INLAND BATHING BEACH
Viennese Have All the Water Joys of
 Coast Cities

From the Wide World Magazine.
 The Niennese. although living almost in tho centre of Europe, hundreds of miles away from any seaside bathing resort, are yet, owing to the enterprise of the municipality of Vienna, able to indulge in bathing on a much more ex- tensive scale than the people of any European seaside resort, with the pos- gible exception of Ostend in the height Of the summer season.
 Some four or five years ago the authorities of Vienna realized the great benefit that bathing on wholesale lines. so to speak, would be to the inhabitants Of the city during tho summer months With this end in view they acquired a picturesque tree clad island bordered with fine stretches of sand in what is known as the .Old Danube" Here, in the course of a few months, arrange ments were made for providing not only a splendid bathing place for hosts Of Viennese of all classes who were unable, through lack of time or means, to take the long journey necessary to reach the nearest Continental place, but also very interesting experiment In municipal trading. which up to the present has more than satisfied it's originators.
 Year by year since its first institu- ton some four years ago. the StranC bad" to give this unique institution it's proper name, has increased in popular ity. and now, on every reasonable fine afternoon throughout the summer months from June until late in Septem- Der, one sees crowds of people vending their way to the floating bridge ferr, by which the long. sandy island or which the "Strand-bad" is situated is reached

Oxygen Cars on Railroad


 The new railroad climbs up from Taoua T pretty steep wall in surmounting the volcanic chain of the Andes. in some places the grade Is six feet. In conse- ouence the rack and cog system has to be used. The place where the ridge of the coast range is crossed is 2 little more than 14.OO0 feet A novel ,dea is to re introduced on this road, for the benefit of passengers. I have Frequently de- scribcd the soroche. or mountain sickness. from which few travellers il the Andes escape. It IS sometime called the land form of sea sickness. One gets over it In a few days. but in short journey the sickness is very acute and for per sons of weak heart, it is somewhat dar- cerous. To overcome the effect of tie auic,x ascent and the great altitude it is proposed to have oxygen compartnents fin the passcnger cars. Passensers Tn these will have in the. air they breathe the same proportions of oxygen as at soa level.

MEDAL FOR "sARAH'

Paris, October 5.--The redistribution of the French fleet through the send ing of the North Sea squadron to the Mediterranean has left the defence cf the channel coast and the Bay of Bis cay to the destroyers and submarines.
 Cherbourg has been selected as the base for fleet of twenty four of these swift craft and a large number of sub marines These destroyers. which will be known as the notilla squadron os the channel, will be charged to defend IIavre and protect such ports of com merce as Calais and Boulogne. Gran ville, Saint Malo. but especially Havrc and the mouth of the Seine.
 With the exception of two subma- rines to go to Toulon, all French sub marines will remain at Cherbourg to join with the destroyers in a defensive or offensive action in case of war.
 An American visitor to Paris TO- gently discovered that the red tape which binds offfclaldom there is even stronger than that to be found in OtHer CDuHlTitS. Ilo lfleu lO cdSn Il cabled order for s15 at a postoffice near the Opera and knowing that some proof of identity would be required produced successlvely:
 An International automobilist's per- init with photograph.
 A permit issued by the French Tour ing club with photograph.
 carff0oafa of 0muarclir, of bio tor-cycle.
 A license from the French customs
 A number of letters addressed to him.
 A letter of identity duly legalized by the U. S. consul general at Paris.
 These papers. he was told. were in- sufficient. He must bring two wit nesses. He found them. Two officials of a large firm, one of them furnished with a regular procuration, and the other with twenty letters addressed to him accompanied him to the postoffice but in vain. Finally one of the two witnesses, whose identity in turn was suspected, had stroke of genius. He went out and came back with an cleo tors card and immediately all difficult ties vanished.
 This incident Is commented on with much gusto by the Press and many have been the attempts to find the ex- planation of the magic power of an electors card. High officials, ques- toned, have nothing to say"

London. October 5-(special.)- Should the surgeon whose functions are supposed to be to preserve health and combat disease, enter into direct competition with the beauty speciallst2 The question Is arousing hot contro vcrsy both among the doctors and their potential patients. The doctors differ, as doctors are ever inclined to do. one of their brightest and most famous leaders says "Yes.' in very positive tones.
 There is a growing demand for the scientifically trained and fully quail fled beauty specialist" says Sir Ed ward Fraser head of the leading Lon don hospital specializing in skin troubles. Since the advent of the car bonic acid snow treatment and the dis covery of simply applied local anaes1het- ics, such as cocaine and eueaine,' says this noted authority, Patients in in- creaslng numbers come to us for the re- moval of facial blemishes. birth marks, moles etc., instead of wasting their money on unqualified operators.
 Tn the surgical department as well the staff are taking much more in- terest than in former years in plastic surgery. that Is, the repair of tissues either destroyed by disease or else ab- normal in growth. This, of course, is, in a way. beauty surgery The chief reason why the qualified man is being forced to compete more and more with the unqualified beauty specialist is that the public have become better educated in recent years as to the great danger of blood poisoning they run when they trust themselves to the knives and needles of those who have not received hospital training in surgical asepsls--i e.. perfect cleanliness in operating"

The barbers and hairdressers of France are incensed against the pro- prietors of drug stores for encroaching rpon their trade. At their annual congress in Paris they passed a stern resolution against the druggists. who protested that the barbers themselves had crossed far into pharmaceutical territory.
 French barbers have for a long time made practice of selling toilet goods in addition to performing toilet op- erations. At first they confined them selves to stocks of such articles as are directly connected with matters re- cognized as barbers' business, such as shaving paper. hair ointments, and so on. But little by little they have ex- tended their line until 1t now covers not only the head and face. but the hands, feet and body as well.
