SEA BATHING.
when Gone About In the Right Way
Is Very Denegcial to
Women.

Sea bathing during the summer is
rather more of an ordeal than pleas
ure to many women. One Of the prin-
cipal reasons is, says the American
Queen, that so few know how to swim,
an accomplishment that all ought to
possess; and instead Of wishing and
wishing to be able. and again and again
saying; II must really learn to SWIM"
she should accomplish her desire and
learn at once-not In the ocean when
the immense expanse of water is APP
palling and the waves, however small,
disturb one, but in a swimming bath,
where the surface Of the water is
smooth and the depth is known exact
ly. Having learned to swim there is
the greatest enjoynientto be had out
of a summers vacation at the seaside,
If one be not imprudent-eye a good
swimmer should not go out very far or
swim until she becomes tired.
Wear perfectly plain bathing suit;
it is not only more comfortable and be-
coming, but is more modest.
For those WHO cannot swim there is
still enjoyment and benefit TO beghad |
out of sen bathing if gone about III the
right way. When ready for your bath
wade in the water at once up to your
waist, then holding on to the lifeline
with your face to the shore fall down
into the water SO that you are wet.
thoroughly this is the first point td !.
the enjoyment OF the bath-then keep
moving constantly; jump up and
down; try 10 swim toward the shore
Remain in the water not more than Is
minutes and dress as quickly as possi-
Bile.
If all this dressing and undressing
seems too much trouble for the short
time one can, with benefit, remain in
the water, try salt rub in your own
room and you viii get all the benefits Of
the sea bath with considerably. less
trouble. Put few pounds of coarse
salt, sea salt by preference, in basin;
,our enough water on the salt to pro-
luce sort Of sicsh. This should then
oe taken up in handfuls and rubbed j
1riskly over the entire person. The
lext thing is rinsing off with clear
water, preferably cold, and brisk rub
ling with the Turkish towel. |

WIRELESS ELECTRICITY.
Famous Electrlcinn Talks OF the
Possibility of Communicating
with the NeRrSr Planets.

Writing in Century, Nikola Tesla
makes an Interesting prediction as &c
the transmission of electric power
without the use OF wires:
while I have not as yet, actually
affected transmission of consider
able amount of energy, such as would
be Of industrial Importance, to great
distance by this new method, / have
operated several model plants under
exactly the same conditions which
will exist in a large plant Of this kind,
and the practicability Of the system
is thoroughly demonstrated. The ex-
periments have shown conclusively
that, with two terminals maintained
at an elevation Of not more than 30,-
600 to $4,000 feet above sea level, and
with an electrical pressure of 15,O00,s
900 to 20,0o0,000 volts, the energy of
thousands Of horse power can be
transmitted over distances which/may
be hundreds. and. if necessary, thou
sands of miles. am hopeful, how
ever, that / may be able to reduce
very considerably the elevation of the
terminals now required, and with this
object / am following up an idea
which promises such a realization.
There is, Of course, popular preju-
dice against using an electrical pres
sure Of millions Of volts, which may
cause sparks to hy at distances Ct
hundreds of feet, but, paradoxical as
it may seem, the system, as l have
described it IN a technical publication,
offers greater personal safety than
most of the ordinary distribution cir
cults now used in The cities. This is,
in a measure, borne out by the fact
that, although have carried. on such
for number Of years, I
no injury has been sustained either
by me or any of my assistants. 4 "
From that moment when it was
observed that, contrary to The estab-
lished opinion, low aud easily acces-
sible strata Of the atmosphere are
capable of conducting electricity, the

Captain Jackson Ellis is back
from Ardmore where he went to
interview the taxpayers again and
ascertain just how many Of them
wanted the pleasure of his COM
pany and free ride out Of the
territory. He found none Of them
who wanted to go, and after sat
isfying himself that they were
merely amusing themselves with
a quiet little game of bluff, the
good-natursd captain of Indian
police came away and left them in
the full enjoyment Of the belief
that their bluff would not be called.
Several of the injunction cases
which had been referred to the
master in chancery bad not been
