TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
The Best Contests of the Series Played Yes
tcrday Afternoon.


The tennis tournament at Leather
wood was continued to-day. Inc al
ternoon was fine for playing ana al
the players we're in good form. AS q
consequence sharp and pretty tennis
was witnessed. Every point was
fought for and generally won by good
work. BY far the best tennis OF the
tournament was played in these SETS
and if the work is any criterion or What
the final set WI be. We can expect 20
see some very exciting contests.
The finals in doubles did not come
off as Kelley was absent and his oppo-
nents would not allow Brokunier SUD
s,itute.
The first match was between Vance
and Collier. the former winning by the
scores 6-3. 10. Vance started of
well by winning the first two games,
then Collier braced up and won the
next TWO. BY careful and steady play
ing Vance brought the score up 10
80 in his favor. Collier won the next
game by good all around work, while
Vance won the set by getting the fol-
lowing game. The next set was more
exciting and very fine tennis was eX-
h.h.ted from both sides OF the me-. COZ
lier showed himself especially good IN
his back hand work. while Vance eX-
celled in the LANYARD strokes.
The next match in singles was be-
tween Hubbard and Heiskell, the for
mer winning by the scores -. 10.
The first set was particularly interest
/ ;,c, c,, ;.e c,1audi1 vol1pViOp and was
very close throughout, with odds in
favor of Hubbard. The second set

strokes. while Hubbard distinguished
himself at the me-.
The games N doubles resulted as fol-
lows: Vance and Brokunier beat Pax

a Fortified Woman.

At Runja, in the Punjab, q native
who had recently married for second
time was importuned by his new wife
to have the remains of wife No. l re-
moved from their resting-place near a
mineral spring and deposited in the
village cemetery.
Preparations were made to that ef-
feet, laborers opening the grave in the
usual manner. When the wickerwork
basket in which the woman had been
Inferred was reached, and efforts made
TO raise it, che weight of the receptacle
and it's contents was found to be too
heavy for the four men engaged in The
work and the appliances at hand.
When the basket coffin was finally
hoisted to the surface one Of the lab
orers removed the lid to ascertain the
cause Of the unusual weight. To the
surprise of all, it was found that the
coffin contained a solid stone figure, the
corpse having become perfectly petri-
fed. The husband removed the re-
mains to his home, where they now
are, and it is said that thousands are
daily viewing the wonder.

Experim.nts on Animals.

OF all the experiments made in con-
nection with the X rays, the oldest
are now being quietly conducted, it is
reported, in the physiological labora-
tory of the College OF Physicians and
surgeons in New York. The intent of
she investigattonia Il to determine the
possibility of using the Roentgen rays
to impress images of objects on the
cortex of the brain.
Experiments made on animals gave
results regarded as most promising.
In one experiment bone lying in an
out of the way corner of the room had
been previously photographed. The
shaven skull of dog was exposed to
the influence of the picture by means
of the x rays. On being released after
a sufficient exposure, the dog immedi.
ately hunted up the bone, showing
that there was an image of it in his
mind.
The image of fierce dog was i'm
pressed upon the brain of a rabbit.
On being released the rabbit evinced
signs of great fear-so great, indeed,
as to lead to the question whether in
sanity might not be produced by the
impressing of horrible images.

Extinction of Birds.

One cause which threatens the eS.
istence Of many species Of birds, if 1t
has not already produced the externin-
alton of some, is the rage for wear
ing their feathers that now and again
seizes civilized women, who take their
ideas Of dress from interested millin-
ers Of both seXes-persons who, aav-
ing bought Il large stock Of what are
known as '4plumes" proceed to make
profit by declaring them to DE in
fashion. The tender-hearted ladies
who buy them little suspect that some
of the large supplies required by the
"plum trade" are chiefly got by lay

breed gregariously, and that at their
very breeding time.
no havoc in these islands approaches
that which is perpetrated in some other
countries, especially, it is surmised, in
India, though there now contrary to
law; and the account of the rayages
of a party Of "bird plumers, at the
breeding stations on the coast Of Flor
ida, given by Mr. W. e. D. Scott, who
in former years had seen them throng-
ed by a peaceful population, is simply
sickening. Did we not know what
his feelings were, one might in read
ing his terrible narrative lose patience
with him for not expressing more
strongly his detestation of the bar
barities he recounts. But his absten-
ton is doubtless attributable to ebe
fact that his narrative appears in
strictly scientific journal, where SEN
timental expressions would be out Of
place. All efforts to awaken the con-
science Of those who tacitly encourage
this detestable devastation, and there
by share in it's guilt, have hitherto fail
ed, and, unless laws to stop it be hot
only passed, but enforced, it will 80
on till it ceases for want of victims,
which, indeed, may happen very short
ly. Then milliners will doubtless find
that artificial feathers can be made,
ever as ARTIFICIAL flowers now are,
and there will be q fine opening for the
ingenious inventor. The pity is that he
does not begin at once.

A Unique Experience.

A unique experience, even in the an
nails of the sea, was that of the bark
Alice which reached Portland, Me-, o
few days ago after stormy voyage of
nineteen days from Turks Island, in
the caribbean. The bark carried a
cargo of salt, and she had been out
but day when it was found that the
salt had struck through into the water
butts, and every drop of fresh water
aboard was ruined. The captain
hoisted signals Of distress, and made
provisions for condensing as much
water as possible. Enough water was
condensed to provide half cupful for
every man aboard. 1t was five days
before vessel was sighted. The suf-
fering had been great and the situation
Was growing desperate. The vessel
gave the Alice as much water as could
be spared, and the voyage was COM
pleted with q better, but still short
supply of water. The Alice had only
fourteen hours of good weather during
the trip.

of life-have prompted the invention
of many more or less ingenious life
saving devices. One of the simplest,
and yet most valuable, is that lately
introduced by William Brandt, sail
maker, at Lubbock, Germany.
Substantially it is reproduction on
a very large scale, of the life saving
belts or rings commonly found aboard
ships. But, besides its greater carry
ing capacity, it presents some novel
and sensible features, which enhance
its value.
Numerous partitions divide the belt
into watertight compartments, SO that
damage to any part does not material
ly affect the efficiency of the whole.
The great elasticity of the belt reduces
the danger of damage to minimum.
Despite its great size it is very
light. One man can easily roll it along
the deck and fling it overheard. 1t
does not matter how it strikes the
water-it invariably turns right side
up. The middle space is taken up by
strong network.
An important addition is that of
ropes msdo fast to the periphery of
the belt, and kept aAoat by corks, SO
that persons several yards away from
the buoy can draw themselves to it.
Seven large men standing on it don't
appreciably sink the device, and when
it is considered how small the weight
of person partially supported by the
water is it will be seen that one belt
can save large number of people.

satin, with buckles, and tie over the
instep. The heels are made of cork
and arevery light. Between the soles
and the uppers there is piping of
white kid. The stitching, which is
visible, is done as neatly and exactly
as in any specimen of latter day ma
chine work.
The shoes are an interesting exam
pie of the rotation of fashions. AL
though 4SO years old, they are exact
ly in the style of the fashionable in
door woman's shoe for 1896. The toes
are OF the toothpick variety, as point
ed as they can be, and turned up a
little. The ancient shoes seem to be
broader at the ball of the foot than is
the vogue to-day. The uppers are of
curious looking green brocade
satin, the color OF which has not been
impaired in all these years.

ment.-New York World.

wonderful discovery in Photographic
science. It is no less than means Of
photogrsphing the interior OF solid,
opaque bodies. By the new system
the bones Of mans hand were per-
fectly photographed, the flesh being
invisible in the picture. Broken limbs
and bullets in human bodies were also
successfully revealed, as we'll as OBJ
iects placed In wooden box. Pro-
fessor Routgen, of the University of
Wursburg, Is the inventor. The light
he uses to photograph by is produced
what is known as a Crooke's pipe, viz:
vacuum glass tube with an induction
electric current passing through it.
The result is light that appears to
penetrate organic substances just as
ordinary light passes through glass.
