VeHtriloquism is the art OF produc-
Ing tones and words without any mo-
ton OF the lips, so that the nearer Of
ten refers the sound to some other
place. The ventriloquist uses no in
strument, nor does the art depend
upon any peculiar structure OF the or
gans Of the voice. but upon dexterity.
The name is founded upon the mis-
taken supposition that the voice pro-
ceeds from the stomach. The art Of
the ventriloquist consists mainly In
taking deep inhalations Of breath. and
then allowing it to escape slowly. the
sounds Of the voice being modified BY
the muscles Of the throat and palate.

was known to the ancient Greeks a.

American navy lengthens, according to
Capt. Il. w. Scott. chaplain OF the new

are old and experienced. and they
think the use Of profanity the surest
way to accomplish the result"
The work OF the chaplaIns in the
navy, Captain Scott said, is along a
"big brother line. They deliver talks
at the Sunday services aboard ship
that might not be recognized by regu-

that the stern task is ended and
the fruits of achievement are ours,

"But to attain the consummation
Of the great work to which the

give thanks to Almighty God, re-
