he subjects of breeding.

During your early practice do not attempt to take any run with the ball. Begin by acquiring a correct and slow delivery. In this the ball will leave the hand at a point very close to the floor and there will be no jar as It's rolling begins. A lofted ball is one that Is de- livered too high. A ball that bumps the floor before it is released loses &C., curacy. The proper point of release is one as near the floor as possible with out touching.
 When you swing the ball for deliv- cry remember this rule: Keep the thumb to the front and the wrist rigid.
 As the spractice progresses the hand and arm will become steady in the steps of start. Little by little you can learn to edge to the side of the alley and develop artistic curves.
 Learn in the very beginning to lift your ball with one hand. Remember what the holes are made for. If you start in clumsily. lifting the ball from the runway with both hands and con- sidering 1t heavy. you will have an un- | graceful habit to break up. If you make bowling graceful ir will return the compliment by making you grace full. Place the thumb and second finger in their holes and lift the ball lightly. This will give suppleness to the finger muscles as wall as to those of the arm.

bowling is a more valuable appetizer than digestant.
 Bear in mind tho simple rules and terms of the game. Remember that pins that have been bowled down and remain either on the alley or in the pin pit are called dead wood: and that dead wood must be cleared from the alley before a ball is rolled. Remember that in de- livering the ball you must not permit any part of the foot. while any portion thereof Is in contact with the alleys, to rest or extend on, over or beyond the foul line, nor any part of your person to come in contact with any part of the alleys beyond the foul line at any time before the bail shall have reached the pins. And remember that because you are a woman is no reason why you should not play fair and play well.

 Never play but one game day un- til you are thoroughly accustomed to the exercise. The expert says that she has played as many as twelve in an afternoon, and she always plays as many as half that number. This is all very well for her, but it is too much for the amateur. Taken in moderate doses the game will reduce superfiuous flesh or build up needed tissues. Be satisfied with this knowledge and don't wear yourself out in an attempt to reach the championship at one bound. The strife of competition is what makes all of these sports dangerous; 1t is so hard for an ambitious woman not to overdo them.

to leap forward. The farmers got more
money for grain, it cost the millers

ON CRATER, i
ALMOST STARVES
United States Shipping Commits
sioner Has Thrilling Expert
ence in Vast Volcano.

Honolulu, Dec. 24.-To be lost for
two days and nights upon the slopes of
the biggest crater in the world was
the experience Of B. Griggs Holt, the
United States shipping commissioner Of
these islands. He was lost on the
slopes of Haleakala, on the island of
Maui. In company with two compan-
ions, Holt rode to the summit of the
mountain to view the interior of the
vast crater, which is nearly thirty miles
in diameter. Coming down he got sepa-
rated from his companions, and in a
heavy fog that came up took the wrong
trail and was soon lost on different
ridge. The mountain is so vast that
it takes up practically one end of the
entire island of Maui, and that Holt
was ever able to reach the outside
world again is remarkable.
After trying for nearly day to re-
join his companions, he finally decided
that the only hope Of saving his life
and follow the beach until he came
upon some habitation. He had to go
for miles over hard, sharp, clinky lava
beds and cut his shoes to pieces and
bruised and cut his feet in terrible
way. Finally the course became so
hard that the horse which he was at
times leading and at other times trying
to ride refused to bulge another step,
so Holt turned the animal loose. He
also threw away his camera and all
superfuous articles. For thirty-fve
hours he was without food, and for
thirty hours he had no water to drink.
At length he reached the seashore, and,
after staggering for miles, came upon
native, who took him to native
ranch, where aid was given him.
It was very fortunate thing for
Holt that he was lost on the outside
slopes Of the mountain rather than in
side of the crater. It's doubtful if he
could ever have gotten out alive if he
had lost his way inside of Haleakala
The mountain is about 10000 feet in
height and the floor Of the crater is
dotted with volcano cones that rise all
the way from 500 to 1000 feet in
height. There has been no volcanic
activity in Haleakala for hundreds of
years, but few people have been lost
in the crater and escaped without the
laid of rescue party.

three times that of Niagara Falls. Al
Thomson there already exists a dam
which furnished small amount OF
power. This dam will be enlarged and
raised to a much higher level, This
will create a reservoir, tho not large
enough to overflow much territory. The
contour Of the country is such that.a
canal can be built from this reservoir
and, running for a distance Of some
thing less than three miles, will again
strike the river at a point which will
give a fall Of 1855 feet
A forebay will be established at
this height and the water dropped this
365 feet thru iron pipes into the gener--
ating station located on the river level
below. The tremendous power that a
tiny stream of water falling this dis
tance will produce can be figured by
any one familiar with physics. The
entire proposition can be depended
upon to develop at least 100000 horse
power, and possibly much more, that
depending upon the amount Of storage
that can be provided for water.

cities Of Duluth and Superior The
rates already made by the company
give assurance of power as cheap as
can be found in the west, and as cheap
as that furnished at Niagara.
In addition to the plan as given, the
company can develop $4,000 direct hy-
tyfoot dam bout two miles below the
point where the electric generating sta
tion will be located. The expense of
this would be very light and it would
yield a handsome revenue. This power
would be particularly adapted for pa
per or pulp mills and is already being
investigated by several concerns.
The plans of the company provide
for beginning work at once. Every
thing is in readiness, for every detail
