The attraction of tho water li so strongly felt by most people that It Is one of the arguments advanced by certain scientists for tho belief that the original homo of all forms of life, In cluding tho human race, was In the sea. When n man Is reveling In tho sensa tion of being rocked by the waves he Is satisfying an Instinct Inherited from ancestors who a fow million years ago lived in warm, shallow seas. However, !t Is not ncccssnry to go back so far as that. There aro reasons enough for liking the water In summer time with out seeking nti explanation In atavistic tendencies. YBubiN BROS.

They will take fewer chances If they know that they will bo helpless In the water. The authorities of Amherst college have a different be lief as to the desirability of knowing how to swim. They have made swim ming one of the compulsory studies at Amherst. This college was tho tlrst to establish compulsory gymnasium work, nml all other colleges In this country now require that. Will swimming also become tho rule In the colleger? Tho theory that men will avoid danger of drowning If they do not know bow to swim does not seem to be supported by the facts. Only a small proportion of BOO deaths from drowning tho past sum mer were duo to fooltmrdluess of swim mers.

Unlley, of thu Agricultural College of Cornell University, has asked a hundred and Ilfty students who were bred on the farm and do not Intend to return why they seek occupation else where. He has also asked seventy town-bred students who Intend to be farmers, and two hundred farm-bred students who Intend to return, why they choose farm life The Investiga tion Is not Intended to show anything about tho total migration from town to country and from country to town. Tho conclusion which can safely bo drawn Is that tho argument lu conviction, weight nud nobility of Ideals Is with those who aro going to be farmers. The replies of the students, some of which Prof. Unlley quotes In tho Century Mag azine, are marked by a line sense of what Is worth while In life closeness to nature, Independence nud healthful physical labor. Tho alleged social ad vantages desired by young men seeking the city aro seen, by these other young men who have tried them, to he perhaps less helpful lu the development of char acter than the simple relations of the farmer with his few neighbors. Very few of the young men who plan to be farmers say much about making money, whereas -10 per cent of thoso who seek the city give the money consideration as a principal reason. Those who like the farm maintain that there Is a com petence for tho good farmer, hut they seek other things thnn lnrgo Incomes. "I am Imprcsicd lu these replies," says Prof, Italley, "with tho recurrence of such Ideals as love of tho work that one Is doing, education, study, personal In fluence, happiness, service, home. With these young men their business Is to bo an affair of tho heart. We hear much about the greed of money and power and the great dangers that threaten our runaway society; but I wonder whether lu the end tho countryman will not atlll have hold of at least one of tho reins."
