WOULD SELL TROPHIES AS JUNK

Secretary Alger is in favor of selling
the cannon captured from the Spanish
in Cuba and Porto Rico as old junk. He
made thiss statement in answer to a query
as to what would be done with these
trophies.
1t has been customary to send such
articles as trophies of war to the Military
Academy at West Point, where a section
of the reservation is known as Trophy
Point, in which are all the historic cannon
captured in the revolutionary, Mexican
and civil wars.
a number of historic cannon We're taken
at Santiago which are of peculiar value
because of their ancient construction.
The National Museum of this city is an
applicant for the custody of the captured

made by influential people, it is hardly
probable that the secretary will be per-
mitted to sell these interesting relies as

The FANCY
SKATERS
Will Hold Their Contest In
Vienna Next Week.
AN AMERICAN IS ENTERED
Some of the Best Known Skaters in
the World Will Be in the COM
petition For Prizes.

New York, Jan. 27.-The greatest
sporting events of the winter are the
worlds fancy skating championship
contests, which take place in Vienna
Monday and Tuesday, n in which for
the first time in years an American anna
teur champion is entered. This is Irving
Brokaw, of New York, a graduate Of
Princeton, and perhaps the most graceful
skater this country has ever known. The
mer, hi will test his skill against in the
tournament are the cleverest amateurs in
the world. Denmark, and Sweden, Rus
STA, Great Britain, France and Germany
will be represented by men who have
skated from childhood, and the winner Of
first prize may well be proud of his titles.
During the last three months BrokaW's
work mas been lone under the direction
and advice of George A. Meagher, the
professional champion figure skater. I'm

himself in the execution of the set of fig
ures that each competitor will be requir-
ed to perform. They are known as the
urname figures. 1t is not a hard task
to acquire the movements; the art hes in
performing them with grace and ease.
Men who can execute them without aWk-
wardness or visible effort are considered
high class figure skaters. Two of these
figures are very difficult from this stand
point. They are the fifth and sixth, and
are called the rocking tum," n the
Counter rocking tum." 1t will be seen
that the skater has to make a tumi in eX-
actly the opposite direction his m
tum would naturally carry him. This
change must be accomplished on one foot
without trace of an awkward break, for
almost any skater can wabble through it.

the figure of a star on one foot also calls
for considerable strength. The buzz

all. In spite of the many awkward turns,
1t looks very easy when performed by a

most graceful and snowy figures are the

call forth all the skill and the dexterity

TEMPERANCE NOTES.

Rev. Theodore Cuyler, D. D., signed
the total abstinence pledge when 10
years old, and has kept it ever since.
On the west coast of Africa and far
inland, bottles of gin and demijohns OF
rum are used as the common currency.
and on the Congo, one-half Of all that
the natives produce is paid for with
liquor.

by saloonkeepers to extend the closing
hour at night from 10 o'clock to II
o'clock.

ing a saloon within her border. and yet
visitors declare she has more paved
streets and good sidewalks than any
city of her size in the state. She has
electric lights, water works. Greer Col

largest canning factory in the world.
A movement 10 exclude liquor deal
ers from church membership has been
started in Louisville, KY, by Rev. T.
T. Eaton, d. D., pastor Of one OF the
wealthiest churches in that city. Res
olutions were passed urging them to
give up their business and allowing one
year in which to abandon it or leave
the church.
The famous Benedietine monks at
Beatty, Pa, have discontinued brewing
beer for the market. For forty years
they have brewed this beer and ped
died it among the saloons all over the
western part Of Pennsylvania. The
growing temperance sentiment among
Catholics is responsible, though it is
said they will still brew beer for their
private use.

attached the ear tubes. Above this
sound frame is a phosphorescent
screen and over that again a sheet OF
celluloid and a sheet of tracing cloth,
all held compactly together In a
clamping frame. The celluloid sheet
protects the tracing cloth from de-
stroying the surface of the sensitive
screen, when marked on by pencil
or pen. and both being transparent,
they do not sensibly diminish the den-
milton of the shadows cast on the
screen. BY applying this frame over
the heart area, and placing the ex-
cited tube behind the patients back,
a radiograph of the heart is formed on
the phosphorescent screen. Many doc
tors hold that a nervous patient can

has been made of the apparatus above
described, in which a mirror Is ar

ear tubes in his ear while the frame
is held in position he can readily hear

FireproOfing Wood.

Among the many valuable lessons
taught by the recent war between
Spain and the United States is the i'm
portant one that a ship Of war should
have as little wood in its construction
as possible, and that what there is
should be fireproof. Dr. Hexamer re-
Gently read before the Franklin 1nsti-
tute a paper dealing with this subject,
and showing how, by comparatively
cheap and easy process, woodwork may
be rendered absolutely incombustible
1t may be noted that the inventor OF
the system does not seek to make
money out of it, but gives it to the
American nation with view to do his
country a service. Before commencing
his experiment, DR.. Hexamer laid down
certain conditions, which he considered
imperative, the chief of which was that
to prove effective against fire the wood
must be treated, not on the surface on
ly, but through its entire mass. After
trying various substances with which
to impregnate the wood, he finally
chose water glass, treating it at later
stage with ammonium chloride, in or
der to render it insoluble. The wood
work is first of all heated in an iron
container to expel all moisture, after
which the water glass is admitted un-
der pressure, and is forced into the
inner recesses of the wood. Ammon-
ium chloride is then admitted to the
container, under the same conditions,
and the wood is finally washed in run
ming water, and slowly dried.
