How to Grow Tall,

When the company grows weary Of
idle talk ask some Of the boys if they
wish to be instructed in the art Of
looking tall. 1t is a funny optical il
fusion that must be tried to be really
realized or understood, yet it is very
simple. It merely consists in raising
the shoulders. and it is astonishing
to see how the simple movement will
add to the appearance Of height.

Perhaps the earliest mention Of Il pa

a sort of ivory knife with a blunt edge

failed to cut it even, only requiring a

sharpness would make it often go out

The use Of a square sail makes a

times even in what seems a light breeze
horses can tow at an extra knot and
sometimes two knots. The rig is a
curious one. and 1t looks exceedingly
like a ship going astern. The yard Is
run up on the after side of the mast
and slfeeted so that the canvas stands
right away. The first one / saw struck
me as being rugged like that by acci-
dent rather than design. but SON

the same idea. l cannot make out

the curious circumstance of sailing so
much between tall trees enables them
to catch reflected down draught wind,

There was good deal of waiting about
in forming up the procession OF barges
which were going through and found
that a start was not contemplated for
nearly two hours.
Among the preparations for our sub
terranean journey of the hill was the
making of tenders for the bows of each
barge. These were more in the nature
of antenne than tenders, however: for
they were made by binding together
about half a dozen small tapering trees
and fixing bundle of them on each side
of the barge so that they stuck out
about four feet sloping aft like a
dragging oar. / was a bit mystified

they could work.

was getting up and scuddlng clouds
from time to time obscured the rising
moon. l walked through the steeply
built town and then followed the river
and sat down by "A bridge. Suddenly and
silently did a weird apparition appear.
There on the bridge a gliding ship with
sail squared to the wind showed its
strange shape against the lighted sky
and vanished into the darkness beyond
the river on the other side. Hastily re-
solving that I would never more drink

some enterprising skipper to push on a
