lteindeer Hunting.

One sport that amuses the Eskimo
boys very much would probably be
called in our language reindeer hunt
ing" Having found q long and gentle
slope on a side-hill, they place along
the bottom Of the hill number OF rein
deer antlers. or, as we sometimes in
correctly call them, deerhorns (for you
boys must not forget that the antlers of
deer are not horn at all, but bone).
These antlers of the reindeer are stuck
upright in the snow, singly or In
groups, in such a manner that q sled,
when well guided, can be run between
them without knocking any Of them
down, the number of open spaces be-
tween the groups being equal to at least
the number of sleds. The quantity OF
reindeer antlers they can thus arrange
will, OF course, depend upon their faith
ers' success the autumn before in rein
deer hunting; but there are nearly al
ways enough antlers to give two or
three, and sometimes five or six, to each
fearless young coaster.
The boys with their sleds, numbering
from four to six in fair-sized village,
gather on the top of the hill, each boy
having with him two or three spears, or
bow with as many arrows. They
start together, each boys object being
to knock down as many antlers as pos
sible and not DO the first to reach the
bottom of the hill. You can see that,
in such case, the slower they 60 when
they are passing the antlers the better.
They must knock over the antlers with
their spears or arrows only, as those
thrown down by the sledge or with the
bow or spear In the hand do not count.
They begin to shoot their arrows and
throw their spears as soon as they can
get within effective shooting distance;
and, even after they have passed be-
tween the rows of antlers, the more &C
tive boys will turn around on their fly
ing sleds and hurls back spear or ar
row with sufficient force TO bring down
an antler.
When all have reached the bottom oi
the hill, they return TO the rows Of ant
lers. where each boy picks out those he
has rightfully captured, and places
them in pile by themselves. Then
those accidentally knocked over by the
sledges are again put up and the boys
return for another dash down the hill,
until all the antlers have been "spear.
ed" Sometimes there is but one ant
Ter left, and when there are five or siz
contesting sleds the race becomes very
exciting, for then speed counts in reach
ing the antler first. When all are
down, the boys count their winnings,
and the victor is, Of course. the one
who has obtained the greatest number
of antlers. "Ihe Children Of III.

Turpentine for Drilling.

Turpentine has been found Of much
assistance in the drilling or filing Of
hard iron castings. In describing the
experiment the Scientific american
says: 1.-THE speed of the drill was
somewhat reduced from that OF drill
in soft gray iron, but the obdurate ma
terial yielded to the persuasive infiu-
ence of the turpentine. The file was
kept wet with It, and there was no diff
ficulty in cutting the hard metal. 1t is
ascertained, however, that the supply
of turpentine must be continuous

the purpose-and that the turpentine.

Who Invented Chess?

The Hindoos say that chess was the
invention of an astronomer who -four.
ished several thousand years ago, and
who was possessed OF supernatural
knowledge and acuteness. The Greeks
claim that it was the invention of Pala-
modes to beguile the tedium Of the
siege of Troy. The Arab legend is that
it was devised for the instruction of q
young despot by his tutor, learned
Brahmin, to teach the youth how a
king was dependent upon his subjects
for his safety. Oriental chess is of two
kinds, Chinese and Indian chess. The
Chinese game is played generally in
Eastern Asia, but in India and the ad-
jacent islands. and with some slight
notifications all over the civilized
world Indian chess is played.
