Wyoming hunter, was made chairman
of the executive council.
The plan Of enrolment, as explained
by Mr.. Pocock, is as follows:
Every district in the world where
there are Britishers contains some men
who have seen service in the wilder
ness or at sea. These we will bring
into contact and ask them to form a
club. We do not care whether this Is
a social, sporting, athletic, rife, polo,
racing or hunting club; its premises
may be a palace, room in public
house, or rain swept tents; its funds
may be as large or small as its mem
bers please; but it must elect chair
man, treasurer and secretary and 1t
must subscribe to our rules before 1t
becomes a command OF the Legion of
Frontiersmen. The most important
command will be that in London. the
rallying center for our tribe through
out the world

These games will be competitions in
such matters as shooting. wrestling

province will be played for sweep

OF training we need is not provided In
any army. 1t is doubtful, too, II any
army which trains men in the mass
could make the best use Of frontiers
men, who are only useful in small
details as specialists. For we are
neither cavalry, infantry. nor artillery.
and in any existing arm Of the service
could only be rated as recruits. We are
not 50 much soldiers as guerrillas, and
to be useful must form distinct arm,
not belonging to the army, but attach

and the least harmful. They AFFORD
good, clean sport and offer practically
no opportunity Of his injuring himself
in any way. The two things that de-
eide either success or failure In the
standing jumps Is the perfect flexiblli-
ty Of the body and as near perfect
nervous system as is obtainahle. With
out the utmost fiexibility in every
muscle Of the body boy or man can
never jump. And likewise without a
perfect control OF his nerves he can
never hope to jump higher or farther
than any other man. To secure the
first of these two essentials | advise
every boy to practice long and faith

not attempt to use heavy weights or to
indulge in strenuous spcvts that viii
give plenty Of muscle but little fiexi-
bility. | myself find that every time
I branch out from my own line lose
some Of my fiexibility and fail to equal
my previous marks. Neither can
man attain success in the standing
high or broad jump and at the same
time excel In the running jumps. In
the runs there Is less need OF nervous
energy than in the standing jumps. To
obtain complete control Of your nerves
is probably the hardest thin< an ath-
lete and especially one who Is training
for the standing jumps. has to do. In
the first place he must avoid all in
toxicants. tobacco and anything that
might unfavorably affect his digestion.
When a man who is competing In the
standing high jump walks up to a bar
nearly as high as his head and he has
already knocked 1t down twice, with
only one moro chance at It. his nerves
are very apt to play him false unless
he has them under perfect control.
The boy or man who is entered In the
standing jumps must be In perfect
control ofshimself. When he steps up
to the bar for his jump or to the take
OF for the broad jump he wants to be
all concentrated on the one thing OF
throwing himself up or across. The
little tricks Of form in jumping are
important themselves, though minor to
flexibility and nervousness. For the
high jump the very best practice Isl
the double high kick. for it is almost
the exact movement to make In high
Jumping. In the broad jump remember
to get up in the air and to throw your
self just before you land.

Mr.. Black said the great problem
had been neither the tunnel nor the

Alaska, but to get the car to officially
authorize the building of the 4,O00-mile
link OF new railway through Siberia
This was what kept things at a stand
still so long.
Now that the ukase has been signed
there would be no difficulty in raising
money to construct lines through Alas
ka and Siberia, as well as the great
tunnel under Behring strait.
1t is believed that these thousands

mel itself, can be finished and trains

miles wide. from 1rkutsk, on the
Trans-Siberian road, to Behring Sea, a
distance OF $500 miles-the line fol-
lowing the richest agricultural and
mineral regions in Russia The COM
pany asked for grant Of this strip as
a bonus from the czar to aid in build
ing the great railway. Now that the
concession has been signed nothing re-
mains but to push on the work.
1t is planned, Of course, to utilize
the existing lines Of railroad, and the
standard gauge road which Is now be-
ing built in Alaska between Council
city and the Salmon river win form
one Of the links Of the transcontinen-
tai line.
It is an interesting fact that while
VI. de LobeI was proposing ferry or
bridge across Behring Strait he met
with no approval In this country. But
later, when he planned to tunnel the
strait, he ree5iyed encouragement
from capitalists and engineers.
Behring strait is 36 miles wide, with
depth Of from 100 to $50 feet in the
deepest place. Fortunately there are
two Islands between shores, which will
greatly aid in Fastening the tunnel
work, because It win give the engineers
places in mid-channel to sink shafts

the excavators can work both ways

SHOOTING WITH THE MACHINE
motion, however slight It may be, Is
communicated to the rod and through
the goose-neck to the indicating needle.
Facing the needle is target-holder.
which holds the sub-target Tor small
cardboard target, Of which illustration
are given) at right angles to, and about
one-eighth inch from, the point Of the
needle. II may be as well to explain that
the machine Is not an electrical machine,
as many people who have not seen 1t in
working order imagine it to be. A slight
current Of electricity is used, but only
for the purpose of pushing the target
holder against the needle at the moment
OF firing. The following is the mechan-
ism by which this is accomplished: In
the base of the machine are four simple
dry-cell batteries. connected with the
rifle by a wire in such manner that
when the trigger Is pulled short con-
tact is made, and the current passed
through a wire running through the
head to the magnet, which is so con-
nected with the target-holder that, sim
ultaneousIy with the passing Of the cur
rent, which is, practically speaking,
simultaneous with the pulling of the
trigger, the target-holder darts forward
against the point of the needle with suf-
ficient force to puncture the sub-target
at the exact point where bullet would
have stuck the real or objective target
under normal conditions. The whole Of
the mechanism to which the rife is at
tached is SO counterbalanced by the
weight that the shooter receives no as
sistance whatever In raising or sup
porting his rife, but has in his hands
the actual free weight of his weapon.
The various attachments and bearings
which hansmit the position and move
ments Of the rife to the rod, and thence
through the goose-neck to the Indicating
needle, are SO beautifully constructed
and SO free from friction that there is no
sensation Of any restraint in the abso-
lutely free manipulation of the rife it.
self. Moreover, there is mo point Of
rest" at all; that is to say, that in no
conceivable position can the shooter re-
ceive from the machine the slightest
support or assistance in steadying the
rifle while taking aim. BY means Of the
gimbal rings and, to which the rod is
connected, the rife is capable Of being
freely moved in all directions; and
every movement is accurately followed
by the needle until the trigger is pulled
and the little sub-target punctured-
Neither the sub-target nor the indicat-
ing needle can be seen by the marks
man, who must therefore find his own
