Riding the Combers.

AS the very strongest man in the
world is a weakling in the grasp of a
good-sized comber, such waves must
be outwitted, not outwrestled. And.
to be at home in the breakers, even
beyond your depth, it is only neces-
sary to know what wave really is
and where it is weak. Many people
believe their eyes, and are sure that
a wave travels. The water moves up
and down, and the motion forward.
but the water doesn't travel. Conse-
quently, If you get beyond the break
ers, the waves will go up and down
and carry you with them, but won't
sweep you forward.
Near the shore the waves behave
differently; they curl over the break
and there the water, as we'll az the
motion, travels. And, if you are Just
at the curling-point, the water will
pick you up and sweep you in, and
you can literally ride the waves. thnn
which there is no finer sport in the
sea. But woe unto you If you get a
bit ahead Of the curling wave-front.
for then you will be turned over and
twisted around and flung to the bot.
tom.
Hence, it is wise to experiment with
little waves first and learn Just where
they do break and just where they
actually commence to exert forward
movement on your body before test.

A SQUIRREL WITH NERVE.
Survived It's Wild Leap Over a Cliff to
Escape Captivity.

II may not be generally known that
the squirrel can leap from a great
height, break its fall in its descent ami
alight uninjured. a naturalist once
saw a squirrel leap from a treetop
thirty feet high, drop to the ground
and run up another tree for safety.
Some boys in Mexico caught a black
squirrel nearly as big as cat. 1t had
once escaped from them by leaping
from the top Of a sixty foot pine tree.
They thought 1t bewitched and want
ed to throw 1t down a precipice sew
eral hundred feet deep. A traveller
interviewed to obtain fair play.
The squirrel was conveyed in a pill
lowcase TO the edge OF the cliff, then
let out, that he might take the choice
between captivity and the terrible
leap. The crouchlng squirrel looked
down the abyss, then backward and
sideways, his eyes glistening.
Seeing no escape except In front, he
took a flying leap into space and flut
tered rather than fell into the abyss
His legs worked like those OF a swim
ming dog, but faster, while his tail,
slightly elevated, spread out like fan.
He landed on ledge Of limestone,
where he could be seen squatting on
his hind legs and smoothing his ruff
fed fur, after which he made for the
creek, drank and scampered away into
the willow thicket.-London Answers.

The large sum of 5000, 900 ac'
cruing from the sale of state bonds
has been appropriated by the present
General Assembly for the construct
ion, reconstruction and maintenance
of state highways. This appropria-
ton is known as the State Highway
Construction Loan and was approx
ed by the people at the state election
last November. There was little OF
no work on state roads during the
year of 1911, owing to lack oi
funds, not that the work done in
previous years, had completed the
duties of the State Board of Public
Highways. In the act which re-
Gently passed the General Assembly,
which was known as the Arnold
Road bill, a number of highways
were specified as those, which shall
be improved as soon as possible.
The highways on the list that are OF
particular interest to the people OF
the section, where this paper circu
lates,are the Danielson Pike, extend
ing from Hopkins Mills to the Con-
necticut line, five miles. The Plain
field Pike extending from Thornton
to the Connecticut line, eighteen
miles. A section of rQad in Smith
field and North Smithfeld, nine
miles in length, which will give a
macadam highway from Greenville
to Woonsocket and the completion
of the Putnam Pike from point
several miles west of Chepachet to
the Connecticut state line. Oh
course there are other highways III
various parts of the state that will
be benefited by the provisions OF
this act. Senator Edward Z
Arnold, of Coventry, did much ii
securing the passage of this act III
the General Assembly and to him
should be given much credit for the
very excellent judgment used in
planning the bill.
