"Stale". Athletes.

s,Athletes, when training for any
particular stunt should practice for
short periods of time if they desire the
best results. Some interesting ex
periments on this subject have been
carried out by DR.. X. S. Lashley OF
Johns Hopkins university. AcQuisi'
ton Of skill in archery was selected
as the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another 20 shots per day; and
the third, 40 shots. The results showed
conclusively that the group shooting
only five times day improved in &C.
curacy with less expenditure Of time
In practice than was required by
either of the other groups for the same
improvement. A report on the expert
ments says: 'The relatively greater
efficiency of short periods of practice
continuing for many days is in &C.
cordance with the results of the study
of animals and Of speech habits in
man, and indicates that in training to
muscular feats, in both animals and
men, the length Of practice periods re-
quired is usually too great for maxi
mum efficiency"

LAND IS TO Be RECLAIMED
System OF Irrigation Will Restore Fer
t'ity to the Valley of the
Euphrates.

For several years before the wal
began the Turkish government was
building irrigation dams across the
Euphrates, reopening the old Babylo
man canals which had long been filled
with sand, and building new canals
to reclaim the country. When the
war broke out work upon this great
irrigation project ceased. After the
war it will doubtless be resumed, and
one may easily imagine the changes
which will then take place. All OF
that wonderfully fertile valley will be
reclaimed. The wide plains, where
now the herds of the Bedouin find
scant pasturage, will be dotted with
date groves and grain fields. and mil

SNOW HITS FORESTS.
Heavy Fall During Winter Causes
Big Damage.
Logging and Milling Operations Ham.

Timber Sale Receipts-Not
Without Beneficial Side.

Washington.-Acco to forest
service officials, the unusually heavy
snowfall which has signalized the past
winter in most of the West has mate.
rally affected national forest business.
Timber sale receipts have decreased
in some regions because logging and
milling operations have been ham
pered by deep snow and exceptionally
cold weather. The same factors have
given stockmen using the national for
est ranges much concern, although as
yet there have been no severe live
stock losses reported. The foresight
Of the stockmen in providing winter

makes recurrence of the former i'm

trails, telephone lines and other per.
manent improvements are not yet
known, but undoubtedly are heavier
than usual and their repairs will make
much spring work for the rangers.
Most of the railroads in crossing the
mountains of the Northwest run for
considerable distances through the ma.
tional forests. Reports from the for.
est officers show that some of the
roads have had a strenuous struggle
with the snow to keep the lines open.
The great rotaries have had hard
work to plow through the huge drifts.
Snowslides have swept down the steep
slopes, filling the cuts. burying the
tracks to great depth, and not only
blocking all traffic but in several
cases destroying life and property,
These slides usually occur on slopes
where fire has destroyed the timber,
leaving nothing to hold the snow in
place, according to the forestry off.
Gals, who assert that thrifty stand
of timber on the mountain sides is
the best possible safeguard against
these destructive avalanches.
The deep snow Is not without it's
beneficial side, say the forest officers.
1t will lie long on the slopes and
ridges, keeping the ground moist until
late in the spring, and thus greatly
reducing the danger Of early fires
which sometimes occur with serious
consequences. A spring fire usually
destroys little timber, either green or
dead, but sweeps rapidly over stump
land and old burns, feeding on the
dead vegetation Of the preceding year.
Its menace to property and life in re-
mote settlements has been demon.
strated BY keeping the ground moist
until it is covered with green vegeta.
ton through which fire will not run,
the great snowbanks become active
agents in preventing spring fires.

TWO MEN DROWN WHEN HALIeuT BOAT WRECKED
 lN A FIERCE sToRM

Captain Halvor Owe and Helmer Larson lost their lives on Thursday of last week. says the Petersburg Re port, when the halibut boat W. N. was wrecked off Cape Bendel. Pete Nelson, the surviving member of the crew, was washed asore and made his way to Rake, enduring two days of extreme hardships.
 Nelson reached Petersburg Thurs day morning, being brought over from Rake by Captain Fay Beyers in the launch Emerald.
 The wreck occurred at o'clock in the morning on January eth. While the storm was raging, the engine of the gas boat had stopped and the craft was helpless. Nelson put on a life preserver and when the boat struck rocks and was swamped he was washed ashore.
 The captain and Larsen. although both good swimmers. were washed under and the bodies were not seen by Nelson who stayed in the vicinity for some time, in the hopes of their drifting in. Nelson then started out any made his way along the beach and through the brush to Rake, where he arrived forty-eight hours later. Dur ing all of this time he was without food or fire. clothes soaked with sea water and hatless. Despite the awful hardships of the trip. he finally arriv- ed at Rake, but, as he expressed 1t, he was nearly all in." He had also sustained some bad bruises In getting from the wreck to tho shore.
 Captain Owe and Helmer Larsen were each probably between twenty. two and twenty-six pears of age, and unmarried. They leave relatives llv. ing near Haugesund. Norway, but whether any in the country was not learned.
 The schooner Fran. Captain O. Ben eon, prepared to leave last night for the scene of tho wreck to make a search for the bodies.
 The W. N. belonged to the three men composing the crew. They had purchased the boat recently, 1t hay ing formerly belonged to Captain VII. liam Norman, of Ketchikan.

FULL ACCOUNT OF WRECK OF VoLANTE
 IS RECEIVED HERE

The full account of the wreck of the steamer Volante, was printed in cable report Ih The Empire of re- cent date has been received in Ju- neau. The following Is taken from the Petersburg Report:
 "The volante. in tow of the Pen gnin and Gioa. left Petersburg at 12 o'clock on January Q, bound for Sit ka. At about 9:3O that night, off VII son Cove, Q terrific gale struck the vessels and they were turned back to seek shelter at Point Gardner or at Tyee Harbor The towline between the schooner and gas boats parted and at tho same time the Penguin sprang a bad leak. She was forced to drop her tow line and make for Tyee Harbor, with the crew at the pumps to keep her afloat.
 Tho Gjoa succeeded in passing Q new line to the schooner. but this al- SO soon parted The Volante drifted broadside toward Yasha Island Both anchors were let so. paying out sixty fathoms Of chain; but failed to hold, and the vessel drifted past the point of the island toward the open sea.
 The Gioa had in the meantime passed third towline to the schoon- CT. but was unable to hold her from drifting. It was difficult. on account of the mountainous seas. to launch the life boats. but finally this was ac- compllshed, and all hands were gotten aboard after the tow line had been dropped from the schooner as a sig. nal to the Gjoa, which answered her promptly by coming back and pick ing up the crew. The life boat had then to be cut loose.
 In an effort to stand by tho Volante the sails of the Gjoa were hoisted but were soon torn to shreds by the gale. and in order to save the lives of the two crews 1t was found neces 'ary to make for Tyee.
 The gale had increased, and at Tyee all of the boats In the harbor except the Penguin. including the can nery tender Carmen, had drifted on shore.

 "They can stay under water for 72 hours" he said. "yes. three days, with put any inconvenience to the crew rom lack of air. The D boats are good for runs of 24 hours under wa er."
 "The E boats make 72 just as easily. During these long deep water runs hey thread their way through the skagerran. or skirt around Teneriffe md past Gibraltar with as much ease under water as if afloat.
 "The direction and proximity or dis- tance from land are all determined with mathematical accuracy by the science of navigation, and the steer Ing goes on as easily under water as above"
