What Ching Fong Said.

Ching Fong. the Chinese bantam weight
boxer, is out of the hospital, where he
test with Hughey McGovern. He has lost
considerable weight, and it will be sew
eral weeks before he is strong enough to
box. The little Celestial has been rather
unfortunate of late. He has been in the
hospital twice within the last three
months, and has a tin ear" as the re-
suit of the first contest he ever took part
in. Me no likee get hurt all time re-
marked Ching. Jim Jeffries he no get
hurt. All he get is the money. Why don't
Ching get money and no get hurt?"

EMERSON INSTITUTE TEAM.
Schedule of Games to Be Played at Home
and Abroad.

The Athletic Association of Emerson In
stitute has become quite active in local
athletics, and in the past year or two has
developed some very clever track and
field men, and bids fair to become fac
tor in local school football and baseball.
Special attention has been given by the
management to baseball, and this sea-
sons team should win a fair proportion
of the games scheduled for it.
Two games have been played. The first
was won by the Emerson from the Central
High School by the score of 10 TO 5, the
other was lost to Gallaudet on Friday,
score IS to 3.
Following is the seasons schedule of
games. Because of the lack of grounds.
the institute has been extended the cour-

this place against all-comers for the last
two years, and there seems to be no one
able to force him to take a back seat.
Seven men are trying for No. 3, and it will
be hard work to select the man who will

Selections for Seats.

Captain Russell of the Georgetown
crew. says that from now until after the
races on the Hudson in jane he will have
his men on the river, and that there will
be no let up in the training During the
recent bad spell of weather, the men were
kept on the machines, and are now in the
best possible condition The men now
rowing are the most promising lot ever
brought together by the management, and
if they are not able to hold their own in
the fastest company. it viii be very sur
prising and at the same time disappoint-
ing to the followers of Blue. and Gray
athletes. Captain Russell will be seen in
the same position this year as last No. 6.
He is one of the best oarsmen who ever
put on Georgetown suit. and can always
be depended on to last the distance. He
does not seem to let the fact of his be-
ing captain worry him much, and while he
seems to be spending all his time in show
ing the new men how to handle the
sweeps, he is in fine shape and would be
able to row a race tomorrow if it were
necessary.
Kerns at Stroke Again.
Kcrns will stroke the boat again this
year and. of course the student body is
delighted at this. Kerns, it has been said
by those in position to know what they
were talking about, has no equal as a
stroke in a college boat, and. he promises
to be in his usual fine condition this year.
He has been tried out, and everybody
knows that he is gritty, and will stick at
it until the race is rowed. He is rowing
on the river every day.
No. will be filled most likely by one
of the following men, Mahoney Edmon-
ston, or Rorke. All are good men, and

seat will be well accustomed to hard

The information was a complete

know that Colonel Wiley had even
been considering such step. The re-
gret Of all was expressed. His action
resulted from the demands made upon
his time by his business.

ALL MAY WALK GRACEFULLY.
Women Can Easily Acquire the Art of
Correct Carriage.

The introduction Of common-sense
shoes and clothing for women enables
every member of the sex to become
mistress Of a graceful and natural
carriage and graceful, natural man
er OF walking, porn of freedom OF
movement. Whatever may be said in
praise of the girl of our grandmother g
days she could not have been graceful,
arrayed as she was in .hoopskirts, her
stays tightly laced, and her feet cssed
in slippers with ridiculously high
French heels.
There is nothing that distinguishes
girl 30 much as an erect and natural
carriage, a good poise of the head,
and grace of movement. Yet correct
carriage can be acquired with ease,
though it requires time and patience
to perfect it. 1t will seem difficult at
first, and may prove fatiguing, but if
one perseveres grace Of movement will
become second nature.
The correct standing position is one
in which the weight of the body is
thrown not on the heel, either Who'll
or in part, but wholly on the ball .of
the foot. The heel should rest lightly
on the floor. The hips should be
thrown back, the chest elevated as
much as possible, and the head raised
with the chin not thrust out, but
drawn in. The most important thing
to remember, and the hardest to do,
is to keep the weight Of the body on
the ball of the foot When the weight
of the body is changed from the heel
to the ball of the foot the center Of
gravity of the whole body Is changed
and it is necessary to throw back the
hips and throw the chest forward to
keep from falling. So if one remem-
bers simply to keep her weight wholly
on the balls of the feet correct car
rage will follow as natural conse-
quence.
When the correct standing position
has been acquired, it is comparatively
simple matter to walk lightly and
gracefully. When the weight is on the
heel a heavy, jarring walk Is the re-
suit. It conduces to headaches and i
ungraceful in the extreme. Some peo-
pie argue that the toe not the heel
should. first come in contract with the
floor in walking. This, however, only
makes matters worse, for the heavy
jarring gait Is exchanged for a mine
ing walk that is infinitely more I'M
graceful. The heel should come in
contact with the floor first, but if the
weight is on the ball of the foot the
heel will come down as lightly as
thistledown. Even when the heaviest
of shoes, with thick soles, are used,
the step is light and graceful. The
girl who practices walking thus will
soon become unconscious of her feet.
state which certainly approximates
the perfection of 'grace. - Chicago

MAKING LIQUID AIR.
Machine Said to Have Been Perfected
by Prof. Bradley.

A special telegram to the st. Paul
Dispatch gives the following account
of machine for making liquid air:
Middletown, Conn, July 0.-Prof
Bradley, after experiments for several
months, has succeeded in making
liquid air in quantity.
The machine which generates the
liquid air consists in the first place of
a moderate sized kerosene engine,
which furnishes power to q pump
for COMPRISING the air. The air Is
taken from the outside of the labora-
tory by pipe, which before entering
the pump passes through a sixty gallon
boiler full of quicklime. This is to as
sist in taking out the moisture and
carbonic acid.
In the pump there are four cylin-
ders, and, as the air enters the first
cylinder, it is put under a pressure of
about fifty pounds. On suddenly COM
pressing the air it becomes hot, and it
is necessary therefore to pass 1t
through tank filed with cold water
pipes before it goes..1into the next
cylinder to be compressed further. In
this.way the air is pumped through
four successive cylinders, being cooled
between each, while the pressure Is
constantly getting higher and higher
until after the air has passed through
the fourth cylinder it is under pres
sure of about 2. 500 pounds
The air then passes through two
cylinders Of caustic potash to remove
any moisture or Impurities. Now the
air enters the iquifier proper, which
is small copper pipe formed into a
compact COIL This coil is 80 arranged
that the air which rushes through the
valve, made intensely cold by It's ex-
pansion, passes back over the pipes of
the coil through which it came. So
the liquifer becomes continuously
colder and colder until the tempera-
ture of the iquefaction is reached.

SEWER CONTRACT LET.

The board of public works received
only one bid for putting in the Van
Brunt street sewer, today. 1t was
from E. /. P. Staede, and was within
a couple of dollars --of the engineer s
estimate, which was about 81, 300.
This was considered a very reasonable
bid, considering the uncertainty OF
prompt payment of the contractor,
and the board awarded the contract to
him. The sewer will be laid on Van
Brunt from Willard to Carroll, and on
Carroll to State street.
The board did not complete the
making of the North Broad street
sewer assessment, and adjourned the
matter until Wednesday at 3 o. 10.
