ANOTHER NEW RECORD
The Doolittle Team Pound
ed Out High Figures
Last Night.
PURITANS ROLLED WELL
Lafayettes and Linden Wheelmen
on the Losing End-Green-
vile Rifemen Won.

A new record was created last night IN
this seasons ganes in the Jersey. City
league by the crack Dooiittie team in
their games with the Lafayettes on the
Woods Hall alleys. The contest was very
lively and the L~afayettes did we'll for a
visiting team. This quintet is much
stronger than last year, and the team is
keeping within the average in its games
at home and abroad. They made it very
lively in the second game. In the first
things were most too one-sided to be of
interest, the Doolittles having 1t all their
own way. Not SO in the second game.
The Lafayettes held on for a time, and
their style of game compelled the home
bowlers to exert themselves, and in this
manner the best on record score for the
season vas set aside by seven pins. H.
Q. Barnes in the opening game sent the
pins spinning for a total Of go pins, a
very fine record. John Clark rolled cley-
erly, and closed his ten frames without a
break n a record of 1874. The Lafayettes
could not get beyond the 150 block, with
F1ugge the leader. The home bowlers
won by 1872 pins. In the second game the
Lafayettes got going, and beat their last
oCOie over one HQituTEQ pms. IL was iiOS
stuff, and the Doolittles beat a merry tat
too. and completed their game with only
seven breaks. 1t was the finest exhibition
of bowling that the team has done this
year on the Woods Hall alleys. Every
member beat the average while two Of
the scores beat the 200 mark, with Joe
Perlmutter on top. Barnes was the low
est of the quintet. with $50. The Doohtrles
opened with a lead of IS pins on the first
frame. They rolled 109 pins. To his they
added los in the second and 81 in the third.
The pace was most too hot to last, and
the team dropped off a bit. While this
fast work was being continued the Lafay-
cites were keeping up with the leaders
pretty well and were only q pins behind
in the fourth. On the fifth Doolittle made
81 pins. The margin gradually increased
on Zach succeeding frame until the close
gave the home team a majority of "a pins.
Richter rolled 21 for the visitors. IT was
a great contest, and although beaten the
Lafayettes. were proud in their ability to
have compelled their opponents to beat
the record. Scores were:-

practical forecast of the observatories. The
relative positions of this interesting orb
and the earth in their revolutions include
many variations of distance not always
understood, hence the undue expectancy
whenever Mars approaches perihelion.
The accompanying diagram may ex-
plain why the oppositions Of the planet
that occur when it is near its perihelion,
as in 1877 and again in 1924, are the pro-
pitious times, coming about every seven
teen and fifteen years, when science reaps
good results from careful observation.
The orbit of Mars is more elliptical than
that of the earth, its distance from the sun
at perihelion and aphelion, A and P in the
diagram, differing 100000 miles, but
even this great amount makes little differ
ence in our view of the planet unless the
earth is between Mars and the sun, or at
least near this favorable standpoint. This
combination of opposition, Marian peri
helion, near terrestrial aphelion "a in the
diagram) reduces the distance to 35,0000 900
miles, giving a view of the full or nearly
full Illuminated disk and the south snowy
pole. On August % of every year the earth
IS between the sun and the Marian peri
helion point, but Mars may be in quad

FOR HYDRAULIC MINING,
Seven Chinese Are Found Guilty
of Violating the Can't
netti Act.
This Is the First Case Tried Under
the New Law and Is of Interest
to Miners.

Seven Chinese, All Young, All Sing, All
Jim, All Chung, All Ling. All Hung and
All Shaw. were convicted in the United
States District Court on Friday of violating
what is known as the Caminetti act. The
law in question was passed by Congress in
1898 and prohibits hydraulic mining ex-
cept under permit. This being the first
criminal proceedings it was naturally
watched with interest by the miners
throughout the State.
In January of the present year the
Sheriff of Placer County learned that the
defendants we're operating the Green Val
ley mine bv the hydraulic system. They
were warned to apply for a permit, but
they made no effort to secure the necessary
document. Finally the matter was re-
ported to the Debris Commission, reaching
through them the United States Grand
Jury. An Indictment was returned and
the case set for hearing yesterday.
The contention OF the prosecution was
that the defendants had been given every
opportunity to comply with the law, and
that In not doing so they had de-
liberately jeopardiZed the navigation of
two streams-American End Sacramento
rivers. The defense only contended that
the mine was too far from the waters
named TO do any practical damage.
The jury was out Just five minutes, re-
turning the verdict already recorded. G.
r. Devlin of Sacramento and attorney for
the Debris Commission, assisted United
States Assistant District Attorney Schles-
niger in the prosecution. The Importance
of the verdict is found in the fact that 1t is
the first criminal case under the Can't
netti act, though a civil suit 10 test its
constitutionality has been pending in the
courts for some months.

T. W. Leydecker of Alameda won the

cific Coast on Thursday last with his two
cocks, T-161 and V-134.
Some time ago Mr.. Leydecker and
Joseph Richards of Vallejo made match
for the championship and at once started
training for the event, the Alameda fam
cier entering six birds and his opponent
three. The fight was from Ashland, Or,
to this City, distance OF 30S miles, air
line.
The birds were liberated at o'clock on
Thursday morning under circumstances
lar from favora BILE, ana must have Lad
rough time on the journey, as shown by
the time made.
The first bird reported was Leydecker's
T-161, which arrived at sos in the even
ing. Five minutes later the same owners
V-134 came in.
None of the other birds had come in UP
to late hour last evening, and it is
thought that they must have been driven
far out OF their course by stress of weather.

TO GO WHALING
WITH LIVE WIRES.
A Halifax Man Will Use
Electricity to Kill
Leviathans.
Patent Coffin to Prevent the
Stealing Of Bodies by Dis
Secting Ghouls.
The Luminous KeyhoIe That Will
Simplify Matters Early in
the Morning.

Now it is proposed to fit out whaling
vessel with dynamo and kill whales by a
current of electricity sent through the
harpoon. The salt had 80 much faith in
his scheme that he has engaged an cleo
trician to build dynamo that would gen.
crate an alternating current of Il, 900 volts.
That dynamo he will have rugged up in
his ship, and then he will sail away to the
north to capture the whale in a fin de
steele manner.
Captain Charles w. HershelI of Halifax,
owner ana commander of the whaling
ship Rosalie is the man who intends to
wipe out the customs and traditions of the
whaling industry with small wire and a
large dynamo.
As to the method of application, the
captain explained it as follows:
II am going to place the dynamo on the
whaler and not put 1t in operation until
the whaling grounds are reached. On
board | will have big reel of heavily in
sulated wire.
THE reel will be placed in the smaller
boat, in which we go out to meet the
whale. We shall have several thousand
feet of wire on the reel. One end will be
connected with the dynamo. At the other
end, which will be in the smaller boat, will
be a hard rubber stick about four feet in
length. The wire will run through that
stick SO that it may be handled easily and
safely.
AT the end of the stick will be attached
piece of metal "a inches long and l inch
in diameter. The point of that needle
will be sharp, so as to penetrate the flesh
of the whale easily.
1.-The hard rubber stick and the big
needle will be used just as we use the
harpoon to-day. When near the big fish,
as near as we get in the old way, the har-
pooner will throw the electric barb.
"At the time there will be a current of
10000 volts running Through the wire.

Unusually favorable perihelion oppo-
sitions have occurred on August q, l7l9,
Septemb Der /, 1898, and September ., 1871,
at intervals of seventy-nine years, Dnt
perihelion oppositions of high value occur
at intervals of fifteen or seventeen years.
AS Mars takes 6S7 days to go round the
sun. successive oppositions occurring about
every two years and two months take
Mace further round the paths in the direc-
ton of motion, as shown by the dates and
connecting lines in the diagram. They
decrease in value as they approach the
noint of Marian aphelion. where 81, O00,-

ishes one-fourth in brightness at an aphe-
lion opposition.
A further compensation for northern
observers of the less favorable opposltions
is found in the north declination OF the
nlanet for it is always in southern skies
when nearest the earth, and though Wis
ible in higher ATTITUDES, is yelled by a
longer and denser extent OF terrestrial
atmosphere. For these reasons its nortn

Snring Road Cart.

In the ordinary road cart there has
always existed most undesirable "horse
motion" that could only be obviated by
the use of a complicated arrangement OF
springs and weakening of the shafts.
Charles Schwarts of Philadelphia, Pa, is
the inventor of spring arrangement that
seems calculated to overcome many diff
culties.
The shafts of the vehicle are fastened to
the axle in the ordinary way. On top of
the shafts there is a second series of
springs constructed on the scroll principle,
as can be seen in the accom- pany1ng cut.
They are fastened to the shafts only in
two places and the seat is fastened at the
