THE GAME OF SLIDISK.
PLAYED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF POLO,
But WITH A Disk INSTEAD
OF A BALL.

a new game has been invented and has Sc
cured much vogue among the various clubs of
the University Settlement and other Settle
ments. Regular tournaments have been played
and the game has proved both exciting and
popular. The game has been named "Slidisk."
name which is descriptive as well as euphoni-
GUS as the game is played with disks which
must be kept on the floor and pushed about.
The game is played a smooth floor, on
which rectangular figure is chalked out This
inquire should be about twice as long as it is
vide. 1t is divided into four courts of equal
size and at each end of the figure are goals
such as are used in polo games. The object is
the same as in polo to push the disk or rather
to slide it through the goal. At each goal a
box is chalked and a goalkeeper is stationed
here.
Six players constitute team, a goaIkeeper,
three forwards and two fighters. The goalkeep-
er cannot leave his box. The two fighters are
stationed in the two courts on their side of the
centre line and cannot leave them. Two of the
forwards also stationed in the same courts
and are also confined to the same courts. Only
the centre forward can play in both courts, and
he cannot cross the centre line. Breaking these
rules constitutes foul and gives the opposing
side point.
The game is started by the referee who gives
the disk to the goalkeeper of the side that wins
the toss The goalkeeper slides it to one of his
New-York tribune., 1902-05-18

forwards, who then shoots it for his opponents
goal, or passes it to one of his lighters. A goal
is made in the same manner as in ice polo
when the disk is passed through the goal

caracas being destroyed by earthquakes. Did
volcanoes have anything to do with accidents
Of that kind?"
Earthquakes may follow great volcanic erup-
tions. The explosions may be so great that big
rents are torn in the earth miles away. OF
course, that would make the houses shaky But
in other instances there have been earthquakes
IN parts Of the world where there are no vol
canoes, and some scientific people think that if
there had been volcanoes the destroying force
would have gone out through them and there
would have been earthquake SO, you see,
even if the volcano does destroy on one side it
may be the means of preventing destruction on
the other.
There are places in Iceland, New-Zealand and
IN the United States where there are no signs
OF active volcanoes, and still we know there
We're volcanoes there once upon a time. Wher-
ever gases arise from natural openings in the

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
JAMES HENRY LEARNS FROM HIS
GRANDFATHER OF THEIR
DESTRUCTIVENESS

James Henry had been reading the accounts of
tn destruction Of st. Pierre on the island of
Martinique, and, turning TO his grandfather. he
asked:
.Wuat Is a volcano, grandfather?"
The name shows what the old Romans
thought l. was his grandfather replied "A
volcano meant with them the workshop of Vul-
can the god OF fire. But know better. \
volcano is mountain from which internal heat
sends great volumes of smoke, steam and melted
stone and metal. When there is nothing to hold
these back the eruptions not dangerous, and
people come great distances to see the smoke
curl Up our Of the mountain. There is one vol
cauo in Sicily. called Mount Etna which was
in state Of eruption in 1892 whole year with
out doing any damage. except that the lava
which flowed down into the valley formed a stony
crust more than thirty feet thick, which made
successful farming rather difficult. But when
the moisture which gets into the mountain
makes more steam than find its way out
Il The crater something has to give way, and
the top or the side is torn out of the mountain,
ana th- fire and lava leap high into the air
ana then ceme down upon the surrounding coun-
try"
But if people know this, why do they live in
T1la=s near yolcances?"
No one can explain that. They like the
r.ay with loaded firearms. They read of acci-
dents every day. but do not take the warning.
A volcano is sometimes inactive for many years.
and in that time people take courage to build
their houses near il, and then some day it
breaks forth and destroys everything in the
vicinity.
.Vesuyius Is the name of a great volcano on
the southwestern shore Of Italy. This volcano
must have been on its good behavior for many
centuries. because in the early Roman history it
Was not known as a volcano. Being in beauti-
ful part Of the country the hiIlsdes became
We'll populated. Gardens and vineyards were TO
be seen on all sides Of the mountain, and even
the depression at the top, which was several
miles in area. and at time the ancient crater,
was covered with vineyards. But in the year 63
there were several earthquakes in the vicinity.
These warnings We're not understood, or if they
were We're not needed, for the people remained
there and the cities increased in population. In
the year - a terrific explosion took place, and
following this came an eruption of fire and lava
which destroyed the cities OF Herculaneum and
Pompeii, and buried them so deeply that
their sites were forgotten After this terrible
catastrophe. / believe Vesuyius was quiet about
two hundred years
How many people were killed that time?"
Nobody knows that We only judge by
what has been found in the shape of ruins BY
these know that Herculaneum and Pompeii
were large towns and beautifully built"
What other places have been destroyed in
that way?'
In the East Indies a volcano on an island
between Java and Sumatra destroyed about
36ooo people in 1888 and many other places
have suffered in that way

Politicians Around Des Moines

Des Moines, Sept. 22.-Among politi-
clans the good guessers here feel that
C.E.Albrook of Hardin county,has been
picked for the winner in the Third dis
tract convention next Thursday. They
base this on the theory that the Du-
buque influence will dominate and that
Albrook is most likely to be the man
wanted for the place. The retirement
of Pickett from the race makes it GER
tain that no Blackhawk county man can
win. The machine influence will GER
tainly be against COPYRIGHT because he
led in the opposition to Henderson last
winter and would have made serious
trouble if snap convention had not
been called to head off the movement.
Others here are saying that if Judge
Evans enters the race ne will be the
strongest candidate and may win. But
that which republican politicians are
most discussing is the fact that the
committee failed to let the people of
the district get chance at the nomi-
Eatbbhsand recalled the delegates to the
convention whichfs now dead and past.
THERE'S general disgust that this meth
cd of procedure was followed and a
feeling of managing politics in the Third
district IS sure to cause a great deal OF
trouble in the ranks of the party. 1t is
looked upon as blunder almost as
great as that Of the inexcusable folly
of Henderson,.
