MIN 20 speak OF his feat az walking
on the water are the propellers which
he fastens TO his ankles, enabling him
to travel against the current as we'll

These propellers. constructed OF
aluminium, consist OF several wings.
which, when he lifts his foot, fold
close against the ankle, offering no
resistance But when he pushes
down and backward with his foot the
wings spread far enough to form a
cup which catches the water and pro-
pels him along. The two propellers
for the ankles weigh only three
fourths OF pound. Sommerfeld says
The rubber body weighs about four
pounds.

.MISSOURIAN, 62,
WALKS IN WATER
Has Specially Constructed Life.
Belt Under Arms and Wings
on Feet as Pr0pellers

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 18.--August Som
merfeld, 62 years old, went walking
no, not swimming-in the deep wa
tiers of the Meramec river at Stanton.
Mo-, Sunday, and caught soft
sheiled turtle with hump on Its
back like q camels.
He says II Is the only turtle Of the
kind ever captured, so far as history
has recorded, and as for walking on
the water he claims he Is the pioneer
except for one such feat mentioned in
the Book Of Books.
Sommerfeld keeps himself afioat In
partly on the water. The lower two
thirds OF his body Is submerged and
the upper onethird is above the
water. Even so, he says, he can steI
fully dressed into the waters OF the
Mississippi, shoulder his gun, hunt
duck UP stream or down stream, slip
ping quietly upon them because they
do not recognize that he 10 q man
and when he has shot them walk To
where they float on the water and
put them In his game bag. Or he
can reach the best fishing places
without using a boat.
When he IL tired and hungry he
turns his face down stream and drifts
leisurely along while he eats his
lunch from the knapsack on his
shoulder, takes drink Of his favor
tie brew and then smokes IN after
dinner cigar. And Sommerfeld has
photographs OF himself to prove that
he does all this.
sommerfeld keeps himself afioat In
the water with q specially constructed
inflated rubber life preserver fas-
tened around his body. This buoy.
which is made in two semicircular
sections, il very thin At the lower
edge where II fits closely to his body,
but Il widens upward and under his
arms. When II H. inflated II IL seven
inches thick. This arrangement, he
says, enables him TO float upright In
the water easily.
So far, any one could do as well az
Sommerfeld as long a. they were
going down stream. But the peculiar

by old soldiers who saw the carnage
at Gettysburg.
But the tactics OF the present day
are SO vastly different from those of
even q few years ago, that these
things will happen only through error
and cannot be the general rule.
While devices for killing have I'm
proved In eflciency, defensive appli.
ances have kept pace and In addition
to this great strides have been made
In hospital. sanitary and commissary
departments, ali of which tend to keep
down the death rate.
SO, It may appear after all that
war Is Just plain war, as II always
has been, without much difference
In any part Of It except the mode
OF killing and that the terrible part
Of 1t lies not 50 much In the new SCI
entifc appliances for destruction as
in the immense numbers Of men en-
gagged.
