FEET AND HANDS TIED.

Th os 2 who have experienced some difficulty in learning how to swim, chiefly through lack of confidence in the bouyant power of water, will feel somewhat relieved when they look Sit this picture. It' represents W. Sully, of London, who attempts the

These feats are performed nightly, and Mr. Sully is still enjoying vigorous health. With the free use of his arms and legs he can do a variety of things.
