The athletes who will represent our
universities and athletic clubs In the
oly1upian games at the Paris Exposition
next month will find many obstacles TO
overcome before they can feel sure OF
themselves and theiI ability to make
winning showing.
The principal obstacles to be overcome
gill be found in the rules which govern
aeld events, aai It will take considerable
practice to put them 1T ease alongside
those athletes who for years have known
TO ether rules.
For instance the shot will he put and
the discus will be scaled FROM square
instead of a circle, as here, and the
measurements will be male from tie
square. or a prolonsa;ion Of the lines on
each side to the nearest break in the
ground made by the implement.
The fifty-six pound weight event will
not be contested. shot. discus, and BAN,
mer will comprise what is known as
weight events any style of handle may
be used for the hammer.
The handspring will be done by Of
f3cialss o. the Union das Societies Franchise
of Sports AthletiQues, whose rules Will
govern contests.
The pole yaulting rules have apparently
been modelled after the English rules, and
cur American pole vaulters will find that
they will be severely Handicapped in this
respect, for in America We have eliminated
the climbing of the pole. which English
men are allowed to do. This may give the
Englishmen an ssvantage ever cur Ansri-
can champions.
Local Baseball League.
Notwithstanding the excellent quality OF
the game the local baseball league is put
ting up. the attendance is hardly fair sized
and the teams and the league management
are rather discouraged over the lack of
local pride.
But few professional State leagues play
better ball than do the majority Of the
local teams 1t is hoped that, beginning
with next week and running through
the Fourth of July games, which will
be played morning and afternoon, there
will be a healthy increase IN the attend
ance of local rooters and baseball fans gen.
orally.
Three Of the teams are pretty well
punched for places at and near the top OF
the ladder, and from now on It will be q
battle worth witnessing.
The Eastern A. C. has a comfortable
lead at first place. with the Y. NJ. c. A.

INSECTS TO IMPROVE FIGS.

thus insuring the fertilization and con-

HAIR PLANTING.
Successful Experiments of Turkish
Physician.

Physician.
A Turkish physician has beel ex-
perimenting successfully on the trans
planting of hairs one by one to bald
parts Of the scalp His results seem
to show that there is no impossibility
in the complete renewal of a lost head
of hair by this means. The physician,
Dr. Menahem Hodara, according to a
foreign paper, tried his experiments
in the case of a disease that had re-
moved part of his patients hair. His
plan was to scarify the bare surface
and to implant thereon hairs removed
from other parts of the patients head
The hairs used for the purpose vera
trimmed with scissors at each end.
Some four weeks after implantation q
certain number of the hairs were
found to have taken root, and in no
long time a goodly new crop was pro"
duced. Encouraged by these results.
DR.. Hodara has since applied tho
method III other cases of badness fol-
lowing favus, and he thinks himself
justified in stating that "clinically
there can be no doubt as to this very
curious faet-that small bundles of
nair stems cut with scissors and inn
planted in the ineisions made with the
scarifer can take root and grow, form
ing in time long and visible hairs"
BY microscopic examination he has
satisfied himself that after some weeks
real new bulb forms at the lower
end o. the implanted hair. DR.. Hoda~
ra's results are interesting in them
selves, and still more in the promise
which they appear to offer of further
results, undreamed of, or at any rate
unmentioned, by the ingenious expert.
menter Why, asks the New York
Herald, should not the same treatment
be applied in cases of ordinary bald
ness? Many bald men would gladly
submit to have their sealps plowed
and afterward sown with new hairs II
there was a reasonable hope Of even
q moderate harvest.

MICE HAVE A STANDING IN Law

Land Ownership

they Figured in a Recent Contest Over
Land Ownership.
From the Spokane Review: The
lan6-eontest case in which a family
of nice played a prominent part has
been decided on the appeal to BingeI
Hermann, commissioner of the gen
eral land office at Washington. The
rodents are net mentioned in the deci=
sion, but the man whom it was claimed
allowed the mice to establish d resi-
dence in ais bed is allowed to retain
possession OF his homestead, the ruiz
ing Of the local land Office being re-
fefsed and the contest dismissed a
peculiar feature of the case is that
when tie family CT nice was first men
toned It was 9 tended that their
presence in the bed of the enttyman
argued an abandonment Of the home
stead, and tba local land Office appar-
entity took the same view of the mat
ter. But when the decision was ap
pealed from it was set up that the
presence Of the mice was an argument
N favor of The homesteader Fred o
Grutt was the entryman, having taken
lp homestead near Davenport three
years ago. Last August John O'Neil
instituted contest to the homestead
entry, alleging that Grutt had aban-
doned the claim, did not keep up a
continuous residence thereon, and that
the only inhabitants of the shanty on
The ranch were a family of mice
After hearing the case the registrar
and receiver decided that Grutt's en-
try should be Cancelled. From this de-
eisioR Grutt had sixty days in which
to file an appeal to the commissioner
at Washington. The appeal was fled
by Leo Walton, attorney for Grutt In
the appeal the mice family was re.
ferred to as follows: IF there were
any mice in this entryman's bed dur
ing the early part of September, 1898.
it plainly shows that the entryman
did have bed on the land at the
time.~

terior of a Nevada Cavern.
On the north side of the Osgood
range of mountains, about four miles
east of Eden creek, there is natural
cave of quite large dimensions. 1t IL
in the limestone formation and has
the appearance of an old worked-out
usee With its slopes, raises and
ws.5s &c is almost impossible to find
the entrance, as it is covered with
growth of underbrush. The first thing
that a person notices is smaA creVlce

the crevice on hands and knees he
finds that it widens as he goes down
About fifteen feet from the entrance
a man can stand ur and walk down
the gradual incline, which is at about
60 degrees. At a place thirty feet
from the mouth there is raise some
thirty feet high and drift forty feet
long. The sight which meets the cave
seekers gaze at this point is most
beautiful. On the ceiling large stalac-
tites hang in clusters, and the walls
are decorated with crystals of lime in
termingled with drops of water, giving
It the appearance of being set with
millions of diamonds Farther down
the cave widens until chamber Is
reached which is over sixty feet across
and over fifty feet high. There are
numerous other passages or caverns
and on the left there is a passage big
enough to admit the body, that opens
into a second chamber which is about
| twenty feet across and ten or fifteen
! feet high. In the main chamber, some
twenty feet high, can be seen the open
Ing Of another chamber, but as there
Is no timber near to make ladders
the upper cavern has not yet been
explored. There are, no doubt, other
large chambers which could be found
were closer exploration to be made.
Stalactites and stalagmites can be seen
IN all directions. Water Is dropping
continually, and the light Of a candle
shining upon these crystals and drops
of water gives the cave a very en-
trancing appearance. This cave is the
home of the wood rat, and there are
indications that there might be thou
sands of the little animals which make
this natural wonder their home.-Win-
