EATING, DRINKING, AND SLEEPING AMONG THE FISHES. Surprising Aquatic Feats of James Fin- iiey, an English Swimmer, and His Sister "Marie \Vlio Are Now in This Country. James Finney, so named without refer- ence to his peculiar calling, and his sister Marie, subjects of Great Britain, are sur- prising Americans and gathering coin by means of some wonderful perfor- mances beneath the waves of a huge tank. Running up a small ladder the Finneys glide headforward into the water, and from this moment every movement is a revelation of the grace possible to a. swimmer. There is scarcely a ripple, as they dart from end to end of the tank, now at the surface, next at the bottom, circling under and over each other, but never brushing; hand or foot in the nar— row space. No globe holds goldfish that possess more perfect control of themselves than do the swimmers, They seem to have stolen the very mo- tion of the fishes themselves. There are no strokes of the arms, no kicks with the feet. The arms are often held full length at the side of the swimmer, only the hands moving. and these with the exact motion of a fish’s fins. The feet, too, crossed most of the time, are used to guide the body as a. fish does its tail, while simply raising or lowering the head seems to cause the swimmer to sink to the bottom or rise to the surface. And what a length of time they swim under water! The spectatorfialmost feels asense of suffocation in sympathy and anticipates their gasp for breath when at last they rise to air. But the Finneys neither gasp or sputter, nor toss the water from their heads, nor do any of those things so common to swimmers af— ter having been under water for even a. second. They show no more signs of exertion than if they had been sitting placidly in a chair. The real exhibition of staying powers come after Miss Finney has given diver and sundry exhibitions of graceful feats, and her brother has eaten cake and'drank milk at the bOttoni of the tank, and both have waltzed and played cards to‘ gether. James announces that he is going to take a nap. Subincrging his body to the level of the chin, resting one arm on the surface of the water, and lowering the other at an angle from the body, he holds for several minutes this pose, which the spectators is apt to think is merely for ef- fect. In reality the man is filling every air chamber in his body. He does this by a series of short breaths, then one long inhalatiOn until his lungs are comforta- bly filled: not to a point that becomes ex- ertion. Then, sinking slowly to the bot- tom, hercsts his head on his hand, closes his eyes‘and becomes motionless. \Vhile he sleeps, his sister shows some feats of floating in the water abo ve him, then pretends to awaken'lier brother. He brushes her aside, and she, rising to the surface, waits for him to join her. Take out your watch and see how long you can hold your breath. See how pain- ful it becomes after a few seconds, and then imagine the endurance of that man, who stays under water three minutes and from ten to twenty-fire seconds at every performance, and who has a record of having remainedbelow the surface four minutes, twenty-nine and a quarter seconds. Marie Finney with all 1 er skill and practice, can .stay down only two and a. half minutes. Then follows another amazing exhibi- tion. \Vho has not ’tried on Hallowe’en to take coin with the .lips from a. tub of water, the hands tied _ behind the back? J amcs Fimiey, sinks to the bottom of the tank and picks up between sixty and sev- enty coins for the entertainment of on lockers, and has a. record of having gath- ered up eighty-eight coins in this man- ner. And he declares that while under water for this length of time he rarely has any uncomfortable sensation. and never any- thing more troublesome, than a slight pressure around the throat. Nor has any accident ever befalleii him in all his swim- ming experience. His ' opinion on one subject may interest ambitious amateurs. He says swimmers are born, not made, and his conclusion is based on his experi- ence with a younger‘brother, on Whom he has worked his hardest, but cannot make an expert. _, Gees Pool and Closets Cleaned in a reasonable and expeditiousmsnner.
