ENGLISH CHANNEL is
CROSSED BY SWIMMER
National News Association

LONDON, Sept. For the second
time in history a swimmer has sue
ceeded in crossing the English chan
mel. Burgess, the noted English
swimmer, yesterday accomplished the
feat which Capt. Webb was the first
to perform.
The life ambition of Thomas w.
Burgess has been to swim the channel
and he has made a number of efforts
to that end. In August 1908, Burgess
made one Of the pluckiest attempts on
record to swim the channel and arriv-
ed within half a mile of the French
coast when he became physically ex-
hausted after being in the water 20
hours and IL minutes.
Many aspirants have sought to re.
peat the accomplishment of Capt
Webb In 1890 Davis Dalton, an Amer.
lean, claimed that he had successfully
made the trip but his claim was imme.
diately disputed and it was finally prov
en- that Dalton had not made the trip.

CHINESE INGENUITY,
How Ono Cover Was Made to Fit ,
Roomful Of Shoppers.

Roomfui Of Shoppers.
A writer in q French magazine tells
a curious story about how they man
age cheap lodging houses in China.
Along Chinese roads, it seems, there
are many Of these lodging houses.
where the charge for a nights lodg.
ing is considerably less than / cent
All the bedding provided is one huge
mass Of feathers, into which all the
guests burrow.
Formerly they used to get blankets,
but some time ago those who ran
these primitive inns learned that their
losses on account Of the theft OF
blankets by guests were far too large.
Something, they decided, had to be
done. Finally an ingenious man among
them hit ON this:
Over the feather filled room OF his
lodging house he hung an enormous
canvas covering. In the daytime II
hung near the ceiling. At night it was
lowered by means Of pulleys until it
covered the entire mass of feathers
and all those sleeping thereon. thus
taking the place of individual blankets
This huge canvas was provided with
q large number OF small Sits through
which the guests might stick their
heads and escape suffocatiOn beneath
the immense covering.
Early each morning the loud pound
ing of a drum served to waken the
sleepers and warn them to get theil
heads out Of the Sits In the canvas
Thereupon It was raised again to tn.

covered with gravel, and then the ride
from Milford to Williamsville, thence to

the stone road would be a very pleasant
little automobile ride around of an even
