M Filippoff, an eminent Russian sci- enlist, and director of the Scientific Re- view, of Moscow, has been found dead in his own laboratory, in strange cir cumstances. In letter published the day before his death he explained that, since reading in Buckles History of Civilization" that powder had made wars less murderous, lie had been haunted by the idea of inventing some- thing that should make them impossi- ble, and believed he had succeeded, but he had to proceed cautiously, as he had to handle substances horribly explosive and horribly poisonous. Still, he hoped to proclaim the existence of an appara- tus which, working in St. Petersburg, could produce fearful explosion in Constantinople. In fact, his laboratory indicated that he had been working with anhydrous prussic acid, which is believed to have poisoned him.

According to Professor Heilprin, Mont Pelee to-day presents one of the most astounding spectacles of the world. An immense column of solid lava has been raised from the crater until now it towers about a thousand feet above the mountain summit proper. The thickness of this cone, as Professor Heilprin calls it. is three hundred feet or more at the base. The lava comprising the immense column hardened within the crater, and as the awful power beneath forced it upward it has risen higher and higher in air. The column is slightly arched on the side toward St. Pierre. but on the op- posite side it presents a vertical and almost polished surface. In four days preceding June F the column rose sew enteen feet. Professor Heilprin be- lieves that the entire mountain is des- tined to explode some day.

A volume of official facts concerning Italian emigration has just been issued in Rome. It shows that between 1869 and 1880 the emigrants from Italy num- bered 12000O. In 1881 alone as many as 1s5,s32 left the mother country, and the number has since been increasing. Thus. in 1891 there were 2oS,6S1; in 1896, SO7,4S2; in 1901, 5Ss,245, while last year the total touched upon 100000 souls. Out of the last-named batch 1000 were transatlantic emigrants. nearly all of whom were bound for the United States.

The cantons of Valais, Uri. and Gri- sons, Switzerland, have prohibited automobiling within their territories. In Switzerland speed is regulated by law iif each canton, in some only twen-. ty miles an hour is allowed, and in oth- CTS as much as fifty-five kilometers. A chauffeur travelling through this coun- try has, therefore to study nineteen separate sets of rules, and if he, by chance, crosses the frontier" into the prohibiting cantons he is heavily fined. These vacations have practically killed automobiling in Switzerland It is thought that there should exist one law for the control of automobiling.

looked bigger than the house. The man

And the sign was not mere airy persiha &c,
by any means. Wing Shee was a real
Chinese. He could be seen at work. He
could be heard humming his weird Oriental
melodies.
And IL seemed that the house was a bit
too small for Wing Shee. Therefore, he
placed his tubs and he did his washing
outside. A pleasant sight It was to see
him do II.
And after ths washing comes the hanging
out. So Wing Shee rugged him up two
poles and hung out his wash. And the
garments--and they were Of all kinds-

4 FOOTBALL KNOCKOUT.
Former Yale Player Tells HIS Experience
just q Little Dizziness.

Recent statistics gathered and published
showed that only q small proportion OF
those who play football are hurt in the
game. The game is essentially q hard
and vigorous one and looks more 90 to the
spectator. but there 10 little doubt that
it's dangers have been exaggerated. The
complaint that II Ii too violent . game
comes more from those who know It only
from having read about It. Spectators
at the Harvard-Yale game Of two years
ago last fall will recall that toward the last
Herman p. Oloott, the Yale centre OF that
year. came reeling out Of q scrimmag &c
and sta ggered about like man whose brain

THE main reason, guess. why I was

little experience In big game, which would
be good thing for him the next season.
That's about all there was TO that incl
dent. There was no seeing stars or hearing
birds singing. just little temporary dizzi-
ness. You see, football players when they
are properly coached and handled are In
condition to stand rather hard knocks.
They are tough and hardened and can take
rough usage without being incapacitated.

With all the talk about the roughness OF
football 1t has been nearly ten years since
epec.ators At one Of the big games In the
East have seen players taken from the field
on stretchers. Two Of the players In the
Harvard Yale game Of 1904 had to be carried
from the field. A Harvard man was re-

New York was without the delights Of

learned Il In other cities. The services
Of these BARRIERS were much In demand

There has been no case worthy of
the name of prosecution. Such
prosecutions as have been made are for
the deliberate purpose of making a
showing so that the game wardens
and deputies could say: .See how
we and the law protect the gamep'
The whole effort has been to make as
many as possible pay the license
the abhorrent feature of the law
and not the preservation of game.
Everyone wants to see the fish and
game protected from wanton destruc-
ton. Every citizen, constable or
other officer would voluntarily see
that this is done under the law. We
have no more need or use for game
warden and deputies than we have
for burglar wardens, horsethief
wardens, murder wardens and not
half so much as for gambling ward
ems. The whole game warden scheme
is graft to give political heelers a
job and grab at political pie"
The license game law has accom-
plished what it was intended for, that
is to pull fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars more out of the people for
professional politicians to finger with
their sticky fingers.
