A CHESS-PLAYING TOWN.
One of the Requirements OF Every
Inhabitaut of n Village
in Hungary.

Therei is in Hungary village probab'
ly unique among the worlds towns, in
that it not only encourages chess as a
pastime, but insists that the king of
games shall be played by every man,
woman and child in the place.
1t is just as necessary in this out-of-
the-world spot for the inhabitants to
be proficient chess players as it is for
them to be able to read, write and
cipher. Prizes are given to the school
children for proficiency in chesse
Problems are given to the scholars
that they are expected to take home
and work out in their spare hours in
addition to their other tasks.
Hungary has long been famous for
her chess players. Indeed, this little
village has, as can be well understood
turned out more than one player who
has been considered fit to rank
with such giants as Lasker, Steinitz OF
Tchigorin.
Every Christmas great tournament
is held in the village, and the burgo'
master gives prizes for the best ju
venile and adult players.

Quail Will be Plentiful.

There will be lots of quail this sea-
son, says well known hunter
"The winter season has been a
good one for quail" "because it was
not of extreme severity, and, there
fore, there were more survivors than
for number of seasons in which hard
weather prevailed and killed the
parent birds. This mild season con-
dition will also result in there being a
greater number of rabbits when the
cunning season opens.
alt certainly is an inspiring sound
to the man with cunning proclivities
and the true sportsman's instinct"
continued the squire, "to hear the
cry of the quail in the early morning.
1t is now about time for the young
birds to come out of the shell, and ii
has been common sight during the
last month to see the old birds slngly
and IN pairs running along the road
in front OF my horse, or perched on a
fence post within touch OF my whip
lash. Only once did / see the birds
fly at the approach of the team. They
usually ran swiftly to the side of the
road and made their way to the under
brush, where the nest was probably
located.
"Quail usually fetch their brood
out about haymaklng time, and many
OF the nests are doubtless destroyed
by the reaping machines and other
wise. It's shame, too, how the
birds are destroyed during the hunt
ing season by pot-hunters, who ruth
lessly kill and slay, devoid of any in.
stinct save that of slaughter. Then,
again, the men who use ferrets in
hunting rabbits should be harshly
healt with. With all the violations OF
the game laws: open violations, most
of them, too, there does not seem to
be anyone with sufficient courage to
take up the prosecution of the viola
tors. If the dolngs of the last few
seasons are allowed to continue by
this class of hunters our game birds
will soon be extinct"

ORIGIN OF BICYCLE-DIvING.
Feat First Performed by Roman
Youth ON the BANKS of the
River Tiber.

The idea Of diving on bicycle orig
mated with a bright and clever Roman
youth of %, named Umberto Diamanti
feat which called for nerve and dar-
ing of high order, together with the
ability of powerful and rapid swim
mer. The idea was to ride along the
top of the artificial embankment of
the Tiber and plunge into the river be.

over the machine, not only after leav.
ing terra firma and plunging dizzily
into midair, but also during the awful
and breath-catching descent to the
surface of the water. After sinking
deep down with the machine, he must
swim to land with it-a most awkward
and even dangerous "rescue" to effect
when beyond ones depth. Thus It may
be seen that the contest was one which
called for more than the average
amount of physical endurance, as well
as for a steady head and unshakep
nerve, says Pearson's Magazine.
very interesting contest was ar.
ranged between young Diamanti as a
cyclist and his rival, Borghi, on foot.
This weird and extremely novel race
was easily won by the iron-nerved
cyclist, both as regards time and clean
jumping.
There was tremendous excitement
just before the race came off, and dense
crowds lined the high embankment
that skirts the Tiber. The excitement
was quite at fever heat when the order
was given-"Go!" and both cyclist and
foot runner started off Mt a terrific
pace. 1t seemed hardly possible that
any sane man could deliberately ride
bicycle over so appalling precipice;
but, what is much more remarkable
Sig. Diamanti not only did this, but
actually retained his presence oGmind
throughout the entire descent through
the air as well as on striking the water
and even beneath the surface. for he
brought his troublesome mount to land
with little or no eXertion. amid the
frantic applause of the spectators.

EDIBLE PETROLEUM.
salad OIL Butter nnd Cooking Oil Are
Being Worked Upon at the
Present Time

Cottonseed oil, corn oil and linseed
oil, there is good reason to believe,
will probably have a rival at not
distant day in edible petroleum oil.
Recently the editor of the National
Provisioner was asked this question:
What is the difference in edible
oils?' The question suggests the rea-
sons for'present experiments. "As a
matter of fact" declares our contem-
porary, petroleum has been success
fully desulphurized and demineral-
lied. Certain other solids and ingre
dients have been extracted from it,
and the production of n fairly good
edible oil has already been produced
The cost of this evolution, however,
has as yet been so great as to re-
move the product from the field of
competition and utility. Petroleum,
stock has, it is claimed in we'll
informed quarter, already taken its
place as a soap grease. Why not? 1t
has always been good hand and
sore wash, and it is healthful. It
may cause a sense of nausea to think
of petroleum salad oil, petroleum but
ter and petroleum cooking oil, but
such things are being worked upon
right now. Their names will be
changed for commerce. Science ia

The Risk of BalIOoning.

Considering the risks aeronauts nee
essarily take every time they make an
ascent the science or sport or trade
(for it partakes of all three) is ex-
traordinarily free from fatal acci-
dents, says the London Chronicle. Mr..
Charles Green, who made over 600
trips, died at the age of S4 in 1870,
Twenty years later NJ, Eugene GODDARD,
who had made quite 1000 ascents, died
in his bed. On the other hand, among
British balloonists, Capt. Dale was
killed before he had completed 200, and
Capt. Whelan also, in 1892, met his
death in his three hundred and tif-
teenth ascent. Mr., Perciyal Spencer,
our most noted living English aero
naut, has probably beaten all these
records, and has in addition made par
achute descents on all the continents
and in most OF the seas surrounding
them.

The Loose Stone Nuisance.

Judge White, of Indiana county, in
his talk to constables recently called
their attention to the Law requiring
supervisors to pick the loose stones
from the roads, saying it was i'm

forced. A fine of ten dollars can be
recovered from any supervisor who
refuses or neglects his duty. The
same law will apply to the neglect OF
boroughs in allowing loose stones to
remain in the streets.
