When the canoe is headed into the
wind. be careful that you do not get
around too far. else you will have had
all your troubles for nothing. When
going against the wind, keep the bow
so as to catch the wind on the quarter
and paddle on the opposite side.
Different kinds of wood are used in
the manufacture Of paddles. among
them being spruce, maple. cedar. and
sometimes oak, though oak paddles are
too heavy to ever become very popular.
OF the different woods used, spruce is
the best. combining as it does tough
ness and lightness. the two principal
virtues Of a good paddle
Regarding the lengths Of paddles, no
special rule can be followed. for one
person prefers one length. while an
other wants something different 1t
naturally follows, though, that per-
son with long arms will want a long
paddle, and just the reverse for one
with. short arms. good rule to fol-
low is to select one that does not cause
too much stretching of the arms, when
one hand is on top and the other on
the bottom Of the handle. The bow
paddle need not be longer than about
feet inches. though. usually. a
woman will require one somewhat
shorter The longer paddle should be
used in the stern.
In landing on a beach, do not run ashore
bow on Sometimes. though, this cannot
be avoided. But usually to land this way
causes terrible strain on the canoe. to
say nothing of the wear on the canvas as
the canoe slides upon the beach. With the

When learning to paddle go with some
one who knows how and watch him. The
bow stroke is easiest to learn. The stern
stroke. however, may be acquired first,
but is far more difficult for a beginner.

low. The one that offers the least risk
for two people is where one lies or
stoops in the bottom Of the canoe while
the other crawls over him. He also should
gain the position he expects to occupy
and become settled before the other at
tempts to move. By so doing he Is able
to see just what the second man Is at
tempting. Remember. do not attempt to
move around while in an upright posi-
ton. This can be DONE but only by ex-
perienced canoeists.

Under present instructions, it is
the duty of the army officers in con-
nection with the raising of the wreck
of the Maine to transfer the fighting
mast and the remains of the dead to
Arlington cemetery, and to turn over
to the navy department such special

mental purposes. The remaining parts
of the wreck are to be removed by
the most economical methods and
sunk in deep water outside of Havana
harbor. No funds have been provided
by congress for any other disposal of
the remnants of the wreck.
Considerable progress is being made
in the movement to eliminate the
army mule and substitute the auto
truck, according to the report of Brig.
Gen. ]. B. Aleshire, quartermaster gen.
eral of the army.
1t has already been found, after
careful investigation and experiment
that the auto truck is more economi
cal and more efficient when used in
cities and over good roads. Three
such trucks are now being used at
San Francisco, Cal, one at Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, one at West Point,
N. Y, and seven in Manila.
Efforts are now being made to OBJ
tain a truck which will replace the
animal drawn wagon with troops in
the field. The ordinary commercial
/ truck is not suitable as means of
! transportation in the field, says Gen.
Aleshire, but truck of a special
type has already been planned for
! testing purposes
| The commercial truck is usually too
heavy when loaded to be safely used
over country bridges and culverts.
The idea carried out in the expert
/ mental truck is that with load of
5000 pounds, it will not weigh over
/ c,000 pounds.
