tendency on the part of the crew to drop the
shoulders and back instead of keeping them
stiff, in order that their strength may be
best applied. Then, too, all the men do
not swing straight, the body webbing
slightly from side to side. On the recover
the men drop their hands little too low,
thus cooking or raising the oar trifle too
high, and thereby losing time. These are
Yale's chief faults as a crew.
Boating men attribute Yale's supremacy
on the water to the fact that her crews have
always adhered to a single system of train
ing. Year after year her oarsmen have been
coached by the same man, teaching the same
system. The result is that once the men
in the boat become proficient in Bob
Cooks improved English stroke, they are
able to use it again in succeeding years.
Two or three veterans in the crew, there
fore, give backbone to the whole eight
With Harvard, however, the case is wholly
different. There is such uncertainty as to
the system of training, and the stroke to
be adopted, that it is changed every year.
No matter how thoroughly the crew mas
ter a particular stroke and how well they
work together one year, if the system be
entirely changed the next year, the men
are not much better of than d crew of nov
ices.

Numerous minor victories followed until in
May, 1899, when he defeated Herbert Mapes
IN the 10 yards hurdles, and equaled the
worlds record of 16 seconds. The same
day he did the low hurdles in 25 % sec
onds. That year he captured the intercol-
legiate championship, and the Canadian
championship in 1890 in the 100 yards hur-
dies. On May 81, 1891, Williams captured
the intercollegiate championship in the 40
and 300 yards hurdles He is also clever
football player. and an oarsman OF no
small ability.

When a Belt Jumps of a Pulley.

1t does make tremendous racket, to say
nothing OF destruction of property and
danger to life, when belt jumps off a
pulley and proceeds to wind itself down
around the shaft. A belt has no business
to jump off the pulley, and will not do it if
properly proportional for the load it is to
carry, well taken care of and not over
loaded. Still, these conditions are hard TO
be met, and where a supply Of prevention
has become exhausted few pounds Of cure
must be used. A tin tube running loose
upon a shaft viii do no harm except TO
make little noise. When belt jumps off
on such tube there is no chance for it TO
wind up. 4 good deal more noise is the
result, and less danger and damages, &C
cording 20 the Manufacturers Gazette.

Every time we strike a match, says The
Aluminium Age, we are indebted to the
men who have studied science for the mere
love Of it. The men that worked away at
coal tar lust TO see what was in it" made
the whole world their debtors by discover
ing aliZarin, the coloring principle of mad
der. And to those men the world is in
debted also for aniline, antipyrine and more
than 100 other coal tar products. Scientists,
wondering what was in crude petroleum,
found parafiine and vaseline. Pasteur won
dered what caused fermentation. He found
out and brought a new era TO wine making.
The singing and dancing of the teakettle
attracted the attention of a brain, and we
have as a consequence all the applications
OF steam. The swinging of a chandelier in
an Italian cathedral before the eyes of
young Calico was the beginning of a train
Of thought that resulted in the invention
OF the pendulum, and through it to the per-
fecting of the measurement of time, and
thus Its application and use in navigation,
astronomic observations, and in Thousand
ways we now pass by unnoted, has been of
such practical value that the debt TO scien-
tifc thought, even in this one instance, can
never be known.
