Rasket Balls Growth.

Basket ball in the colleges has enjoy
ed an unprecedented growth this sea-
son. This is not merely true because
Yale, Harvard, Princeton, University
of PENNSYLVANIA, Columbia, Cornell,
Dartmouth, Bucknell and State are all
in line, but it is general throughout the
country. All over the New England,
eastern and middle states the colleges,
with but few exceptions, are taking an
active interest in the game. A great
majority have representative teams,
and In the remainder the sport is con-
fined to interclass games. There have
been disadvantages to overcome in or
ganizing representative college teams
which do not apply to any Of the other
college sports.
The principal one is that the use Of
the gymnasiums for practice by such
teams can be had only at odd and in
convenient times Without plenty Of
opportunity for team practice a team
cannot hope to make successful
showing. Then again the game had
not been officially recognized by col
Ieges prior to this season, the same as
other sports, and this in itself caused
many of the most promising men in
the colleges to refrain from taking part
in the game. This difficulty is gradu-
ally being overcome, and it seems to be
only a question of time when general
recognition is bound to come, as is evil
denced by such action on the part Of
Harvard, Princeton and Cornell with
in a comparatively short time. This
means that ere long there will be inter-
collegiate games between teams repre-
senting the big colleges, the same as in
football and baseball. In fact, some
games of this character have been
played quite recently, and more are
scheduled to follow.

The WOman's Hotel.

It really looks as though the woman's
hotel were going to be built. OF course
there is still a little doubt about It

front door-but matters are shaping
themselves rapidly. There is scarce a
woman who Is not interested in this
project. Those who 1--we in town see
the enormous need of such a hOstelry,
and those who live elsewhere look on 1t
as a possible haven for themselves,
But it seems like one of those things
which are too good to be true. The
housing of women-that is the odlous
but correct term, | believe-iS a prob
lem only second to the housing of the
Door, and one which the women have
been ingeniously settling for them
selves. Some fly to the boarding house
and loath it; some keep house cooper
atively in a fiat and weary of the lack
Of privacy; some 'prig in the studio"
and are but half nourished; others take
rooms and depend on the cheap tables
d'hOte.
But all these are WEAKNESS TO the
flesh, besides having deplorable effects
on the spirits Therefore the woman
worker in New York. whether student
or wage Garner, looks eagerly to the
woman's hotel as happy haven where
she may anchor safely and where ex-
penses shall not be too high. The enor-
nous numbers of girls and women who
live outside of our city and who find
it necessary to come here are equally
excited over the prospect Of n definite
refuge. In the opinion of many wise
women, they would far better not
come. for New York is more than over
crowded with women workers, but ap-
parently the sagest advice Is power
less to prevent the infux.-New York

THE COM MMUTER.
H@w He Spends His Hours of Daily
Railroad Travelling.

The much abused suburbaniteS,
whom the cartoonists picture as COM
ing to the city every morning from
"Lonesomehurst," Lost Mans Lane" !"
"Prunehurst-by-the-T Trolley" and other
places with equally suggestive names,
are an interesting class of individ-
uals. The transient element of the
ctty's population spends several hours
every day whirling over the railroads.
When the novelty of these daily bits
OF railroading has passed into the
monotony of years Of travel through
the same country the commuter has
learned to make the best of the time
he spends on the train.
The "card fiend' is a prominent fig
ure In this class. Both morning and
evening four or FIVE games of cards
are going on in every smoking car, and
II is safe to say that thousands Of dol
lars change hands in this innocent
amusement while the players are hur-
rying to OF from business.
Next to the card sharp" is the man
who only enjoys his cigar and paper
He is oblivious to all his surround
ings and only shows animation when
he is at his journeys end.
Many Of the policies and plans Of
some of this city's most successful
business men have been born or de-
veloped On these trains. The short
respite between the hustle of the city
and the cares of home life is to this
type of man n season for meditation.
Another interesting commuter is the
individual who is on good terms with
all his fellows. He travels up and
down through the car exercising his
repertory Of latest jokes or sympa-
thizing with some gloomy looking
friend who thinks that all the world
is against him. He seems to never
grow weary in his well doing.
The train life of the commuter is now
and then enlivened by wrecks. Though
tossed about and sometimes cut and
bruised, he generally escapes serious
injury. Such experiences as these he
considers the spice and coloring of his
existence.-New York Mail and Ex-

Harvard's New Rowing Tank.

Harvard has n novel rowing tank,
which is the result of faculty and col
lege study, and is a marvel of ingCnui-
ty. BY it the Harvard OarSmen have
almost perfect rowing exercises and
training indoors. The scheme is the de,
velOpment of Professor Hollis of the
engineering department and chairman
of the athletic committee and his class.
/ He put the subject before his class as
problem.
The scheme is based on the idea that
the water in the old rowing tanks Of
fered too much resistance and dead
weight. Professor Hollis and his class
could not make the boat shoot ahead to
lessen this resistance as n shell on the
river does, so they have arranged pro-
pellers run by electric motors at the
bow of the boat" with supplements
ry tubes and machinery, so that the
water rushes by the boat at a good
rate with the oars.
Beneath~the boat are pair of circu,
lar, DETECTING planes, so that the wa
ter returns under the boat after pass
ing down the sides.
The imaginary boat, or support for
the eight sliding seats, is placed in the
center of the tank. The water rushes
from the bow, down the sides to the
stern so that the men pull with it, and
goes back under the boat.
AS a result of this, the men are pull
ing with the moving water. Naturally
they pull faster than the water, so that
there is resistance TO the oars, and the
harder and faster they pull the more
the resistance. In the same way, when
a shell is rushing through the water,
the men are pulling water which is
rushing by them in the same direction
as this tank water.
The tank is Of concrete, G3 feet long
by 2G feet wide. It. has so inches Of
water in it. The seats are on a rectan-
gular wooden box, supported from the

COLOR OF GOLD COINS.
Reasons For Differences In Tint of
Coins of French Mintage.


Some time ago a Frenchman placed
together a number of gold coins Of
French mintage of the beginning, mid
die and end of the last century. He
was much surprised to see that they
differed in color. He set about finding
out the reasons for this difference and
the results Of his Investigations have
been published in La Nature.
There is a paleness about the yellow
OF the 10 and 20 franc pieces which
bear the effigies of Napoleon | and
Louis XVIII that is not observed In
the goldpieces Of later mintage. One
admirer Of these coins speaks of their
color as q beautiful paleness" and ex,
presses regret that it is lacking in later
coins. The explanation of II is very
simple. The alloy that entered into the
French gold coins Of those days con
taIned as much silver as "copper" and it
was the silver that gave the coins their
interesting paleness.
The coins Of the era of Napoleon III
were more golden in hue. The silver
had been taken out of the alloy.
The gold coins of today have a still
warmer and deeper tnge of yellow.
This Is because the Paris mint, as well
as that In London, melts the gold and
the copper alloy in hermetically sealed
boxes, which prevents the copper from
being somewhat bleached, as it always
is when 1t IS attacked by hot air So
the present coins have the full warm
ness Of tint that copper alloy can
give.
IL the coins of today are not so land
some In the opinion Of amateur collect
ors as those issued by the first Napo-
leon, they are superior to those of Ell
ther of the Napoleons in the fact that
it costs less to make them. The double
operation Of the oxidation Of the copper
and cleaning it off the surface of the
coin with acids is no longer employed,
and the large elimination of copper
from the surface of the coins, formerly
practiced, made them less resistant un-
der wear and tear than are the coins
now In circulation.

Annie Growing.

When apples are grown for profit,
the best authorities agree that no other
crop should be grown on the land.
Clean and shallow cultivation should
be kept up from spring until midsum-
mer, when a cover crop of clover, win
ter vetches or alfalfa or, If the land
is too thin for legumes, oats or rye
may be sown to hold the soil during
winter. If apples are only side issue,
well fertilized hoed crops, such as po-
tatoes, beans and garden vegetables,
will keep the soil in order and not ex-
haust it unduly. 1t would be well to
experiment with the earliest varieties
of cowpeas, putting them in in early
June. Oats and peas and corn do well
for cattle and rape for hogs and sheep.

The Public Ga1Iows a Century Ago

Get Size In Horses.

Some of the classes at our horse
shows and some of the prices paid for
winners in these classes are very mis-
leading to the average breeder. We
refer to classes for small horses, say
151 hands or less. says The Nation
al Stockman. Phenomenal horses,
so far as conformation and action
are concerned, have been developed
for these classes, and high prices
have been paid for them. But
the breeder must not conclude from
this that horses of the same size are
generally salable at remunerative
prices, for they are not. The high priced
little horse is q rare exception, the
fair priced little horse is not numerous
and the low priced little horse-his
name is legion. The average horse on
the regular market must have size.
Get every other good quality and lack
this and nine times out of ten the
breeder of the animal will have to sell
him cheap. But get the other good
qualities and size and the horse pays
for his oats every time. Let the ranges
furnish the small horses. They can do
it cheaper than the farmers can.

The Kaiser ms nm Orator.

4 have often heard the Emperor Will
liam ii speak in public" writes one Of
his subjects, a professor in Bavaria.
He does not hide the fact that on
many occasions he has had cause to re-
gret his words of the previous evening.
No matter he is a brilliant orator. He
knows it too. Ideas crowd in his mind,
and phrases to express them abound in
his mouth. His voice appears sharp.
1t is not that really, but simply what
one might call schneidig decisive, de-
termined). He speaks in abrupt SEN
tenccs, which he punctuates regularly
with a gesture of his right arm, a geS-
ture without either grace or elegance,
but ierky and energetic. His left hand
invariably remains riveted on the hilt
of his sword, and his arm, not fully de-
veloped is closely pressed to his side.
When the emperor is going to speak,
his physiognomy reflects a succession
of impressions curious to watch. His
features, immobile and even rigid at
first, relax Immediately he opens his
mouth. Lightning, as it were, plays
over his energetic face his eyes spar
kle with Il fascinating radiancy, and
his upper lip. so beautifully formed, re-
veals every other moment two rows Of
dazzling white teeth. Everything he
says has such Il profound sense of con-
viction and brcathes such zeal that his
listeners are worked upon completely"
