DANIELS
the c It a m
pion swimmer who
won honors for
America at the
Olympic games in
England breaking
the Olympic record
in the 100 meter
swim has aston
ished the public by
sensational p e r
formances on sev

CHAKLES II DANIELS caSlOHS At the
Olympic games In St Louis iu 190 1 he
made a worlds record swimming 220
yards in 2 minutes -1-1 1 5 seconds lie
gave the foreign swimmers another
surprise at the games in Athens in
1900 when he swam away from them
and took the 100 yards race Daniels
Is a member of the New York Athletic
winning the worlds
tour cnampionship lias done much
to
popularize swimming as a sport in
this country and to give it a leading
place in the programmes of organiza
tions devoted to athletics nis style
Is much praised by experts and his
ability as a swimmer is all the more
remarkable because he started to swim
only about six years ago His father
a member of the Knickerbocker club
brought him to its pool and intrust
ed him to the care of Professor
Alex Moffert asking the coach to
teach his boy how to swim Daniels
says that the first time he got in the
pool he swallowed enough water to
sink a warship But after that he de
termined to loarn the watery art and
spent day after day practicing
After a careful study of the various
strokes used for speed swimming
Daniels put into practice certain ideas
of his own that he had gained while
practicing lie learned the English
racing stroke and compared its re
sults with several other strokes that
are used in various parts of the world
Finally he came to the conclusion that
the crawl and the trudgeon strokes were
the best ones to use in racing
The death of Bishop Henry Codman
Totter of New York has called forth
r i
BISHOP HENKT CODMAN POTTER
many anecdotes indicating the broad
sympathies and kindly heart of the
eminent scholar and divine On the
verj day before he was taken sick he
had gone out to carry some flowers to
a poor sick woman living near his
summer home at Ceoperstown X Y
The bishop was noted for his humor and
during the most dangerous stage of his
illness he was able to crack a joke now
and then A young newspaper Tvoman
who had arrived in New York from
the west was ouce sent to interview
Bishop Totter as her first assignment
She made an appointment by tele
phone but on account of other engage
ments was unable to be on time How
ever when she arrived she found the
bishop ready to receive her He cor
dially invited her to be seated and in
quired as to the exact nature of the
desired information
Then in his characteristic manner he
dictated his statement After the re
porter had finished writing she cour
teously offered to rt ad what she had
written The bishop insisted that he
knew it was correct and allowed it to
go without hearing it
As the reporter arose to take leave
she said graciously
I thank you Bishop Potter and
appreciate how much it means for a
busy person like yourself to give your
time to reporters
Patting her on the shoulder in a
fatherly manner he replied
My dear little woman we are both
earning our living
The breadth of Bishop Potters views
was indicated in the following recent
utterance in reply to a question as to
the present relgious outlook
I am persi ded he said that the
movement of religious thought today
In all lands is a movement progressive
toward a larger light and higher ideals
A great many communions are unload
ing formularies or dogmatic state
ments which are characteristic efforts
to substitute an infallible book for an
Infallible man the modern scholar hav
ing realized that no revelation can
really have a divine author unless it
is progressively illuminative This is
the point to be made clear by such a
discussion Personally I am in no
doubt as to the future triumphs of the

Greer is a liberal in his interpretation
and application of creeds and is pro
gressive and original in evolving new
ways of making the church more help
ful to all classes in the community as
was strikingly shown while he was
rector of St Bartholomews parish
The work done by this noted church
embraces a wide field of activities and
it was brought to its present level of
usefulness largely during the recto rate
of Bishop Greer which extended from
the year 1SSS to that of his consecra
tion as bishop He was born in Wheel
ing W Va in 1S44 and studied at
Washington college Pennsylvania
and at the Episcopal seminary at Gam
bier O He is finely preserved and
is often seen in the environs of New
York on horseback being very fond of
open air exercise which has done so
much to keep him vigorous He looks
more nke a business man than a cler
gyman and is an ecclesiastic whose
experience and surroundings have
given him an exceptionally broad de
velopment

Idea of the process by means of which
the modern navigator is enabled to ac
curately place the ships position at
a staled time on the chart Out of
sight of land a ships geographical po
sition is determined either by keeping
a careful record of the course steered
and the distance run known as dead
reckoning or by the combined use of
chronometer and sextant that is by
observation of the heavenly bodies
The operation of finding the latitude
and longitude of observation can be
performed in a number of waj s of
which the simplest and most conven
lent is by measuring the altitude of the
sun above the horizon at noon as is
indicated on the vernier of the sextant
and spoken of at sea as shooting the
sun An arithmetical computation by
the aid of logarithms is thus quickly
made which shows exactly how far
the ship is north or south of the equa
tor or in other words the latitude
Finding the longitude however is a
somewhat longer process An observa
tion is made either in the forenoon or
afternoon the chronometer time of the
horizon contact of the suns image be
ing noted A calculation is then made
which gives the exact time at the spot
where the ship happens to bo and as
the chronometer carried aboard shows
the exact time at Greenwich the prime
meridian of longitude the difference
between the two expresses in hours
and minutes easily convertible into
degrees and miles the distance east
or west of Greenwich
Having thus roughly speaking found
the latitude and longitude a dot placed
on the chart at the exact point where
the lines of latitude and longitude
cross denotes the ships position

Subject For Jokes
I wonder why it is says a young
gentleman who spends most of his lei
sure time studying human nature at a
populous street corner that a mans
hat is always regarded as a fit subject
for jok s Anything that happens to
his shoes is a serious matter and al
though his vest especially if it is out
of the usual iu design or color is
sometimes made the subject of pointed
remarks disaster to auy other garment
is regarded as a inattw of sympathy
But if he goes to church aud puts
down his hat at the end of his pew
where somebody kicks a dent in it
and knocks it live feet down the aisle
or if he places it carefully beside him
in a lecture room or theater and a
preoccupied young woman comes in
and sits down on it people laugh with
out seeming to feel the slightest sym
pathy for him or his sky piece
A man chasing his hat through the
street on a windy day will always at
tract a grinning unsympathetic crowd
ready to lay bets on the distance the
hat will travel before he catches up
or on the amount of damage it will
sustain before it is finally recovered
and so irritated does the owner be
come when he finds his vicious dabs
and grabs at it greeted with ironical
applause that he generally forgets to
thank the man who stops it by stamp
ing on it aud hands it back I be
lieve Joe Miller perpetrated jokes about
chasing the hat but the felts
aud cocked hats of Millers time did
not lend themselves readily to joking
purposes for when those old fashioned
headpieces were blown off they drop
ped to the ground and stayed there
A panama a stovepipe or even a derby
may run and fly by turns from Broad
way to the postotfice and attract as
much attention as a runaway team

her details during construction She
is one of the three sister ships the two
others being the Invincible and Inflexi

down in 1000 They are to all cruisers
of the past what the Dreadnought is
to all earlier battleships The Indom

sister ships are designed to be the
fastest largest and most heavily

guns each forty five feet long and
each capable of firing an S30 pound

ELIJAH AND THE RAVENS
A Story Which Did Not Fit This Par
ticular Ministers Case
isortn Carolina probably never
duced an abler preacher than
Francis L Ilawkes who once
pro-
Dr
was
pastor of Grace Episcopal church Now
York Short thick set swarthy black
eyed and black haired he was a strik
ing personage He was not only a
groat pulpit orator but considered the
best reader iu the New York episco
pacy His rather luxurious family de
terred him from accenting a bishopric
which would have otherwise been
tendered One day a delegation from a
Buffalo church waited upon him aud
Invited him to accept a pastorate in
that city
Well gentlemen other things being
satisfactory the question of accept
ance narrows down to a business mat
ter said Dr Hawkes What salary
do you offer
Dr Hawkes said the spokesman
we recognize that you have a hitrh
reputation and are willing to be lib
eral Our recent pastor received 2
500 but on account of your standing
we have decided to offer you r00
My good man cried the doctor
do you know what salary 1 am receiv
ing here
No sir
I get ir000 and this parsonage
and as I have an expensive family I
do not see my way clear to accept your
offer
The spokesman looked rather sheep
ish but made another essay
If we had known that sir we
would undoubtedly have looked else-
but you should remember that
the work of the Lord must be done
and as for providing for your family
you know the story of Elijah and the
ravcs
Now my friends responded the
clergyman quizzically I have made
the Bible my study ever since I was
twenty eight I have read it through
carefully and prayerfully over 100
times I remember the raven inci
dent perfectly but nowhere can 1 find
any reference to the Lords providing

THE CHARTER OAK
Bells Tolled and Funeral Dirges Played
When It Fell
The charter oak of nartford was a
white oak The story goes that when
James duke of York ascended the
throne of England and sent Andros to
take away all colonial charters Con
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers Andros was furious over this
defiance and Oct 31 1GS7 he returned
to the assembly hall of Hartford with
a body of soldiers and demanded in
stant surrender of the charter which
lay in a box on the table A hot dis
cussion followed Finally Andros
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper Then the candles
were suddenly extinguished and the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed in a disorderly crowd
into the hall There was a period of
wild confusion in the dark and when
the caudles were finally relighted no
charter was to be found It had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
concealed in the oak which ever after
ward bore its name
The oak was even then old When
the first settlers were clearing their
laud the Indians begged that it might
be spared It lias been the guide of
our ancestors for centuries they said
as to the time of planting our corn
When the leaves are the size of a
mouses ears then is the time to put
seed into the ground The Indians re
quest was granted and the tree after
ward becoming the custodian of the
lost charter became famous for all
time It fell in a windstorm Aug 21
1S30 and so deeply was it venerated
that at sunset on the day of its fall
the bells of the city were tolled and a
band of music played funeral dirges
over its ruins
At the time of its fall its circumfer
ence one foot from the ground was
twenty five feet and it was estimated
to be over GOO years old Kansas City
