the task la 1901,
Bnrgeaa started from 8outb Fore
nan. Dorer. flfteeo mlnatea paat 11
o'clock the morning of Sept. 5. He
landed at La Cbatele. a Uttle village
two miles east of Cape Grla Kes, at
ten mlnatea before 10 o'clock tbe
morning of the 6th, accomplishing the
passage la 22 hours 33 minutes. A mo
tor boat accompanied the swimmer,
andJtaeaUmate4JhattrjBeai
owing to tbe algsag coarse be was
compelled to take because1 of baffling
tides, covered sixty miles.
Throughout the trip Bnrgeaa waa fa
vored by a calm sea, but a strong tide
waa running, and a severe strain waa
put on the swimmer to get paat tbe
' Goodwin sands. Twice' be waa attack
ed by lllnesa and several times waa
held to hla task only by tbe strongest
will power and tbe encouraging words
of the men In the boat.,
- For the trip across tbe channel Bur
gee waa well greased. -He wore a
pair of goggles and a robber bathing
; cap. A party of eleven accompanied
him la the motorboat
8wlmmlng tbe English channel la
not like taking a dip In tbe surf at
. eosae aea side resort, a dash through, a
nice calm lake -or a swim from one
aide of the river to tbe other. Nats
Hon on a 'rough day In tbe tempestu
ous Atlantic ocean gives an Idea of
the European feat, but still It lacks
some of tbe essential features that
- have made tbe aquatic Marathon uo
swum by so many.
, Tbe English channel is probably the
. best body of water known to tborougb
- ly try tbe capabilities of a swimmer.
. First there Is necessary the ability to
swim. and swim well. Then comes
endurance, a potential factor, as tbe
sailors the world over know tbe chan
nel as one of the stormiest bits of wa
ter to be encountered. The historic
bay of Biscay la often peaceful, the
English channel seldom so. ' r, -
It Is the strong and varying current
la the English channel that renders
the crossing so difficult, even, in fact,
for vessels. While tbe distance from
v ci iv awSBassvaaa am van aa . aaa. uvu V "n
twenty miles, tbe tide snd current
sweep tbe swimmers back and forth,
op and down the course, almost at
will at time. Captain Webb la estJ
' mated to have covered almost forty
miles when be swam tbe channel.
Of course no story Is complete with
out mention of Captain Paul Boyton.
The latter was tbe flint man to croes
the channel, but he did it In his fa
mous rubber air Inflated suit.
Statistics give a faint Idea to the no
initiated of the hardships involved. Be
low are a few of tbe requisites:
Food. Swimmers must be able) to
take food la the water without tbe
admixture of salt water. In which case
seasickness usually results.
Eyes. The eyes most be accustomed
to aalt water, and In addition a can
vas helmet with glass eyes la gener
ally need, protecting tbe ears as well.
Head and Brain. A thin rubber
Skullcap Is generally used to keep the
bead and brain warm and prevent
shivers.
nand and .Peet Because of the
suffering from cold tbe hands and
feet, together with the stomach, neck,
back of, the bead and outsldes of tbe
ears, are usually anointed with tar,
. the inside of tbe sera being plugged
. with soft waa, held In by wadding.
- Body. The body Is smeared with
Cassia n tallow In order to retain the
natural beat as long as poadhle, tnd
lard Is used as a second dressing.
Tsll of the Ptarmigan,
One of the most entertaining of chap-
tors In natural history is that, which
relates to 4 the many curious 1 meana
that birds and other-animals possess
of deceiving tbe eyas of their enemies.
Attention may bo called to the fol
lowing retoarkable instance: .
When the ptarmigan puts on its win
ter dress it has a black tall. , , Qne
might suppose, that this would aUract
attention to the bird crouching on the
snow, but to fact It serves Tot Con
cealment' Every projection oh a snow
Held casta a dark abadow, and that Is
what tbe tall of tbe motionless ptarmi
gan looks Ilka., the body of the bird
resembling a mere bump on the white
background. Exchange.

Hsv to Ceek Prunae.
A aooaewtfe has this to say about
prunes:
"Seldom have I found even so called
stewed pree properly rooked abroad.
They aboiid never be boiled. That
spoils tbe flavor. This Is tbe way we
Western cooks atew them: t'leause
thoroughly, soak la water teu or twelve
hours, adding a little granulated aunarf
wbea patting to soak. for. although
the fruit to eweet enough yet experi
ence has staywa that the added sugar
changes by chemical process Into fruit
sugar and brtaga out better tbe flavor
of the fruit After soaking tbe fruit
will assume Its full alae and la ready
to be simmered on the back of tbe
stove. Do not boll prune. That
what spoils them. Simmer, simmer
only. Keep lid on. Shake gently. Ito
net stir and never let boil. When
tender they are ready for the table.
"Servo cold, and a little cream will
make them more delicious. Added
Juat before simmering, a little sliced
lemon or orange gives a rich color and
flavor to the sirup. Many housekeep
era think that If tbey pay a fancy
price for large prunes they secure fruit
of better flavor, but tbe small varte-
Uea are frequently Just aa sweet and
Just aa finely flavored.'
One Woman Way.
"A new dish every 'day" waa the
self Imposed task of a young wife who
waa la posse ssloa of a new home and
plenty of time.
. Although she had never cooked be
fore in her life, her ahtnlng ne
kitchen - waa a ttfre she could not
resist much to the delight of her, hus
band and friends.
She bought cookbooks, studied In
gredients and proportions and de
voured ma ga sines devoted to things
culinary. In the end she developed
Into a real wizard of 1 cook, and she
originated dainties that sent tbe most
blase of eplcares la to ecstasies of en
joyment.
She discovered that possibilities of
food combinations are practically In
exhaustible, and she still pursues tbe
rule of "something new every day"
a rule entailing very little extra labor
and a world of enjoyment.

at Pittsburg. Bamsdell won tbe 100
yard and 220 yard championships in
England, but met with ill luck In tbe
Edinburgh (Scotland) races, where tbe
runners received too much of a handi
cap on him.
Clarke Takes Many Chance.
Fred Clarke Is one of tbe few out
fielders who once In awhile dare shoot
the ball In to second base when
runner tarns thst bag instead of al
ways making tbe conventional return
to third. Tbe play calls for quick per
ception and some boldness and is a
departure from conservatism which
most outfielders haven't tbe rapid Judg
ment to chance.
BASEBALL QUIPS.
John Dovey. former part owner of
the Boston National League club, is
now a scout for tbe Louisville team.
Connie Mack says he wouldn't psy
f22.r00 for a whole league. That's
a roundabout way of taking a alam

Harry Truby. tbe old Chicago
player who Is now an umpire, had a
run la with a player tbe other day.
When the player showed fight. Truby
as id: "Go and sit down. ' I can give
you rorks snd 111 take buns and run
yon out of tbe park."

As a consequence the women talk
about cooks and clothes and the men
about weather and women.

Many otherwise polite ersone feel
that tbey ran be rude when engaged
in a telephone conversation. With the
first "Hello" many a man and woman

garment that did not lit them.
If the "central" were to record all
that she hear and all that la said to
ber It would make aotne of ua blush
for shame. While men frequently

many women who. while they do not
giv vent to profanity, so fr ropy tbe
manners or the male sex that they
scresm like shrews at "central" If ah
nappena to give them the wrong uum-
oer or interrupts theu before they
hav finished talking.
That the ways of telephones and the
persona who ojierate them are trying
to tme'a temper no one can deny, but
the Irritoblllty that manifests Itself in
outward Beech I not a requisite of
me proper appreciation and us of tbe

pernicious nni.it which most people c
quire unconsciously. us remember
