Standing. normally, inhale slowly.

After remaining motionless for Il few

Unite the three movements OF the
arms, raising them horizontally, for

before.
| Next stand with the weight on one
foot. Extend the other long step d.

the ground. Partially transfer the

the forward leg is firmly taken.
Then gradually pull all but the toe
Of the back foot from the ground, while
pressing down forcibly, as if overcom-
ward leg. The forward knee straight
ems, the whole foot comes to the
ground, and the weight is transferred
to the forward leg during the move

the back leg, forcibly pushing that foot
to the ground as the heel of the for"

If sufficient force Is exerted in press

minutes practice they will glow and

is necessary condition for slumber.
Lying in an easy position, first re-
alize that you are now safe in bed, free
from care and ready for refreshing
sleep. Then slowly raise the arms as
high as possible, the hands relaxed.
More slowly still lower the arms, let-

last the nerve force is released from
the shoulder and the whole arm is at
rest. Accompany the exercise with
deep, slow respiration.
Repeat this several times, more slow

lengthy and tedious. They prove to be
neither when tried.

JOHN RUSkIN DEAD.
Noted Authority on Matters Of Art Passes
Away at the Age of 81.

Noted Authority on Natters OF Art PAso00
Away Mt the Age of 81.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-John Ruskin died
Saturday Of influenza, aged 81 years.
John Ruslzin was born in London in
1919, the son of. a Scotchman from Perth
who had made large fortune in the
Wine trade. In his "Preterita" he has
given charming account Of his child
hood and early life, giving much credit
to his mother, WHO aided in guiding the
development of his native tastes and
talent. She even went to Oxford with
him and remained during his early
terms there. He was graduated from
Christ church, Oxford, III lS42, with
high honors, having in 1889 gained the
Newdigate prize for English poetry. He
entered at once upon the study of art,
took ground against the prevailing ten
dency to conventionalism OF imitation Of
the old masters, and in 1S4S produced
his "Modern Painters"
In 1916 Ruskin republished his "Mod-
ern Painters" with many additions and
continued to add to it till it finally ap-
peared in five splendid volumes, having
!, grown to an elaborate philosophical
treatise on landscape painting. Mean
while he was travelling extensively and
studying the art Of Europe, especially in
Venice, the results Of which appear in
"The Stories Of Venice" and the "Seven
Lamps of Architecture. In 1861 he
perpetrated something like a joke on
the public by issuing his ''Notes on the
Construction Of Sheepfolds," which
proved to be rather curious disserta-
ton on church doctrine and discipline,
with chance references to their connec-
ton with church architecture. About
the same time the opening Of the Crys-
tai Palace gave occasion for one Of his
most fascinating essays.
RusGn's married life was strongly
tinctured with an unusual form of 70.
nance. Having learned that his wife
and John Millais, the painter, were very
I much in love with each other (although
in a strictly proper way, Ruskin is said
to have informed his spouse that he was
unwilling to stand in the way Of her
happiness. Suit for divorce was &C.
cordingly entered by the lady, who
afterward married Millais. Ruskin q
friendship for the couple continued un.
abated up to the time Of his mental OBJ.

the case. Instead the big ntestines of
oxen are employed on account of their
lightness. toughness and other quail

ner it is said that no less than 7o.ooo
head of cattle are needed. The balloon
costs about s5,coo.
One grea, advantage of this material
Is that it holds the gas better than oil
silk does Heretofore the aeronaut
has been greatly bothered by the leak
age Of his gas to such an extent that
charge could be relied upon only day
or two, or at best only two or three
days, without considerable addition
TO it. But it is said that n Well-nade
balloon OF the modern style will keep
it's charge for month or more with
out sensitive diminution. Moreover,
if an enemy's shot should puncture the
balloon while aloft the wounds will
close and the leakage will be small. a
severe fire is necessary to disable the
thing.
The gas for initiating an army bal
loon is compressed into cans or tanks.
and thuscarried ready made by wagons
to the field. When one OF these cans. or
cylinders. has been carefully tested
and then filed it will hold its contents
for years. wagon load of cylinders
may then be hauled TO the scene of ac-
ton and the empty bag filled on short
notice. When employed in scouting
service a balloon is held captive by
wire rope that is wound and unwound
from wipdlass. There is separate
wire from the basket to the ground for
telephone or 'elegraphic purposes, SO
that the signal officers IN the balloon
can communicate their observations to
