Coast Association Football League.
The third of the second round Of sched-
uled games was played on the recreation
grounds at the Midwinter Fair yesterday
afternoon between the Thistles and Rang
ers, the former winning by i've goals to
one. The result was sore disappoint-
ment 10 the friends of the Rangers, but
there was no denying the fact that al
though they played a plucky game they
were overmatched. They had the misfor-
tune to lose one of their men shortly after
the game commenced. McLennaD found
that Reynolds head was not SO soft as he
imagined, aud when the two craDiums
came into collision McLennan had to re-
tire for the balance of the game.
There was an increased attendance in

A Pathetic Sight.

During an exploring expedition in the
arctic regions several years ago." said
Lieutenant G. P. Bevier Of the navy,
''some Of the men in our party used to
spend considerable time in hunting the
polar bears. 1 joined party Of hunters
one day, but the pathetic sight witnessed
deferred me from ever seeking that kind
Of sport again. We were in an open boat
and had not gone far before we sighted a
big bear with two cubs lying on the Ice
not far distant. When we drew near
enough, the sailors threw them great
Jumps Of sea horse flesh, and these the old
bear divided between her cubs, reservine
only suan portion for herself Then,
when all three were happily feeding, the
sailors fired, killing the cubs almost In
stantly and severely wounding the dam.
1t would have drawn tears Of pity from
any but the most unfeeling to have marked
the affeotiopate concern expressed by the
poor beast in the last moments Of her ex-
piring young. Though she was dreadfully
wounded, she tore another lump of the sea
horse flesh in pieces and laid 1t before
them. When she found they would not
eat, she laid her paws first on one and
then the other and tried to raise them up,
all the while moaning piteously Finding
at last that they were lifeless, she raised
her head toward the boat and uttered a
growl of despair, which the men returned
with another volley of bullets. Then she
fell between her cubs and died LICKING their
wounds st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Invention of the Screw Propeller.

The introduction of the screw propeller
into use was accomplished simultaneously
BY Smith in England and Ericsson in the
United States. Both were men OF great
ability Each considered himself the in
ventor of the screw pr peller. Each took
out patents in England in 1885 and in the
United States two or three years after
ward. Each patent differed radically from
the other. Neither patent, for the general
application of the screw propeller, was
sustained either here or abroad, and neither
Smith nor Ericsson patented additional
improvements on the screw propeller.
Each built small screw vessels in England
that were successfully tried in 1897,
Smiths being of six tons burden, with u
wooden screw, driven by u six horsepower
engine, and Ericsson's, named the Francis
B. Ogden, having about double the tom
mage and power.
Each built larger screw vessels that
were successfully tried in England in
1889. Smiths vessel, the Archimedes, be-
1 ing upward of 200 tons burden and driven
by engines designed by Rennie, of 80
horsepower, circumnavigated the island of
Great Britain in May, 1910. Ericsson $
vessel, the Robert f. Stockton, smaller
and with less power, was tried in England
under steam, and then, in April, 1889,
l crossed the Atlantic under sail. Each in
troduced the screw propeller on merchant
l vessels in 1870 Each introduced the
1 screw propeller on war vessels in 1S43,
