The friends of the late Frank Ham. ilton Cushing have collected the ma terial he left concerning the "Folk Tales of the Zuni Indians,n and will publish it in a handsome illustrated volume, with an introduction by Mai
 J. w. Powell. It is a work of love and admiration, and an effort to pre-. serve from oblivion the results of a long and patient inquiry into the tra
 dltions and rights of the most in ter esting of all the aboriginal American communities. It was the worlds great loss when Mir. Cushing died with vol umes of notes unpublished, but com mittee of his friends, consisting of Major Powell, Miss Alice Fletcher of Peabody Museum, Dr. Frank Boas of the American Museum in New York, stewart Culin of the Philadelphia Museum of Archaeology, George A.. Dorsey of the Field Columbian Mu- scum of Chicago, and Professor Holmes Of the Smithsonian Institution, have volunteered to rescue and edit a col lection of his most interesting sketches which will be published under the di. rection of F. w. Hodge of the bureau or ethnology at Washington and editor of the American Anthropologist.

A great change is about to be made in the Roman Catholic churches of the United States. The operatic music so long in vogue, and which has alway S proved so particular a drawing card for non Catholics, is to be abolished, and the simple Gregorian chant more generally substituted, together with the old fashioned choral music of the earlier church. Furthermore, 1t is re ported that women are to be excluded from the choirs of the churches in America, as they are from the churches of Italy, France, Spain and Germany. The Congregation of Rights is now holding meeting in Rome, and, al. though their decree has not yet been officially delivered to the apostolic le gation here, it's substance is generally understood in Rome and has been given wide circulation in the Roman papers. The Bishop of Cincinnati is the first bishop in this country to take this step of his own volition, course which for the last dozen years or so has been approved by the holy see. Followed by large German backing, the bishop has already instituted the reform, and entirely reorganized the choirs of all of the churches in his diocese.

VARIOUS TOPICS.

If some Paris doctors are to be be- lieved, there will be no more opera tions for appendicitis. Recent experi' ments have shown that the much dreaded malady is due in many eases to heminthiasis, which means the presence of two kinds of worms, as carides and trichocephali, in the COG cum. In one case doctors daughter was about to be operated on for ap- pendicitis on the report of two ex, perts that it was inevitable, when she was cured by the administration of santonin. The mode of discovering the worms was by examination of the excreta, which proved to contain quantities of eggs.

For hundreds of years the brightest minds of all civilized countries have been working to perfect cipher code that could not te solved and at the same time might 'oe readily translated. This government has spent thousands of dollars to perfe ct each of the various codes uset by the different depart ments, ant' yet what has been spent by this country is very small com. pared with the vast sums spent by Eu. ropean governments to obtain cipher systems which would defy the in genuity of the sharpest spies in the world. Probably the most compli, cated code used by the United States IS the naval code, and the secret of this code is guarded as nothing else is guarded. All the code books for the use of officers are bound in lead SU thas in case of possible accident or capture they can be thrown overheard. Very soon, however, the old, clumsy codes used by the different govern ments and the cipher codes of com merce will be largely thing of the past. A simple little typewriter-the most simple ever made, and at the same time the most wonderful-will cause all the lead-covered books to be heaved into the sea and revolutionize the method of transmission of all mes sages which must be secret. The won. derful new machine is the invention of George 0. Blickensderfer and it is the result of nine years constant work and study.

IJ seems that almost before they have demonstrated their full use in the navy homer or carrier pigeons are likely to be abandoned as means of communicating between ship and shore. Secretary Long has appointed a naval board, headed by Captain Chadwick, to determine whether or not the homer pigeon service should be given up. This action is taken in view of the successful application to naval purposes of the system of wire less teiegraphy that has been made abroad. Up to this time, for lack of funds, our navy has done little to adopt this system, but with the money available under the new appropriation bill, it is expected that it will be brought up to date in this respect.

THE POLO SITUATION.
LEADS WITH OTH.
 ERS BUNCHED TOGETHER.

Attendance All Over the Circuit fo
 the Past Week Has Been Good-Ney
 Haven Has Changed From First |,
 Third Place Cunningham Wi
 Again Join the Biues-G Games Thi
 Week wili be Wednesday nn,
 Thursday Nights.
 The attendance at the polo games al over the circuit has been highly satis factory during the past week, and the various managers are well pleased with the results. Meriden so far has drawn the largest single attendance | having had over one thousand at the game with Wallingford Saturday night There is little doubt but what the pres ent week will see an increased attend | ance at all of the games.
 m *% * V The players are fast getting into con- dition and are at present playing faster polo than anything that has been seen for many a day True, they have not yet got the scientific part of the play down to the stage where it belongs, but this will develop within the next week or so and then the patrons of the game may count on seeing polo of the gilt edge order served up toet them.
 % k
 There has been quite a shake up in the standing of the teams during the past week; New Haven after occupying first place from the start, gave place to Meriden, and Meriden in turn have va cated in favor of the Wallingford villa gers. Waterbury and New Britain still bring up the rear end of the procession. But both are determined to change po- sitions with some of the leaders before the week is out Who will it be
 *
 The New Haven team, all things considered, did very well during the past week, handicapped by the absence of Cunningham and coming as they did against the strongest team in the league, were lucky In winning one game out of the weeks series. The overtime game at the rink against Meriden was a very hard one to lose. Time and time again during the over time period the Blues had the hardest kind of luck in not caging the mall
 
 The welcome news that Cunningham will join the New Haven ranks again this week will be received with the utmost satisfaction by the followers of the team and the Blues ought to give a good account of themselves before the week is out.
 The first home game this weeek will be played tomorrow night, when Wa terbury will make their second appear ance here. The, time of the teams met at Waterbury the game resulted in the home teams favor by the narrow mar gin of one goal. A good game is sure to be the outcome of the holiday contest, which will be played with Merden at the rink here on Thursday night.
