About the Chrysophrase.


The chrysophrase, which has been spoken Of
as q fashionable gem, is a species of agate which
IL semi-transpsrent. It is found in a natural
state chiefly in silesia. It is not new stone,
but has been known for centuries. There is a
chapel in Prague where the entire walls are in.
laid with 1t. The color of the chrysophrase is a
pale yellow green. 1t has been quite successfully
initiated in ordinary agate, SO that tho price Of
the stone is comparatively low. 1t is the apos-
tolic stone OF st. Paul. and according to super.
stition it confers upon the wearer the gifts OF
eloquence, argument and logic. II the stone
becomes fad Of the hour it will hardly be be-
cause OF its symbolic meaning, for the gifts OF
argument have never been a popular attraction
of womankind.

Won DER ABE DOESN'T LIKE 1T.
He Says That the Eastern League Had For
feited Its Rights.


feited Its Rights.
II the league sustaius the arbitration commit
tee in granting the Eastern and Southern
leagues Of 1892 the right to reserve their last
years players. the St. Louis club will suffer
great loss, and be forced to open the season in
sadly crippled condition, as it will lose six of
its most promising players.
Watkins managed an Eastern League club last
season, and all winter, while the other leaeus
clubs we're busy picking up stars and other
available league material, Watkins was quietly
gathering the cream Of the Eastern League. His
experience as manager in that league proved Of
fncalculable aid to him and be succeeded in
getting together quite a formidable team
Won der Abe arrived home yesterday, and
when told OF the boards decision said: 1.-The
Eastern League has forfeited all right to the
players signed by st. Louis. They were not
paid their salaries. and the clubs in consequence
have no more hold on them than you have.
ST. Louis action in signing these PLAYERS was
certainly legitimate, and the league at previous
meetings practically ratified our action. Had
not been called home on a summons from the
sick bed OF nv son i would have stayed the
meeting out. and our side Of the would
have been heard, and I think needed. Why.
!ne Ess'ern League not only owes Garrison.
Barnett, Dolan and Griffin back salaries. but
they owe Manager Watkins of last years
Rochesters a considerable sum-"
Manager Watkins Of the st. Louis Browns
makes the following interesting statement re-
garding the state Of affairs of the Eastern
League:
''When the Eastern League disbanded last
season they did so on September Is. fourteen
days before contracts expired. The way the
Rochester players were paid was that divided
all the monev between the PLAYERS. giving each
man S2s. The amount Of money owed each
player was from SOS to S160. That is the way
the Rochester club quit The Providence team
took four OF my men 10 play the final series off
with Binghamton. guaranteeing each man
800 for the series. Swartwood got about $50
for his 300. McKeough got $50. Dolan got S45
and McGary got about $50 This is one instance
of the action of the Eastern League, which is
permitted to retain men who are not vet paid
for last years work Why. the Elmirs club
even owes Dolan money for work done last
June. and have vet nearly two months salary
coming from the Rochester club"

The amount Of the purses has been cut down
from about $4,000 day to 1880, but even
that decided cut has not brought the receipts
up to paying basis. The purses will hardly
bear another cut and 1t il therefore absolutely
necessary that the receipts should be
increased through the taking Of the races by
the pool rooms Of New York or by the inducing
Of quite a number Of additional bookmakers to
do business at the track. The latter course is
hardly practicable. especially in view Of the
limited entries, and unless the metropolitan
pool rooms can be induced to take their races
the continuation Of the meeting will neces-
sarily be q matter Of short duration, no matter
how large the clubs bank account may be, for
racing associations are proverbially sverse TO

The Value of Trotters,


From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Although turf papers all over the United
States are DENYING the fact, there is no doubt
but that the value Of trotting horses has reached
the lowest possible ebb. The bottom may not
have dropped out Of the market but breeders
and owners who have consigned stock to the
recent sales are fully justified in believing that
1t has. The sale Of the Hobart stock was bad
enough, but when the peerless Sidney was sold
for $27, 900 it may be said that he was simply
slaughtered.
The Asylum Stock Farm had its sale Of 1853
horses at the Bay District track. The consgn-
mont consisted Of stations, brood mares, colts
and FLIES, and as usual prices ruled low. Sixty
four head were sold tor $9,375, or an average
per head Of e1A6.

Immense Growth Of Lake Shippiax.

H. A. Griffin in the Engineering Magazine.
The marvellous development Of the lake
marine 10 strikinsly emphasized by retro
specsive view. The first sailing vessel on the
upper lake, the Griffin, was launched in 1879 BY
Father Hennepin, and was wrecked on her arst
return trip from Green bay. The first Amcri-
can vessel launched was built at Erie in 1897.
England and France having monopolized the
lake shipping TO that time. The FIRST steam
vessel launched on the upper lakes was walk-iu .
ths-Wster, built at Black Rock in 1878 Her
advent in Cleveland is remembered by some
aged citizens. In 1919 the total tonnage was
l6l,SS2 tons, valued at s7.36s. 900. In 1862
there were $50 steamers. aggregating l25.62o
tons. and Lisa sailing vessels, with a capacity
OF 2o', $50 tons, the total value being Ell ,s62
soO. In 1881 there were 1892 steamers and
aoCs sailing vessels. aggregating LISA. $40 tons
and valued at S70 900 900. More tonnage was
put afioat in the past four years than was in
existence on the lakes at the close of the civil
war. In value the output of the past two
years is double that OF the whole lake fleet in
1866.
