Swing exactly as m regular boxing, striking the bag on the | side, midway between top and bottom. On the second rebound swing with your right, and thus alternate. A swing travels too far and is thus slow to permit of hitting on the t re- bound. You may even be unable to; strike on the second rebound. If so, try it on the third, alternating left- right, left-right as long as you can con- tinue to put force and precision inte your blows. You will be astonished to see what tremendous power you czn put into a | swing when there is no fear of hurt- ing any one and no danger of being blocked or countersd. Hit the bag squarely—not with an upward or downward twist. In ae- livering heavy blows care should be taken not to stand too close to the bag. Learn to gauge your distance, t~ step in and out as though ir a regalar boxing match, and to keep on the move all the time. Do not stand still and punch, but side-step, advance, re- treat, etc., etc., constantly. Remember, also, that if the bag moves awkwardly or flies off at the wrong angle, the fault is all yours. Keep your temper and try to do bet- ter. While your sparring partner may hesitate to refnind you of your defects and may take on himself the blame 1 blow. be- for your mistakes, the punching bag | will show you no such consideration. It reflects your skill or Jack of skill as truthfully as your mirror reflects your face. Swings and hooks cannot, of course, be practiced on the double-ender bag. The sides of the doorway prevent free scope of the arms in dezling circular blows. But on each variety of bag all the “straight” blows known to boxing may be used. Everything in bag punching depends on striking the bag at the proper angle and at exactly the right moment. Your blow should land as the bag is swing- ing toward you and while it is as near- 1y as possible in the center of the ring. Stand close to the bag and leaa with right or left (not too hard at first); as | the bag rebounds toward you, do not step back, but duck, either straight or to the side. This will give you splendid practice in all the varieties of ducking. Frozen Mammoths. BY G. FREDERICK WRIGHT, A.M., LLD., Author of “Man anl v.h& Gluzh.l Period,” (Copyright, uu. by Jooeah B. Bowles.) The mammoth is an extinct species of elephant which was formerly spread all over Europe, Northern Asia and North America as far south as Mexico. In size he was somewhat larger than the elephant. Whereas Jumbo stood. eleven feet high, the 1 enormous: i found in Texas, and now mdunted in’] -i-rough, amount of . arctl | cies, D) | Middle Teftiary deposits of Northern his right on the. ‘mammoth “skeleton - recently set up in ‘the museum of the-Chicago Academy of Sciences :stands thirteen feét Aas° aavunted, which would. make him about fourteen.feet high when, alive.

It'was well filled and the contents were in- structive and well pmserved. The prin- cipal were young shoots of the fir and pine; a quantity of young fir cones, also in a chewea state. were mixed with the moss.” Evidence that man and the mammoth were for a considerable time contem- poraries comes from various quarters. In Siberia, twelve feet below the sur- face of a cliff which stands 136 feet above the present level of the river Obi, a skeleton of a mammoth was found, associated with numerous flint implements, indicating the presence of man, while the large bones of the ani- mal were split in the usual way of sav- ages for extracting the marrow. In numerous places in Europe the bones of the animal have been found both in the river gravel and in caves associated in a similar manner with flint implements, while the picture of the mammoth carved upon a piece of ivory in prehistoric times found in.a cave of La Madeleine, Perigord, Fra.ncg, is so lifelike that it must have been made by one who was familiar with the animal. In Wisconsin one of the mounds of the mound builders so per- fectly represents the elephant that it is hardly possible to doubt the famil- jarity of the builders with this animal. TINTESDANT .
