and COMPANY Publishers. Price $500
The game of football, as played in
our American schools and colleges,
has come into general favor with the
sport-loving people of this country.
The two greatest authorities upon this
popular game, in this country, are
Walter Camp and Lorin F. Deland,
the famous Yale and Harvard coaches.
The work in which they have collab-
GRATED is the finest ever published on
this subject. and is issued in the beau
tiful manner characteristic of Hough-
ton and Mullins publications. 1t is
an epitome Of everything pertaining
to the great game of football. Moth

scientific aspects. and in such a man

thority on football in this country.

Here and There.

The Marquis Of Lorne has introduced
some some Sanadian wild turkeys into hi.
They have increased Considerably and ar,
said to be admirably adapted to the eli
mate. He has also been experimenting
with wild geese and other game.
The bottom of the Pacific between
Hawaii and California IL said to be s.
level that railroad could be laid fo
five hundred miles without a grade any.
where; This fact was discovered by ths
in making soundings with the view OF
laying a cable.
England imports nearly els 900 600 worth
OF timber year. and pays $4,000 600 for
minor forest produce. Another million
and a han is paid for imported wood pulp
for the manufacture of paper. D. Schlich
declares that G1s.000,0 900 worth of timber
might be produced in that country if they
went the right way about it.
W. Lewis Fraser. the art manager OF
the Century Magazine. made his start in
life in Canada. He had a shop for curios
in Montreal, and first came TO fame
through the Marchioness of Lorne, who
gave him a commission to decorate several
rooms in the castle For the last fifteen
years he has lived in New York city.
A French glass expert named Appert
has made experiments showing that glass,
modified by the Introduction of seven or
eight per cent. of aluminium is more solid.
less changeable and more elastic than
ordinary glass. If it be more elastic. the
scientist may be in fair way towards
the rediscovery of the flexible glass of the
ancients. which has hitherto baffied ex-
perts.

But bananas have sold SO badly of late

discovered the trouble: The American
people have not lost their taste for the

cents barrel the banana has no show.
for the average man eats the same
amount of fruit each year. and prefers

Hartford man may work revolution

Women and Esshetios.

MT. Havelock Ellis, ill his Interesting book, Man and Woman, Study of Human Secondary Sexual Characters, " shows that woman, far from being "un- developed man, " is really leading eyolu- ton in various ways, mental and phys ical. To the proofs of this position giv- en by him might be added the apprecia- tion of literature and music. Books are read almost exclusively by women, and if women gave up going to concerts and operas such entertainments would col lapse immediately. At evening enter tainments there is indeed sprinkling of men, but at matinees-a Philharmonic, Paderewski, etc.-there are always 95 to 99 women among hundred specta- tors. It is useless to say that men are too busy to seek amusement in the day time. Thousands are rich enough to afford shortening the work for few hours, and if they were so civilized as the women they would do SO Men are apparently becoming more and more absorbed in business, politics, gambling, racing, athletics and various other amusements which the lowest intellects can share with them, wherefore it would seem as if the future of matters aesthetic lay entirely i'll the hands of wo- men
