NOT A MODERN INVENTION.
Discovery of an Elevator Used by
the Ancients.

the Ancients.
While it Is supposed generally that the
elevator is purely a modern invention,
such Is not the case. Prof. Otis T. Mason
of the National Museum has an object
used by the Indians of Alaska which proves
that this useful invention Is really an old
thing. What Mr.. Mason has is a tree
climbing device. While. similar devices
have been found in other parts of the
world, this is about the only one that
has been discovered in America. 1t is
used by the Indians of the Tlingit area
in Alaska, and was obtained by a naval
officer. The device resembles one of the
palmyra climbers Of India 1t is thirty
two inches long, nearly six inches wide
and one and one-quarter inches thick In
it's strongest part. The apparatus is made
of cedar, and a piece of wood has a dou-
BILE function. The great part is like a
swing board or boatswain'S chair. having
it's upper side chambered for the rider.
The underside is carved. Holes are bored
fer the stout cedar rope, which is knotted
at one end and passed through the outer
hole. The other end is rolled through the
iErer hole, and has long, loose end. Out
side of this swing board arrangement is
carved a portion which has the function
of cleat.
The wood cutter or carver, as the case
might be, sits upon the seat, places the
rope around the tree and through the in
half bitches to the cleat He uses the
apparatus for climbing a tree in the same
way in which it is employed in India, and
also uses it as boatSwan's chair in hold
ing himself in position while he is operat-
ing upon trunk.
yet quite as effective, which is used for
the feet.

saengcrbund Wins Two Games From

Although the Saengerbund bewlers won
two Of the three games played at the
Washington Athletic Club last night, their
percentage in the league race fell from S67
to 1888. The Germans showed up well in
their team play, securing 2S3 pins more in
the three games than did their adversaries
Dietz, of the w. A. c., had decidedly of
night, being able to. bowl but 12O for his
highest game. Burch made the only diff
cult spare Of the contest, making 5-8-lO in
the last game. Charlie Spless, in the third
game. crested from McCauily of the Wash
ingtons the honors held by him for some
time for the highest individual score,
Spiess bowling the good string Of 244. He
opened with three spares, following with a
double header, then sparing and finishing
with quad, and making % PINS in his last
frame
The Saengers had difficulty in finding the
alleys ir the opening game, Hanold leading
the side with l57, while the home club
bcwled steadily together and won by a
margin of u pins. The Saengerbunds did
poor strike work, bowling but five in the
game.

Brady Tries to Excite FitzsimmOns
Into Fighting.
William A. Brady. manager Of James j.
Corbett, sent the following challenge to
Robert Fitzsimmons, champion pugilist CT
the world:
James j. Corbett dissatisfied with the
result of his late contest with you at Car
son City, and not believing that you are
his superior either as boxer or fighter
and being Of the opinion that the majority
of the American public shares his belief
that he can defeat you. II ever you are
man enough to grant him a return battle
on equal conditions, has deposited today
S2rJ0O as first deposit to bind a match
ior $lO,OOo a side, the person or persons
Offering the largest inducements to have
the management of the contest.
AS you have said today that your wife
mas withdrawn her objections to you again
entering the ring, there is no reason why
the arrangement should not be speedily
ccnsummated; for you, in my presence
at Carson City gave Corbett your word
or honor that If you ever entered the
ring again you would give him first chance
1t is useless for you to attempt to de.
csive the public and try to boom your
private interests by attempting to force
Corbett to meet some second or third-rate
boxer before he shall beq entitled to your
notice. He will not agree to- meet Maher
Sharky or any one else. He. claims the
chance that he gave yyu-the right to
win back the title of chkmpioh. He clear
ly proved himself in your class on March
II last. and 1t was only by the greatest
kind of a fiuke that you are now titled
champion, and 1 do not believe that you
viii ever forget until your dying day the
beating that he gave you them; and If
ever he secures the opNsrtupity to again
face you in twenty-foVrtfodt ring, I will
guarantee you that he VIII prove conclu-
sively and beyond a question: Of doubt
whether or not he Is in your class.

Gu RRENT SPORTING NOTES


]. Earl Wagner gives notice of the fol-
lowing changes in the Washington club:
Seybold has been sold to the Richmond
club, as there was no place for him on
the team. ?.
Catcher Dixon has been drafted from
the Providence club. Dixon is said to be
one Of the most phenomenal young catch
ers in the country, and Mr.. Wagner says
he does not intend to let any phenom
make his escape. if he can avoid 1t.
1t Is probable that Harvey Smith, who
was signed by the Washington club some
time since. will not play bah next season
that is. with the Senators. He failed to
keep an important business engagement
with Mr. Wagner and has notified the
club owners that he will not play ball
on Sunday. Mr.. Wagner notified him that
everything was off, SO far as he was con-
cerned. -
Leahy or Wagner will play third base.

Harvard's men, Southland and Hewins.
were successful in their games. and now
hold the lead by a point. Columbia Is a
