~ ". Gregg. ing the "sticks" well.
Fearing will undoubtedly win the low
hurdle race-the 22O yard. There should
be great race for the place between Hor-
ton, OF Cornell. and the Yale and Columbia
men. Ramsdell, of Princeton. gave great
promise early in the season of developing
into champion. He took up baseball,
however, and this has, in a great measure,
spoiled his chances. .
1t seems toregone conclusion that Har-
vard Will this year win all three places in
the two-mile bicycle race. Pratt, P. Davis
and Hawes outclass the other competitors.
Davis should finish first.
Harvard has also a good chance to win
the broad jump with either Hale, Green or
Bloss Pell will jump for Columbia and
hemsdell for Princeton. The last named is
one OF the best jumpers in America, but has
not trained for the event regularly this
year. Pell is last years inter-scholastic
champion. He seems sure point winner this
year.
High Jumping and vaulting.
In the high jump Howard will again como
to the front with Fearing, Green and Sher-
win. The three are likely to finish in the
order named. Sill, of Princeton, has a
chance for third. Sherwin, besides scoring
points in the high jump, is the favorite for
tne pole vault. Last year he cleared 10 feet
515 inches. He will probably fight it out
with Cartwright, of Yale, who has a record
OF 10 feet inches.
The hammer, like most of the other
events, will also probably go where it went
last year-to Harvard. Evins took Sec
ond place to Finlay last year when
the latter broke the intercollegiate
record. Evins is throwing the ham
mer even farther this spring than
he did then. Princeton has number of
heavy football men practicing for this event.
The shot-putting competition will probably
be won by one Of the hammer-throwers;
Evins, Beveridge and Lyman have chances
in the order named.
To sum up, it seems that the individual
competition this year will be more exciting
than in 1891. 1t is not. probable, however,
that so many records will be broken. The
one mile walk, two mile bicycle race, the
high jump and pole vault records may be
lowered. Harvard will score more than 40
points; Yale should be second, with close to
30; Princeton may score about "a, and
Columbia will be doing we'll to get a
dozen. WALTER G. DoHM

New York Evening SUM-
Bernice Pauhi, high chieftess, was the
great-granddaughte of Kamehameha tie
Great and Kalantopon. These are not men,
bers of the circle OF Greek mythology, but
Hawaiian dignitares Bernice married
Charles R. Bishop, of Massachusetts, an
early settler of the Sandwich Islands.
When she died in 1884, and being childless,
she devoted large portion of her wealth to
founding the Kamehameha School of Tech
nology, which gives instruction in the arts,
trades and sciences to native Hawaiian
youths.
Recently two large buildings have been
added, one of which is a museum of ar
cheology and ethnology of these islands,
and in them has been placed the lnheri-
tance of tools, implements for hunting and
fishing, warlike apparatus and objects for
ceremonious occasions which have come
down in the royal succession to Mrs. Bishop.
A correspondent, Frederick L. Stearns.
speaks highly of their chronological value.
and points out that it is the only instance
where a people have themselves preserved
the relics Of their savage and primitive lite.

Carving Stone by Electricity.

The elaborate stonework which adorns
the exterior of some of our finest buildings
public and private, is the result of slow and
tedious working by hand. The carving of
stone can now be done in less than half the
time formerly occupied by the use of an
electrical reciprocating tool. This can be
regulated to strike a series of blows at any
speed and with any degree of force, and
thus the physical labor hitherto necessary
is done away with. The instrument is also
coming into use in the studios of sculptors,
who are much hampered by the material
restrictions involved in the working out of
their ideas. The sculptor can now devote
his entire attention to the lines the instru-
ment IS to follow, and the cutting of the
marble is done far more rapidly and accur-
ately than it would have been by muscular
mower

both dashes. He is a remarkably strong
runner and comes at the finish with a rush
that has beaten such men as Downs, Jewett
and Remington. He can run an unlimited
number of heats without tiring, and Ibis
will give him an advantage over the others.
Recently, however, he has been running in
poor form. Swain, of Princeton, who fin.
ished next to Vredenburg last year, and
Swayne. of Yale, are the likeliest of the
others, though Allen is doing fast work at
900 yards. The Harvard men are always
dangerous. And the Yale men, under the
coaching of mike" Murphy, who is back
at New Haven, may also furnish a surprise.
For the Longer Races.
W. II. Wright, of Harvard, and Roddy.
of Princeton, if both are In good condition,
will make a close race in the quarter-mile
dash. Wright, in previous trials, has run
the distance in so seconds Roddy, two
years ago, was beaten by yard
Roddy has run poorly, but he may have
trained into his old form again. A large
field of new men will also start in this race.
OF these the best are McCampbell, Black
and Brokaw, of Princeton; Merrill and
Bingham of Harvard, and Glenny, Collins
and Beardsley, of Yale. Brokaw is,
think, the fastest of the lot. He is dark
horse that will bear watching. Brokaw has
run in better than 80 seconds this spring
Wright. however, will probably finish first
Probably the best races of the day will be
the half mile and one mile runs. In the
half such men us w. B. Wright, Jr, of
Yale. T. B. Turner, of Princeton, and Cor
bin and White, of Harvard, will meet
Wright won the championship last year at
this distance in 80 1-5. White has rec
ord of 200 Is. Turner has shown his speed
by. defeating w. c. Dows at GOO yards, and
his endurance by winning prizes in one aft
ernoon in quarter, halt-mile and 1000 yard
races. The intercollegiate record is :57 1-5.
Frank Lee will run well for the University
of Pennsylvania, but will probably find
himself outclassed There will be a score
of new men in the race
The Winner in tho Mile Race,
The mile race is even more open than the
half Harvard will be represented BY a
strong trio in Carr Nichols and Lowell
Whitney will run for Columbia, Wood
bridge tor Princeton, and A. c. Williams
and Scoville for Yale. Carr is last years
champion. He won the race in four min
utes 81 2-5 seconds. Two weeks before
Nichols had won the mile run at the Har-
vard-Yale meeting in four minutes 35 1-5
seconds on a very heavy track-really, a
better performance than Nichols. Lowell
holds the Harvard record, having run a
mile in four minutes 81 1-5 seconds. Whit
ney, Woodbridge and Williams have each
done performances equal to four minutes 36
seconds, or be ter 1 fancy Lowell for first
place, with Nichols second
Columbia's men still think Coils will
win the one-mile walk. Gregg, of Amherst,
who wen easily two years ago, is again on
the track, and is in good form. R. s. Hale,
who holds the Harvard record, may repre-
sent Cornell this year, but in that case is
not likely to be in such good condition as
he was while at Cambridge. Borcherling

The salaries paid to Colonial Governors

FOUND INSIDE OF TREES,
Toads and Frogs Released by the Opera
tions of the Woodchoppers.

It'd Bits.J
In some strangely shaped fossil trees ac-
cidentally dug out of stone quarry were
found treasured up the petrifed-l looking
bodies of reptiles, birds, bats, and such
small deer-which had thus been honored
by preservation in massive mausoleums
When cutting open the trunk of an elm, a
live toad was found lying concealed about
three feet from, the root 1t skipped away
very alertly, yet, we are told, no tree was
more sound, nor could any aperture be dis
covered through which the little captive
could have penetrated. 1t is supposed that
the spawn from which it originated must
have accidentally been treasured up in the
tree from the first moment OF its vegeta-
tiou.
In like manner, while some men were
squaring the trunk of an oak they had
just felled, they suddenly started back in
astonishfhent on seeing an hideous frog,
about the size of a large pullets egg, en-
crusted in the tree, tour inches in from the
bark and 15 feet from the root. Though
mangled by the ak, the creature still
moved, but it appeared old, thin and de-
crepit. AS in other cases, careful examin-
alton revealed no entrance to its prison
house

Pictorial Language.

1t is told of James Nasmyth, the famous
engineer, that, when he was travelling in
Sweden, where he knew not one word of
the language, and where his English was as
little understood, he used to order his dinner
at the inn by drawing in his sketchbook
whatever he wanted. For example, he
would draw table covered with a cloth.
and cooked fowl, smoking hot, upon it,
with vegetables, bread, cheese, salt, and
anything else a pressing appetite might
suggest as desirable.

and Ottley, a strong pair, will wear the
orange and black Of Princeton. Borcher-
ling, by reason Of his victory in fast time
over Coils, is now the tavorite. The
Columbia man was not in his best form two
weeks ago, however, and may turn the
tables on the Princetonians. Hale and
Gregg are very unsteady walkers.

A Suggestion for Electrical Conduits.

W. H. Preece, who is wellknown in
England as the electrician in charge Of tho
Government postal telegraph service, in
writing on the retardat1on due to iron pipes,
comments on the tendency of engineers to
put wires in iron pipes underground, to
secure safety from wind and snow. This Is
done at the expense of effectiv eness, and
long lines of iron piping will probably be
death to fast speed telegraphy. Of course,
in telephony iron piping is seriously
detrimental to single wire working,
but then no one would now dream
of using any but the metallic circuit sys-
tenn in any underground work. But Mr..
Preece offers for the serious consideration
of electrical engineers another point. He
says: MAY not wood or earthenware or
cement replace iron as q conduit for cleo
trical conductors, and be made equally
effective for the mechanical and economical
point of view? There is no doubt that this
question will presently be answered by the
production of a conduit that will entirely
supersede the iron pipe, which now is tho
nearest appliance to the hand of the en-
pineer'

Electric Lighting In Tim of War,

The immense advantage of the prompti-
tude with which powerful electric lights
can now be installed in commanding posi-
tions was exemplifed in the recent Civil
War in Chile. An electrician was sent out
to Chile by a French firm of electrical en-
gineers in charge of an electric light and
power plant for the Santiago Exhibition.
Just as the exhibition was about to close
the Civil War broke out, and one Sun
day morning the electrician received
telegram from the Minister of
the Interior at Valparaiso order
ing him to betake himself immedi-
ately to that city. On arriving the electri-
clan was told to install, without delay, at
Fort Boreas protector which would COM
mand the Bay of Valparaiso. After an
hours search in the arsenal Siemens pro-
jector was uneartbed A 12-horse power
threshing machine engine was then bor-
rowed and dynamo was brought up from
the exhibition at Santiago (140 miles dis
tant) by special train, together with q sup
ply of posts and wires. Thirty-two hours
after the receipt of the telegram the plant
was at work. 1t ran well for six months
until the protector was blown to pieces by
she'll
