New Games Wanted.


It is natural, we suppose, that the
games played at any one time should be
very few. Vanity comes in with its ir
resistible influence to secure that result
The classes initiate each other, and for
competition to be severe there must be
similarity of effort. A man cannot be
great in game known only to a vii
lage, and for "fame'' to be as widely
diffuSed as that of the great cricketers
cricket must be played, or at least COM
pretended, by an entire nation. It is,
however, matter for some surprise that
new outdoor games are SO exceedingly
few and are so slow to catch hold. In
our time. only two have become really
popular, 1aw2 tennis and golf, and Of
those the first never descended to the
people and is said to be now slowly de-
caying
Polo Of course can never be popular
in O land where the masses do not ride,
and baseball, the American game, has
never caught on in England, while our
winters are too uncertain for the people
even to learn exciting ice games, like
curling. 1t is hard to believe, however,
that ingenuity has reached it's limit in
devising outdoor sports OF that men are
too conservative ever to accept new ideas
for games. We can offer no suggestion,
but there must be hundreds of minds
more pliable thai ours at work upon the
subject, and we may remark that no
democratic game has ever yet been start
ed--that is, No game in which hundreds
Or even thousands can feel themselves
active participators. At present the few
play, and the multitudes look on, but
they will not be content to do that for
ever, and we should not be surprised il,
80 years hence, there were a game in
vogue which was more national" than
cricket and which occupied in the daily
papers even larger pace.-Saturday Re

Rise Of the Medical Profession.

During the medieval times tho mon
aSteries, serving as ccnters CT lnstrTlc-
tion, gave some embodiment to the med
ical profession, like that which our col
leges give. In italy there later arose in
stitutions for educating. physicians, as
the medical school Of Salerno in 1140.
In France before the end Of tho thir-
teenth century the surgeons had become
incorporated into q distinct college, fol-
lowing in this way the incorporated
medical faculty, and while thus inte-
grating themselves they excluded from
their class the BARRIERS, who, forbidden
to perform operations, were allowed
only to dress wounds, etc. In our own
country there have been successive con-
solidations.
The barber surgeons Of London were
incorporated by Edward ", and in the
fifteenth century the College of Ply
sicians was founded and received pow
er to grant licenses to practice medicine
"a power which had previously been
confined to tho bishops" Progress in
defniteness Of integration was shown
forbidden to exercise surgery in London,
and within feven miles, until they had
been examined by the company of bar
bers and surgeons, and also when, by
the eighteenth of George II, excluding
the BARRIERS, the Royal College of Sur
geons was formed. At the same time
there have grown up medical schools in
various places which prepare students
for examination by these incorporated
medical bodies, further integrations
being implied Hospitals, too, scattered
throughout the kingdom, have become
places Of clinical instruction, some unit
ed to colleges and some not. Another
species Of integration has been achieved
by medical journals, weekly and quar-
terly, which serve to bring into COM
munication educational institutions, in
corporated bodies and the whole profess
sion.-Herbert Spencer in Popular Sci

TO INVENTORS.

II you have made an invention you want a
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some Of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
as to a lightning rod without a ground con-
nection That is the kind an inventor is like
1y to get when he draws up his own specffica-
tions, or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.
Do you want to know what the Press Claims
Company is? 1t is a syndicate of hundreds of
the leading papers of the United States, or
ganized to protect those of the subscribers
who have dealings with Government against
the impositions of unscrupulous claim agents.
The SPECTATOR is member.
This able Company employs the best legal
talent in every branch of its work. 1t makes

Harnessing the Sun.

When we sit in front of coal fire and
enjoy it's generous warmth, do we realize
that the heat and light of the burning
coal are really sunshine that has been
stored up for ages? Such is the fact.
Centuries ago the sun shone on the
earth, and plants and trees grew, fell
and grew again. They were covered by
geologic deposits and acted upon by
great heat and pressure, until in the
course of years or ages these broad lay
ers of organic matter were transformed
into coaA The coal thus represents the
work done by the sunshine years ago,
and when it is burned the imprisoned
solar energy is loosened again.
Our system Of power production de-
pends upon this presence Of energy. But
coal is a wasteful source Of energy.
Even the best engines do not utilize
over 10 per cent of the calculated energy
of the heat Of coal, and besides this it
is an inconvenient thing in many ways.
1t has to be mined, freighted and stored.
Can we not find some more economical
way Of using the suns energy?
During the last few years the great
progress in electrical science has enabled
man to utilize the solar heat in a
thriftier way. During its days work
the sun draws up large amount of
water from the oceans and the damp
earth. By the action Of its rays plant
life fourishes, and plants draw from
the ground and evaporate into the air
large amounts of water. Thus an oak
tree of average size, with 100000
leaves, lifts from the earth into the air
about 1873 tons of water during the five
months it displays its foliage. This
evaporated water, sooner Or later, falls
as rain, and by the action of gravity be-
gins to flow downward. Thus the great
rivers are fed. Round and round inces-
sanity goes the water lifted by the tire
less sun to fall when deserted by him,
and again to be lifted, and again to fall
and run seaward as long as it may exist
upon this earth. North American Re-

NEW YORK CLUBS.
An Increasing Disposition to Investigate
the Qualities of Candidates.

An Increasing Disposition to Investigate
the Qualities of Candidates.
It is becoming harder rather than
easier to get into reputable New York
clubs. Nearly every important club has
long waiting list, and there is an in
creasing disposition to question narrow
ly the character and reputation of man
seeking admission A few clubs elect
members at q general club meeting.
This is q cumbersome method, and most
clubs leave the matter in the hands of
the board Of trustees. The latter often
practically delegates its responsibility to
committee on admissions. When the
committee does its duty it parcels out
among its members the names of those
seeking election and requires them to
investigate the reputation of the candi-
dates. The proposer and the seconder
are questioned and are asked to give
other references, SO that the candidate
may be further investigated. The good
natured habit of seconding the nomina-
tion of men with whom the seconder is
unacquainted is one of which the ad
missions committee thoroughly disap-
proves, and it has been suggested, as
remedy against reckless proposing and
seconding, that those who are respon
sible for mans presence in club
shall make good his default if he gets
into the clubs debt and neglects to pay
up.
No club fully indicates the prereq
uisites to membership, because in most
cases it is tacitly understood that, what
ever the opinions Or tastes that are ex-
pected of all applicant for election, he
must, above all, be that somewhat indef
mite thing, a gentleman. If a club is
very small, the personal dislike of sim
gle member for candidate is likely to
defeat his election. But in large club a
man is expected to put his personal dis
likes aside when the question of admit
ting others to membership comes up.
One of the oldest things in club life is
the desire of some men to join clubs
with whose declared objects they are at
enmity or toward which they are indif-
ferent. Every political association that
is also social club of good standing
has some such incmgruities.
Some clubs do not inquire SO careful
1y as to the character and qualifications
of men seeking admission as nonresi-
dents as in the case of those seeking to
come in as resident members. This
sometimes results i'll the final reception
into full membership of men that are
out Of sympathy with the objects of the
club. Some men are entirely content to
enjoy the immunities of nonresident
membership when doing business in
New York, q thing that most clubs do
not permit 1t was discovered not long
ago that so nonresident members of
large club had offices in New York and
should have been paying resident instead
of nonresident dues.-New York Sun

Regarding the use of bamboo as fuel,
the following quaint lines from the book
of Messer Marco Polo, the Venetian,
form an interesting example of travel
ers' tales in those days when travellers
were SO few that there was little fear Of
their meeting with contradiction:
He says: "The people cut the green
canes, of which there are vast numbers,
and set fire to heap of them at once
After they have been awhile burning
they burst asunder, and this makes such
a loud report that you might hear it ten
miles off. In fact, any one unused to
this noise who should hear it unexpect-
edly might easily go intoa swoon Or die
Of fright But those who are used to it
care nothing about it; hence those who
are not used to it stuff their ears well
with cotton and wrap up their heads
and faces with all the clothes they can
muster, and so they get along until they
have become used to the sound. I tell
you the truth, however, when say that
the first time you hear it nothing can be
more alarming chambers Journal

A year and half later circus rider
entered his village. Desiring to see the
show, Gurando Kuen, on his father &
arm, entered the place. Pointing to the
horse he insisted on riding it himself.
His father consequently asked the circus
rider to let his boy ride. Gurando Kuen
showing in his face perfect satisfaction,
rode OH the neck of the horse and ap.
peared as if he was persuading the horse
to go. One day, when he was older, he
was playing ball by his own house, and
he accidentally broke glass window Of
his neighbor. Having regretted what he
had done, he made up his mind and
went into the neighbor's house and ex-
cused himself to the lord of the house,
saying: II accidentally broke the win
dow of thy honorable house. have nc
word to excuse myself. The only thing
I can do is to my father tell, new glass

cuse.' This house lord, having been
much pleased with this child's unusual
thoughtfulness, without any condition
excused his sin. Indeed Gurando Kuen s

has it's own nature when it is but an
