THE GENESIS OF COLLEGE SPOTS.

MIR. Andrew NJ. f. Davis gives, IN the
current issue of the Atlantic, an interesting
account of the origin of the games that are
now common in American colleges, and of
the growth of college gymnasiums and COM
petitive trials Of athletic skill. From this
it appears that the gymnasium, with its lad.
ders, bars and swinging rings, Its rowing,
fencing and spsrrng rooms Gu1 bowling al
legs, which to-day is as essential feature oil
most colleges, did not make ITS appearance
among college chapels, halls and doimitor-
les till about the year 1860, and before that
time game at ten-pens was among the in
terdictcd amusements, like visit to thea
ire or II circus. The great American game
of baseball was then in its ruimentary stage
of 1.-TWO old cat"-a game of hoalY antiquity
but deficient, perhaps, in its scientific aspects
There were no bases. and the runner, in
stead Of being put out by the humane process
now IN vogue was patched or ''socked"-
two words Of mysterious origin which imply
that he waa struck in pats more or less vital
by ball thrown with all,possibe momentum
by one Of his antagonists. The development
of this crude and barbarous ssme for one of
its principal features was the doubling up Of
the budding citizen under the impulse of a
ball slrlkrg his epigastric regions with dull
thud and the d lug OF the entire neighbour
hood with series of frenzed and highly,
unmelodiOus walls -iuto the II. )darn baseball
proves alike the scientific and the humane
advance OF the times. TO return to our
writer, Mr.. Davis says that lacrosse was only
known by S;hoolcraf.s pictures Of the game
being played by Indians, cricket was kno wn
from stories of Euglish schools. and lawn
sennis from reading Struts "Ancient Eng
lish Sports aud Pasimes.' Lawn tennis was
common 10 the sixteenth century in England,
aud Strut describes a picture Of game that
was published in 1858. A manuscript regis
tor OF the expenditures Of Henry VII, has
an entry oftweive-pencc ''for the kings loss
at tennis" Lacrosse, which IL now less
common on this sijc OF the line than Il is IN
the Dominion il true native American
game and was described by Alexander
Henry, who travelled In Canada and the In
dian territories between 1850 aud 1910, un-
der the name of "Baggatiway," called by the
Canadians "h jsu do Ia crosse" At the siege
of Detroit, in May, 1888, Pontiac, as Park
man says, made use Of this game ''the better
to cover his designs" Henry was at Mack
inaw at the time OF the massacre OF the gar
rison, on the 4th Of June In that same year,
when the Indians gained access to tho fort
by tossing the ball over the pckets and then
all clambering over after 1t.

One of the greatest monopolcs in this
country is the Diamond match company. 1t
has driven all the small manufacturers out
OF the business, by combining all the large
match factories In this country and Canada.
1t operates immense factories at Akron,
Ohio; Wilmington, Del, Chicago and other
points in the United States and Canada. AT
the Akron factory alone the company turned
out iu the month OF March $1,000 gross of
matches, gross being IA boxes, which re-
tail at eight cents each. The profits hereto
fore at the Akron factory have been about
5000 900 a year. When the stamp tax is
abolished the company will pocket q clear
profit of $1.44 ON each gross, which hereto
fore went for stamps. This will make an
extra profit of $50. $50 month, or the cnor-
nous sum of 100000 extra profits in one
year This is for the Akron factory slone,
the six other factories having the same or
nearly the same capacity. According TO
these figures, the men who compose the Dia-
mond match company will all be millionsires
at the end of The next twelve months.

IMMIGRATION.

The United States presents the hitherto un-
precedented spectacle of vast geographical
area brought under subsection aud cultiva-
lion, in an incredibly brief space Of time, by
forces entirely derived from without. Al
most all other portions Of both the Old and
New Worlds have developed, or are develop
ing slowly and imperfectly, from within
by the natural growth Of their own popula-
ton and industry But the United States,
strictly speaking, has done very lit
tie of its own growing. We have
scarcely had time to produce new
generation Of pioneers, before we
find that the great undeveloped regions and
distant frontiers of our land are already being
occupied and brought into subsection by
others. Immigration has done vastly more
in the developing Of the country than mi
grafton has. In the great West the proper
ton OF foreigners greatly exceeds that of ma
tive born Americans. II we seem to have
leaped into prosperity and power, as If by

The amount Of immigration which has ac-
complishcd 50 much for us, is Indeed Won

have received upon our shores no fewer than
10000, 900 foreigners, most of whom have

Immigration has had its flood and

tory. A little mole than half a
century ago the influx OF foreign population
was so small as TO he scarcely noticed. In
1890 only about 5000 immigrants came to
this country. The maximum of the great
tide Of the middle of the century was reached
in 1854, when 427, 1873 immigrants landed at
American ports. The following year showed
decrease of fifty per cent, and gradual
decline followed till 1864. a minimum

1t appears from an article upon the veloc-
ity and pressure of the wind, published in
Longman's 4Idgazine, that no trustworthy
data are at hanl for arriving at any very ex-
act conclusion with regard to it. Sergeant
Finley Of the Sgnal Service states that "the
velocity of the wind within the cloud-vortex
is varlously estimated at from seventy to
eight hundred miles an hour, the average be-
ing three hundred and ninety-two miles" 1t
is thought that velocity Of eight hundred
miles an hour corresponds nearly to three
fourths of ton pressure to the square foot.
The instruments now in use entirely fail TO
measure either the force or the velocity OF
the wind long before it has reached extreme
limits. In tn present state of the science
the advice of an eminent engineer is sound
to be sure aud not underestimate this as yet
unknown quantity.
