ARE PROFESSIONAL GOLFERS.
How Their Status Is Defined in Regula-
 tions of the Game.

How Their Status Is Defined in Regula>
 tions of the Game.
 Most timely of the definitions is that touching the status of the golfer em- ployed in mercantile houses selling sporting goods. According to the re- vision. stockholders in such establish ments. salaried people connected with them or writers on golf are not made professionals unless they use the gaMe or the & ne of 1t for the purpose of ex- plotting their business. Which means that the saIaried representative or member of a mercantile firm who drums up business on the links, or the reporter or owner of paper who fre> quents tournaments to secure subscrip- tions, becomes ineligible to amateur tournaments. And that Is quite as 1t should be. Golf has suffered from the invasion Of drummers in the guise of sportsmen. On the other hand, $, orts- men have suffered by the indefinite wording of the rule on this point; so t Is satisfactory to have the T. } clear and forcible. Another excellent and equally needed provision is that dis qualifying for the championship those who have played in any golf tourna- ment under an assumed name. Few realize how important is this provision, since it touches the very essen tfals of amateur sport. In keeping with the wisdom that prompted this ruling is that other rule chasing as a profes- sional in golf who's ever may be elassed as a professional in any other sport.- Harper's Weekly.

A Great Mans Brain.

The brain of Hermann von Helm holtz. who died in 1S94, has been care fully measured, weighed and studied by Prof. Hansemann of the University of Berlin, who has recently published a report on the subject, accompanied by photographs. The brain exceeded the average in weight, but heavy brains are no longer regarded as fur nishing alone an index of mental ca- pacity. Far more significant are the eonvolutions of the brain. and these in Helmholtz's case were remarkable, tho furrows being peculiarly deep and well marked Il those parts Of the brain which are concerned with mental as- sociations. The frontal convolutions were so deeply furrowed that it was difficult for the investigators to follow the ordinarily recognized Assures.

I'll tell you another thing I've noticed. When a woman comes along and makes a big fuss at her husbands funeral and says, T can't live without him!' I know that in a few weeks time I'll see her out here leaning on some young fellows arm. It's never failed. It's happened every time.

A Bunch of Strings Used by ths Ancienss
 to Keep Accounts.

to Keep Accounts.
 Dr. Max Uhle, a distinufshed Ger. man scientist, has been for many years engaged in archaeological ex- Dlorations in Peru. He now ret' ns to that country under the auspices Of the American Exploration society, for the purpose of clearing some of the unsolved problems of the ancient civ ilization of the Incas and to complete a collection for the museum of. the University of California He had made similar collection for the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. Dr. Uhle proposes to remain two years in Peru to complete his work. Among other important discoveries of Dr. Uhle is the kipu, a collection of knotted strings of different eo1ors, which were used by the people of the ancient civiliza- tions of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia for the purpose os keeping accounts. They had no written language and no sys- tenn of figures. Their arithmetic con sisted solely of little knotted strings. Among the primitive villages of the l AAoCo CA4C Ot luS 1uldS depend upon the kipu for keeping ac- counts. and pr. Uhle was so fortunate as to discover them in the hands of Indian herdsmen, who used them so skillfully that they are able to make & record Of every animal, every bushei of feed and article of property that is intrusted to their care The eolors of the different strings represent differ ent articles, such as barley, corn. sheep, rams. ewes, lambs, horses, etc.. while the knots, by their size and dis tanee from each other, express hun- dreds, tens and units, Tn such a man. her as to accurately include the deci- mals. For example. one of the kipus obtained by Dr. Uhle from a shepherd near Lake Titaeaca showed that he had delivered 387 sheep, 2S5 rams, 121 lambs 1 year old, and 99 still younger; the number of bushels of barley that had been used. the number of sheep killed and furnished to the kitchen of the owner of the flock, and the num- Der eaten by the shepherds, the num- Der that died of disease, the number killed by wild animals and by accf- dent, as completely and as accurately as if 1t had all been set down by double-entry bookkeeping.

Had Many G


 General Sir Arthur Cotton. whose death at the age of 95 was recently an- nouneed, was so i'll in Persia sixty-four years ago that his grave was dug in readiness for his death. At the age Of IS he went through the Burmese var, caught the jungle fever many times, and was, as the old man him. self expressed 1t, obliged to quit India three times under sentence of death" by the doctors. Twice he had sunstroke and once the skin of half his body was torn off by a boiler explosion. After forty-f1ve years of battling with sav- ages and microbes the old man gave in and returned to England to die-ae- cording to the doctors. It was the aged generals firm conviction that by ab- stinence from drink and tobacco he had placed his lifelong enemy, death, un- der a tremendous disadvantage.

Tying knots in the handkerchief to jog ones memory had it's origin ID China thousands of years ago. Be- fore writing was invented in that eoun- try. which did not happen until 3,oeo B. C., memorable and important events were recorded by long knotted cords. The most ancient history of China is still preserved as told by these knots. When Emperor Tsehang Xxi invented writing, the entire system of knotting was abandoned. And today the mem ory knots made by us in handker- chiefs are the only surviving deseend- ants of that ancient and curious cus. tom.

oIL USED As FUEL ON SHIPS.
Russian. Italian and German Nayies Ex-
 perimenting with It.


 The enormous annual draw on our coal supply is already somewhat les- sened by the use of liquid fuel, al though the actual effect is, of course. inapprecfable. Sir Marcus Samuel. in recent paper before the Society of Arts, gave an interesting account of the present position of liquid fuel in our own and foreign countries. Ia England oil as fuel is in use on ths Great Eastern railway, and we believe the results have proved satisfactory. It has also been found more or less in use in the Russian, German and Italian navies and one or two foreign railways. We are told that when the old fields of Dutch Borneo were first opened up the oil was not allowed to be carried in bulk through the Suez canal, and there was not a single port at which obstacles were not placed in the way Of it's introduction. Now ves- esls carrying $500 tons, and capable of discharging over 500 tons of oil per hour, pass through the canal regularly The fmpediments placed in the way of it's discharge have been done away with, as experience has shown that there is no real danger. Several ad., vantages are claimed for the use Of this body as fuel to replace coal, tEe chief being the convenience Of storage, the reduction of labor in storing and rapidity Of discharge. The alternate contraction and expansion of the fire bars and steam tubes, unavoidable when coal is used as the fuel, Is said to be altogether stopped, but against this has to be placed risk Of over heating Chronicle.

CITIZENS APPROVE
STEUNENBERG'S ACTS
daho's Governor Upheld BY Conserv.
ative People In His State.
ROOT IS SHOWN PETITION
Asked Secretary of War To Let
the Troops Remain.

A Washington dispatch says: Gov
ernor Sseuneaberg, of Idaho, called at
the war department Saturday and pre-
sented III person to Secretary Root
the petition to whicl he referred while
under examination before the house
committee on military affairs in favor
of the retention of the Federal troops
in the disturbed mining districts. The
governor had refused to produce the
petition before the committee until
he had first submitted it tcthe secre-
tary of war, to whom it was addressed.
The petition bears about $500 sig
natures, and cities that all o. the sign
ers ere citizens Of Idaho and of the
county of Shoshone and the Occur
d'Alene mining district. They petition
that the secretary of war be allowed
small force Of federal troops to re-
main in the quarters provided for them
and occupied by them at the town OF
Osborn, Shoshone county, for as long
O time as Governor Steunenberg may
think their presence necessary for the
preservation of peace and order.
The citizens also express their ap-
proval of all the acts that have been
done by the governor and the officials
c. their state to preserve peace and or
der and to bring criminals to justice.
The petition says that some CT the
acts of the state authorities may ap-
pear to people at distance to be dras'
tic and severe, but the siguers, who are
familiar with the conditions which e1-
listed for several years prior to the
declaration Of martial law last May,
know that drastic measures were nec-
essary to stop the band of conspira-
tors, who, shielding themselves behind
the name of the labor organization,
had created reign of terror and ty-
ranny seldom equaled in the history
of the community.
In conclusion the signors beg to
state the efforts of the governor and
the state officials, assisted by the mill
tary officials, have brought peace and
good order to the district and given
ar impetus to all business interests
and q sense of safety to all people,
which are highly appreciated, and for
which the signors are grateful.

DAVIS ESPOUSES
CAUSE OF B0ERS
Resigns Job AS Assistant
Secretary of Interior
TO TALK FOR KRUGER
Since His Visit To Seat Of War hr. Davis
Declares Burghers Are Righ! and
England Is Wholly Wrong.

A Washington special says: Web
ster Davis, assista Mt secretary OF the
interior, rendered his resignation to
President Mckinley Monday. he
will go on the lecture platform in the
interest of the Beers.
In an authorized statement given
out, Mr.. Davis says that as result OF
his visit to the Transvaal he feels i'm
PEELED to tender his resignation as as
sistant secretary of the interior. He
will at an early date deliver lecture
in the interest of the South African
republic.
Mr.. Davis feels that this is the best
way to arouse the enthusiasm of the
American people in behalf of those re-
publics.
Mr.. Davis decided to take this course
as the result of his visit to South Afri-
ca. He has decided to deliver pub
lie address touchicg the entire scope
of the present war and believes that
he can best do so while free from any
restraint which his present position
would impose upon him.
When taking his departure home
from Pretoria 1000 gathered to take
leave of him at the station. They ap-
pealed to him in tears to state their
cause to the American people, and Mr..
Davis says his conscience would haunt
him if he proved recreant to that pitt
full appeal.
He believes the American people
are not truly informed on the situation.
He will, therefore, avail himself of an
early opportunity to relate his expert
ence and observations at a public
meeting that shall be free to all. Mr..
Davis has decided on this course after
mature deliberstion and free consulta-
tion with his friends.
Davis, who is q resident OF Kansas
City, has reputation in the west OF
being q great orator. He was espe-
cially prominent in the campaign
which led up to the nomination Of
Mckinley at st. Louis.
Those who do not approve of his
course declare that as soon as he got
to Washington Davis became afflicted
with the swelled head and that his
change of heart is entirely due to his
chagrin in being called down when
Secretary Hitchcock took control OF
the interior department. They say
that Davis at that time was fondly
imagining himself the most important
figure in administration circles, and
that because Secretary Hitchcock did
not so regard him he sulked and went
off to Africa to find some pretext for
further self.advertisement.
A good deal of this may be true, but
it does not minimize the political i'm
portance of this action of the assistant
secretary of the interior.
There is no doubt that the over
whelming sentiment of the American
people is with the Beers and that SEN
timent is not likely to die out when
men like Davis who have been on the
scene become active in the agitation
in their behalf.

ORATORY IN SENATE.

Debate On Porto Rican Bill Draws
Large Audience of Lookers.On.
A Washington dispatch says: AS the
hour for the senate's vote upon the
Porto Rican bill drew near the popu-
lar interest, so far as Washington is
concerned, was greatly increased.
Monday there was flow of oratory in
the upper house of congress and the
result was that the galleries were
crowded almost to sufocation, and
thousands of people were turned away,
unable to gain admission. Perhaps q
good deal of this interest was due to
the announcement that Senator Depew
would be among the speakers.
