To go around the world in a barrel
is the latest enterprise of Felix Tan
ner of fasting and parachute fame.
Mail advices from Wellington, N. T..
states that Tanner has built an ark
with which he proposes to surpass all
other sea voyages. The marine de-
partment of New Zealand has officially
surveyed the unique vessel.
The craft is barrel shaped and has
a stem attached. 1t is 9 feet long by
feet inches wide, and is hoped
with iron. The bow and stern re-
semble those of an ordinary boat and
are bound together from end to end,
enclosing the body of the freak YES.
sci. There is a pump for use in an
emergency.
The vessel will carry jib and main.
sail, with a square foresail, and Tan.
ner thinks she should be able to at.
tain fair speed. On the after deck is
a cockpit, from which the barrel boat
will be controlled. Tanner is con-
v1nced he can circumnavigate the
globe in the barrel.

FOREIGNERS In Russian Navy.

From the days of Peter the Great
down to the present day the percent
age of foreigners in the Russian navy
has been enormous. The sailors are
in very few cases genuine Russians,
but are for the most part made up Of
Swedes, Courlanders, Firms, Greeks
and Odessa Italians. In fact, it might
be said that the foreigners have not
only made but are still maintaining
the Russian navy. The reason for
this is because the Russians are not
a maritime people.

Choosing the Right Mom<s a.

When a man with ideas complains
that he is disregarded, as a crank, he
has probably failed to discover that
the habits of the world are largely as
sumed as the result of experience. 1t
is enough to give utterance to new
ideas in order that they may become
effective when they grow old. Only
once in a thousand times does a man
hit upon the psychological moment for
a revolution. The world cannot be
forced but at the right time it enthu-
siastically follows an able leader.

For Old and YOUNG.

Romping uses muscles in an unsys.
temat1c but very thorough way.
You cannot go through a vigorous pill
low fight or a game of horse without
using all the muscles of your body
more or less. Best of all, deep
breathing is prompted. You find your
self out of breath, as you call it, the
lungs inhaling and exhaling in deep
breaths. This is excellent practice
for them. Many people breathe only
specifically.
The more you breathe deeply the
more you will do so. That is, if you
take a certain time each day to
breathe vigorously that deeper breath
ing will soon become automatic, and
you will find that you are practicing
it when you do not intend to. The
lungs grow used to expanding, and
there is nothing they enjoy better
once they have learned the trick of
it. Soon you will see signs of the
chest expanding, the bust growing
higher and frmer.

Stopped by Eeis.


On the Chattoga river. Georgia, are
large cotton factories which are run
by water power furnished by a tur-
bine water wheel Not long ago the
superintendent of the factory found
that something had gone wrong with
the power, and the factory had to be
stopped to see what was the matter.
The water was shut OF, the sluice
gates raised, the water drained from
the canal and pier-head and the wheel
box was opened. Inside were found an
enormous number of cells, which were
twisted and knotted around the shaft
and among the blades of the wheel
so as to make the force of the water,
although amounting to several hum
cred horse power, insufficient to turn
the machinery.
When the cells were removed they
were found to number 160 and weighed
264 pounds, some Of them scaling an
high as four pounds The river has
long been celebrated for its eel fishing,
but this was an unusually large catch.
