In these days, when almost every
body goes in fer some sort Of athletic
exercise, many novel games have been
invented by ingenious people. Their
effonts have especially been directed to-
ward evolving forms of amusement as
we'll as exercise that are available in
covered halls or buildings, so that they
can be played in the winter, when most
outdoor sports are necessarily suspend
3D.
Basket ball was one of these, and in
door base bali is another game that has
been very successful in covering the
field for which it was intended.
indoor base ball was invented in Chi
calgo in 1887, and rapidly grew from an
amateur pastime into one OF the most
scientific of winter sports, with regu-
lar rules and national organization
that PLAYS a schedule of match games
for the championship.
Its invention came about by accident
through a frolic among the members
of the Farragut Club, who in spirit
of fun ON Thanksgiving evening OF
that year began throwing an ordinary
boxing glove around the hall. which
was struck at by one of the members
with a broom. 1t was crude sort OF
amusement, but there was great fun
After the members had enjoyed them
selves for some time George ID. Han

The latter are very alert and active

All the young bloods In Santiago

somewhat insidious one. A quart bot

HOT WATER STREET LAMPS.
The Latest Thing in Applied Science In
London.

The Latest Thing in Applied Science In
London.
There have been rumors that the
latest thing in applied science was to
be street lamps for London that
should supply the weary pedestrian
with tea, coffee. cocoa and hot water
on the penny -in-the-slot system. The
rumors were true. and the new hot
water lamp is an established fact, as
anyone who chooses to make a jour
ney to Queens buildings, South Wark-
bridge road, may verify. The lamp, as
shown in our sketch, looks somewhat
like an overgrown gas lamp standing
on a square base, which Is really tank
containing some fifty gallons Of water.
This latter is supplied from the street
main by a small pipe, which, curling
through the already warmed water III
the main tank, runs up the lamp-post
and passes in a spiral OF many swirls
round and round three great gas flames,
The heat turns 1t into steam. which,
confined at pressure of thirty pounds
to the square inch. becomes super
heated, and, passing downwards, keeps
the water In a small tank above the
