Athletic Sports.

The football season is about TO begin.
and there will probably be the usual out
cry about the appropriateness of the game
and the degeneracy of the modern student
in liking athletics better than books But
in spite of all that, football will go on
as usual, and the scholarship of the boys
will take no harm from it.
Athletic sports and mental development
were closely associated in the minds of
the old Greeks, who understood the hu-
man constitution. perhaps. as well as any
people ever did. They recognized the fact
that a sound mind in a sound body is
requisite for really good work. and that
it is of no use to try to develop one part
of the body at the expense of another part.
Concentration is a fine thing, and the
youth who throws himself body and soul,
as the phrase is, into the intellectual
work which he is trying to do is likely to
accomplish large results in short time
The chances are, however, that if he does
not stop to allow his body to catch up
with his brain in growth he will have to
pay for it sooner or later. Some men
find it well to indulge in long lazy in
tervals, after weeks or months of hard
labor, and in their leisure time never
touch or look at anything which savors
OF shop" Others see At to do certain
amount of work each day and take given
amount of recreation to balance it. In
such matters each man must be his own
best judge of what is most healthful for
him. The system which will suit his con-
stitution best probably depends most upon
the sort of work which he wants TO do.
The writer the artist. the musician. may
find it impossible to do his best work IN
less confined to it closely for long pc
RODS The inspiration, always feeting,
without which he must fail, is apt to de-
sert him If he allows anything to inter-
fere with it before the completion of his
work. After the work is done he may not
touch a pen, brush, or a piano, as the
case may be, for months, but spend his
time fishing, hunting, or merely studying
human nature in desultory way. While
he is doing this. his brain is recovering
poise and wasted tissues are being re-
placed. 1t is absolutely necessary that he
do something of the sort if he does not

cannot drop all the threads of his bust
ness in this way; he must take his recrea-
ton by installments OF not at all. The

is that they do not know how TO do this

struction OF the machine which will follow
in the wake of Mr.. Bryan and reap the

terror cities and big towns in the Empire
State have been selected by Croker and
his lieutenants with great care, and 1t is
said these men already have been thor
oughly instructed, frst-hand. in their du-
ties. Evidently the hope or expectation is
to overcome the Republicans in all the
large centres Of the State If possible. or at
least to cut down their majorities lower
than they have been reduced even when
the State was carried by the Democrats,

Tammany will roll up for Bryan and Ste
venson in Greater New York. The experts
in both parties agree that this plan pos
sesses the merit of holiness. and that il
its execution is entrusted to competent
hands it should work out the desired re-
suit. 1t is not doubted that Tammany
methods can be made quite as efficacous
IN Buffalo. Rochester. Syracuse, and the
other large cities of the State as they
have SO abundantly proven in New York
City, and that while they doubtless could
not be applied to the situation in the ru-
raj districts, still it is believed the feeling
against Mr.. Mckinley is sufficiently strong
among the country people of New York to
bring to Mr.. Bryan's support without any
adventitious aids large vote which he
did not receive in 1896. With knowledge
of the plan of campaign arranged by Gro
ker and his lieutenants the national man
ayers are beginning to feel quite hopeful
OF redeeming New York this year. 1t is
limited that Stanchfieid votes are to be
freely traded for Bryan votes up the State
wherever it is evident that that familiar
practice is more advisable or practicable
than the application of the plan OF cam
paign decided upon by the State man
ayers.

MEGAPHoNFs FOR SEA FoGs.
Lighthouse Board Trying n New sys-
tenn of Signaling.

tenn of Signaling.
The Government Lighthouse Board is
making experiments with new system Of
fog signaling al Falkner's Island. near
the Thlnble Islands, beyond New Haven,
Conn.
The principle OF the new 1--WE ntion was
tested last year and found correct, and this
year the complete apparatus has been put
up. It consists of eight megaphones, ten
feet long. each directed to a different point
of the compass The small ends CT these
eight megaphones meet in a ring, Inside
which is a revolving eowl, which turns on
the top CT s:=sa. This siren is kept con-
stantIy spinning at the rate Of 1000 revo-
Iutions a minute. and when compressed
air is admitted TO it it gives forth a very
penetrating and far-reaching sound, about
C in the middle octave.
Compressed air is supplied to a large
reservoir by an oil engine, which runs at
a high speed From this reservoir the air
is taken to the siren through an oddly
constructed valve. by means Of which
current of air at pressure Of 200 pounds,
passing through two-ineh pipe, can be
controlled by a touch of the finger. This
valve is operated by series OF teeth on
a signal wheel, which revolyes slowly, pro-
ducing different signals as each of the
different megaphones comes into range OF
the revolving cowl.
These signals consist of long and short
blasts the long ones being three seconds
each and tie short ones one second each
The eight points Of the compass are dis
tinguished by the difference in these sig
nals. Opposite points have exactly oppo-
site signals, that for north. for instance.
being one long blast and for south enc
short blast. For east it is one long and
one short, and for west one short and one
long For southeast 1t is one long and two
short. and for northwest two short and one
long For southwest ii is two short and
fer northeast two long.
These signals announce to the mariner
tie direction from which the sound comes,
so that If q vessel was passing Falkuer's
Island and heard two short blasts il would
know that Falkner's Island must be south
west Of IT, 1t could not hear any other
signal but the one pointed toward il, be-
cause the megaphOnes send the othsS
sounds in a different direction; but If the
vessel were to keep on its course until
Falkner's bore due west it would then be
unable to hear any signal but the short
and long blast. which signifies west.
These signals were suggested by Col. D.
p Heap. engineer of the Third Lighthouse
district, al Tompkinsvill7 The principle of
the invention which consists in sending
sounds in a certain direction to the ex-
clusion of other directions and tae appa-
ratus by which the signals are worked are
the invention of r. F. Foster, of New
Work.

4 Shocking Cowboy Possibility,

-Four Presidents of the United States have died

tickets. therefore, vote FOR Theodore Roosevelt

this prospect has given pause to mary sober
minded citizens who are inclined to vote for Nc
Kinlev Governor Rooscvelt's cowboy bragga-
docio and in.rmperance of speech aud his flag
rant and unnarallclcd neglect OF official duties
have been enough TO carry a shoc, into the sus-
pe,tion that he might very possibly become

It appears certain that the French pro-
posal. that trade in firearms with China
shall be interdicted will be rejected by
M. Mckinley. This ought to produce
another campaign contribution from the
arms companies. Intrinsically considered
the French proposition is good and in the
interests of civilization and humanity. The
events of the past five months afford suf-
ficient evidence that the first thing the
powers should do with the Chinese would
be to disarm them.

why Mckinley Is Weak.

(From the st. Louis Republc.)
Mr.. Mckinley is weak this year because the
people justly fear him and his new and IN
American tendencies. The Republican party is
weak because it IS dominated to its ruin by the
Administration machine. The trusts are destroy

American Democracy will destroy the trusts be-

The Female "Ote.-Since the last ma
tlonal election Idaho Is the only State
which has been added to the small list OF
Commonwealth in which the full right OF
suffrage has been extended to the women.
The other States In which women will have
the privilege to vote this year are Colorado.
Utah. and Wyoming. These three States
were carried by Mr. Bryan four years ago.
as was also Idaho, but the Republican man
ayers are claiming all CT them for Mr. Nc
Kinley this year. The Bryan plurality was
small In only one OF them in 1S96-Wyom
ing. In Colorado, Utah. and Idaho the
Democratic pluralities were very large 1t
is explained that in the last campaign Mr..
Hanna did not know how to organize the
female vote for Mr.. Mckinley, as thist was
the first time women had ever voted for
President. But Mr. Hanna is said to have
very diligently applied himself to this in
teresting question during the past six
months-quietly. OF course-and now be-
lieves he has devised a plan by wh!ci the
women voters may be captured ~ Mr..
Mckinley What this plan is appears to
be a profound mystery to everybody ex-
cept that chosen few who enjoy Mr. Han
mas confidence. Nobody is ungallant
enough to suggest that Mr. Hanna could
apply some of his big campaign fund to
the female vote with good results to Mr..
Mckinley. Unlike coarse. selfish men, the
ladies cannot be bought. Nor will any man
step forward and proclaim that the ladies
can be bamboozled by Mr.. Hanna or any of
his agents. And still there are some Demo-
Gratis who view with alarm the constant
claims being made by Mr.. McKinleys man
ayers that all of the States in which the
women vote are to be carried by the Re
publicans next month. II is pointed out
that if events of the near future show that
these claims were well founded one OF

stancy. viii be proven by the most prac-
teal test to be the haziest sort OF myth.
Very few Democrats. however, believe that
Mr.. Hanna will be able to ALLEVIATE the
women voters of Colorado Utah, Wyoming.
and Idaho from Mr.. Bryan, and therefore
the Democratic hope OF holding those
States in line is strong and confident.

Tre"chcry in Jersey.-A lusty outcry
is being made among the rank and file Of
the Democracy III New Jersey against the
management of the Bryan campaign in
that State by the Hon. E. F. C. Young
Chairman of the Democratic State Com
mittee. Mr.. Young is a banker and man
ufacturer in Jersey City, and also the
owner of one of the most influential
newspapers in that town. His newspaper
is openly fighting the national ticket, and
when he was appealed to by the loyal fol-
lowers of Bryan to change the editorial
course of his newspaper he claimed that
he had no authority to do so. Last week
the startling discovery was made that in
Mr.. Youngs factories the men had been
warned that the election of Bryan possibly
would cause a suspension of operations
for an indefinite time and quite probably
would cause a reduction both in the wage
scale and the number of employees II the
factories continued to run. Mr.. Young
has been asked some sharp questions by
the national managers as to the meaning
of his course, but it is said that no salts
factory explanation has been obtained
from him. 1t is believed that the next
move on the part of Mr. Bryan's support
ers in New Jersey will be for The re-
noval of Mr.. Young from the chairman
ship of the State Committee and the Sc
lection for that important position OF
some man whose loyalty is unquestionable
and whose experience fits him for the
task of counteracting the damaging work
already done by Mr.. Young, either know
ingly or through a mistaken view of his
party obligations. The whole case. it is
stated, has been laid before Mr. Bryan
by the managers of the Eastern campaign,
and It is thought that no definite action
will be taken until he comes East. Then
it is expected Mr. Young's resignation will
be insisted upon. and that If he refuses
to tender it the National Committee will
assert it's authority over him and place
some other man at the head of the or
ganization in New Jersey. The Bryan
men in that State declare that it Is not
too late to undo whatever evil work has
been done by Mr. Young
