The two games of professional football
played last week in this city did not attract
many people. bur those who saw the games
were much interested. The style OF play is
so entirely different from the college game as
to confuse the spectators. Football is con-
sIdered as so essentially a college sport that
it will require considerable schooling before
the public becomes educated TO the game.

T once had a patient, said Law renee Newcomb of Rochester, who formerly prachced as q physician, s'who poisoned herself with vinegar. I was never burning or shining light ;n the medical profession, and hence it is not surprising that the case bafiled my investigation for a year, though l have the consolation of knowing that four eminent physi- cians who were called in for consulta- ton attributed the lady's evident breaking up to four different causes, none of them remotely connected with the real one. The chief symp- tom was lassitude and deathly white ness. and the lady, who had no other companion but an ignorant though faithful colored attendant, finally died before reaching her thirtieth year.
 Subsequent investigation proved that she was a vinegar fiend, and that, while refusing food of all de- scription, she was drinking large quantities of vinegar. As the habit grew upon her she secured stronger grades until finally she was drinking acetic acid but very slightly diluted. There are cases on record of persons who have been poisoned by overdoses of vinegar taken toimprove the com plexion, but this is the only case ever heard of any one acquiring a vinegar habit and pursuing is stead fly until it caused death

Acul,,vn,ed Memory.

A we'll known railroad man told the following story: When I was at Mandan, N D., we had a man whose memory of car numbers was really remarkable. When train whistled into the yard, he would step to the platform, and without a book or pencil would stand and watch the cars 20 by.
 If any one was standing near, he would converse upon whatever sub ject occurred. and when the conver- sation was ended he would step into his office and make complete and accurate record of the train, begin ming at the first car and ending with the caboose. Sometimes, just to test him, we would get him to begin at the caboose and write the numbers the other way, or else begin in the middle of the train and work both ways.
 He never made mistake that remember Car numbers, the names of the roads to which they belonged and their relative position in the train would all berecorded accurate ly. His was the most remarkable memory that ever knew of. Ana conda Standard.

 and Tobacco Smoke.
 Coal. on burning incompletely in the air, yields oxide of carbon, a gas which is a very violent poison. and so much the more dangerous in that there is no odor to announce its pres enee. When, on the contrary, the combustion Is complete. the gas pro duced is earbonie acid Although less poisonous than oxide of carbon. 1t announces its presence by slight prickhng sensation in the nose and mouth. and although 1t now and then causes an accident it must not be forgotten that It Is what gives seltzer water it's 50 agreeable, re freshing and sharplsh taste in sum mer and that makes beer and cham pagne foam.
 The preparation of carbonic acid is very supple Let Us put few pieces of chalk aud some kind of acid (vin. egar for example) into bottle and close the latter with a cork provid- ed with a tube to lead the disengaged gas to a receiver.
 It may also be prepared by pour ing water on a mixture et equal weights of powdered biearbonate of soda and tartaric acid This process Is employed in families for the pre- paration of artificial seltzer water.
 Upon uncorking bottle of carbon ic water and quickly closing it with a cork provided with bent tube, 8 small quantity of earbonic acid gas quite sufficient for a few experi- ments may easily be procured.
 By means of one of the producing apparatus mentioned above. let us introduce some carbonic acid into a large jar, but in such way as not to fill the latter completely. Although the level of the gas cannot be per ceived. since it is as colorless as air, it may be recognized approximately by means of a candle attached to a wire and lowered slowly until it is extinguished. This is the peiHt of separation of the acid and air.
 Let us then blow the smoke of a cigarette gently upon the surface of the gas, and we shall see it form waves and float, so to speak, upon the carbonic acid, and upon shaking the jar we shall see it's level oscillate like that of liquid, thanks to smoke blown upon it. In an instant we shall witness a curious phenomenon The gas will diffuse itself in very wis ible wreaths upon black ground, each of which terminates in toad stoollike appendage. These vortexes will descend slowly to the bottom of the iar.-Paris Illustration.

AN EAaTnouAke SHOCK.
The PheRomsnoa Is Caused by Series os
 Intricate TwtstiBgs.


 Strangely enough, the true concep- ton of the nature of an earthquake shock Is of very recent origin. 1t is only within the past 10 years that the science of the measurement of earthquakes has been placed on sure basis, and 1t is hardly more than 6 generation since the first steps were taken in this direction.
 From the time of the ancients un- Gil the middle of our own century the phenomena of earthquakes had been observed and described on countless occasions But if any one will look over the pages of Hum boldt's Cosmos" published in lS44l, which summarizes the then existing knowledge on this subject, he will find almost no sign that earthquakes are to be studied like other mechan- ical motions
 The effects of the great Neapolitan earthquake of 1857 were so studied by Mir. Robert Mallet, & distin- guished engineer, and his most inter esting work in two profussly illus trated volumes is perhaps the first in which an attempt is made to at tack the problem from it's mechanic al side. His study of the destruction due to the earthquake was intended to lead to the knowledge of the in- tensity of the individual blows or impulses. But in fact an earthquake is not made up of blows at all 1t is a continuous series of intricate twist ings and oscillations in all possible directions, up and down, east and west, north and south, of the great est irregularity both in intensity and ! direction.
 Frequently it is quite impossible to find among these any single impulse at all adequate to do the damage which is actually observed. This damage is not done by blow. It is done by the combination of many small motions and twistings taking place in many directions. On ac. count of this fundamental miscon- ception of the nature of an earth quake, most of the conclusions ar rived at by Mir Mallet are not valid, and his methods do not generally lead to correct results. But nevertheless the spirit n which the question was approached was the true one, and he is one of tlps founders of the modern science of earthquake measurement. This science had it's birth Tn the city of Tokio only few years ago. Within the last dozen years the Uni versity of TolSo has brought togeth- CT a great number of foreigners of ambition and learning to constitute its faculty. shrewdly suspect that in many cases they had few pre- scribed duties, and that the instru- ments and laboratories for research were often lacking, at least in the earlier years This band of learned and active men could not fail to be melted to the study of the very ire quent earthquakes in Tokio and the vicinity (when We take all Japan into account, there are an average of two shocks daily. and it is chiefly to the members of the SeismOlogical society of Japan that We owe the sci ence of earthquake measurement = Professor Edward F. Holden in Cen tury.
