At the surgical congress at Berlin Pro-
fessor Gluck, of Berlin, gave an exhibi-
ton showing u most valuable advance
in surgery-namely, the successful SUBJ
stitution of catgut, ivory and bone freed
from chalk for defects in bones, muscles
and nerve sinews. The juices of the
body are sucked up in the inserted ma
terial, thereby establishing the junction
of the separated ends, without any short
ening of the part. He presented the
cases of patients in whom there had
been an insertion of from six to ten cent?
metres of catgut to supply defects in the
leaders of the hands, to which complete
mobility had been restored. This case
had previously been impossible. In the
case of another patient Professor Gluck
removed q tumor from the thigh, aus
ing a considerable defect in the bone.
He inserted ivory, and no shortening en-
sued. In another case he removed a
large piece of nerve in the groin and in
serted catgut, and the functions re-
manned completely satisfactory. These
IRE considered wonderful achievements.

OUTDOOR GAMES.


Richard D. Sears, who won the tennis
championship at singles so many years,
distinctly says that he will not compete in
any tennis matches this season. He will
play simply for practice and health.
The Canadian Lacrosse association is hav-
ing considerable difficulty in preventing
professionalism from entering into amateur
circles. The rivalry between amateur teams
of the big cities In Canada Is 50 great that
there is a tendency TO make life easy for
the good players, just rs Rsimilar tendency
has shown itself In the United States in this
various athletic clubs concerning the good
nthletes. The Canadian authorities speak
of the custom in vigorous terms, and in
tend keeping a strict watch on suspicious
characters.
The Canadian Lacrosse association has
issued 700 playing certificates. This mum
Der represents about fifty clubs, for certiA-
Gates are issued only to active players.
There Is still n complaint in tennis circles
that courts which are frequently used can
not DO kept in good order, no matter
whether they are clay, turf or the com
Iesite clay and gravel. The latter wears
well, but when it does become rough 1t is
difficult to fix. Asphalt Is good, but 1t is
too expensive to be used by the mass. For
an all round cheap court which is easily
repaired clay stands the best test.
The championship fixtures at ennis to
be hSx n..Sewport in August already
promise to have tho largest number of en-
tries on record for this annual event, and
1t is not at all unlikely that Richard D.
Sears may be one Of the competitors.
The Berkeley Athletic club has found
cricket to be n very popular game, and the
team It organized TO represent 1t in the
spring has shown the good effects of steady
practice by winning many outside matches.
II. McNutt is one Of the strongest players
on the team, and has lone good work in
getting the members together and coach
ing them. He predicts that the cricket
team will win more laurels for the club
than the baseball team.
The increase of tennis clubs in Canada
has caused discussions of forming a ma
tional tennis association to be modelled
after the ruling tennis organization of the
United States. CanadA's ruling athletic
association is six years old.

The last victory of Kemp over Matter

two races in Australia recently, was won

An English rowing critic predicts that
Charles G. Psotta, the American who is
now there to take part in the Henley re-
gatta, will show a repetition of the form he
displayed last year. He says: "Psotta will
lead for a short distance and will be pulled
down after half way by Nckalls." Nick

prising American last year. He describes
Psotta's stroke as nervous and jerky.
Psotta is a very steady trainer and has
beaten all american amateurs at single

Ex-Governor Pollock was the Oldest
ex-governor of the state alike in years
and in service. He was elected in 1854.
and was succeeded by William F. Packer,
of Lycoming, who died years ago.
Packer and Pollock each served only one
term, and Packer was succeeded by An
drew G.. Curtin in 1861, who served two
terms, and who is yet living, and now
the Oldest ex-governor in both years and
service. Curtin was succeeded by John
w. Geary in 1867, who served two terms,
and died Don after his retirement.
Geary was succeeded by John F. Hart
ranft, who served two terms, and who
died in 1889. Henry NJ. Hoyt succeeded
Hartranft in 1879, the first under the pro.
vision of the new constitution that made
the term four years, and made the govern

ATHLETIC CLUB GOSSIP.

TIT gift by Mr.. Henry L. Higginson, OF
Boston, to Harvard university OF twenty
acres Of ground for athletics will make,
when all other land given for the same
purpose Is in condition to use, nearly loo
acres. All the plots are within a few
minutes walk Of the college square.
The general feeling among college ath
letes is that the recent ~carousing Of the
Harvard students will act as a death knell
to the already enfeebled plan of a dual
league between Yale and Harvard. This
league WINS Harvard's plan to be rather ex-
elusive on account of age, social standing,
etc, but winning the intercollegiate cup
for the seventh time this year proved to be
too much for the eXuberance of some of
her ardent students, who have caused severe
criticism from other colleges and the press
by their recent vandalism on the college
grounds on the night OF the intercollegiate
games.
The rejection of the entries to the bicycle
race Of the recent eastern championship
meeting Of Rich, Clark and Campbell, now
Of the New York Athletic club, will DO n
good test of the rule of the Amateur Ath-
letic union which prohibits men represent
ing one club within three months of wear
ing the colors of another one. These three
famous riders have worn the emblem of
the Berkeley Athletic club for many
months, but before they can wear the N.
Y. A. @. colors they will either have to get
a release from their old club or wait for
three months to elapse.
Captain George w Jordan, OF the Olym-
pic Athletic club of San Francisco, resigned
as IA delegate from that body to the Pacific
Coast Amateur Athletic association on
account of the refusal of his club to uphold
him in his effort to debar an athlete named
Little from competing at the Pacific coast

An effort is being made by the Columbia
Athletic club, OF Washington, d. c., to
have the date for the regular championship
games, which will be held on the Columbia
A. @. grounds at Analostan Island, changed
from Sept, Is to one week later. The
patrons of amateur sport In Washington
expect it will be one OF the events OF the
season of the city.
Il. NJ. Vandervoort, of the Manhattan
Athletic club, Is enjoying the hospitality
of the Olympic club, of San Francisco. He
recently gave an exhibition of hurdle
jumping which was greatly admired by
the Californians, for they had never before
seen such form. Judging by Wander.
voort's record made In tho east, he can
give Purcell, who recently won the hurdle
championship of the Pacific coast, about
10 yards start over the high obstacles in
the 20 yard race.

HOW MANY WORDS IN ENGLISH



Estimates of Different AutLorItiss and q
Comparison of Dictionaries.
An interesting question suggested by
an ancient waif of a book is the number
of English words now existing. Con.
siderable difference of opinion exists ON
this point. Mr.. George P. Marsh, an
American author of reputs, in his Lee
lures on the English Language" esti-
mates that the number Gn 1860 prob
ably does not fall short of 100, OOO;" and
large additions, especially in art and SCI
ence, AVE come into use since that date.
Other writers, however, come to a differ
ent conclusion, and think that 40, 900
would include the whole. 1t depends .
good deal on how calculations are made.
If all the subsidiary words-participles
n the ike-are to be taken into ac-
count, it will swell the sum total very
considerably.
Taking the first three words that oc-
cur at random, we find that from dem
onstrate," in one of our modern diction-
aries, there ara thirteen derivatives;
from the word bright there are
twelve, and from "deplore" there are
ten. There is also redundance in other
forms. In one of Todd's editions Of DIR.
johnson there are upward of eighty
words with the prefix "all"-all-comply.
ing, a~ll-divining, all-drowsy, and SO on
"a very notable instance of dictionary
padding. In ways like these the vocab-
ulary may be indefinitely increased.
Probably if we take leading words and
all their derivatives, the number at the
present time will exceed Mr.. Marsh's es,
timnsa. An approximate ~verifcatiou
of this may be found by multiplying the
number of pages in any good modern
dictionary by the average number OF
words in a page.
Shakespeare's works, it is believed, in
clude about 10, 900 separate words, and
Millions about 5000; but from these fig
ures we have no criterion of the extent
of the actual English vocabulary. 1t may
be mentioned here that while Cockeram
has only about 1000 or 5000 words,
there are in Bailey's Dictionary approx
imately about $4,000, and in Johnson's
not more than that. In some Of the
larger modern works, again, the figures,
IS has been said, reach to upward of
100, 900.
In DR.. Johnson's vocabulary many
technical and scientific terms were omit
ted, and in his original preface he ex-
cuses himself in a very naive and char
hcteristic fashion 81 could not, he says,
visit caverns to learn the miners Ian,
guage, nor take a voyage to perfect my
skl in the dialect of navigation, nor
visit the warehouses of merchants and
the shops of artificers to gain the names
Of wares, tools and operations of which
no mention is found in books. An adj
verse critic might be inclined to ask:
Why not? But, all the same, It will be
readily conceded that he did a great
work according to his lights. The science
of philology has been revolutionized sincs
his day, but his labors largely contrib
uted to the earlier stages of its progress.

the favorite, and he disappointed no one
who had backed him. He was the peoples
choice, as was Salvador in his recent race
with the gallant Tenny. Uncle Bob was
ridden by JOCKEY hilev. one OF she best
jockeys on the turf. This is what he said
immediately after the race 10 a reporter Of
The Chicago Tribune:
THE horse went easy from the start.
They were all pretty well punched ut the
half and three-quarters. When we pulled
into the stretch l saw he had got the
Others tired enough for him to win easily,
and / didn't urge him at all. 1t was "A
dead clear thing. ] think Bob could nave

a long stride, good wind, and / think him
fast, too. He is a good distance horse, and
has one of the finest dispositions l ever
knew. He'll be better two years from
now, and in a long pull will surprise the
best OF iem."
His last remark was certainly a good one,
for out of the great mass of people who
saw the race there were very few indeed
who were not OF the same opinion.
Uncle Bob is bred in closely kindred lines
