Foot ball and SchOlarahip.

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Apparently the faculty Of Princeton coll
lege have not been affected by the attacks
upon foot ball emanating from certain old
gentlemen and ladies in New York city.
1t was rumored that the college authorities
intended putting unusual restrictions on
the game, but from all accounts they have
decided not to interfere at all. Examina-
ton has proved that the members Of the
victorious foot ball team stand quite as
well in the class room as non-playing stu
dents. Ward, Ballet Taylor ard Blake are
thigh graders while Trenchard, Brown,
Wheeler and King stand well. As one of
the strongest arguments of the critics was
that devotion to athletics checked the in
tellectual progress of the athletes, this
ought to go in as pretty good evidence to
the fathers Of the land, who are the judges
in the end.
simultaneously with this announcement
comes another one to the effect that the
movement for the modification of the rules
of the game is making good progress. 1t
will probably result in limiting interference,
barring the more dangerous mass play Of
this season, and imposing stricter duties
upon the field officers of the game. These,
it must be admitted, are necessary reforms
That they have been undertaken by players
and coachers demonstrates the ability Of
the great American college game to purge
itself of evils without the attendance Of
old woman nurses.

Smoke Consumers in Paris.

From the London Globe.
Some help for the fog nuisance may be
derived from the forthcoming report of the
conseil d'hygiene of Paris on the best
means Of getting rid of smoke in large
cities. The conseil has undertaken a large
number of experiments on the subject at
the request of the municipal council of
Paris, where the increasing number of fac
tories and electric light stations is making
the atmosphere too smoky for the public
taste One drawback to furnaces giving
complete combustion of the coal or coke is
that the heat Is sometimes so intense to
melt the bars. The new furnace of NJ
Dulac, which has been tried by the munich
pality of Bercy, at Paris. is, however, free
from this defect. The bars are hollow and
kept cool by water circulating in them In
other respects the furnace is said to give
great satisfaction, and is very economical

THE LOCOMOTIVE WHISTLE.
A Disastrous Smashup Led to It's In

n D1sastrOuS Sm0shup Led to Its In.
ventiOn.
From the Cardiff Mail.
When locomotives were first built and
began to trundle their small loads I'D and
down the newly and rudely constructed
railways of England the country roads
were for the most part crossed at grade
and the engine driver had no way of CIV
ing warning Of his approach except by
blowing tin horn. This horn, as may be
imagined, was far from being a sufficient
warning. One day in the year 1893 a farm
er of Thornton was crossing the railway
tracks on one Of the country roads with
great load of eggs and butter. Just as he
came out upon the track a train approach
Justify. but the farmer did not hear it.
Eighty dozen eggs and fifty pounds Of
butter were smashed into an indistinguish-
able. unpleasant mass and mingled with
the kindling wood to which the wagon was
reduced. The railway company had to
pay the farmer the value Of his fifty
pounds of butter. his $50 eggs. his horse
and his wagon.
1t was regarded as a very serious matter.
and straightway a director Of the company,
Ashlen Bagster by name, went to Alton
Grange. where George Stephenson lived to
see II he could not invent something that
would give a warning more likely to be
heard Stephenson went to work and the
next day had a contrivance which, when
turned on, gave out a shrill discordant
sound. The railway directors, greatly de-
lighted, ordered similar contrivances at
tached to all the locomotives and from
that day to this the voice Of the locomo-
tive whistle has never been silent.

From Harper's Weekly.
Professional sports are Of small conse-
quence. and. in so far as they have any
consequence at all, are good merely in that
they excite those who look on and admire
the performances to try to take part in
similar ones Of their own. 1t is a good thing
that the young merchant or lawyer, young
bank clerk or dry goods clerk, should be-
long to a local base ball nine, and should
have q chance now and then for an hour
or two's brisk exercise. This will give tone
to both his body and his mind, and will
offset the evil consequences of a merely
sedentary occupation. But the only good
resulting from seeing a battle between two
paid professional mines is the emulation ex-
cited in the minds of the younger portion of
the onlook ers to try their own hands at the
bat.
The great development and wide diffusion
and practice of athletic exercises among

century Chs diffusion taking place among

CrOws BOycotting a Tame Brother.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star
1t is a well-known fact that wild animals
and birds do not care to receive back into
their society member that has lived a sea-
son with man as a pet. This was illustrated
In noisy manner out near Pleasant Ridge
yesterday, according to the story told by a
witness. "A tame crow" said he had for
several years cawed around the farmhouse
of our neighbor. and yesterday was seated
on a fence away out on the farm cawing
when great flock of crows came along and
settled in the field. The tame one grew
frantic. cawing and scolding till the atten-
ton of the flock was attracted to IL. Rising
en- masse the flock circled around and
alighted on the fence about the tame one
which became frightened and flew up. 1t
was followed by the others, which crowded
about it in its flight and forced IL to 'hy
farther and farther away from the farm
house and over a great wood. There they
all set on it and pecked it and clawed the
poor thing till its flight was marked Nith
feathers falling. All this time they kept up
terrible cawing and calling like a conven-
ton of reformed drunkards. They would
undoubtedly have killed the poor bird but
1t spied man at work in the woods and
dropped down to him. He proved a friend.
and Jim Crow was soon perched on his
shoulder cawing defantly at his relatives
who had cast him from among Them but
who now flew to respectful distance

Glacial Action.

From the Fortnightly Review.
Every glacier carries with it. imbedded in
It's undersurface, numbers Of rocks and
stones which, during the slow but unceas-
ing motion over its bed. crush and grind
down all rocky projections. producing in
the end gently rounded or almost fat sur
faces. even on the hardest and toughest
rocks. In many of the valleys of Wales,
the lake district and Scotland every ex-
posed rock has acquired this characteristic
outline, and the same feature can be traced
on all the rocky slopes and often on the
SUBMITS of the lesser heights, and the ex-
PLANTATION of how these forms have been pro-
duced is not a theory only. but has been
observed in actual operation In the accessi-
BILE portions Of many glaciers.
Rocks and stones are to be seen imbedded
In the ice and actually scratching, growing
and grinding the rock beneath in their
slow but irresistible onward motion. The
and other lakes. as well as the Thousand
Islands Of the st. Lawrence, are thus ice
ground. and the amount OF the grinding
can OFTEN be seen to be proportional to the
pressure and motion Of the advancing
glacier.

pam above Derwentwater a projecting rock,

Mr.. Bemt's New Exploit.

From the London Globe.
Mr.. Theodore Bent, accompanied by his
wife. will leave England in a few days on
another scientific expedition. Mr.. Bent has
given the following account of his plans to
representative Of Reuters agency: 1.-The
objective point Of my new expedition Is the
Hadramaut, the ancient frankincense coun-
try, and one of the four ancient kingdoms
of southern Arabia. which formerly sup
piled the world with its more important
Injuries. A botanist from Kew will accom-
pany US. and we shall be met at Alexandria
by an Arab geological collector, and at Alden
by an Indian surveyor. Our expedition will
thus number five persons; but this will, of
course, not include interpreters and a ma
tive escort, which will be provided by the
Sheikh Of Makulla, whose influence extends
over the whole field of our proposed opera
TONS" Speaking Of the country to be ex-
plored, Mr.. Bent said: 1T is practically
unknown, the only European who has WIS.,
tied 1t being a German traveller. who went
but scanty information. The district to be
explored lies about 800 miles up the coast
from Alden, and consists of a narrow strip
between the sea and the desert, the area
of which is absolutely unknown. 1t Is.
however. reputed to be rich in ruins and
inscriptions Of the old Hadramaut kings.
On arriving at Alden my expedition will
proceed up the coast to Makulla, distance
of 800 miles. and thence In all probability
camelsr riding will be our mode Of travelling.
After leaving Makulla our movements will
be guided by what the sheikh tells US We
can do. We expect, however, to complete
our work by about April. when we hope to
return to England. / decided to explore
this district in continuation of my work
previously done In Abyssinia and In NASH
onaland. and to obtain further evidence as
to the early wealth and power of the south
ern Arabian Kingdoms. The expedition has
received support from the RoyalGeographioal
Society, the British Association and the
Royal Society. I have every confidence"
said Mr. Bent in conclusion. "that the ex-
petition will have important results. not
only from an archaeological but from other
scientific points of view.

He Thought Gen. Grant Was Lazy.


From the Chicago Record.
H. H. Kohlsaat tells this story of his only
meeting with Gen. u. s. Grant: One day,
when he was seven years old. he rode into
Galena with his father on a load of garden
produce. They drove to the market square
MY father had received from Mr. Grant an
order for a basket Of vegetables" said Mr..
Kohlsaat. He told me to take the basket
over to Grants hide store. ! went over
there and I remember distinctly that the
hide and rolls of leather made very bad
smell. When I walked into the store. saw
a man tipped back in a chair with his feet
on a stack of hides. He was smoking a
cigar and reading a newspaper. / went up
to him and asked him IL he was Mr.. Grant.
He looked round and nodded his head. Then
he told me to put the basket over by the
counter.
when 1 was going home with my father,
told him that Mr.. Grant must be a lazy
man. The one impression / received was
that he must be a poor business man. so in
dolent and Indifferent did he seem as he sat
tipped back there smoking his cigar"

Gladstone made his great speech
on home rule in the Commons on
the 18th. 1t was a master effort
and was listened to with much in
terest by members of the ROYAL
family. The following press COM
ment shows how the speech was
received:
The Daily News says: The
double-chamber arrangement is in
fnitely better than the proposal of
1886. The retention of the Irish
members az Westminster is the
most likely part of the bill to ex-
cite keen resistance. As a whole.
the bill is so cautious and moderate
it will probably convert many mod
crates"
The Times: Those whom Glad
stone failed to convince in SO will
not be converted now by a less
powerful and less persuasive ap-
peal. The case as presented
abounded with ingenious plausible
tiles, yet it produced an impression
of profound disappointment"
The Standard: "The measure is
impracticable and impossible. If
passed it would never work. The
details are open to stronger objec-
ton than those of the bill of SO"
Morning Post: "The measure
is more futile and fantastic than
any before submitted to civilized
assembly"
Freeman's Journal: while open
to improvement the bill is altogeth-
er good, water-tight measure"
