vention shown in the picture has been
designed. A set of sheet iron shoes
is provided, with steel runners, and
perforated at intervals for the inser
tion Of bolts. When there is fall
of snow the driver has only to put the
shoes on the wheels and bolt them In
position. and he is ready for a sleigh
ride, with no worry over what the fu-
turc state of the weather may be.
The shoes are light enough to be
carried in the wagon when not in use,
and should prove a great convenience
to the man who has to drive every
day.
The patentces are Samuel J. and
John D. Phillips of New York city.

1t was due, which lasted until spring;

cold weather and good sleighins for
weeks in succession, But whether 1t

sleighing and skating are soon de-

some portions of this country this is
not the case, and when farmer or
teamster puts up his wagons and gets
out his sleighs for the first snow he
has fairly good assurance that he Will

hour when there is plenty of time for
repairs. The accident is not to be
wondered at, when it is remembered
that the lacing hook has two sharp
edges over which the string is drawn
at sharp angle, and the movement
of the foot saws the lace over these
edges at every step. A simple but
effective arrangement to prevent this
wear is that shown in the picture,
consisting of series of fattened
rings, which are secured to the hooks
in place of the laces themselves. The
latter are inserted in the rings, which,
having no sharp edges, and present.
ing only a rounded surface in contact
with the string. wears the latter very
little, if any. 1t is probably no more
difficult to lace the shoe with these
rings than in the old manner, and a
decrease in the number of broken
strings is sure to follow.
The inventor is George ". Johnston
of Dorchester, Mass.

Artificial and Real Pearls,

A report from the Osaka Japan
exposition, published in European pa
pers, says Japanese has devised a
plan for the artificial production of
pearls. His method is to put a grain
of sand or foreign substance forcibly
into pearl oysters, which he after.
wards puts back in the beds. In this
way he gets pearls so like natural
pearls that connOisseurs cannot tell
them apart. 1t would be strange,
thinks one writer, if they could, for
the method employed by the japanese
is the one employed by nature. 1t is
a wcll-known fact that pearls are pro-
duced by grain of sand or some
other foreign substance falling into
the open oyster and being covered by
the same substance as the interior of
the shell. The pearls thus produced
are being sold so chcaply that fear
is gaining ground that they may af
feet the market for real pearls
that is, pearls produced by accidents
to the oysters rather than by the ef-
forts of man. The artificial" pearls
are being put to exactly the same
uses as the real ones.

Preservation of Potatoes.

II is reported that German has
maGe the discovery that by means Of a
chemica! preparation being poured
over potatoes they may be kept in a
condition OF preservation for years
If this is true it will be of the utmost
importance to all countries, enabling
them no only to keep on hand a large
stock of POTATOES for their armies, and
thus better preparing them for some
unforeseen war, but in times of great
abundance the potatoes could be pre-.
served for the benefit of the poor in

FOOT BALL LOSSES.
Summary of Dead and Wounded Of the
Last Camp align.

A Chicago dispatch says that nine
teen lives were lost on the foot ball
field during tne season of 1903. One
boy was driven insane from injuries.
Thirteen players We're disabled, some
of them being disabled for life. The
number Of minor but painful accidents
goes into the hundreds and the list
of the severely injured is also Ieces-
sarily incomplete.
The feature of the years tabuia,ton
Is that it shows serious casualties
were practically confined to unframed
players. No member OF any OF the
first-class elevens was killed or perma-
nently disabled. One Yale player and
one Harvard player suffered broken
leg. No player in any Of the teams
Of the Big Nine" in the West was
the victim OF any hurt worse than a
wrenched shoulder, bruised head,
a sprained knee or a turned ankle. y
In consequence Of the injuries s,ls-
tanned by their players several OF the
minor schools have FORBIDDEN the game
of foot ball. Two towns-Columbus
Junction, Pennsylvania, and Greenfield.
Ohio-have stopped the sport as the
result Of petitions circulated by par

Acting upon the principle that fish
