Hints TO Swimmers,

An expert swimmeS is authority for
the assertion that q vast majority of
the drowning casualties which are at
trlbuted TO cramps are in all probable
ity the result of cardiac exhaustion.
Nearly ali experienced swimmers, he
says. know that cramps when in the
water are of comparatively infrequent
occurrence. 1t is commonly in the calf
Of the leg, and the swimmer by lying
quietly upon his back without undue
alarm and stretching out the leg may
overcome this somewhat painful invol-
untary muscular contraction. The ex-
ertion of swimming, however. is fully
equal to the exertion of running. with
the additional tax upon the system OF
a gradual lowering of the bodily tenn
perature. 1t Is one thing to know how

ROAR OF BIG GUNS.
The Effect Upon the Nerves and the
Sense of HEARING.

Schse OF T'eaTln9'
One of the penalties attendant on
firing off big guns is deafness. So
sure is this penalty TO be eXacted that.
II is asserted. no man can go through
a long series Of gunnery practice with
out having his hearing affected. A
stranger on deck who hears a big gun
speak for The first time will not SOC
forget the stunning report.
One gun is enough to startle a stran-
ger. but the SCATTERING effect of the
whole armament when in action to-
gether can hardly be conceived. The
strain upon nerves and senses when the
rending conclusion takes place is ter
rible.
tween the effect of the big guns and
that of the smaller pieces, strange as
II may seem. If the visitor places
himself beside one of the smaller guns
and then listens to the roar of the big
one the sound will not appear much
louder than that of the gun by his side.
The extra distance 10 the muzZle of
the big piece discounts the sound. The
only apparent difference between the
two will he that the smaller piece has
a sharper. higher pitched tone. and
that the big guns speak with a more
believing roar.

CONAN DOYLE WAS LATE.
The Lonely Schwarenbach Inn and a
Literary Coincidence.

The Lonely Schwarenbach Inn and a
Literary Coincidence.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once walked
over the Gemmi. He was much i'm
pressed by the desolate appearance of
the lonely looking Schwarenbach inn.
Here, it seemed to him. was an ideal
scene in which a novelist might locate
a story of mystery and crime.
He proceeded TO invent a story of
mystery and crime suitable 70 the
creepy environment. 1t was Il story Of
murder-the murder of a long lost 500
just home from the wars by his own
father, the needy innkeeper. who did
not recognize him until after the deed
was done, but had resolved to kill and
rob the first lonely stranger that
passed that way with money in his
pocket.

A VOLCANIC BEACON.
Curious Lighthouse Of the Republic Of
San Salvador.

The republic of San Salvador, on the
Pacific side of Central America. is the
only government on earth that collects
lighthouse fees on account of a vol
cano that it owns.
The volcanic beacon is about eight
miles inland from the port of Acajutla
and its pillar Of cloud by day and its
fire sky night are visible for many
miles out at sea. 1t erupts every seven
minutes and is just as accurate as any
revolving light that warns mariners in
any part Of the world. This volcano
has been keeping up this seven min
ute series Of eruptions ever since any
one can remember. 1t is a favorite
amusement Of visiting gringoes TO sit
by the hour during the lazy afternoons
and. watch in hand, time the eruptions
until they tire of the amusement and
fall asleep.
Every vessel that puts in at AGA
jutla-and it is quite an important port
of call along that part Of the coast
has to pay its lighthouse fee. There is
no other lighthouse than the volcano,
but that is a sufficient excuse for the
government OF Salvador to make a
charge for its services. The explosions
that accompany the eruptions sound
like ]detonations Of heavy charges of
dynamite, but are not sufficient TO
shake the ground p~erceptibly more
than a mile or two from the summit Of
the crater. At night there is a squirt Of
fire, a mufled report and a cloud OF
steam. BY day only the steam is Wis

LABOR CRISIS IS
EXPECTED TODAY

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 30--A crisis in
the labor dispute involving 5000 shop
men employed by the Illinois Central
railroad, who are demanding recognt-
ton for their recently organized fed
Grafton, is expected today at confer
ence arranged between labor leaders
and railroad officials.
It is said that Vice President Park
Of the Illinois Central railroad will
refuse to deal with committee Of the
federated body, but has agreed to
meet representatives of ten individual
unions with which the company has
wage contracts. These unions through
their representatives will, 1t Is said,
submit their demands to the railroad
officials at the conference scheduled
and the possibility of strike being
called apparently depends In great
measure on the outcome of this meet
ing.
President McCreary Of the federated
body and his aids were in conference
throughout the morning, but their de-
alterations were carefully guarded.
I'VE have nothing to say at this
time" said President McCreary.
Reports of internecine disputes In
the ranks Of the labor representatives
were emphatically denied by President
McCreary.
Illinois Central officials said at noon
that there were no new developments
in the situation and that they had no
statement to make.
