THE DELTOID MUSCLE.
1t Plays Prominent Part in the
TailOr's Business.

eft is a rare thing" said the talking man,
ito find a merchant tailor who can get
perfect fit in the clothes he makes. 30
rare In fact that L have sometimes thousnt
that tailors, of all artisans, knew least
how to do their work right Yet the tai
lor or the cutter rather, is not always TO
blame. for a perfectly cut garment may De
often set askew by careless MAKER VINO
by a crooked seam or a slight departure
from the line set for his needle may throw
the whole thing out of plumb. SUI, soou
tailor ought to know when garment hts'
and should either be able to correct its I'M
fitness or not let it leave the shop. Speak
ing of the cutting part, remember an Incl
dent that occurred once at convention OF
cutters held in Cincinnati The subject TOR
discussion was the cutting and fitting OF
garments, and a testy old Scotchman had
the floor. He said in effect that II a coat
were cut to set right upon the deltoid
muscle that the wearer would always ind
it comfortable and well fitting.
"In fact said he, the detoid muscle
determines the fit of a coat
Will the gentleman state what and
where the deltoid muscle is?' asked cutter
on the other side of the chamber
1.-The Scotchman turned on him sharply.
Sir he said. angrily. do you claim to
be cutter and not know where the deltoid
muscle Is located? Don't you know, sir,
that knowledge of the human anatomy is
as important to the tailor 1t is to the
surgeon? Do you expect to cut garment
to fit an object whose every line and curve
you do not know? You might as well try
to fit a plug to a hole without knowing the
size of the hole No, sir, the gentleman
will not state what and where the deltoid
muscle Is. 1t is your duty, sir. to know
the deltoid muscle; not mine to instruct
you
1.-THE discussion ended there. simply be-
cause there was nobody present to carry
it on. for don't believe man in the place
exrept the old fellow knew ANYTHING about
deltoid muscles. I know I didn't, but as
l got to dictionary l looked it up.
Later I gave the matter some study and
found that the Scotchman was right"

AN ENVELOPE OF AIR.
Some Proofs That Moving Train
Carries One With 1t.

Sarr1eS One with 1t.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat
THE theory that moving train carries
along an envelope Of air is very interest
Ing said the engineer, land believe there
Is good deal Of truth In 1t. 1 first had
my attention attracted to the subject by a
curious incident that happened several
years ago at crossing near Birmingham,
Ala, where trains pass twice a day at a
speed OF about forty miles an hour. The
tracks are seven feet apart, and there
would seem to be ample room to stand be-
tween them In perfect safety. One after
noon small fox terrier dog, belonging to
section boss, was asleep in the middle
space and woke up just as the trains
closed in from each side. There was a bar
rel on the ground near by, and the dog. in
his fright. jumped on top Of It, That pos-
sibly brought him into one of the rushing
envelopes Of air; at any rate he was wh:rled
off his feet and thrown clear to the roof
of the opposite car where he was subse-
quently found damned against a venti-
lator chimney with injury expect a
broken leg. How in the world he ever
made such journey and escaped alive is
a mystery. unless his fall was deadened by
a cushion of air. Apropos of atmospheric
pressure 1t Is a well-known fact that there
Is a vortex space or zone of suction d.
rectly behind any rapidly moving train
happening that took place some time ago
on the Southern Pacific. While the Cali
fornia-bound express was going through
western Arizona at clipping gait a pas
senger who was on the verge of the jim
Jams rushed out to the rear platform

was wearing very long linen buster, and
a muscular tourist who happened to be
on the platform at the time grabbed it
by the tails as it sailed by and yelled for
help. When some of the others ran to his
assistance they found the lunatic stretched
straight out in the air behind the platform,
bowling like Comanche. but safely anchor
ed by his buster, which had turned inside out
and caught him at the shoulders The
muscular gentleman was hanging on for
dear life. but had it not been for the fact
that the would-be suicide was virtually sus-
tanned and carried along by the suction Of
the vortex space, something would certain
ly have given way: They reeled the man
in like a kite. and he promised to be good

The TuEela River,


fUm Curreut LItefatufe,
The name of the river Tugela, which fs
pronounced by the Kaff1rs Chew-gela, is de-
rived from the native sources, ''tueela"
meaning Startling" in the Zulu language.
The river is over 200 miles long and divides
Natal, which is lozenge-shaped, into two
unequal parts. the larger of which lies to
the south Of the Startling river. 1t rises on
the eastern flank of Mont aux Sources. a
peak N ''the Berg" II 600 feet high, and
descends In thin streak down precipitous
cliffs--a sheer fall of 1900 feet into the
plains below. 1t is one of the most pic
turesque rivers In the world; canons, dark
gorges, rapids and wild ravines mark its
course from start to finishIovely scenery
which Is proving such q source of trouble
to British troops In the present campaign.

In cultivating this Knowledge the

the ideal.
First, the ideal must be raised: second
Is, the obligation of following the ideal,
