New York, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-Battling
against the tide in the East river, the
eddies of the bay and the battling
cross currents off Norton's Point, Rose
Pitonof, 16 years old, swan the Il
miles from East Twenty sixth street,
Manhattan, to Coney Island in eight
hours and seven minutes.
1t was the longest swim ever made
by a woman in this country feat
that many of the greatest male swim
mers have failed to negotiate But
when the little miss had made her way
through the throng OF cheering bath
ers at Steeplechase Park and was
asked for some comment on her
achievement, she said: II enjoy bath
ing"
She had not taken noufishment OF
any kind during her many hours in the
water. but when asked what she would
like to eat she said, "a cup of coffee
and a chicken sandwich" That was
all she ate, too.
When she started out 1t looked as If
she would be defeated in her purpose
even before she reached the Battery.
The tide in the river was running
strong against her, and she was trying
to swim in midtsream. But besides
having the most powerful physique
and the greatest endurance of any
girl of her age, Miss Pitonof also had a
head for generalship.
When she found that she couldn't
battle against the tide in midstream
she changed her tactics, swan back in
shore, and during the rest of the trip
in the river kept so near the water
edge that she swan under many of
the piers.
She passed under the Williamsb burg
bridge at 11:10, and 81 minutes later
she had passed the Manhattan struct-
ure. The Brooklyn bridge was
reached at 1910 o'clock.
1t took her 20 minutes to reach the
Battery from here. Governors Island
was passed at 1885. After that the
tidal conditions began to favor her.
1t was expected that Miss Pitonot
would meet with disaster at Norton's
Point on account Of the strong under
tow there. It was at this point that
she gave up last year. This time
however. she reached Norton's Point
just as the tide was going in
Hindered BY Bathers.
She switched from the breast stroke
to the overland Then again she swan
close to the shore and was hindered
by a flotilla Of small boats and hun
dreds Of bathers who persisted in fol-
lowing her.
She received rousing ovation at

Zapata Cruel Leader.
With Gen Emeliano Zapata again in
the lightlight, a story Illustrating the
coldblooded vindictiveness of the man
who has been characterized by the
press Of the nation as Modern At
tia is being circulated. According to
the story, both Emeliano Zapata and
his brother, Eufemio, often figured in
the courts and on the last occasion
EmeIiano was condemned to do service
with the state troops. and 1t fell to
Carmen Garcia, secretary to the Jefe
politico of the district of Cuautla to
conducted to the barracks, Zapata sue
ceeded in making his escape and from
that time on until the revolution was
in hiding, the governor of the state
having issued an order that he be shot
on sight. 1t was toward the end of the
revolution that Zapata started his own
little uprising and collected about him
several thousand followers, many of
whom were recruited by the simple
process of opening the doors of the
jails.
After the taking of Cuautla by the
forces of Zapata, the rebel chieftain
was informed that Garcia was in hid
ing in a certain house. He Immediately
commanded that Garcia be hunted up
and brought into his presence When
the squad of Zapata's men brought the
trembling man into his presence. the
leader exclaimed: $50 you are the one
who wanted to condemn me TO the
service, no?" and without waiting for
an answer, lifted his repeating rifle
and fired two shots into the body OF
Garcia.
Gravely wounded, but not yet dead,
the story goes, Garcia under Zapata's
orders, was carried out of the room
and thrown into a well.
Zapata is of dark complexion, almost
black, with a mustache which droops,
thin face and dark eyes which reflect
his moods of anger or pleasure IN
striking manner. He wears the charro
dress. His frame is thin and wiry and
his thin legs encased in tight trousers
accentuate the effect of his broad
Mexican hat. Despite his appearance he
has great endurance and uneX-
pected strength. Physically he is al
most the ideal type of a horseman who
can stay all day in the saddle and never
know he has been riding.

HOW TO CARE FOR PLANTS.
Water 10 Essential, but II Should Be
Used Carefully.

Water is both food and drink to
plant life and should be given intel
ligcntly-that is, when the plant needs
1t. There can be no hard and fast
rule laid down as to how often or how
much water TO give II plant, for condi-
tions vary. Evaporation may be much
greater at one time than at another.
The best rule TO follow for nearly all
plants. except ferns. is TO give
thorough drenchng and then allow
the surface soil to become dry before
watering thoroughly again. Ferns re-
quire more water than most plants.
and the earth should never be allow
ed to become entirely dry.
Never water with very cold water.
Temper the water before pouring it
on to the plants so as not TO chill
them. In growing plants in the house
one must try to carry out as far as
possible the conditions of green
house-warm. moist nir-and for this
reason kettle of water should re.
main at all times on the radiator, reg
lister or stove to keep the mir moist.
And It is not amiss to say that this is
a good sanitary precaution even If
there are no plants I'm the room. for
most of our steam and furnace heated
city houses and apartments are kept
far too hot and dry for health.
Dust Is I'm enemy to plant life.
Plants breathe through their leaves
Therefore it is necessary to keep them
free from dust. At least once a week
or dusty the plants should be put in
the bathtub on their side and gently
sprinkled with bath spray.
Remember that rain never falls upon
plant life ut the temperature and force
II comes from city hydrant. There
fore give them gentle shower, but
see that ALI parts of the leaves are
thoroughly washed 1t is also good
idea to spray the plants daily with n
hand atomizer. If this is not accessi-
BILE whiskbroom dipped in water and
shaken over the plants answers the
same purpose and may even take the
place of the bath spray If used vigor-
ously and thoroughly.
Never water n plant with the sun
shining upon II or put it in the sun
shine while the leaves are wet. The
best time for watering Is early in the
morning or about sundown.
Some plants need watering twice Il
day, but most plants require wcttinp
but once day and under certain con
ditions not more than once IN two o.
three days. It Is best 20 judge by the

This same friend. telling about the
conversation, said that Crane ad-
mitted the truth Of all that had becu
tcld him. but asked where the Re-
publican organization could find am
other candidate with whom IT gould
expect to do any better. AppaMntly
Senator Crane, following this discus
sion. started to search for such a can.
didate, and thereupon made over
lures TO Mr.. Roosevelt. The newspa-
pers already have told that Mr..
Roosevelt declined the profIercd sup.
port and declared he was not cant
didate and clearly gave the Massa p
chusetts senator no encouragement.
Under some circumstances this
declaration from Mr.. Roosevelt might
he regarded as advantageous for Nj.
Taft. But In view of the fact that
Senator Crane could have been moved
to tender his support to Mr. Roosevelt
only by an absolute conviction that
Mr. Taft cannot be reelected, 1t Is
believed the reactionary leader is FAR
more likely TO continue his search for
an available man than to disregard
what he appears to think the palpd-
bic weakness of the president and
settle down to a placid acceptance OF
the defeat which he evidently be-
lleves Mr.. Taft's denomination Will
bring to the Rpublican party.
The forces of the administration are
tremendously disturbed by the devei-
opments. The national committee is
almost upon the eve of meeting to
make arrangements for the next ma
tionm convention. This committee
will virtually decide whether as a
body 1t is for the denomination of Mr..
Taft. The influence of Senator Muir
ray Crane with the committee is tre-
mendous. II is probably so strong
that were he alone to declare that
some other candidate should be Sc
lected a majority OF the committee
would accept his view.
