The United States coast survey Off

tower on Todt Hill, about 400 yards

the highest point on Staten Island, says

ground has been cleared for the foun-
dation
The value OF this particular spot as
lookout or signal station was known
to the Aquehonga as well as other
tribes Of Indians prior to the advent Of
civilization ia the new world. Within
the memory of very old citizens Of
Staten Island there stood a giant oak
tree near the spot now being prepared
for the tower which the Indians used
TO signal with friends and, according to
the custom Of the aborigines, ascend to
the highest possible point to petition
the sun god to receive the spirit Of a
faithful departed warrior.

Hooker ball' is quite the latest
product in the way Of parlor games,
says the London Chronicle. It's inyen-
tor claims that it win shortly sweep
the world clear of all that remains Of
pingpong. The new game is suitable
for either summer or winter, great
advantage being that 1t can be played
sitting down by either four, six OF
eight players Each Of these has his
own particular court TO play in-the
table is divided by tapes into as many
courts as there are players from
which he endeavors to pass Or to
shoot goals. A neutral territory is
provided, from which players can ell
Their pass 70 each other or endeavor TO
get the ball into their own courts,
where fntruders are not permitted. At
each end Of the table a goal is kept in
the orthodox fashion, and the game Is
played with miniature hockey sticks,
being, to all intents and purposes, table
hockey.

dispatch.
Crosses, circles and the pictures Of

are believed by the police to be the
principal characters of this strange

suspected Of having committed bur

friends to secure their release.
Beneath the windows there were
crosses written with chalk and pencil

made by the thieves, and investigation
was made Of other windows through
which an attempt was made to gain
entrance into the house a month ago
Beneath them were signs similar to
those found in the rear.
The meaning of the mark, the police
believe, Is that no entrance can be oh,

the police found an arrow pointing to

door that burglars entered the hous,
two months ago. This arrow, in TIL
opinion Of the police, means that til
