Edward Uothery , the well-known sporting
man Is about to Introduce into this city nnd
vicinity thn new sport of "homing" or
plucon-llylng. to which , in the cast a irroat
deal ot attention Is now bolus paid. With
this end In view , ho some tlmo ngo purchased
of James Patterson , of the Game-Cock Inn
of Now York , n pair of excellent ulgeons for
which n number of great achievements In
the Hying line has been claimed. The male
Is n dark-blue check , numbered I ) 1573. Ho
is two yenis of ago and was imported from
Belgium. The female Is nlso a checker with
all the best features of nirood fiver. She was
n mate to Fnlr Plav , which flew from Stetiben-
vllle , O. , to Now York in six hours nnd
twenty minutes , two minutes behind the
fastest tlmo on record , made by Albright.
"Those birds were received some tlmo
.go nnd their progeny , It is expected , will
ntioduco the sport mentioned. The older
> lrds will be kept In their coteshecauso upon
being set at liberty they would certainly re-
'urn to their old home. The young ones ,
lowevor , will niter a time bo allowed certain
Iborty ot pinion , because in them , the lu-
itlnct peculiar to their species , will guide
.hem to return to this city. Mr. Uothcry yes
terday received three Inbands for Ins young
me * , one of which will bo placed on one of
.ho lees of each of the birds , nnd bo marked
> vlth a letter nnd number which will Indicate
.ho standing of each In the Federation of
American Pigeon Fivers. These numbers
nud letters nre changed every year. In a tow
weeks Mr. Uothery will be able to begin this
pott , and will commence probably with n
'Ay" from Lincoln , which , in tlio absence of
otnpoUng birds , will be made against time ,
t Is anticipated , however , that befoie long
hero will be n number of other bird-fanciers
n this vicinity who will also have n cote of
lycra and thus make more ccnernl a sport
which , In Now York , is attended with a
great deal ot pleasure.
One of the nearest admirers of "homing" is
_ t. B. Casty , ot Docorah , who Is the owner of
a promising bird. The latter has made a
number of remarkable flights , ono of which
was from Cedar llnplds homo , and from Bur
lington In the same direction , covering the
listunce at n rate ot about n mlle a minute.
It made two trips from St. Louis to Its home ,
'n one of which it made the journey In
irt'elvo hours. Mr. Kothery has not yet an-
jiounrod when the first test of his young fly
ers will be made , but it is expected that It
will take place long before the close of the
irosout warm season.
WHERE IS HANS YOUXG7 ,
His \Vlfe nnd Partner Anxiously Inquiring -
quiring Tor Him ,
Several days ngo THE BEE contained
an item to the effect that Hans Youup , a
saloon-keeper , whoso plaro is on the cor
ner of Douglas and Twelfth streets , had
been robbed on Seward street , near
Twenty-ninth , by footpads , of $104 in
money aud a gold watch nnd
chain. The police have since been in
vestigating the reported robbery , nnd the
further the investigations extended the
more convincing it became that Mr.
was nowhcro near the vicinity of Seward
street at the hour at which he claimed to
have been hold up. Ho asserted that
the robbery occurred between 11 and 12
o'clock. As a matter of fact Mr. Young
was seen emerging from Higgins1 joint
shortly after 12 o'clock midnight
with a Questionable femulo and from
that nll-night resort embarked
in a back for one of the disreputa
ble road house in the suburbs of the
city. Last night Mrs. Hans Young ap-r
poarcd at the police station in search of
her husband. She had not seen him for
several days and desired that the police
should search for him. Sbq declared
that Mr. Young had not been robbed as
ho had reported , and in proof of her as
sertion said she had the jewelry.
which ho claimed to have lost Her
story but confirmed the investigation
of the police oiliccrs. In
quiries at Young's saloon last night de
veloped the fact that Hans hail not been
about for several days anil that his part
ner , Hendrix , foil very much concerned
over several hundred dollars of the firm's
money which could not bo accounted for
Young's place is ono of the sixteen
which wcro notified last week to pay up

and American Smokers.
"Ono of the features of American street
lifo that strikes nn Englishman on first
arriving hero most f oroibly , " said a young
Londouor , whoso acquaintance I made at
the Palmer house nn evening or two ago ,
is the abundance of cigars. I was simply
astouned to observe , on my arrival hero ,
teamsters , porters , cabmen , eye , even
peddlers with handcarts , smoking cigars.
In England , you know , where cigars cost
just as much as they do here , a man whenever
never smokes anything on the street but
a cigar is looked upon as an cpicuro , and
if ho is not a gentleman of latides prouorty
Is regarded as a very extravagant fellow.
What do wo smoKot Why pipes , of
course. 1 know of fellows London fel
lows , too who are worth all the way
from 100 to 1,000 a year , who are in
veterate smokers , and who yet regard
cigars with about as much reverence as
you do diamonds , no doubt. The most
of them smoke two cigars at 3 pence or
0 cents apiece per day. No ; I must say
that the princely extravagance of the
American smoker , who , though ho may
bo too poor to buy himself a warm over
coat when the cold winds como , will
scorn to smoke n i > ipo on the street , floort
mo. In London if a costermonger or o
cabman appeared among his comrade !
with a lighted cigar in his mouth , he
would bo hooted from one end of the
street to the other for endeavoring to assume
sumo a luxury his circumstances in life
did not enntitle him to. "

The speaker was
spent forty years of his
within the limits of the
continent. Ho continued :
now that there were free
city ot Mexico bctoro Colum-
'covered America. Yet such is the
fact. There nre many things to bo scon In
the land to the south of us which show that
the Aztecs and the Montezumas wcro n
highly civilized people , and that they were
not only versed in many of the arts nud
sciences of the present day , but that they
were far in advance of us In many things in
which we think ourselves great A recent
publication ot the Smithsonian Institution
shows that oven the Chlrlijul Indians of the
Isthmus of Darlcn were versed In the science
ot metallurgy , nud that these people
understood the art of gold beating , and wcro
skilled In some degree in gold plating. Yet
they nre looked upon as a prehistoric people
and what knowledge we have of them is
gleaned principally from the graves of their
dead. Mexico abounds in attractldB for the
searcher after the antique. Nor is It neces
sary to go to the land of the "greasers" for
antiquities. One can find all that ho desires
to see in the states nnd territories of the
southwest As for scenery there Is nothing
In all the old world to compare with what the
United States has to offer. Not ono ma'i In
ten of those who will visit Europe this year
has ever looxed upon the grauduer of Nine-
nra Falls. Not one In fifty has seen the Yel
lowstone or the Voscnilto. The proportion
of those who hnvo visited the wonders of the
SierraMadro Is liillnltely less ; Bull think
that the strangest of nil Is the dense lenor-
anco of the local attractions about them
which characterizes nine-tenths of our citl-
ons who visit Europe annually.

.o bid farewell to n party ot friends who were
ibout to sail for Europe. They were all resl-
leutsofNew York and Pennsylvania , yet
.hey had never seen any moro of this conn-
rv than tbat section between Boston and
Washington. Their idea of the beauties of
.he Amerlcau scenery was confined to that
which they had been able to look nt while on
lying trips to Saratoga. Bar Harbor , Lennox
ind Lome Branch. Iheyeio going to
Europe to see the Alps and the Uhtne.
Thousands make similar trips every year.
Yet the scenery of the mountains of Penn-
ivlvanla Is Incomparably superior to any
hat the European continent can olfer.
There Is , to my mind , nothing so attractive
to tlio true American ns the mountain seen-
iry along the Susqtiehanna nnd Lchlgh val-
ey. A week spent In , exploring the attrac
tions along the Lehlgh Valley railroad would
astonish many of # ur migrating citizens.

The economic benefits pf the work per
formed by the
TJxiTnn STATES OEor.onicAi. sunvr.Y
are just beginning to bo appreciated by rail
road men who nro laying out new lines ot
railroad. The ofHclals ot the survey nro of
the opinion that within the next ten years
the center of all the railroad building In the
country will bo located In the southern
states. They base this opinion on the fact
that the calls for maps of the southern moun
tain ranges Is increasing rapidly. Thn maps
thus far prepared by the geological survey
cover the eastern coast line from the Mary
land boundary to the Georgian coast with the
oxcption of n small scctlohof Virginia. They
MO at present Issued only to those directly
Interested in the typography of the Appa
lachian range , yet thoie have been Issued al
ready upwards ot Sr oo maps of the re
gion. That Is to say about a hundred
different sets. These maps have all
been distributed to those directly Interested
In the building of new railroads. It Is said
that there are about twenty diltorent roads In
course of construction between the coal Folds
of the north and the seaboard of the
Ohio river. Ono gentleman who is inter
ested in theconstructlon of a road between
Charleston. S. C. and the mouth of the Big
Sandy on the Ohio , called at the office of the
survey a day or two ago nnd said tbat the
maps which had been furnished to his com
pany saved the corporation at least 510,000 In
preliminary surveys. From nil sections of
the south reports are constantly received of
the enormous value of the maps furnished by
the survey to topographical and civil engi
neers. The sentiment Is general that the
government waited too long before taking
the first steps to wards socin Ing acrurato maps
ot the topographical formation * ottt.io coun
try , nnd those who have the most nt stake
admit at last that the work of this olllco
Is o ) the utmost value to
the future development of the
railroad Interests. Besides the work which
has been done In the southern states the sur
vey has been extended well Into many sec
tions of the north and west Massachusetts
has been mapped on n scale of a square mile
to the Inch , through the joint work of the
state nnd the general government A field
party has just begun operations In south
eastern Iowa for the purpose of mapping that
state on a similar scale. Illinois and In
diana will , In nil probability , bo tbo next
states In which the surveys will bo under
taken. There Is a great difference In the
cost of the work In the various states. In the
south where the country Is broken by moun
tain ranges the cost Is about 512 a square
mile , while In the prairie states of the west
where the country Is flat the work can Ix )
performed at about S5 a square mile. It Is
the ultimate Intention of the bureau to pre
pare topographic maps uf the entire country.
Owlntr , however , to the necessary slowness of
the operations. It will bo many years be
fore the entire scheme of operations is
perfected. As fast ns the field operations in
each case are perfected and verified the
original maps are sent to > ( ho engraver and a
few copies are made for Immediate use.
Eventually there will b prepared an atlas of
each state. These , at lasses will be ot enor
mous value , not onrV tqrallroad engineers
but to all municipalities who have use for an
accurate topographic mapiof the country sur
rounding them. itttcA

ROOF LIFE N GOTHAM.
low the Hoofs of Houses Are Used
in New York.
From the editorial rooms of the New
York Mail and E\press the roofs of hun
dreds of houses may bo scon spreading
an all Hides , some high , others lo\v.
Amid the wilderness of smoking chim
neys , flapping clothes hung out to dry
and interwoven telegraph wires is enough
rubbish to fill in an aero of swamp land.
Old kettles , broken bottles , bricks , shoos ,
boots , tomnto cans and garbage make
; ip the conglomerate heap. The
'ow-roofed liovscs s.cem to bo the dump-
njj ground for the tenants of higher
buildings. In the tenement house clis-
irict the condition of tilings is much
worso. for tlio people habitually throw
: ho ashes and garbage out of their high
ivinuows upon" the roofs of the adjoining
houses. The tendency so natural simple
country folk to toss their ashes over a
neighbor's tenco lias como to be a prac-
ice with the city people also. The conn-
rvman , however , lias ono advantage
over his city brother ; ho can remedy the
y < lone him by tossing the
ruobish back , whereas this is
lardly nraotioablo in the city.
The only recourse loft the injured citizen
is to shovel it oil' into the street or upon
the roof of a house lower than his own.
Uoof lifo in Now York is a curious nnd
nstructivo .study , Few know how many
thousands of people do tholr daily work
on the housetops , unobserved by passers
in the streets. From the Mail and Ex
press windows at least ono hundred men
and wonum mav bo soon on neighboring
houses , busy with their various occupa
tions. Ou ono roof several woman arc
at their washing tubs , while others are
hanging up clothes to ilry. On hundreds
pt roofs long lin s of clothes are Happing
in the wind. The washing of this city is
itono upon tlio housetops , Besides the
washerwomen scores of telegraphic line
men are mending their wires.
At night time they swarm with human
beings. On the cast aide , whore there are
few or no public parks , the roofs serve
as play grounds for the poor. Workingmen -
men gather in gtoups to smoke their
pipes or play dominoes or checkers.
Women sit together , chatting , while
their childrod run about in play or
sprawl at their mothers Alices. Lvery
feature of park life at night may be scon
excepting tlio grcon trees and the foun
tains. Ou some housetops little gardens
have been oarofullv cultivated. Some of
them have graveled oaths between the
flower beds , where the people walk in the
evening.

AMERICA'S ACTUAL VOLCANO.
The Only Volcano In Operation On
the North American Continent A
Oront Geyser A Hcono of Desolation
elation Terrified People.
A correspondent of the Now York
Herald writes as follows from Kl
Paso : "I have just returned from the
scene of the only active volcano in
North America. Tlio trip was ono of
extraordinary hardship , accomplished in
the face of obstacles of which the entire
ab.suiicu of 11113- road , an arid desert of
ever ono hundred milo.s across , ujul tlio
bla/.ing sun of a tropical xono wore con
spicuous features. Tlio volcano lies
twelve miles , as the crow flics , from
Uavispc , in tlio state of Sonora , in the
extreme northwest corner of the Mexican
republic. A rough cstimato will place
the distance trom El Paso at four
hundred miles , calculating on a bate
lino. The rugged and desolate natuiuof
the country , the lufrcqucnoy of its
springs and the almost deadly heat that
exists there nine months out of the
twelve have effectually kept out thn
American prospector , although the
mountains are full of gold ; and uvm the
hardy Mexican has largely left it to its
primal solitude. Here and there are
scattering villages , of which IJavispo h a
typo. Tlio town lies southwest of Casa
Grande nnd is a heterogeneous collection
ot adobe shanties and 'jackals , ' half
under and half above Hie ground anil
roofed with brush. It contains about
twonty-iive hundred souls , if you count1"
a soul to each inhabitant. They are so
miserably poor and live in n condition of
such Indescribable squalor and perpetual
misery that their lot compares unfavora
bly with thn wandering coyote , thuir
icarost neighbor.
" \ \ o went by way of the Carralitos
iaclundii , on the Brltton-Davis riineh ,
lying about duo east of lUivlspu , in the
itate of Chihuahua. It was from this
. . ) oint that the real journey commenced.
To conceive the fatijnio and ardor of the
trip ono must add a blazing sun that
seared and shriveled thn very granite , a
parched and alkali-laden wind blowing
at midday and filling the throat witli its
smarting particles , and n reflection from
.he earth that was like the breath of a
lurnaco. Wo wore well supplied with
, vraps and tackle , which wo had frequent
occasion to use , for although it is pro
verbial that the burro can cross places
where angels fear to trend , wo were
obliged to abandon our pack-train almost
at the outset.
"Tho eighth day brought the explorers
nto the vicinity of Huvispo , but n little
prior to tins wo had the first intimation
of seismic disturbance in the shape of a
lluttisring tremor ot tlio earth. These
shocks , which were slight and nndulat-
'ing , increased in frequency as wo drew
near the town , until &circoly : an hour
ilapscd without a repetition of them.
i\'e came in sight of navispe about 10
o'clock in tlio morning , and the lirst
thing that mat our sight was a huddled
encampment of several hundred people
on the broad mesa that flanks
the town. Bavispo itself may bespoken
spoken of in the past tcnso , for it no
longer exists. Ou the 1st of last May ,
just at the gray of dawn , tlio villagers
were awakened by a Mckcning shudder
of the earth , followed by n quick tiemor
that reduced half of tlio abodes of the
place to ruins. Creeping out from the
wreck of thojr dwellings , they bought
safety on the level ground , where a sort
of encampment was formed , and thcnco
in tiino the entire village has migrated.
Since that morning ot desolation and
terror there has been no day unaccom
panied by an crirtliqmxkc.
"Sometimes it has been so violent as
to loosen masses of rock and open vast
fissures in the mountain side , ami some
times it is an almost imperceptible vibra
tion , but never has it entirely censed ,
and the superstitious Mexicans have
given themselves up to the apathy of de-
hpair. Our appearance , winch at other
times would have convulsed the village
vfith excitement , scarcely attracted at
tention. A few half-naked mou and hag
gard womun straggled out of thuir tene
ments of brush to meet us , but many
merely glanced from their open doorways
and made no sign. The town , or rather ,
what was the town , looks like the broken
toy village of a child. There is not a
house left standing , Shattered heaps of
adobes and yawning holes mark the site ,
and mingled in the ruin- ) are the few
utensils ot their domestic life , for which
a superstitious terror forbade thorn to
return. Manv hnvo gone toward the
south , but the bulk of the people nr < ) far
too poor to undertake a journey which ,
without resourses , moans death. So they
hnvo camped within sight of the
wreck of their homes , in mute
and pathetic helplessness. The mor
tality which attended this disaster must
have been great , but it was almost impus
siblo to draw any of tlio people into con'
vorsation , and quite so to obtain any ao
curate information. Over twenty sunken
places in the mesa marked recent graves ,
and as many more dead are probably
lying in the ruins.
"From Bavispo we had our first sight
of our objective point , the volcano. A
pennant of smoke , trailed by the wind
from a low. square-topped peak
to the southwest , defined its
location , while a dull and
muttering roar , almost incessant , told
that the forces of nature wire at work.
The volcano lies about twelve miles from
the site of the town , but over such an ex
traordinary broken tract of country that
wo realized at oncu that it would take
two days' journey to roach it , and pushed
straight ahead without delay. The
phenomena which wo had ob
served at Havispo increased in vol
ume as wo approached the mountain. Wo
followed the dry bed of a stream which
at some forgotten period had warn a
causeway through the granite. It was
broken by fissures of cvicunt rocnnt origin ,
running from north to south , and In some
cases four or live fw > t broad ami
of unknow depth. Springing from
ono of these , about four miles
out , wo encountered n geyser
rivaling any of tho.-o in the Na
tional park. It is in the center of n cir
cular basin , witli sides of sand and mud
and about forty feet in dimnator. At in
tervals of fifteen minutes an iminen.so
streamof boiling water leaps out and up
to a hoighth , I should judge , of sixty foot.
Tlio "iivbur spouts for four or live in.n-
utcs and then subsides as quickly as it
came , disappearing with a mutter that
reverberates far down into tiio bow ols of
the troubled caith. "
The IllggoHi IM1 . on Tattli ,
Springtiold ( Musj. ) Republican : The
United States treasury to-day is aa > > t
bank in metallic money and money
metals. Probably it has the gruatuat
hoard of thn precious metals , coined and
uncoined , nny where on the face of the
earth and this is not all gathered in one
placo. On the 1st of July the treasury of
the United States hod f 378,000.000 in gold ,
JS5.000.000 being in burs , and $315,000,000
of silver , of which lew than ? 1,000,000
was uncoinpd. Tlio amount of treasury
notes on hand was Ins- , than f'50.000.000.
The secretary of the treasury has been
able by carrying gold bars to kcup down
the nmount of cash taken from the
momentary circulation to tjio lowest
limit. It i ttimi/.ing when wo think of
tbo momentary condition of thu country
forty years ago , when tha supply of bbU
metals wore very small ; thirty years iigo
when money as good as gold was un
known between reiinsylvanla nnd Cali
fornia ; and twenty years ago , when this
Bide the Itocky mountains not a silver
piece was visible , nnd Hold was thu cen
ter of a vast daily speculation , In which
the treasury notes passed current at llfty
cents on the dollar or loss. It Is amaz
ing in view of the past that to-day our
national treasury is a vast bullion bank.
PRETTY PADDLERS.
Tlio Foals of Woninn lit the AViitcr.
What Miss iCato Dennett doesn't know
about our public baths and about swim
ming in general Is not worth knowing ,
savs the ACW York Herald.
She was ono of the pioneer teachers of
women at the free unths and lias boon
more or lcs identified with thorn during
the past fifteen yuars. She is of the me
dium height , with a luagnillcont deep
dies and a imlr of shoulders that are ill
Milolsh enough to satisfy the rnbidest
physical-development crank. Hut the
charm of this lady'H appearance lies in
the grace and freedom of her move
ments. She Is the best illustration of her
own theory that the best swimmers are
the most graceful women.
An inquiring Herald reporter found
her yesterday at her homo In South
lirookljn , and without any "loaders"
Miss Hoiinctt plunged at once into the
subject nearest her heart.
"It is , I bollovo , " she said , "a criminal
neglect for men or women to refuse to
take adyaiitago of the opportunities that
are available to learn to swim. There ia
no reason why anybody can not loam ; it
is the simplest thing in the world. It
doesn't take long to Imirn. I learned my
self very quickly , and a more timid per
son never ventured into the water. Hut
1 was determined to loam , nnd I over
came my timidity. "
"Did ion learn to swim first or float ? "
"To float. And 1 usually teach my pu
pils to do that tirst. It gives them confi
dence , it requires loss violent exertion ,
and it is very simple. Tlio only thing
necessary is to keep the neck still , the
head flat on the water and tlio feet down.
1 tcai-li a number of dillbroiit positions in
floating , so that a restful change may bo
made at any time. La/.y people always
prefer to float ! I have a little nephew
who will never swim far unless I make
him ; ho will swim a few feet , then turn
over on his back from Shcor lay.moss , for
ho 1ms a splendid stroke. Hut you shall
see him by and by. "
"vVherodid you begin your connec
tion with the public baths , Miss Ben
nett ? "
"It was not very long after I learned to
swim thatl was placed in charge of the
women's bath at East Fifth street. The
enthusiasm for swimming spread rap
idly , and I had all I could do , for 1 very
soon became n teacher thoro. Some of
my most proliciunt pupils \vuro from the
East Fifth street school. There were a
great ninny Jews m the locality , aud
very good swimmers they were , too.
What impressed mo ut the time ai
a little unusual was tlio fearlessness
with which very old women disported
themselves in the water. I Boon
learned that Gorman and Swedish women
were as a rule swimmers , and It was not
an infrequent sight to see the grand
mamma , daughter and granddaughter
all swimming along like tisliosl It may
sound like a fish story , hut 1 have soon n
babe of nine months paddling along with
a real stroke a baby one to bo sure , but
quite good enough to keep it from drown
ing. It was ono of generations of swim
mers , and was therolore amphibiousl"
"Jid you know of many instances of
the same sort ? "
"No , but I had more than ono illustra
tion of the truth that fearlessness is tlio
is the first , and t very nearly said the
only , requisite for a good swimmer A
baby fell out of its .sistei's anus once into
the bath , and although an alarm was
given wo thought it was a joke , as the
little thing was so swaddled up in rugs
that no ono thought there was a baby
thorc. Another sister was frightened
spec clilcss. And until wo discovered the
truth and rescued him the little follow
floated about , kicking and moving ids
arms just enough to keep afloat. When
w took him out ho was smiling anil
jolly us a 'sand boy.1 "
"Anrt you mean that If grown up
pconlu had the courage of babies they
could as easily keep above water ? "
"Precisely. If yon have the courage to
throw vour.iolf flat on the water end kick
you will have no further trouble in learn
ing to swim ; the rest is more practice.
At the Fifth street bath there was an old
lady of 72 years whom I taught to float.
So you see that if it is never too early to
begin it is never too loto to , cither.
Would you like to go ever to the bath
and RCO the children swim ? "
"I should very much JiKo it , was the
reporter's reply.
"Tho children , " were little Hannah
and James ( i. Heniustt and AIpIioiiHiiB
Loach , the nicco and nephew of Miss
Bennett.
"What is your natnot" tlio reporter
asked the youngest , n sunny-haired
duckling.
"James G. Dennett , the swimmer ! "
was the prsmpt reply.
"Ho always gives his title. " laughed
Miss Dennett. "Hut 'floater1 would bo
better than 'swimmer.1 Ho Is the lazy
ono , and it takes a good deal of u riling
sometimes to pot him in the water at
all. "
Wlion the batli was reaclied an interest
ing impromptu exhibition was given. It
was tlio first time tlio little ones had been
in this season , but some very clover
things were donu by little Hannah , who
floated , swnm on her back or ssido , took
a "sleeping pose , " used only her arms as
propellers or her Ings , took any number
of fanny stops , besides diving a number
of times ser the "Dennett cup" as Mi s
Donnott called an old tin dip
per encrusted with white paint. Then
the hoys went in , although the "swim
mer" needed some persuasion. Ho had ,
us liis auntie said , "a splendid stroke , "
but was not particular about using It.
Ho could do all sorts of thingH in the
water when ho chose , but ho was chary
of giving an exhibition before onu spec
tator. Ho profurrcd to bask in the sun
light on the steps of the hath , whure lie
made an extremely pretty picture in liis
very slight bathing dress.
"Give UH the sleeping pose again , Han
nah , " cuid Miss Honnctt. Then as the
child took a beautiful posn , lying side *
wise in the water , with the foot crossed
and ono arm over the head , n position
closely resembling that of Titian's fa
mous "Sleeping Venus , " Miss Dennett
continued : "I know hoinothiiig a little
peculiar appropoa of that p ( > 3o. Lately I
read that Miss Deckwith , the greatest
English bwimmcr , wns thn originator of
it. 1 cannot ttav that she does not think
that she is. but t think I am also. I have
never seen anybody nlsn take if , and when
1 tirst , used to exhibit it I had an entlmsi-
nstlc pimsl.u wealthy lady who lived on the
Hudson river , where she had a nmgnlli-
cnnt private bath. Well , iinttirully.when
site saw mo take the po.-ic she W'IIH do-
lighted with it , and talked of it moro or
less I mifigino from what xlio told mo.
She had at tlio time an English L'nrdoner
