the minimum a novice should at
tempt.
High diving is one of the most
fascinating feats connected with
swimming; but it needs to be
carefully done.
With the Backward" dive, the
Running Header" the "Swar-
low" the Belgian Jump" and
other forms of fancy diving we
have no space to deal. 1t may,
however, be said that the first
named is very similar to the dive
from height only reversed with
the back toward the water; and
that the other methods can be
easily acquired by watching expert
divers, when once the two meth
DDS we have described have been
thoroughly learned.
The Swallow" dive is particu-
larly graceful; and though diff
cult should be learned with 1T
tie practice by any "plucky" and
accurate diver.
Water polo is being more and
more played by swimmers as a
recreation. It affords splendid
sport and equally good trainfn g,
and might certainly figure with
advantage more frequently among
the amusements of parties OF
friends or large families who are
good swimmers.

AS a general rule the learner
should commence with what is
known as the low dive; which is
made from some spot only foot
or so above the surface of the
water. To do this properly she
should stand erect, legs together,
and take several short insplra-
Ttions. The arms must then be
swung from behind to the front,

to Pilkins, who stood in sullen anger, realizing
that accident had disclosed the silver vein he
thought safe hidden until the log walls of the
shack would have rotted
