HISTORICAL GATHERINGS.

TIE first Sunday school was opened
by Robert Raillcs, in Gloucester, Eng
land, in 1881. The first Sunday school
i'll America was held in Hanover coun-
ty, Va, i'll 1856.
AT the first presidential election, the
states were entitled to 73 votes, but
only go votes were cast. New York did
not vote because She had not passed her
electoral law, and Rhode Island did
not, because she had not yet adopted
the constitution.
TIE invention of playing cards has
been variously attributed to India,
China, Arabia and Egypt. There seems
to be but little doubt that they origi-
mated in Asia and were introduced into
Europe by the Saracens about the close
of the thirteenth century.
THE first cotton factory in the United
States was started at Beverly, in 1889.

to him both real and exciting.

SCIENCE OF ALL KINDS.

FIrTY-oNE metals arc now known to
exist. -Four hundred years ago only
seven were known.
BIOLOGISTS consider kerosene to be
animal oil. Hence, what we burn in
lamps is the remains of long extinct
monsters of the earth.
Ice is accommodating at tho north
pole; some day, il is alleged by some
scientists, the earth will fall out of bal
ancc and man will be utterly annihi-
lated by the rush of moving objects.
IT was Prof. lIufcland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life might
bc set at two hundred years; this on the
general principle that the life of nearly
all living creatures is eight times tho
years. months or weeks of its period of
growth
DIVERS in the clear waters of the
tropical seas find that fish of different
colors, when frightened, do not all dart
in the same direction, but that each
different kind takes shelter in that por-
ton of the submarine growth nearest
to its color.
MANY of the stars arc heavier than
our sun. For example, Mizar the mid
die star in the tail of the Great Bear, is
forty times as heavy as the sun. To the
naked eye there are five or six thou
sands of these heavenly bodies visible.
In all probability there arc worlds re-
volving around them.
EXPERIMENTS arc to be made with n
light brick for interior partitions, cell
ings and other places where crushing
strength is not required. With ordi-
nary clay and sand about fifty per cent
of fine sawdust will be mixed; tho brick
will be nodded under heavy pressure
and then burncd until the sawtlust is
consumed

The Oxford and Cambridge race is oil
added interest to Americans this year by
reason of the prospective appearance OF
those famous and famously trained
crews In America and against our pct
ted Harvard or Yale. 1t will be n
worlds collegiate championship race
and so the prepare tons are going on
apacc. On the other side of the water
they arc training us never before. Yale
and Harvard are bringing all of their
famous coaches into line, for Bob Cook
will have Muttlcbury or Pitman against
him this year, and they are not as easily
conquered as Harvard's coaches. In
fact it was from Muttlebury's invinci-
blcs of 1855 and 1889 that the famous
Yale coach secured his most valuable
pointers.
The Oxford Cambridge race is over
the Thames course from Putncy to
Mortlalle, on March -, and as Oxford
has at least six of last years great
crew, it looks very favorable for Il
fourth successive victory to even up for
Cambridge's great conqucsts of 1856,
1887, 1888, 1889. 1t is believed an an
swer will come to the American chal-
lenge Immediately after this race The
situation briefly stated is this: Yale
and Harvard have sent formal chal-
lengcs TO Oxford and Cambridge for Il
race between the winners of the
Thames and New London races to be
rowed soon after the June contest be-
tween Yale and Harvard. These let
ters have been signed by Messrs George
A. Adee, A. l.. Cowles, and Dealy Rog-
ers for Yale, and byJ. J. Starrow. c.
L. Adams and Il. ~ Perkins for liar
ward. A cablegram announcing the
transmission of the letters was sent to
England at the same time, and on the
whole the conditions are very favorable
for an international race.
And that is why America has its eyes
on the Oxford-C Cambridge race of March
%, and is praying with all England for
clear weather and quiet water so that
the test will show the exact capacity of
the foreign crews.
Both crews have been in active train
ing since Ash Wednesday, and their
tests have been made so quietly that
nothing has yet leaked out. and odd,
favor the Oxford men, Cambridge lost
last year by reason of the poor work OF
Elm, the stroke. This year T. G.. Lewis
will hold that place and excellent re-
suits are looked for in consequence.
So far as known the two crews will

esAn investigation of this report by a
TIMES reporter yesterday, showed that
the matter was an idea of DR.. j. T..
Strickland, the popular councilman
from the Fifth ward. DR.. Strickland
told the reporter that he had been
studying the question very carefully, as
it had been presented to him by num-
bers OF citizens of his ward.
He did not know of any coal dealer
who gave light weight He was salts
fed with his purchases in coal, and, to
his own knowledge, did not know OF
anyone else who received short weight,
yet he believed the law would be good
one, and would protect both the dealer
and the customer. the former from un-
just accusation and the latter from
short weight. DR.. Strickland will offer
this resolution a the next meeting of
Council.
