The Dog Barbers OF Paris.

II is astonishing with what zeal every

One OF the most chara ctrristic OF these

bolic acid for many years, and of recent years
the levee boards along the river have used

The acid is simply poured into the holes
which are burrowed by the crawhsh. and
escape becomes impossible. They sicken
and die under the influence of the acid. which
pollutes the water. Often II Is impossible
to reach the crawflsh with the acid. for the

depth OF the opening in the levee's side.
Crawflshes hurrow irreRularly along the con-
tour OF tho levee, and depth and distance
are always matters Of uncertainty.

SPORT HURTING BRITISH TRADE
Work Neglected. Duty Forgotten for Foot
ball-ODeratiye Snort Crazy.

LONDON, Nov. 26.-With trades union
tyranny curtailing his output on one hand
and foreign competition cutting of his
markets on the other, the harassed British
manufacturer is compelled to tackle another
hindranoe to his retaining for England her
industrial supremacy. 1t ia not q new
grievance, but it has been growing until
it has become of more than ordinary i'm
portance to British factory owners.
The trouble is the British workman's IN
herited love for sports OF all kinds, but more
particularly for football. When trade is at
it's worst. thousands Of operatives still
find money to enable them to attend foot
ball matches. pigeon shoots and rabbit
hunts. Work is neglected and duty can
60 hang when work and sport are In con-
fiict as when a midweek football contest
is scheduled.
The evil is worst in the pottery district
of Staffordshire and in the iron and coal dis
tricts in the north country. In the case of
an important football match to decide
tie for a cup, 40 per cent. OF the men In the
away without leave, men have neglected
the ovens during important firing opera
tions and great loss has been the result.
Practically every mine, foundry and fac
tory. operative i'm Engla land has the Satur-
day half holiday on and most Of the football
rabbit coursing takes place on that day.
But the average English coal miner, IRON
worker and factory hand never seems to
consider that for moment If there Ia mid
week contest worth seeing.
Now the manufact urerS and mine owners
are beginning to deal with the evil with a
stern hand. China manufacturers have
served notice on their employees that alb
sentees on midweek match days will be
instantly dismissed. The colliery owners
have taken the same step.
Hitherto the manufacturers have found
1t more profitable to shut down for half
a day than to work with only half the usual
number Of men. But now the loss Of hall
day when there is u contract to he filed has
become serious matter
Even in strike times. when the workers
have been supposed TO loe starving, the
attendance at the weekly football games,
in which the contestants are practically
professionals drawn from the district, has
districts man without a suit of respectable
clothes will still go regularly to a football
match. He would rather lose his furniture
than not have the sixpence admission
fee
At present, owing to bad trade, many of
day off, They are piece workers and the
loss Is theirs. but the attendance at league
football games is increasing enormously.
Last year, the Stoke on Trent school
board altered the school hours 80 that the
boys might zee the third round match in an
interesting football competition, The town
council. which usually meets in the after
noon, hustled through its business in the
morning to let the members 90 to the foot
ball field.
Rabbit coursing and pigeon shooting are
almost as great crazes as football. The
general betting on the result in all cases is
as serious a matter to the interests of the
wage earners as Is the neglect Of work to
zee the sport to the manufacturers.

TRAVEL BY KITE-DRAWN BOAT.
How Two Engiishmen, In . Third Attempt,
Thus Crossed the Channel.

How 8. F. Cody, the Englishman who has
been trying to cross the Channel from Dover
TO Calais in oollapsible boat drawn by kites,
succeeded on the third attempt Is told in de-
tail in the English newspapers. There is no
indication in these accounts that any one
sees in the feat anything more than an
interesting freak experiment, and nobody
has the hardihood to suggest that kites
will ever supersede sails in navigation at
sea.
Cody made three attempts before he
succeeded His boat was a 12-foot col
lapeible craft weighing, when laden. about
four tons 1t had canvas docks to keep out
the spray from the ohoppy seas which
run in the English Channel
At distance the boat looked like a small
submarine. At first it had bamboo masts,
but these were subsequently discarded
as useless and in the way.
The kites were 15-footers. of silk, con-
struced on the box principle, with wing
shaped extensions. The first attempt was
made in light wind with three of these
kites, two with exceedingly light Frame
ing gear which controlled both the kites
and the boat at the same time.
With the sailor kite flyer went a newspaper
correspondent. They wore oilskins and
life belts and to sustain them during the
Journey of twenty-three miles or 80, carried
large supply Of chocolate and bottled ale,
OF this the newspaper correspondent wrote:
Chocolate, it may be added, is Of great
value when the human temperature is
reduced by long exposure to wet and cold.'
There were twenty-one cameras snapped
at the craft when she started from Dover
in tow of the three kites. The voyagers
we're at sea IN ee hours. When they were
not so far as to be invisible from land, the
wind failed, the kites dropped and in hauling
them in the travellers would have been
swamped If a friendly craft hadn't gone to
the rescue. They rowed back.
The second attempt failed from a similar
cause.-the lightness of the wind. The
kites would have fallen into the water
as the boat was gathering way under them,
had not sea anchor, a canvas bag which
opens automatically in the water, been
thrown out.
The third attempt was made several weeks
later in q brisk breeze. One kite towed
the craft across the Channel in thirteen
hours. An interesting commentary upon
il was that Cody discovered before making
it that his life was practically uninsura ble
except at ridiculous premium.
England has the kite flying craze just now
a little worse than many people here had II
a short time ago. The model airship, In the
popular estimation, Is one which combines
aeroplanes, propeller and balloon.
