Making Clay PiDea.

The common clay pipe, like the needle,
has to undergo a large number of opera
tions before completion, nearly all OF when
are conducted without mechanical aid.
The clay, after being levigated, mixed
and kneaded 10 proper consistency. Is
rolled out roughly into shape. This the
molder takes. and placing the head or
bowl end ON special support thrusts
long needle into the center OF the tail OF
the roll, thus piercing the stem.
Thus pierced, and still containing the
needle, the roll is placed in the mould,
which Is Of steel and made in two parts,
and the latter Is closed and put In the press.
Then compressor is pushed into the open
part Of the mold to form the bowl Thus
the clay is compressed.
The press is now opened, the pipe taken
from the mold and passed on to finish
ors. who scrape out all mold seams, pass
another needle into the stem, stamp any
letters that are to appear and send on to
the drying room.
Here. when sufficiently hardened, those
which have to be polished are polished, and
all are sent forward TO other workmen,
who examine them, reject the defective
ones. and proceed to put the perfect ones
in the saggers ready for the furnaces,
which are similar to those nsed in potteries,
and where they are exposed for five or six
hours.
They are subsequently dipped in a mix
ture to remove the porosity of the clay.
This is a mere outline of what is needed
for a common clay pipe; the operations In
the fancy patterns are more complicated.

Reporting the Battle Of Sedan.

Sedan was marked by efforts Of journal
!stic enterprise-crude, it is true, but iu-
dicative at least of energy. 1t was the
New York Tribune which took first
spear" The wielder Of the weapon was "a
Briton. Holt White, man whose abilities
should have given him better fate than a
premature death in an Austrian hospital,
was with the Germans on the day 80 I'M
fortunate for France. He stood by Sheri-
dan when Napoleon's letter Of surrender
was handed by General Reille to old Will
helm; the napkin that had constituted
Relies flag Of truce was given him as
souvenir And then with dauntless cour-
age he walked right ocross the battlefield
through the still glowing embers OF the
battle, reached the frontier, made for the
nearest railway station and got to Brussels
early next morning. He could not tele-
graph from there.
His own story was that when he ten
dered his message the people at the Office
refused to transmit it, scouting him as
either a lunatic or "bear" bent on Gre
ating a panic on the Stock exchange, but
have heard that he had not the cash with
him to pay for long message. Anyhow
he came to London, getting there the day

A Queer Cave.

A dingy cave with several thousand tin
cans for roof, u pile OF grimy blankets
and gunny sacks stuffed with rags for a
bed. few old cans and broken brick
against the clay bank for fireplace-this
is the habitat of an old man on Terwilli-
gers claim, about 500 feet north of the
point where the west side Southern Pacific
line crosses Slavin's road in South Port
land. The cave is dug into the side OF q
steep hill and is sufficiently obscured by
brush and trees to give the old man the
seclusion he seems to desire.
The cave the old man lives in now is a
marvel, considering the implements he had
to work with. The only tool he used was
broken shovel, tied with wires in several
places, with handle that was once sap
ling fir tree. He dug hole about IA feet
long, ten feet wide and IL feet deep, and as
the bank is hard clay the amount OF labor
he performed may be imagined. A man
with a good shovel could not remove such
a quantity Of earth in less than two or
three weeks. The thousands of small cuts
In the clay show that he took but small
amount Of earth at time, and gives some
idea Of the laborious task he had. The
roof is made of few crossbeams and fiat
tened out oil cans, piled about twenty deep
on top. Where he picked up such a guam
tity of oil cans is mystery, as one dray
could hardly carry them. The bedding
consists OF straw, old blankets, sacks and
rags. A dog would hesitate before passing
the night there-Portland Oregonian.

TIE NIEBELUNGENLIED.
An Interesting Lecture by Professor Boat
wright.


The second lecture Of the University Ex-
tension series, by Professor Boatwright, was
delivered In the chapel at Richmond College
yesterday evening at 8 o'clock. A large au-
dience greeted the Professor.
His subject was the Great Eplcs of Ger
many" The Lay Of the Niebelungen. the
greatest German epic. was fully discussed.
The subject was quite interesting and was
introduced in Il very pleasant manner. The
professor began by giving an account Of the
song, its material and the time OF its COM
position. It's language and verslfication fix
the date OF its final revision between 1900
and 1850. The chief characters were prCb-
ably persOnifcatiOns OF forces OF nature. II
was written when men believed In dragons,
giants and dwarfs
The hero Of the tragedy was Siegfried,
the vassal Of Gunther, one OF the three kings
OF Burgundians Siegfried fell in love with
Kriemhild. the sister Of Gunther. He, how
ever. did not venture TO ofrer his hand and
heart to the fair maiden until he had per
formed some deed OF great bravery. After
many battles. In which he proved himself
a hero indeed. he went with Gunther 10
Iceland for the purpose OF aiding him In
winning the beautiful Brunhild. Gunther,
with the aid OF Siegfrled, finally succeeded.
He. in return for the assistance rendered
him by Slegfricd, gave to him his sister,
Kriemhild. In marriage. All went well for
several years until n quarrel arose between
Kriemhild and BrunhiId about the greatness
OF their husbands. BrInhild determined to
take Siegfried's life. Old Hagen the vassal
of King Gunther, assassinated him.
Kremhild grieyed many years for her MUIR
dered husband. During these years she
longed for revenge.
She at last married Etzel. the king OF the
Huns. At the expiration OF fourteen years
Gunther. with his vassals and army. paid
a visit TO EtZel and his wife While at the
court Of Etzei Kriemhiid sought revenge
The Huns charged the Burgundians. A
death struggle ensued. in which both ma
tions were almost entirely destroyed. Finally
the great warrior Hagen was captured and
carried bound in chains to Kremhld. who
slew him with Segfried's sword. Hilder-
brand then killed her. This lecture was in
terspersed with beautiful stereopticon views
which were skillfully handled by Mr.. c. w.
Duke, of Nansemond county. The lecture
was not only exceedingly interesting but
very instructive.
No doubt the cultured audience went away
deeply impressed with the German Had
the Niebungenlied.

series will be delivered next Tuesday even

The Physical Strain of Football.

Few except those who have been through
the experience are aware what exertion
and strain and exhaustion holly contest
ed football match involves. 1t is ell a
great deal more than appears on the sur
face, and the self control required in the
midst OF great excitement adds to the nerv-
Gus tension besides the physical fatigue.
This OF itself is enough to try an average
man, but when to it is added the struggles,
the falls, the grapplings, the blows TOR
there are blows once in awhile), it requires
stamina and real endurance as well as
strength to stand IL.
Because the men on the opposite sides in
the field are not seen squaring off and
striking at each other In regular Sullivan
Corbett style it does not follow that there
are not scientific ways In which in the tus-
sizes team can be- materially weakened or
some particularly aggressive member OF II
disabled. Let any man in fair condition be
suddenly thrown to the ground and then
have one or two heavy men, or 1t may be
seven or eight, or even more, fall and
throw their weight on him.
Possibly his hand may be under one OF
their feet. or In the fall one OF their fore
arms may have choked him across the
neck. How much wind and energy will
an average man have after one such an ex-
perience as that, And yet it is common
