As ther are doing this, they cry or sing, "Bob! bob! bob!" their white caps flying all the while. Bobsleighing Is an inspiring pastime on the long snow runs, easy with gentle slopes and moderate turns. Every resort has its bobsleigh run, a number of them being several miles long, and some of them being built especially for speed and thrills. New bob runs are made every winter, and bobsleighing, being such a social sport, has acquired great popularity among visitors, as it provides them with exhilarating experiences, without the necessity of much preliminary training.

Tobogganning Is perhaps a higher and more exciting form of bob flight on Ice and sno-.

The rider takes hold ot me venicn about the middle with his hands, and placing It in frit of him, steps on the ice and flops 6ver it, head foremost, his limbs being behind, thus enabling him to steer. The speed attained over the "fast" Ice run seems incredible. The skeleton sled was brought to perfection in Switzerland by an American. While tho speed always appears "terrific," the possibility of a mishap Is reduced to a minimum, for the course can always be freely "negotiated." A run may have a gradient of nine in a hundred, with over fifty sporty turns, with elbows that are truly thrillers. The high banking keeps the toboggan or bobsled from scu.lding off the track, or the Ice run; and a burst of nearly a hundred miles an hour is belieevd to occasionally occur.

Ssr AMERICANS make a point of allowing each side to have its inning in turn and without opposition from its opponents. The habit holds especially good at political meetings. It Is the first of all rules at such gatherings in America that the speaker should bo listened to, simply because he Is the speaker, and without reference to the quality of his speech. The man 011 the platform may be an orator or he may be though few Americana are unable to string. two sentences together; it does not matter, no distinction Is made.

What Mr. Howells In a deathless adjective described as the "inexorable hospitaity ot Americans" embraces equally a bore and a Gladstone. Each is followed with in-discriminating courtesy. The heckler Is shown no mercy. The man who dares to dispute or argue with the speaker of the occasion is descended upon by policemen the moment he opens his mouth, and bundled out of the hall as an offense to public order and good manners.

The speaker, is the despot of the meeting. He baB everything his own way. Whatever he says and however he says it it is tolerated. There are times when one regrets the deference paid to these oratorical autocratH. But with us, however, in England, thlng.5 are far otherwise, writes Sydney Brook? In Harper's Weekly.

If an English audience does not care for a speaker or his speech, it tells him so at once. That saves a lot of time and teaches a public man to respect his listeners. The curse of political meetings in England, and not in Englnnd only, is the chairman, usually some local magnate, who will 'try and stand tor half an hour between the audience and the speaker of the evening, The audience tolerates it for ten minutes, and then tells him to "shut up!" If he declines to. the audience grows humorously critical and the speech proceeds under a running fire of chaff and commentary. It would be interesting to trace t-o its sources this difference In the conduct and point of view of English and American audiences.

In trying to analyze the matter, and to find out what it is that accounts for the comparative tranquillity of political meetings in the United States, I have worked rouud to the following conclusions: (1) Americans have a far greater passion than Englishmen for doing things according to rule and regulation. (2) Americans, though in many ways an unreverential people, dearly worship a majority. In a company of six you have only to show an American that five are against you to convince him he is wrong. That, of course, is just when an Englishman becomes finally certain that he is the only sane person in the room. In America the majority is everything, and a minority that knows himself outnumbered straightway and instinctively holds it3 peace, realizing that freedom of speech is only permitted when the thing spoken does not run counter to the opinions of the majority.

Two or three Democrats ot a Republican meeting, therefore, never feel called upon to make their presence felt. Personal individuality is not so common as it is in England, and very few Americans care to make themselves conspicuous by taking the unpopular side. (3) As a matter of fact, in America the rule Is for a Democrat to attend only Democratic meetings and for a Republican to go only where he may be sure of hearing his opponents soundly trounced. A meeting in the United States is promoted not with a view to winning over waverers, but to stimulate the faithful instead of to serve both objects, as in England. The American public speaker can usually feel pretty certain that the men in front of him are all of his way of thinking.

(4) The American electorate rarely troubles to find out a candidate's views on particular measures. Alpine runs, are to stlmplate appetite and digestion, and increase the Joy of living. The breathing is Improved; one inspires more oxygen and breathes out more car- boaic acid, on the high levels than on, the plains. The zest of exercise 11 further explained by the fact that tlir average Individual on the mountains is able to convert 20 or 30 per cent, of the I total amount of his energy into me-, cbanical whereas, the low- lander is able to turn Into mechanical i work only 15 per cent, of the energy do-rived from his food. An incident that illustrates Ihe curious sort of acident that may happen on the big runs was that where a woman was sweeping over the ice on a Swiss luge toward a crossing at the same moment that a horse, drawing a water barrel, was approaching the same.

And then! No, by no mpans! For the woman! She may have shut her eyes, or even lost her presence of mind, but if slit: did either, when she opens her eyes again or recovered her senses, she found herself still flying on over the track! She must have thought it a dream, until she waf, accosted on the return up-level with laughter and eager inquiries which she could not quite understand. "Why," she was'told. "didn't vou sail rleht under the horse's body, through the equine archway in peifect safety?" Rue as she passed, like a streak, through the archway, the living archway, thus suddenly suipribcd, kicked up and over went the water-carl, drenching the next tobogg'er, who, by chance, and unfortunately, can.e along. But he thought it good sport, and hurried away to change his garb. In Switzerland almost every hotel at tho resort places has its rink! which is A Jolly Davos Trailing Party.

generally flooded overnight In winter to make a hard mirror-like surface. On these rinks all the ice sports of the world are indulged in, not only skating, curling and hockey, but gymkhanas, Ice carnivals, masquerades and ico waltzing. Switzerland has a noble record for skating, holding all except one of the world's championships for speed, and it Is equally famous in figure and other forms of the sport. Figure skating, free aad pair skating, as well as lee wallzing. are specially attractive to women, and thus the rinks are often the scene of entrancing pictures of gay moving throngs.

Switzerland has the largest rinks In the world, one of them covering 31,000 square yards. Curling has become thoroughly naturalized, and on a rink it is no uncommon thing to see three nationalities, Scotch or English, French, and German, engaged in a' friendly "spiel." Tho Ice conditions arc far superior to those in Scotland, the home of the game, for It can.be played through the whole winter; and for this reason the international Bon-spells are annually held In Switzerland. These are the sort of sports one finds In. Switzerland in winter where the snow sports of every nationality have found their paradise. A few years Ago it was unknown as a place of winter resort.

True, a few keen sportsmen and health-seeking invalids did even then choose Switzerland for their winter sojourn, returning with glowing tales of the transformation that the snow effected and the mag: Iflcent climate in which the glorious Alpino sunshine played its wonderful part. The English, usually the pioneers 'of outdoor life, discovered the winter possibilities of the end by their means' a new Switzerland was created. The stream of fashionable English society flowed In, the new direction, and Americans began to Barrymore" his legal name, the "Bar-rymores" of the present day are all "Blythe3" and the same may be said of "Herbert Crelin," whose many sons are all known by the name of "Standing."

A Perfect Stimulant. In my own 'case 1 have found that four minutes' enforced breathing makfB It possible to hold, the breath, for three and one-half- minutes, whereas without tho preparation 56 seconds was my limit. The time during which It Is possible to do without respiration Increases, of course, with the length of time during which the preparatory breathing is carried on. The increase does not go on In- definitely, but reaches a definite limit.

beyond which further length of time given to preparatory breathing does not Increase the time during which the breath may be held. The effect as a mental stimulant Is very pronounced, sayB a writer in Science. I have noticed In my own case that mental fatigue may be postponed, far beyond the usual point, by two minutes of rapid deep breathing at half-hour intervals. I have never noticed any reaction as in the case of most stimulants, and altogether It seems to me very satisfactory. The effect on muscular fatigue Is also striking.

The pulse beat goes up very rapidly while the breathing is continued, in my own case from about C5 to 106 after four minutes breathing. Another curious effect which perhaps is worth mentioning is the apparent rapid lapse of time during the latter halt of a hard breathing period. This change in the timo sense is very noticeable. I should not have ventured to describe phenomena which are so easily in the reach of everyone bad I not found In people at large, and even among scientific men, a surprising Ignorance as to their existence. I have seen some very amusing betting on how long It was possible to hold the breath, and have seen the cock-sure bettor laid low by not knowing of this possible resource of his adversary.
