FOOTBALL AS PLAYED TO-DAY.
harmful and Demoralizing to Students
and Leals AlI sporls In FatalIties.

harmful and Demoralizing TO Students
AID Leads Al Sports In Fatalities.
So far ne tho brutality Cf football is
concerned there can 10 longer be two
sides to the question, writes Edward
W. Box in Ladies' Home Journal. The
most uncOmpromising advocates Of the
game have conceded this fact. If one
game Of college football differs from
another it is purely and simply in its
degree Of brutality. How disastrous
ard fatal were these displays last year
will be brought home more directly to
people when by carefully computed fig
ures it is shown that 40 deaths resulted
last year from collegiate games Of foot
ball within a short period Of four
months. No record has, Ct course, been
kept Of broken ears, lost visions and
other disGguremcl,s. As a matter Of
fact, there Is 10 sport practiccd by any
civilized nation which can equal rec
ord Of 4G deaths in four months.
When Wo regard the effects upon the
player, wo meet q condition Of things
equally serious. Leaving the physical
injuries entirely out IF tho question,
the gamo Of football, az it Is played to-
day, is IN absolute detrimout to the
mental development Of those who par
ticipate il it. have, during the past
six months, been Ut some pains TO care
fully inquire into the class standings Of
the men who comprise college football
teams, and the results we've interesting.
In two cases I found that the majority
Of the football players stood among the
lowest in their classes, while in the
other two instances this same fact was
true Of onc-lalf Of the members Of the
teams.
Furthermore, the so called flame"
which is bestowed upon these college
football players IS directly injurious
Their lives are exploited, their portraits
are printed, their every movement is
chroniclod until the subjects arc made
to feel q prominence which is at once
preposterous and absurd. Before boy

spoiled with a misplaced Importance Of
himself and q mistaken fame" the

Illuminated Life Preservers.

The steamer Katahdin carries q new
life buoy, the invention Of Chief Con
structor Hichborn, and it is attracting
much attention. It consists Of copper
cylinder bent into a circle, and from the
sides depend two cylinders containing a
chemical compound which as soon as
the life preseryer is thrown into the wa
ter gives forth a light-the result OF
chemical combination. This light not
only enables one struggling in the water
TO find the buoy thrown to him, but ell
ables his shipmates to find him after he
has reached the buoy, should he go over
board in the nighttime. Bath (Me. }

Coal Gas In NaVlraflon.

The efficiency Of coal gas in practical
navigation has been demonstrated, ac-
cording 10 accounts of recent trials at
Havre, and French capitalists are re-
ported as having taken the matter in
hand with a view to its thorough de-
velopment In the late trials made by
the promoter an iron boat Of some $50
tons was employed, a vertical gas motor
Of 40 horsepower furnishing the power,
coal gas compressed to a pressure of
400 pounds per square inch being
stored in steel tubes placed between
decks, and q regulator, situated between
the gas reservoir and the motor, to re-
duce the pressure Of the gas entering the
motor to the flow ordinarily required
Public trials Of the craft show that
the officer in charge has her in complete
control, changing with ease her course,
also slackening or increasing the rate Of
speed and stopping or even going back
ward almost instantaneously by the use
Of the reversible screw. Though tho cost
Of power by this system will, as claim
ed, be more economical than any other,
the chief saving will be effected by the
comparatively small room required for
the motor, and the fact is noted as re-
markable that pure coal gas, compressed
to a pressure as high as 1000 pounds
per square inch, does not show an ap-
probable condensation.

One Of the most interesting museums

Why for ages have people eaten apple
sauce with their rCast goose and suck
ing pig? Simply because the acids and
pectonos in the fruit assist in digesting
the fat so abundant in this kind Of food.
For the Same reason nc the end Of a
heavy dinner we eat our cooked fruits,
and when we want their digestive &C.
ton even more developed, we have
them after dinner in their natural, I'M
cooked state as dessert. In the past ages
instinct has taught men to do this; to-
day science tells them why they did it,
and this same science tells Us that fruit
should be eaten as an aid to digestion
Of other foods much more than it is now.
Cultivated fruits, such as apples, pears,
cherries, Strawberries, grapes, etc., con-
tain on analysis very similar proper
tions Of the same Ingredients, which
are about l per cent Of malic and 9TH
er acids and per cent Of flesh forming
albumiDoids, with over so per cent Of
water.
Digestion depends upon the action Of
pepsin in the stomach upon the food,
which is greatly aided by the acids Of
the stomach. Fats are digested by these
acids and the bile from the liver. Now,
the acids and the pectones in fruit Pc
culiarly assist the acids Of the stomach.
Only lately even royalty has been TAX
ing lemon Juice in tea instead Of sugar,
and lemon juice has been prescribed
largely by physicians to help weak d.
gestion, simply because these acids ex-
ist very abundantly In the lemon. -

On a Sure Enough snver Basis.

Something quite remarkable came in
TO the redemption division Of the treas
ury at Washington a short time ago. 1t
was thin plate Of silver about two feet
long, into the surface Of which $40
silver certificate had been pressed in
such a manner as to incorporate its SUBJ
stance actually with that Of the metal.
Il was brand new BILL and in the proc
ess had been squeezed out to about
twice lite original size. Nevertheless, it
was perfectly recognizable.
A statement accompanied it to the
effect that a workman in a silverware
factory had dropped the bill accidental
" upon the plate Of silver as the latter
was passing through a rolling machine
This explanation being satisfactory, q
fresh $40 certificate was returned to the
loser. philadelphia Record.
