COLUMBIA CUP DEFENDER.
The Old Yacht Has Been Selected for the
Duty This Year.

Newpor', Sept. 5.-Tthe yacht Co.

chosen to race against the Shamrock

The decision was reached today after

The performances Of the two boats
were crit oally compared, and it was
the conclu sion that the behavior of the
Columbia was far more consistent than

, sons,mssances, there was no alterna-
live but to name her as the defender Of
the cup.

Constitution, expressed disappoint-

selected ~ the cup defender.
He said everything possible had been
done to get che best speed out of her
and he hsd no fault to hod with officers
or crew. Mr.. Duncan laid much blame
on the sails of ths boat for her erFstio
racing. He said it was mistake to

Men who go racing suffer from

MEANING OF MANUSCRIPT.
dicate Matter Written by
Hand,

The singular and plural forms OF
the abbreviated word manuscript"
(MS. and MSS.) are the initials of the
two Latin words manu- scriptum,
whence our word is derived. OF
course, says st. Nicholas, it means,
literally, written by hand. After the
introduction of printing. certain
books were spoken of as codices (or
libri impressD, printed books, to dis
tinguish them from codices manu-
script. Most of the old and impor
tant records found in manuscript and
preserved in libraries have been
copied and reproduced in print, so
that we need not trouble ourselves
to decipher crooked characters or
half-faded writing. 1t is, however,
interesting as well as very curious
TO hold in ones hands the parchment
or half-decayed paper on which the
hand OF some great scholar, long
since dead, traced the story of his
day, or wrote a poem which lives
even now. Would you not like to
own. for instance, the manuscript OF
Virgil's Aeneid, or OF Dante's Divine
Comedy" written by their own
hands? You would be very rich
young person If you did; but, of
course, the real originals of the long
ago writers are very difficult, in fact
impossible, TO find. Probably they
do not exist, and certainly If they ex-
ist, no one knows where they are.

PATHOLOGICAL DREAMERS.
Peculiar Alterations of Conduct and
Tendencies to Fantastic
ExagGerauons.

Students of psychological medicine
will be particularly interested in some
recent cases Of pathological dreaming
which Prof. A. Dick, of Prague, has
been studying. Psychologists have
long recognized similarity between
dreams and the delusions of the insane
or the waking delirium of the opium
eater, says New York exchange.
One case occupying the attention of
Prof Dick is that of man, aged 43,
goldsmith. During the ten years of
his married life his wife has noticed
that he often, during the day and
night, spoke TO himself, sonnet times
softly and sometimes loudly, as though
he imagined himself 10 be among his
fellow workmen. II spoken TO he
ceased at once, but gave no explana-
ton except upon one occasion, when
he said that various thoughts came to
him against his will, which he had to
speak out, although he knew that it
was untrue.
Another case deals with a clerk, aged
Is, who manifested peculiar aberra-
,ions of conduct in the form of petty
embezzling and theft, and tendency
TO fantastic exaggerations. His wax
ing reveries or dreams were sometimes
so realistic that he could not distin-
guish them from actual facts.

METAL EGGS FOR DRINKS.
Ovoid Capsules of Copper Containing
Ice for Cooling Too-Warm
Beverages.

One OF the oldest OF recent inven
tions is rcfrigerating egg, as il
might be called. 1t is an ovoid cap
sule OF nickel-plated. copper, about
the size and shape OF hens egg, hol
low and nearly filed with water. Fol-
use it is frozen so that its contents
become ice, says the Philadelphia
Post.
II you have a glass of milk that is
not cold enough, you do not like tc
put ice into it, because dilution with
water spoils the beverage. But, II
you have one of these eggs handy
you may drop it into the glass, and in
few moments the liquid is reduced
to the desired temperature. In the
same way you may cool your cup OF
coffee, If it is too hot, and the idea is
equally applicable to any Other
drink
Many people nowadays are disin
clined to use ice in their drinking wa
ter, because 1t may contain germs
All danger is avoided by dropping one
Of these metal eggs into ones tum
bier
The refrigerating egg is a little
less than full OF water, SO as to allow
for the slight expansion OF the liquid
in freezing; otherwise, of course, the
capsule would burst. After being
filed the capsule is sealed SO perfect
ly that no one can tell where the
opening was, and thus il is absolutely
water tight. Such an egg Of metal, it
is said, can hardly be broken, and
ought to last forever.

The Heaviest Of CUPS.

Americas cup is apparently the
heaviest bit of silverware in the
world. Sir Thomas Upton. tha.
prince of sportsmen and genial gen.
tleman, has not been able to raise
that cup or tilt it the least bit in his
direction, says the New York Her
aid.
1t is estimated that he has spent
about $1,000, 900 to lift it and yet it
firmly maintains its level of the last
half century. He has spent enough
to lift Westminster abbey an entire
story and still Ia unable to move that
cup the smallest fraction Of an inch
nearer the British islands. II he had
put that money into coal, and by its
combustion converted small portion
of the water he has sailed over into
steam, he would have power enough
to lift the great pyramid. Yet all
this power directed against that lit
tie cup has not been able to even
shake it on its foundation. Surely
this is q wonderful exhibition of
gravity.

Metals That Flow.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that one of the most important prop
critics of metals employed in striking
coins and metals and stamping and
shaping articles of jewelry is that of
flowing under pressure, says the
Youths Companion. Standard silver
is remarkable for this property, which
precisely resembles the flowing of u
viscous fluid. The flow takes place
when the metal is subjected to rolling,
stamping or hammering, and the par
ticles of the metal are thus carried
into the sunken parts of the die with
out fracturing, and perfect impress
sion 10 produced.

Corporations 1. E.sIa.a.

A curious illustration of the power
Of corporations is reported from
England. From time immemorial il
has been established law there that
bequests made for the propagation
of secular or freethinking doctrines
we're subject to confiscation by the
king, and thousands of pounds have
been thus confiscated. Recently,
however, it occurred to some person
to try a new plan. A company
known as the Secular society Qim-
ited) was incorporated for the spe-
cfic purpose Of receiving such be-
quests, and the best English lawyers
say that under its charter it can re-
ceive and use bequests for the very
purpose so long held unlawful. A
corporation is a strange entity.
