SWIM FROM CHAIN BRIDGE
THE AQUEDUCT SPAN
Frederick and Leonard Schenkel, 12

Unusual Feat.

An unusual swimming feat was ac-
complished last Sunday on the Potomac
river, when Frederick Schenkel, twelve

fourteen. of 1885 sth street, undertook
to swim from the Chain bridge to the
Aqueduct bridge. accompanied by two
canoes. one padded by Perry Colman
and the other by Frank Beck.
The boys are all encamped on the
Virginia shore across from Fletcher's
The Schenkel boys for some time past
have been claiming that they would
swim the distance, and last Sunday
about o'clock the start was made.
They entered the water just this side
of Chain bridge at o'clock and at
7:15 reached the Aqueduct bridge, TAX
ing just two hours and fifteen minutes
for the trip.
Just to show the pluck of the little
fellows when they had reached Classy
camp young Leonard complained of a
cramp, and his brother asked him
where it was. He replied that it was
in his leg. and Frederick told him to
keep on swimming and, if it did not
pass away. to take hold of one of the
canoes. 1t soon passed away and the
trip was continued without accident.
At the end of their swim they were
wrapped in bathrobes and blankets
and padded back to their camp, where
they received the congratulations of
the many campers on the river.

Canning factories in Nomini and Low
er Machodoc creeks and at other points
along the lower Potomac are busily
engaged in packing tomatoes for con-
sumption in this clay and vicinity, dur
ing the fall and winter. River steam
ers are bringing the packed goods here
in large quantities.
The steamer Majestic brought yes
terday about 1900 cases of this year s
tomato pack. consigned to local deal
ers. For the next two or three weeks
the river landing steamers will have
aboard large quantities of canned goods
each trip. Sailing vessels also are load
ing canned tomatoes at river points for
this city and Baltimore
Managers of the lower Potomac pack
ing plants state that owing to the
poor yield of tomatoes in the country
along the river, the pack this year will
be considerably below the average in
quantity. A new packing plant recent
ly erected at Parhams point, on Lower
Machodoc creek. is now in operation
and is shipping much of it's output to
the market here.

The Northern Cross.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
We have heard SO much of the south
ern cross that we sometimes forget
that there Is also a northern cross. OF
course, the southern cross Is more ia
nous and conspicuous but the north
ern cross is not only large, but very
symmetrical. This northern crux is
formed by Ave fairly noticeable stars,
the brightest of which-Arided or
Deneb--marks the top. The second
brightest Of these five suns sparkles
at the bottom. being known as AIbireo.
The three other stars are named Gam
ma, Delta and Epsilon.
Firmamentally, this northern cross
lies against the remote background of
the cleaning Milky Way, the bright
blue star Vega being upon one side and
the sun Affair upon the other side of II,
Affair sparkling nearer the horizon
than Is Vega. The northern cross is
situated in the constellation Of Cygnus
constellation that Is almost wholly
occupied by the cross Viewed upon
clear. moonless evening the resem-
blance of this sky figure to a frma-
mental cross is remarkable. 1t may be
somewhat difficult at first to find 1t
but 1t is certainly wen worth the time
and effort to make the search

To one who's constituted right

Jim Wilkins had patch of beans
and artichokes and other greens,
the finest in the countryside; in it
he took an honest pride. One
night ST Pennypacker's COW,
which has low, retreating brow,
went bullying into Wilkins yard,
when no night Waterman was on
guard. At dawn, when Jimuel
arose and through the window
pushed his nose to gaze upon his
garden sass he found but ruin
there, alas! | thought to hear
him rant and swear, and see him
paw and tear his hair, but he sur
veyed with manful grin the
wreckage that the place was in.
How thankful l should be- said
he, ''she didn't eat my cherry tree!
She spared the clothesline and the
pump; why should | have a dole

this we'll. and in doing so has been put
to much trouble and expense, and now
the District is preparing to close the
