The National Game of China.

Stuart Culiu in Overland Monthly.
The common Chinese name for dominoes
is kwat pal, or bone tablets" a name
which, although they are now generally
made of wood, points to their original ma
terial They are also called nga pat, ivory
tablets" and sometimes tim tsz' pal, dot
ted tablets They are now made of teak
wood, or an imitation of teak wood, of ban-
boo, bone or ivory, or of bone and wood con-
Joined, like common European dominoes.
Two sizes exist, u large kind of teak, pc
culiar to Kwantung and southern China, in
which the pieces measure about 5-S inches
long and seven-eighths of an inch wide and
three-eghths of an inch thick, and a smaller
kind of bone or bamboo about an inch long
by seven-eigtths of an inch wide and one
half inch thick. The distinctive popularity
of Chinese dominoes does not lie, however,
in their form or material, but in their marks.
They differ from the European game in the
absence of the blanks, a set comprising
twenty-one different pieces, formed by the
permutations of two dice. In the common
form of Chinese dominoes, ordinarily
sold, eleven of the twelve pieces are dupli-
Gated, making thirty-two pieces in the COM
plete set. The duplication of these pieces
constitutes the chief problem presented by
the game.

VENTILATING STREET CARS.
The Need of Great Care to Prevent
Serious Discomfort.


Serious Discomfort.
From the Popular Health Magazine.
The modern street car moving at great
speed is supposed to be well ventilated, but
as fact when the weather is cool, or If it
is wet and rainy, doors and windows are
kept tightly closed, and the odor of many
passengers with wet footwear is far from
healthy. In England, where there is much
damp weather and where omnibuses are so
largely used, the suffering from lack of
ventilation is still greater than in this
country, because there the windows of the
conveyance too often do not open, and it is
impossible to ventlate; but in America the
cars are purposely made so that many
windows and often the sides of the cars
may be opened and the most perfect change
of air may be obtained, as in mild weather.
The rule on the continent of Europe,
where a draft is greatly feared, is that
If one person objects to an open window it
must be closed, all the others to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Happily no such
due to apathy or ignorance of the conduc-
tors that the numerous and easily opened
windows are not used to admit enough
fresh air on damp and cold days to carry
off, or at least dilute, the emanations of
that class of persons who usually crowd
into the cars about 3 or 6 o'clock in the
evening. Some stringent rules enforced by
the company would make a rapid transit
car as comfortable in damp weather as on
clear summer day.

MADE ON THE SPOT.
An Interesting Exhibition of Acety.
Iene Gas.

An Interesting Exhibition of Acety.
lene Gas.
A private exhibition of the new acetylene
gas was given last evening at No. 1874 18th
street. The spacious rooms of this large
house, formerly occupied by the German
embassy, were thronged from TO IL o'clock
by guests invited to witness the use of the
new illuminant throughout the house, and to
compare its qualities with other artificial
lights.
A steel cylinder, five and one-half inches
in diameter and forty-four inches long, con-
tanning uQuefied gas had been attached to
the house gas pipes above the meter. and
small burner consuming less than ore cubic
foot of gas per hour had been substituted
similar cylinder was placed In the lrawing
room to specially exhibit the light in sep
aratc burners in comparison with city gas,
the Welsbach burner and the electric light,
which were also shown in the same room.
City gas and acetylene were alternately
turned on and burned throughout the house
in the same pipes and burners. The COM
parison was regarded as most favorable to
the new illuminant. The acetylene gas in
the one-foot burner produced a steady, white
flame of intense brilliancy, furnishing
abundant light for every part of the house.
The light was subjected to severe tests,
being compared not only with the city gas
from common burners. but with the Wells
bach light and electric light as well.
1t was stated that measured by photomet-
ric or shadow tests the ratio of acetylene to
city gas was about 16 to 1. 1t was claimed
also that these tests in no sense showed
the real difference because of the great diff
fusiveness of acetylene light.
The quality of the light was especially no
ticed in its effect upon the paintings and
colors in the rooms, the most delicate shades
being unaffected by the pure white light.
The method and cost of manufacture and
the use of the light were fully explained
by Mr.. PaySon, who announced that the
exhibits would be open to the public all
of next week. The gas was made before
the eyes of the visitors and turned directly
into the ordinary gas fixtures of the house.

THE WHITE OAKS ROAD.
Some Inside Facts on An Enterprise
That Means Much for All
New Mexico.

From what the New MEXICAN can learn
both the Rock Island and the Southern
Pacific roads are fostering Mr.. .. B. Ed
dy's project to construct new railroad
from Ell Paso northeast through White
Oaks. G. P. Huntington was in Ell Paso
the other day and instructed the Southern
Pacific officials to give the new project
every encouragement. The fact that the
Rock Island has a corps of surveyors now
in the field between Liberal, Kas., its
present terminus, and Clayton, with some
place near Las Vegas as its objective
point, shows what that corporation is do
ing. Huntington's interest is two fold.
A road from Ell Paso via White Oaks and
the Texas Panhandle would shorten the
present Southern Pacific trans ontinental
haul at least 900 miles. Again the South
ern Pacific pays the A., L. & 8. F. 81 $780,
600 year for coal at Ell Paso. If the
White Oaks, Salado and Milagro coal
fields of Lincoln county can supply this
coal SO much the better for Huntington.
Hon. @. B. Eddy and his brother, J. A..
Eddy, of Denver, are at present at the
Milagro coal beds, south of White Oaks.
They were Joined there Yesterday by
Lawyer Haw kins, who is the attorney for
the new road. At least fifty men are en-
ployed in prospecting the coal fields and
thus far results have been entirely salts
factory. Up to date Mr.. Eddy and his
associates have probably spent $4,000 in
such prospecting and other preliminary
work and it appears now almost certain
that the White Oaks road is an assured
business enterprise.

BEHIND PRISON BARS.
Sheriff George Sena, of Lincoln Coun-
ty, Hunts Down Four Cold
BlOOded Murderers.

In the latter part of 1893, or early in
1894, there occurred at La Mesilla, in Dona
Ana county, cold-blooded murder, the
incentive for which was robbery. Pedro
Duhalde was the victim of the red handed
assassins. Facts sufficient were developed
to convince the authorities that there
were no less than five participants in the
bloody deed. All efforts, however, to ap-
prehend the assassins proved dismal
failure for months, 30 cunningly had they
hidden their identity. Among those who
ing upon the trail of the murderers is
Sheriff George Sena, of this county, and
whose efforts alone, among them all, have
been crowned with success. He has
hunted down, and now has confined be-
hind prison bars, four of the murderous
devils accused of the crime. Mr.. Sena is
positive that he has the right men, and
asserts that before he abandons the hunt
he will have the remaining murderer SO.
curely Gagged. The rewards for the ar
rest and conviction of these men aggre-
gate $4,000. If Sheriff Sena is correct in
his belief, and the villains now in durance
vile are proved guilty of the assassination
of Pedro Drhalde, Lincoln county's sheriff
will have added another plume to his off.
clal cap. Now, George, ferret out the
human fiends who SO cruelty put to death
poor Higinio Garcia, and fasten the awful
crime upon them, and you will have
richly earned another term as sheriff of
Lincoln county. And you'll get it.-Lin-

Stabblnx ARRAY.

On Sunday afternoon, deputy sheriffs
from the Nacimiento precinct, up in the
northwestern section of Rernalillo county
placed iu the county Jail in old town Of
Albuquerque, Jesus Armijo, he being
bound over to the next grand jury on the
charge of assault with intent to kill
The particulars of the affair, as far as the
Citizen could CLEAN them, are as follows:
On December 8, Jesus Armijo called at
the house of woman, living near Naci-
miento, where he found two men, one of
whom was Francisco Aragon and they
were somewhat under the influence of
native wine. Armijo had rifle with
him, and Aragon and his friend attemp pied
to take the rifle from Armijo. The latter
resisted, whereupon Araeon commenced
clubbing him over the body. Armijo
could not handle his rifle, and seeing that
he was being worsted, pulled out his
penknife and inflicted nine wounds ON
the head, face and neck of Aragon, none
of which, 80 it is stated, are serious.
Soon afterward, Armijo was arrested
and had his preliminary hearing before
the Justice of the peace of the Nacimi-
ento precinct and was placed under 81
600 bond, in default of which he was
brought to the county Jail for safe keep
ing and to wait the action Of the next
grand jury.

Killed by Tramns,

The train men at Albuquerque, upon
the arrival of passenger train No. 4 from
the west, yesterday morning, we're shocked
upon learning from Conductor Somer-
vile that Martin CLANCY, the freight con-
duotor, who runs from Williams on the Sd
division, was shot dead by one of party
of hobos whom he was ejecting from the
train. The deadly bullet entered the back
and came out in the region Of the heart.
The unfortunate conductor was able to
reach the caboose and TOLD the brakeman
of the terrible occurrence. The murder
era wore nowhere to BE- found when the
alarm was given, and the train men sent
Indian trailers on their track.
McClellan's switch is three or four
miles east of Ash Fork, and when Con-
ductor Somerville's train arrived there
the dead body of the murdered conductor
was taken on board and conveyed to his
home at Williams.
A telegram received by passenger No.
at station east of Williams announced
that one of the murderers was caught and
would be taken on special train to Will
Jams, where preparations for lynching
were in progress.

THE CLIMATIC CURE.
The Medical Mirror Comments on
New Mexico's Attractions for
Invalids.

The Medical Mirror, of St. Louis, a
journal that stands at the head of western
medical publications, prints in its Novem-
Der issue carefully prepared article by
DR.. Crossun, of this city, on 'the climate
of New Mexico and its effects upon in.
cipient pulmonary tuberculosis" In
commenting on the subj ect the Mirror in
its editorial leader says:
"There is no subject which is of more
vital Importance to the conscientious
physician than that of the proper climate
for invalids, and we venture the opinion
that medical men as q class have little
practical knowledge upon this subject.
1t should be the duty of physicians to
spend their vacations in visiting the
various health resorts of the country 80
as to have definite knowledge regarding
them and be able to advise intelligently
their patients.
"In the original department will be
found an article by Dr.. Francis Crosson,
which will we'll repay perusal. DR..
Crosson, after equipping himself by at
tendance upon the leading medical COL
leges Of the world and having served in
the various hospitals of the large cities of
America and foreign countries, and hav-
ing located forsth practice of surgery in
large city, found himself suddenly vic-
tim of the dread disease tuberculosis, and
had to change all of his plans and seek
more genial climate. After visiting the
various states of the union, he has located
at Santa Fe, N. NJ. It was our pleasure to
have visit from DR.. Crosson during the
past month, and, in an address delivered
by invitation before the class of the
Marion Sims College of Medicine, he ex-
pressed his views emphatically in favor
of New Mexico. By special request Dr..
Crosson has furnished paper for the
Mirror. We should be glad to see this
paper in the hands of every physician, as
we consider it a most important oontri-
button to the subject.
GAS DR.. Crosson very truly says, IAN alb
solutely ideal climate is not to be found,
and it lie a waste of time to seek for con-
ditions which exist nowhere but in the
minds OF visionary WRITER'S but he be-
lieves that New Mexico is possessed of
that degree of dryness of atmosphere and
equability of temperature with the mini
mum of cloud and rain and the general
conditions favorable to outdoor life which
together render it superior to most other
places"

A Citizen Talks

Trinidad Alarid, who, for twenty years
has been auditor OF New Mexico, is at the
Columbia hotel, says the Denver Times.
"New Mexico is experiencing period of
prosperity never before equaled," said
he. "There are more tons of ore treated
from White Oaks and Silver City now
than ever before and the price of cattle
is raising and the railroads are opening
up great deal of new territory and more
money is being spent in irrigation and
canals than ever before in the history of
New Mexico. I anticipate that the popu-
lation of New Mexico will double in the
next five or six years. A great many east
erners and foreign capital are coming to
New Mexico. There have been several hun
dred miles of irrigating canals builtin New
Mexico within year, and I believe that
the hard times have affected Santa Fe and
Albuquerque less that any two cities in
the Union anywhere near their size."
