j.aPANESE SWIMMERS.
Can Perform Truly Wonderful
Feats in the Water.
It is a 'common practice fax stu-
dents of the universities and
schools of Japan to go to the ass, -
side during the summer months,
and there train eystematically.
Regular courses of instruction in
swimming are given to those who
wish fax them. Mr, E. J. Harrison,
in "The Fighting Spirit of Japan,"
tells some of the feats performed by
the expert swimmers.
The Japanese are fond of swim-
ming, and among the younger gen-
eratiou of students and the coast
population there are some splendid
long-distance swimmers, Schools
of natation teach the art in a sys-
tematic menner, and although the
best racing records in Japan are
not equal to the Western, a Japan-
ese expert can perform Some truly
wonderful feats. Fax example, he
;can jump into deep water and
maintain his position with the wa-
ter no higher than the lies, while
he fires a musket or a bow and ar-
row, writes on a slate, paints a pic-
ture on a fan with a brush, or
moves freely in every direction as
if he were walking on solid ground.
The expert, while he rarely emu-
lates the graceful high dive of the
European or American, can leap
from a great height and strike the
surfaxe ef the water with his thest,
without ,sinking ar wetting his face
and head, In some mysterious, way
he contrives to escape the, painful
consequences which the impact
would inevitably cause to the for-
eigner who should try this /cat. It
is said that the old-time samurai
hequently mule ase of this trick
when creasing river or stream.
In, such cases they carried their ar-
mor incl weapons on their heads.
In illustration of the antiquity of
swimming in. Japan, it may interest
foreign readers to be told that the
famous "'mewl" stroke, -which Occi-
dental swimmers first acquired not
very bong ago, has been known and
praoticed ie Japan for hundreds of
ytars, in addition to several other
methods al progression in the water

Europeans and Arnericane,
THE SUNDAY SCHOOLLESSON
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
' AUG UST 8,
Lesson Y. The Plagues of Egypt-
Psit. 105, 23-88. Golden Text,
alatt, 23. 12:
Our lesson passage is taken from
one ofthe so-called historical
psalms, in which later generations
in Israel comniemorated the good-
ness and guidance of Jehoeak dur-
ing the earlier period of the . na-
tions development. In the verses
al the psalm assigned fax study Je-
hovah is praised fax his faithful-
ness in protecting his people when
they were oppressed by the Egyp-
tians in Egypt. The preceding ver-
ses (1-22) and those that follow (37-
40) tell of the earlier and later man-
festations of divine goodness as re-
flected in the connected history of
God's chosen people. The histor-
ical narrative as recorded in Exo-
dus is very much fuller and goes
more into detail than the brief po-
etical summary which constitutes
our lesson. (Compare E)sod. 7. 8 to
11. 10.) The inspired poet is, more-
over, not interested in the chrono-
logical sequence of the events so
much as in the greatness of the de-
liveranee wrought by Jehovah in
each instance. To this fact we may
ascribe the *mission on his part of
all reference to two of the plagues
(those of pestilence and boils) men-
tioned in Exodus. This religious
interest of the psalmist may also
account fax the order in which the
plagues are mentioned, which again
differs from the order in Exodus.
According to the Exodus narrative
they occurred in the following ar-
der: (1) Nile water changed to
blood; (2) frogs; (3) line; (4) flies;
(5) pestilence; (6) boils; (7) hail; (8)
locusts; (9) darkness; (10) death of
first-born.
Verse 23. Israel -The reference
is .to Jacob as the immediate an-
cestor of the twelve tribes. The po-
etical form of the reference permits
the use in close proximity to each
other of the two names for the same
person.
The land of Ham -Egypt.
24. Increased his people greatly
-"And the children of Israel were
, fruitful, and increased abundantly,
I and multiplied, and waxed exe,eed-
ingly mighty; and the land was
filled with them" (Exod. 1. 7).
Stronger than their adversaries -
Stronger than the Egyptians, where
they served,
25. He turned their heart -The
subject is Jehovah and the reference
is to the Egyptians, -whose hearts,
like the heart of Pharaoh, were
hardened and embittered toward
the Israelites, whom they came
gradually to fear because of their
increasing numbers.
To deal subtly -Deceitfully.; or
treacherously.
26. Moses his servant -It is as the
servant of Jehovah and his repre-
sentative to the people that Moses
appears throughout the Exodus nar-
rative.
Aaron . . chosen - Chosen
to serve Moses as spokesman and in
other ways.
27. They set among them -Moses
and Aaron among the Egyptians.
His signs -The manifestations of
his power and will,
28. He sent darkness -The Egyp-
tians were worshippers of the sun-
god, and with them, therefere, the
plague of darkness would be espe-
cially calculated to inspire fear of
Jehovah upon them. This interpre-
tation of the plague appears the
more probable from the next sen-
tence, "And they rebelled not
against his words," in which the
pronoun "they" is generally taken
to refer to the Egyptians. The
whole sentence therefore reflects
the attitude of the Egyptian people
toward the Israelites, to whose de-
parture out of the land the people
were reconciled much earlier than
was their stubborn king.
29. Their waters -Those of the
Nile river. (Compare Exed, 7. 20-
20.)
30, Frogs-Aceoetling to the Exo-
dus narrative, the second plague.
(Compare Bead, 8. 1-15.)
31. Swarms of flies . . . lite
-Literally, swarms of clog -flies and
gnats, (Compare also Excel, 8, 16-
132.) •
32. Hail . . . flaming fire -
Hail accompanied by thunder and
lightning. The ereferenee is to a
single plague, tho seventh, accord-
ing to the order in Exodus (Exod.
9. 23-30.)
33. Smote their vines ,
brake the trees -13y means of the
hail and lightning. (Compare Psa,
78, 47, 48.)
34. Locust , . grasshopper
-Again referring to a single plague.
The Hebrew word probably denote
the locust in its larva state, and in
the English revised version is there-
fore translated cankerworm instead
of to in our text,
35. Every herb -Grass area vege-
table foliage.
Tho fruie oi their ground. -This
ex/mission may refer to such bulbs
as were used fax food.
30. The first -beim in their land -
Both o/ cattle and of human being5,
and therefore the chief of all their
