He has been spending the "winter in Florida. Amoiig his notablo experiments was a recent performance at Tampa, where he was asked to arrange ar. aquatic teature for .V church bazaar. Dr. Henshall says: "I found an expert swimmer, fastened one end of a stout line to a leather collar about his neck and allowed him to swim .eighty feet Into a swimming tank,. I stood on tlie edge- with rod and reel. At the swimmers signal the battle began, lie fought hard, but J brought him near enough to the edge to touch him with a short pole, despite "his efforts to defeat me. It required uu minutes. This should not; be viewed as remakabh when It is taken into consideration that expej-1 anglers frequently land tarpon much heavier than men, aud the tarpon arc in their imtural element."
