The Ferocity of Football.

Finely Peter dunno, in Golfers
The game of football long ago ceased
to be q form of healthful recreation.
AT present 1t Is Il cource of unWhole-
some rivalry to the students and Il
spectacle of uncivilizel ferocity to the
general public. Merely as IL spectacle 1t
has lost nearly all the features that APP
peal to a healthy love of sport. If the
spectator We're unaware of the depth
and intensity OF the rivalry 1t is doubt
full whether he could see anything
properly amusing in the pushing and
smuggling that carries the ball down the
field. But that is beside the question.
The chief complaint We have to make
against Intercollegiate football relates
to it's effect beyond the walls of the
university. Rugby football will always
be played by small colleges and schools
as it is played in the great universities.
Harvard and Yale practically dictate
the rules for the country. III they play
fiercely, encourage crushing sforina-
TONS" and minimize the rewards of
agility and presence of mind. the small
fry will follow their example. Their
we'll trained men may be temporarily
disabled by a play which will XIII d
half grown youth. The rushing that
knocks the breath out of Il Harvard
center may knock the life out of q high
school boy. No one IN the great uni
versities has been killed or crippled by
the brutal plays now practiced, but
year by year the list of fatalities among
the teams of the small colleges and
schools grows.

True Version of a Famous Order.
New York Tribune: Did Admiral Dew
ey ever give the now historical order
You may fire when you are ready. Grid
ley?' Interested spectators of the en-
gagement say that those words were new
er spoken. but the sentence was ar
ranged after the fight was over. The In
side facts regarding the great May day
battle OF 1898 put new light on the In
cident, and one who talked with tho adj
mlral soon after that battle is authority
for the following veracious account:
admiral Dewey never gave the order
In those words at least. The utterancc
was put in his mouth by others and
agreed upon as an appropriate one to
hand down to posterity along with the
other famous sayings of history. Soon
nfter the last shot had been fired and
the Spanish power In the Pacific was a
thing of the past the newspaper CORE
spondents gathered about tho admiral as
Is the custom on such occasions to get
the facts for their dispatches The al-
mlral told briefly everything that had

his recital tho group fell TO discussing tht

| handed down from every important en-
gagement In history; some terse, briel
expression characteristic of the man who
led his forces to victory.

BUILT AS THE CROW FLIES.
The New Trans Canadian Railway Viii
Span the Continent.


Span the Continent.
e. T. ID. Chambers, in the Review of
Reviews: The proposed line of the
4 Trans Canada railway is one of the
most direct which cam span the CONT
nent. Starting from deep water ter
mini Mt Chicoutimi the head of nayi-
CATION on the Saguenay river-at Que
bee, and Mt Montreal. 1T is destined to
| traverse and develop the best part of
the newly discovered wheat and timber
| lands of northern Quebec, In the James
bay district, TO tap the whole of thu
| James bay and Hudson bay trade, to
open up the valuable mineral country
of northern ontario. To cross the cen-
ter of rich wheat lands of the Peace
\ river valley. and, finally, to reach one
of the finest ports on the Pacific coast
by q pass I'm the mountains only 1000
| feet high. as compared with 4,i25 ut
| Crows Nest and with $500 at Kicking
! Horse.
| The most cursory glance at the line
laid down on the map for the new road
reveals the directness of the route and
Its far northern location.
From Quebec to Port Simpson via
the Trans Canadian railway will be
only 1880 miles, all of the route south
of the northern limit of wheat, while
| the distance between the same points
via the Grand Trunk railway will be
about 3,400 miles. and that from Que
| bee to Vancouver by the Canadian Pa
! ciflc railway is 3,07S miles. The expect
| cd saving In both distance and gradi-
ents by the proposed road over existing
routes from Manitoba To the Canadian
seaports on the st. Lawrence is so
great that the promoters have already
1 undertaken to carry wheat from all
| points on Its line in the province of
! Manitoba to the ocean steamer at Chi
coutimi, Montreal or Quebec at rates
which will save the farmers OF Mani
toba and the Northwest about cents
| per bushel on present cost of transport
taton to the seaboard 1t is claimed
that this saving alone viii much more
than pay the total interest upon the
cost of the roads construction.

Tho Forspauoh- Sells Circus Wants an
Understudv for Dlavolo.


Understudy for Diavolo.
Kansas City Star: 1--WE wish there
was more than one man in this wide
world who could successfully perform
that loop act" said James Devote.
one of the Forepaugh- representa-
tives, who arrived in town yesterday.
You see. this man Diavolo Is going to
get hurt sooner or later. He realizes 1t
and we realize 1t. The requirements
for the successful accomplishment Of
this feat are 80 exact that the slightest
deviation means an accident-and an
accident means almost certain death.
We would be very glad indeed to find
another man who could successfully
perform this feat. for, as things stand
now, II Diavolo does make a slip, It's all
off with the act until we find some one.
And the pay is not bad, either. $1,000 a
week-the time to earn 1t, just seventy
two seconds. that is. six seconds at,
each performance, or twelve seconds al
day. But fix UP your insurance first,
for 1T would take road roller to drag
an insurance agent near you after you
signed the contract.
The basis of the act Is the opposition
Of the two forces, velocity and gravity.
To make the act possible the velocity,
must be sufficient to exert quantity
Of centrifugal force great enough to
overcome the natural force OF gravita-
ton. In other words, 1t can be mathe-
matically proved that an unobstructed.
freely moving spherical body Weighing
925 pounds, moving over a space of ITO
lineal feet at an angle of 45 degrees,
will generate sufficient velocity to carr
ry 1T almost perpendlcularly 2Sa feet.
And there you have 1t. The man
weighs 100 pounds, the bicycle 65
pounds; total, 225 pounds. The runway
is ITO feet long, pitched at an angle of
IS degrees, and the loop proper is 231la
feet in diameter. But then that simply
proves the act possible-the trick is to
do it. Diavolo does it twice daily, and
onstration of pure, unauthorized dare
deviltry that American ingenuity has
