short order and began playing magnificent
football. their partisans yelling them

Just about this time when things were
going well for the Californians came the
mishap that cost them the game. With
the ball In their possession on their 20
yard line, they formed up for a fake
kick. The signal was given and the ball
passed to Cornish. who. having mistaken

berg should have been. The fullback, of
course. was at another position, and
Cornish's mistake sent the ball over. the
California line between the goals.
Loud groans were heard as the parti-
sans of Berkeley saw one OF the Indians

them. He seemed to be on top OF Il, when
Kaarsberg dived past him and scored
safety, saving of three points as
against the Indians, but a loss of two to
California.
This misfortune cast a gloom over the
crowd and seemed to be the beginning of
the end for Berkeley. The darkness was
only momentary, however. as the Cali
fornians, apparently undaunted by the
mishap, proceeded TO play harder. faster,
more brilliantly than ever, and to hustle
the ball into the Indian territory, where

The ball was kept constantly on the

now and then a trick play that Invariably
had little effect. 1t was buck and scrim-

friends and their opponents. They were
not only holding their own but they were
puzzling the redskins as they never prob
ably had been puzzled before. They un-
doubtedly thought their medicine was
bad. An evidence of this was given just
before the close of the first half, during
one of the Interruptions in the play, when

The weight of Rain.

II is not until we take the rainfall In
the bulk that we can realize what
stupendous quantity Of water showers
down in Great Britain and Ireland in
one year. and even when we have the
figures before us it is difficult to realize
their magnitude.
To say. for instance. that 8, 282. .370.-
OOO.O0 cubic feet Of rain on an aver
age fall annually on the United King
dom conveys little or nothing, though
II implies something moist, and when
we further learn that the weight Of the
same amounts to 258, 1873. 500. 900 tons.
except for feeling Of thankfulness
that it did not fall on our toes all at
once. we are only conscious that It
makes a very pretty row Of figures.
With the laudable intention Of max
ing these figures look small we will
merely say that the total weight Of the
rain that falls in one year on the Brit
ish isles is only equal to 1-110 part Of
the weight Of one paltry square mile Of
the earth's surface. from the surface to
the center Of the earth. When we con-
slider that there are 1871. 900 square
miles of snch surface In the United
Kingdom alone, one can understand
what an infinitesimal fraction Of the
total weight of the British isles the an
nual rainfall would amount to. Why,
4, 300, 900 Forth bridges would almost
equal it. .--Ludgate.

she had no right. Besides. he might not

Lifting her eyes from the grave that

thrown herself into his arms, so utterly

he turned away. probably TO hide his
own tears.

hearted surgeon consented to allow her
to visit the injured man.
He was asleep when she entered. and
she sat down silently beside the little
iron bed. The sight Of his pale but hon.

his hand and held it in hers The sleep

the hand. but not until she had left two
tears upon it. When he could collect
