thought to have the two distances cinched
at the next meet. He will run in the mile
open and in the closed half for collegians.
This race is growing in interest every day,
and the men now entered comprise the
cream of the country. 1t was thought a
week ago that Grant of Pennsylvania would
capture the closed event, but the entry of
Cregan puts a different aspect upon the
situation. and it will be hard to pick the
winner. Dessez, Stuart and Mechling are
hard men to kill off, all are capable of
following any pace made. and the knowing
ones predict that If the visitors make the
game to suit themselves they will find the
local men topnotchers as sprinters, and the
chances favor the prizes being kept in this
city.
The entry of Cregan is only compliment
tary, as he had decided to give UP indoor
work on March l, but his desire to assist
the local university to introduce indoor
athletics in this section of the country in
duced him to reconsider his action and his
entry was sent.

the local public is Curtis. 1902. Princeton,

der in every sense of the word, a man
born to command. to lead. to conquer, Phil
kearriey was glorious soldier of fortune.
His brilliant meteorfc career reads like {,
page from Dumas or a page from Lever.
Like the adventurous musketsers, like the
irrepressibIe companions of O'Malley and
Tom Burke, he loved fighting for fighting's
sake. He was of the type that had served
France and Austria and Spain in the
earlier generations. The great American
civil war had many fllustrious Irish SOL
diers in the ranks of both sides in the great
struggle. 1t knew none more picturesque.
more fascinating or more daring than Phil
kearney. He seemed to sum up in his
bright individuality all the qualities of the
Irishman abroad who fought under for
eign flag because he could not fight under
his own. But Phil Kearney, happier than
his predecessors of Austrian and French
and Spanish service, fought for flag that
was his own. For the American flag is the
flag of the IrishInan abroad.

last year was but medium, is now the fast

a hard conscientious trainer, and great

Sheridan will be found In the mile run
and perhaps in the 4+0-yard handicap.
This week has seen quite an increase in
the number of entries for the meet. The
total list of competitors 1T Is thought will
swell the entries to more than a hundred.
The star secured this week to add to the
brightness CT the program is Capt. John F..
Cregan of the Princeton University track

champion of the intercollegiate Associa-

enormous stride, and is regarded as the
most graceful distance man in the COL

Two Sympathetic Lakes.
From the Philadelphia Times.

rum iHt tHlauelBnla Times.
The Wetterr-see. in Sweden, like so many
other lakes. has long enjoyed the local rep
utation of being bottomless pit. The Swe-
dish scientists have now destroyed the veu-
cradle legend, for in the measurements
taken a few days ago they have success
fully demonstrated that the greatest depth
of the lake is only 119 meters. There stin
remains, however, a series of mysteries
which science must be content to leave I'M
solved-at least for time. 1t is not only
a legendary belief, but there is a quasi
scientific ground for the queer supposition
that living creatures animal and vegetable
can and do make journeys 10 and fro be-
tween the high northern lake of Wettern-
see and the south German lake of Con-
stance.
This bold conclusion has been partly ius-
titled by the appearance of exactly the same
fauna and even of the same animal life in
the Swedish and Swabian inland seas 1t
is even asserted that whenever there is a
storm on the Lake of Constance the Lake
of Wetternsee begins systematically to roll
and swell, and that the southern lake is
similarly moved by any agitation in the
distant northern lake.

Peculiarities of the FiIfpinos.
pm Ipslie's Weekly

The Filipino Is artistic and his clothing
is clean-two tremendous strides toward
civilization. The men do clever work in
wood. silver and brass. Their old war
knives are highly embellished. Their pot
terry is often picturesque, and the clothing
of the women, made of the indigenous
fiber that abounds throughout the islands
is picturesque, and has jaunty. attractive
style, which their straight forms and ex-
posed shoulders carry OF well. The fiber
is often woven as finely as silk, and some
of the drawn work of the Filipino lace
makers is most exquisite and expensive
1 have. seen single handkerchief which
could not be purchased under $500 The
Filipinos love 1ewelry and some of the
crude settings contain magnificent pearls,
found along the shores of the islands The
women, as a class, are attractive-many
are really pretty. While eschewing shoes
gloves and hats, they often wear dresses
of the finest texture, beautifully embroid-
cred, and made with flowing train. Both
sexes love music. and the Filipino music
is not the wild banging of tom-toms and
the beating of cymbals and drums nor is
IL the squeak of the two-stringed violin
and the pounding of sticks attune as with
the Chinese and japanese, but 1t ilas
melody and air, for the Tagal plays all
the instruments of the European, and out
plays him on many. Aguinaldo's band Of
sixty pieces is one of the finest on the is
land.

Massage by Wooden BaIIs.

From the New York Herald.
One of the latest schemes for exercising
all parts of the body without the aid Of a
paid masseur is by rubbing the body with
a chain of wooden balls. These balls are
about inch in diameter and strung on
the wire links of a chain in twos. the links
being square, and the balls rolling across
the flesh on the wire axes of the links The
ends of the chain are each furnished with
convenient handle, and the chain is in
the form of a strap about the length of a
short Turkish towel, and used in much the
same way.
AS the balls are operated by drawing
back and forth across the body they press
into the flesh in little grooves, each ball
making its own separate impression. and
the flesh rises up between the balls, so that
the exercise is complete. The strap, or
chain, is worked in a rotary manner as
well as back and forth, and thus the mus
cles are thoroughly massaged for five min
utes at time The handles of the chain
are held in the hands for most parts of the
body, but when massaging the arms one
handle may be fastened to the wall by a
hook and the arm rubbed across the balls
