STILT WALKIN3
In Some Parts of Franco It la an Ab
solute Necessity
In some parts of the world partic
ularly in the low districts of France
stilt walking is a necessity In Gas
cony there are great level plains cov
ered with stunted bushes of dry
heath These waste lands have a soil
that is so permeable so soft and yield
ing that the slightest fall of rain
makes them practically Impassable by
ordinary methods of pedestriaulsm
But these wastes must be traversed
at all seasons by the poor people of
Gascony and necessity has according j
ly made the Gascons a stilt walking
people and men women and children
may be seen at all seasons of the year
stuck upon high stilts trudging
through the waste lands carrying bas
kets bundles and the like Thq stilts
used are about five feet long and often
longer
The shepherds of Landes all go on
stilts The shepherd Is provided with
a stout staff that answers for many
purposes At the proper place in the
staff Is a flap which makes a com
fortable seat when turned down On
this the shepherd quietly sits and
watches his Hock and while he sits
up there he knits or spins with a dis
taff thrust In his girdle
The Landes stilt walker can do mar
velous things with these five foot leg
extensions no can run with a speed
that will tax a horse pick up a pebble
or pluck a flower as the cowboy
reaches to the earth from his pony and
he can drop to the ground level and
regain the perpendicular as quickly as
a boy can turn a handspring Chicago

WRECKED VESSELS
Difficulties That Beset tbe Work of
the Salvers
What it means to salve a wreck ia
something that few outside of prac
tical seamen can properly appreciate
The wreck is a ponderous unwieldy
mountain of steel and oak weighing
between 3000 and 12000 tons often
I dangerous for any vessel to approach
and this must be lifted bodily and
floated from the decks of pitching un
stable scows and barges The wreck
may be submerged beneath fifteen or
thirty feet of water and so stove in
that divers must go down and effect
temporary repairs before it can be
raised It may be a wreck so shat
tered that it is not worth raising so
Jhat the wreckers work consists mere
Jy In blowing up the hulk and re
moving it as a menace to navigation
Or the vessel may be fairly intact but
sunk too deep to make attempt at
raising advisable the wreckers work
consisting in salving valuable cargo
Often the wreck is one not submerged
at all A ship may have run on to a
reef where it lies nose on a crag and
stern afloat rising and falling on the
