the engine. By means which Mir. Gibson does not yet describe, the fluid is vaporized and expanded in the cylinders. A working pressure of from 1000 pounds upward is thus made available. The crank transmits it's mo- ton by sprocket and chain to the rear axle Of the wagon without any inter- mediate shaft or gear. The sproeket on the crank shaft has nine teeth, and that on the wagon axle Ca sixteen-ineh sproekeD has twenty nine The driv- CTS are thirty-eight-inch wheels. With the simple mechanism here described MT. Gibson is able to run his wagon up the most astonishing grades. He climbs those appalling hills for which New Jersey is famous, and believes he can go where no gasoline motor can follow. He takes his wagon through deep, dry sand, too, where it would be almost impossible to take any other self-propelled carriage Without the earbonie acid fiasks and engine the carriage which he showed to a report CT the other day would weigh nearly 400 pounds. The fiasks, contents and engine added about 400 pounds more Some 500 or 500 pounds of human freight have been put into the wagon on occasions. 4 total load that is scarcely less than 400 pounds has thus been moved ID hiI and down with the utmost ease.-New York Tribune

Girl swims Mile in Remarkably Fac,
 Time.


 Chicago Chronicles: Little six-year- old May Huhn proved herself one as the greatest juvenile swimmers in tho7 world at the north side natatorium She swam a mile in 1:07:17 3-5. The girl made worlds record, for no cbild has ever accomplished the feat before in such short time. The child is not large for her age, nor does she seem to have muscles developed to much greater extent than other girls as young as she, but it is the opinion of all that if she keeps at the game she will in time be one Of the greatest fe- male swimmers iii the world. George Gaidzik lowered another worlds mark for boys under 16 years old when he swan two miles in 1:12:15. The record was formerly held by Ralph Uhlendorf. who made the same dis tance in 1:f4:293-5. Other good per- formances by juveniles were as follows: Walter Horn, 12 years old. two miles inf.25:54; Lottie Mayer, F years old. two miles in 1.40; Charles Arens, Il years old, one and a half miles in 1:13:54: Arthur Gaidzik, F years old. one and half miles in 1: 15, and Robt ert Arens, 9 years old, one and a half miles in 1:35.

ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
rhia Is the Field of a Nnturalist's
 Work.

Work.
 Theodore Holm, a Dane, for many years botanist in the National Museum at Washington, concerns himself only with things above the clouds. He makes it his business to probe into the mysteries of nature in the remote heights of the earth How plants and lichens grow in rigorous cIimes, on the windy rocks of the snoW-eapped mountains and in the arctic circle is the special object of his research, and the comparison between plants at the poles and these on the tops of peaks is his special delight. His search for in formation has carried him into all parts of the world. Three times he has gone into the arctic circle, many times to Greenland and Iceland, ana times without number to the North cape and the Lofoten islands He has climbed the Norwegian mountains and has strange things to tell about the plants that grow on our own Pike's peak. T have for a long time been studying the subject of arctic flora, said MT. Holm at the Grand Central hotel, and during nay studies have been in great many parts of the globe. On several occasions I have been a member of polar expeditions. In 1S82-3 I was with the Danish ship Dymphna, which took part in the in- ternational polar expedition, in which you will remember Gen, Greeley took part. Andre Hangaad was our captain, and for two years We drifted about the polar seas, caught in the ice foes. The Dutch ship Varna, which We met, kept as company, sank at the end of the second year, but we saved the crew. I began then, as the agent of the Danish government, to pursue the studies Of cifcumpolar botany, and since then I have followed the work in Greenland, Iceland. .Ameriea-in fact, all over the world. What has most interested me has been the comparison of plants found in the polar regions with those found on the mountain tops. My work lies wholly above the timber line, and you will be surprised to see how many plants are to be found there. There are at least twenty species of towering herbs on the rocky and snow covered peaks. some of wonderful beauty and color. None of them grow ,, higher than an inch and most are only half an inch high, but they are perfect i in their minuteness and Of the most vivid hues. There is the Arctic pink and the Arctic dryas, both of exquisite shade and form. The Arctic poppy is another flower worth hunting for on the treeless slopes, and so is the Arctic willow. The little lycapod is a series of plant that is found in both high and low places. It is said by most bot anists not to grow higher than 5000 feet. have found it on the top of Pike's peak, 14,000 feet There it is half an inch high In Florida it grows eight inches tall. There is a miniature clover also to be found above the tim- Der line, and flower resembling the forget-me-not, so you see that the rocks which you are used to consid- enng barren are by no means so to one who has the eyes to look for the beauties that are there Denver Re 1 publican.

HOW CLOVES ARE GATHERED.
More Used in America Than Any other

More Used In America Than Any Other
 Country.
 More cloves are said to be used in America than in any other country, England and France following in the order named. In this country and in Great Britain they are used almost wholly as a condiment. bIt in France they are used largely in the manufae fure of certain 1iqueurs. To some de- gree they are employed in medicine for their tonic properties. The name eloVe is from the French clon, meaning nail. The tree is an evergreen. grow ing from forty to fifty feet nigh, with large, oblong leaves and crimson flow CTS at the end of small branches in clusters of from ten to twenty. The tree belongs to the same family as the guava, the pomegranate and the rose apple. The cloves are at first white then light green, and at the time of gathering bright red Pieces of white cloth are spread under the trees at the harvesting time, and the branches are beaten gently with bamboo sticks until the cloves drop. They are dried in the sun, being tossed about daily until they attain the rich dark color which proclaims them ready for ship ment A clove tree bears at the age of about ten years, and continues un- til it reaches the age Of 75 years. There are two crops year, one in June and the other in December. Hot weather is favorable to the crop. although a little fog is said to improve the flavor New York Press.
