Many of the outdoor games will ens large the muscles and round out the gyres, though most of them have a tendenpy to develop one more than the other. If this has been.' your trouble, pay particular attention to the small- er one, giving it more exercise than the other. But for those who have thin, shape- less arms, the following group of ex- ercises will prove very beneficial: Lie Ant op the back on the floor, wear Ito tight clothing and take deep slow breaths, expanding the chest as far as possible with each exereiee. Slowly describe the motions of a circler drawing the hands and arms back until they touch the head; then bring them back to the sides, holding them loose and straight. Repeat thk) several times, increasing the number as you become accustomed ea the work. Raising the hands forward from the floor, bring them as far back as pos- sible, toucteng the floor above the head; lower to former position. Place the halide on the hips, then thruet the arms out directly to the -side, above the head,' straight before you and downward, After each movement return the hands to the hips. If you have some dumb -bells or In- dian chins or belle or even weight that you can hold easily in your hand, you have another very efficient meth- od of obtaining plump, pretty arms. Raise the arms forward and upward over the head, holding the elbows stiff and the clubs as high as you can; then lower them to the sides and down. Next, swing the arms in cir- cles. one at a tine, from front to back and from back to front. These are very simPle exercises, but it is best to begin. -so. More complicated ones can be attempted later.- Woman's World for November. ••••••••••••••••• BERLIN'S FOOD.

SHACKLETON. ,Plans for Relief for Explorer .Are Completed. London Cable. -Plans for the re- lief of Sir Erpest Seaceleton, who, with a number Of his men, is maroon- ed in the Antarctic, were completed to -day at a meeting ot a committee ot the Royal Geographical Rociete. Thonlans involve the depaeture of a relief sine from London by Aug. le for Weddell Sea, by way .of Buenos Ayres and the Falkland Islands. The relief ship probably will fol- low the plan of the Aurora, the aux- iliary barque of the Shackleton expe- dition, which drifted from her moor- ings, and will be fitted out in Buenos Ayres, Apprehension, as to the food supply available for the Shackleton party is felt by the persons familiar with Pol- ar expeditions. They point out that, owing to the limited carrying capac- ity of Sir Elrnest's steamship Endur- ance, it was necessary to displace a considerable portion ot the food to make room for coal. Dr, W. S, Bruce, who has explored this region, doubts if the expedition ever began land ex- ploration In any but a preliminary form, if at all, It is calculated that the voyage from London to the Falkland Islands will require ninety days, with an- other month to Weddell Sea, which would thus be reached as the ice was breaking.

THE SINN FEIN (Buffalo. News) Co -incident with the Irieli uerl•sang the question "What is the Sian Fein?"

The Sinn. Fein clan eryetalizes all the spiritual and indwatrlal impulses, the little idiosyncrasies of race and religion into national elmnuels. "Ireland before anything, Ireland forever" is their slogan, In it work recently published byW, P. Bryan, an eminent °alter and pttb- hieist, that gentleman states that the obJect of the Sinn Fein movement was not so much for the development of a purely political movement for power, jaismttolorne.surrect and foster a new eivil. In other words, he declared that "we • would rather 'see Ireland a creative, humanized home power than one of the great Powers." s And in this direction the organize - than Itas been untiring in'its efforts. Their programme in it wide and all - embracing one, The Sinn Feiners are • strong temperance edvocates. TMs not because of its moral effects, say their critics, but because by' the sim- ple process of reducing her drink bill 13ritish revenue would be de- creased. Some of their propositions are start- ling. They desire the withdrawal of Irish members from Westminster, the application of the home working pol- icy of the Gaelic league and the build- ing up of a System of education that shall be animated throughout by na- none' ideals. They want a national stook ex- change and a scheme of economic transmission, poor laws and general tceoruenscts,ilof county councils that shall lead up to a national institution that will secure and safeguard Irish' The provisional granting of Home Rule, which embodying most of these principles, yet net(' Ireland to vassal- Fageetoa cerealn extent and hence re- ceived the cold shoulder of the Sinn Feiners. This passive resistance was fanned into a flame 1»' the more extreme group of irreconellables. Tile educational methods and fine- ly organized system under which the Sinn Feiners worked were _prevented. to the use of tit erebels with the of t - witnessed result of such coalitions - the good was submerged by the band and disaster followed. And now the Sinn Fein nill ever be associated in -the minds of thou- sands with treachery and bloodshed. s Truly it may be said of orgeniza- Bons as of men, `that the evil they do lives after them; the mood is oft in- terred with their bones," ORGANS OF VISION. Only Highly Developed Animals Possess Sense of Sight. The balancing apparatus which we eave in connection with our ears is found in practically all animals and also in the vegetable kingdom, but the organs of vision, so far as we know, are found only among the more high ly developed animals. Independence of movement requires vision in order to secure food, escape Injury and ene- mies. The nature, direction and lo- cation of objects that are to be desir- ed or feared is chiefly determined by eyesight; especially is this so when the higher animals are consitternd. Civilized man eas greatly lost the sense of smell, so far as the detecting of danger is concerned, and it is im- possible for him to determine within wide limits the location of an object by the sense ef hearing. But, outside of monkeys, man is the only animal who has what we call Binocular sin- gle vision, that is, he can tell not only the direction of an object, but fairly accurately its distance by the use of both eyes pointing at the same object at the sante time like two range -finders, Other animals do not direct both eyes at the same object at the same time. Their eyes are set more nearly at the sides of the head, so that they not only see forward, but backward. The outside limits of vis7. Joh of man is greater than half of the space in which he is placed and his eyes can move accurately, noise- lessly, with the geratest prevision to any object in any part of his field of vision, and such, movements may be supplemented by mevements of the head and hotly. He sees well only that at which he directly looks, His more peripheral vision chiefly assists Mtn in discovering moving or other ob- jects to which, if he wishes, lie can direct his gaze. Even very poor vis- ion in an eye may save a man front accident caused by some Moving ob. Ject, as a oar or automobile coming up from the side. Therefore, the ter. son who -has two eyes, even if the vision of one eye is very poor, is leas likely to be injered than the person -with only one eye who cannot see to the side beyond his nose. One -eyed individuals are always more likely to Meet with accidents than those who have two good eyes. -From the Jour- nal of the American Medical Associa- tion, Mystery of a Diplomat.

Washington despatch: A' bill pre- pared by the Department of Com- merce- and to be introduced in the House to -morrow by Majority Leader Kitchin, is designed to make possible the recapture from Canada of a great part of tb,e Northern Pacific fishing Industri',. lost by American fishermen on, account of the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway's extension to Prince Rupert last year, and through a subsidy granted the industry by the Canadian Government. The measure would require that all halibut and salmon shipments reach- ing the United States through foreign territory be shipped in bond. Rest. dents of Ketchikan, Alaska, have urged such legislation, claiming It will restore Ketchikan business lost to the Grand Trunk terminal town of Prince Rupert. EIGHT HUN' SUBS. LOST New oYrk despatch: Trans -Atlantic war risk rates have dropped from three per cent. to two per cent. in both the New York and London mar- kets during the last week. Informa- tion received to -day from London by • a local firm stated that reductions of another half per cent. were being made there in many instances. Thits would mean a crating of the rates in one-half since the German reply to the last American note was forwarded to this country. Although the reduction is attributed chiefly to the German note, local un- derwriters also attached importance to information received.by them from England that the British campaign against German submarines had been effectively renewed. According to this information, which was accepted as creditable by the underwriters, eight of the German undersea craft have been recently entangled and cap- tured, HUN PLANES RAID COAST London table says: Three German seaplanes made a raid on the English east coast last night, a 13rit- ish official announcement this after- noon .states.
