strengthen their infield, Dahlen was
signed after short negotiations. He was
a great hit with the colts, and was one
of the first men on the team that
brought about the name of the colts.
He was signed in the fall of 1890, and
played his first game in the uniform in
the spring of 1891. He was originally
second baseman, but was played at
short by Arson, and has not since left
that position for more than one game.
Last year he had an excellent record
both as fielder and batter, although
his showing in the latter department OF
the game was not as good as had been
expected. He batted to an average OF
only .273, which mark he will far sur
pass this year if he keeps up his pres
ent gait. He is a good man on the
bases. and last year stole forty-four OF
them in the 131 games in which he took
part. His fielding average last year was
.907, and he was seventh in the list of
fifteen league short-stops. He made far
more assists than euy of the others,
having no less than 533 to his credit
when the last game was over He made
a total of eighty-four errors. He is not
a hard man to handle, and has been

The airship is one of the most re-

is its extreme lightness considering its
tremendous strength.
The airship consists of boat shaped

idly, though pendant, from a cluster of
five balloons.
These balloons are held steadily in
place by five aluminium belts, which go
around the girths of the balloons and
are connected at the points of contact
by easy working ball bearing joints,
so that there can be no strain, and each
belt can give gently one way or the
other, as the balloon it holds might
sway, without getting away from its
mate. In this way the balloons are al
ways manageable.

surrounds the balloons and which holds
them attached to the car there are

CARDINAL cAscAJAREs. CAREER
Prince of tho Church Exchanged His
Sword for Stole.

The principles of phrenology as laid
down by Gall. Lavater and other teach
ers have their ardent disciples as well
as their disbelevers; but whether they
be true or false there is a cardinal, a
member Of the present college, who as
cribes to their theories the browning
success of his life, says the New York
Tribune.
Some weeks ago Don Antonio Casca-
jares. archbishop OF Valladolid, Spain,
called upon Senior Bosch, the Spanish
minister of public works, to announce
his elevation TO the rank of cardinal
and receive his minister's congratula-
tions. They were heartily given, and
the new cardinal then made the follow
ing explanation of his visit:
Il wished you to be the first to con-
graduate me. / shall tell you why. One
day when you, Senior Bosch, were about
IL years old, your father, Miguel Bosch,
took you to his friend, Senior Indalecio
Mateo, then master of ceremonies at the
court, in order to have him admire your
peculiar talent for the exact sciences.
AS you and your father entered the
room of Mateo, the latter was talking
to captain of artillery. You were sub
jected TO an examination, and the three
men, Senior Mateo, your father and the
captain, were astonished at the unusual
talent of the boy. The subject of phren-
ology then came up. Your father was
an ardent advocate of the teachings of
Gall, but the captain, on the other hand,
had no faith in them. After your father
had defended his point OF view with all
possible arguments he proposed, half in
jest and half in earnest, TO examine the
head of his adversary, the captain. The
latter readily submitted. After Senior
Bosch had passed his fingers over the
captains Uranium, he said:
"My examination proves that you
will never amount to much as soldier.
The bump of combativeness is unusual
ly small. On the other hand, mildness,
humility and religion are extremely
highly developed. feel certain that If
you exchange the sword for the stole
and the uniform for the priests coat
you will become cardinal.
"A short time after this meeting the
captain resigned from the army and en-
tered a seminary, and the prophesy of
your father was fulfilled. The captain
is a cardinal-for was the captain"

BaIzac on Color Influence.

Balzac's curious speculations suggest
the extent to which color influences
our human life. He had noticed that a
woman who had taste for orange or
green gown was quarrelsome; one who
wore a yellow or black apparel, with
out apparent cause, was not to DO
trusted; preference for white showed
a coquette spirit; gentle and thought
full women prefer pink; women who re-
gard themselves as being unfortunate
prefer pearl gray; lilac is the shade
particularly affected by "overripe
Beauties" wherefore. the great author
held. lilac hats are mostly worn by
mothers on their daughters marriage
day and by women more than 40 years
old when they go visiting.
These theories are founded upon
the principles of color, as already laid
down-namely, that red and yellow ex-
cite; green, tempered by blue, is bill
ious; orange is fiery; gray is cold and
melancholy; lilac is light shade of
purple, the most retiring color of the

girths to the car below. These braces
are also the stays for the sails forward
and ut the sides for steering purposes.
The principle upon which this won
derful airship is steered is the same
which governs the sailing of yacht.
A series of uprights over the car and
just under the lower valves of the bal
looms sustains shaft. which is revolved
by electricity and turns an immense
fan, or screw, at the rear of the ship,
which acts as an air rudder as well as
