lucky shot from the enemy would not
only cut off all but q few of the lamps,
but also kill the engineer whose duty il
was to handle the resistance box. Or
the lamps might be cut off and the en-.
gineer be too badly frightened to do the
right thing In a moment the remaining
lamps on the ship would be DESTROYED
and the dynamo as we'll The magazine
would be in utter darkness, and fatal
confusion would prevail. The one thing
for which naval men have looked was a
governor for the dynamo. When it was
found 1t was a simple thing-just an ex-
ira coil OF wire placed on the dynamo.
this coil being made of much larger wire
than is used on the horseshoe magnet.
1t is not easy to explain the action of the
extra coil of wire, but it receives the cur.
rent and serves it as governor serves
throttle on steam pipe of an engine.
Ii there is call for an increased service.
the series coil, as it is called, provides it.
Ii every lamp but one of 500 lamp cir
cult be cut off at one stroke, that one
lamp burns on, unaffected to any appre.
clable extent.
"There is another feature of this gov
ernor that makes it valuable to war
ship whose coal space is limited. When
the lamps are cut off the power of the
dynamo and the consequent consump-
ton OF coal are not wasted in forcing the
current through resistance box. The
reduction in the power used is almost in
proportion to the load removed or the
number of lamps cut off. If 500 lamps.
for instance, require so horse power, the
power required when $50 lamps were cut
off would be, say, z horse power, which
means saving of the coal required for
the 4S horse power dispensed with.

Said to Be $50 Years Old.

The Oldest man in the world is citi.
zen of Bogota, in the republic of San
Salvador.
This new Methuselah declares that he
is 1870 years old, and it would seem he
fatters himself, for his neighbors give
the assurance that he is older than he
says he is.
He is half breed, named Michael
Soils, whose existence was revealed to
DIR. Louis Hernandez by one of the old
est planters in the locality, who as a
child knew Soils as centenarian.
They have found in the year 1712 his
signature among those of persons who
contributed to the building of Fran
ciscan convent which exists near San
Sebastian.
His skin is like parchment, his long
hair, of the whiteness of snow, envelops
his head like turban, and his look is SO
keen that it made disagreeable i'm
preston on the doctor.
Intercepted by the doctor, he answer
ed complaisantly that his great age was
due to his regular mode of living, and
to his never giving up to any excess of
any sort whatever.
Il never eat but once day." said he,
"but never use any but the strongest
and most nourishing foods. My meals
last half hour, for I believe it is impos-
sible to eat more in that time than the
body can digest in twenty-four hours. 1
fast the first and fifteenth day of each
month, and on those days 1 drink as
much water as l can bear. I always let
my food become cold before 1 touch it.
1t IS to these things that attribute my
great age. Union Liberale of Quebec.

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.

The Great Importance of the Trump

In whist there is more ignorance displayed

my other branch of the game. The average
layer generally makes the error of leading

The old rule when III doubt lead tr-umpsn

imposed. But if the whist student viii bear
mind just what the trump is for and the
eason it is played at all, he cannot go far
wrong in his TRUMP lead. 1t is obvious to

BROTHERHOOD


determining that, from a fielding basis, the
Brotherhood and League are very nearly
equal: that in the box the Brotherhood have
very slight advantage in having four ex-
perienced pitchers against two, but if Sow
ders and Ta5er make good showing the adj
vantage viii vanish Behind the bat the
League has all the best of it. Where the
Brotherhood team excels is with the stick.
Kelly, Richardson, Brouthers, Nash and
Stovey are star hitters, and the League club
cannot present six men who can even ap-
proach them, unless the three outfelders
lowe, Brodie and Donovan should turn in
and bat as they never have done before.
The only unknown man in the Brotherhood
Is Sweet. he comes from the California
league, where he did excellent work. Gum
bert Is said TO have accepted terms with Bos-
ton, but may not go there after all
Bennett, Camel, Smith and Clarkson will
need no Introduction in Boston. Neither will
Donovan or McGarr, who have both PLAYED
there in the New England league. 1t is
proper TO say, though, that both have i'm
proved wonderfully. To League crowds in
general Donovan will be new and McGarr
comparatively so. The latter, however. viii
probably be used as an extra man. Dono-
van, as well as Brodie comes from the Inter-
national league, and both are fine PLAYERS
Lowe is a western player, whose merits are vet
TO be discovered by League patrons. He was
good man with Milwaukee Hardie comes
from California and was once with the Chicago
League club. Taber is an experiment. &
Sowders has done good work in the west
Nichols was the wonder in the Western asso-
citation last year. Long and Tucker were the
two brightest stars in the American associa-
ton last season. In base running the League
team will give some exhibitions that win
arouse great enthusiasm, because every man
on the team save Smith and Camel and the
batteries is a star runner Taken altogether
the two teams that will dispute for the Bos-
ton patronage are both good ones and when
coml,aredon every point the verdict of a fair
man would be that the advantage in batting
powers possessed by the Brotherhood is DC t
sufficient to justify the statement made by
Mr.. Mike Kelly, when he remarked recently,
