To Modify Foot Ball.

A New York dispatch of Feb'y
ith says a number Of leading
educators have taken up the
question of modifying the rules
OF foot ball, and there is strong
probability that something will
be done along this line-especial-
iy as public sentiment demand
ing 1T is growing stronger every
year. A petition has been pre-
sented to the intercollegiate
loot ball rule committe asking
Tor such action. The petition is
signed by seventy head masters
OF schools, representative of all
the states. The committees re-
port upon which the petition
was based says:
I'VE wish to express in en-
phatic terms ourjudgment based
on experience that football as at
present played is too severe and
100 dangerous and our belief is
1t Us possible by a modification
OF the rules to develop a style of
football thai will retain the
unique and characteristic adj
Vantages OF the present game
without the most serious attend
ant evils.

A full pardon has been grant.
ed to Cole Younger, by the Min.
nesota Board of Pardons. He
is the last of the gang Of robbers
and murderers known as the
Younger Bros. who terrorized
the west 27 years ago. He
spent % years in the Minnesota
state penetentiary, and his con-
duct has been so good, that the
state finally gave him his free
dom, on condition that he would
never exhibit himself for a mon
ey consideration. That was a
wise proviso of the board, as no
possible benefit could acrue by
satisfying the mol bid curiosity
of any one.

Why the Sky Is Blue.

At a recent annual congress of the Swiss Society of National Sciences, held at Berne, new and interesting theory as to the orgin of the appear ance of the higher atmosphere, which is popularly styled a sthe "blue sky" was advanced by M. Spring, a well. known scientist of Liege. Hitherto the azure tint has been supposed to be due to the refraction of light upon minute corpuscles disseminated in the air. M. Spring, however, has con- ceived new explanation of the phe- nomenon.
 He has carried out number of ex- periments with luminous rays under almost all conceivable conditions, in- jecting them into agitated solutions, and into a glass tube, containing pseudo solutions, such as chloride of aluminium, of absolute limpidity: but although he could obtain red, yellow, viloet, etc., under no circumstances could he obtain blue, until by the use of electricity he secured perfectly pure atmosphere in which blue was clearly discernible. NJ. Spring, there fore, concludes that the blue sky is purely electrical in origin, and is an essential quality of the air.-Scienti- fic American.

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it may be of some help to consider the matter. If the cause is something over which you have no control it is obvi- ous that worrying will not help mat ters the least. On the other hand, if within your control you have 9hly to act. When you have cold ahd fear an attack of pneumonia, buy/a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and use it judiciously and all cause for worry as to the outcome quickly dis appear. There is no danger of pneu- monia when it is used. For sale by Pioneer Drug Store.

SIX SMOTHER TO DEATH.
Accidental Asphyxiations in Different
Parts of San Francisco.

San Francisco. Dec. 22.-Six per-
sons were asphyxiated by gas Sunday
night, and the coroner concluded that
the cases were all accidental. In most
instances a window was open in each
room in which gas was escaping and
the coroner called the attention to the
fact that it is popularity supposed a
fatal result can not ensue where fresh
air also has entrance.
John Lundin, a railway foreman, and
Percy Nelson, laborer, were asphyx-
lated in Sacramento street lodging
house. They were to have started for
Los Angeles this morning. James Ty-
son, aged 70 years, and formerly a
miner, died at 2728 Howard street. A
rubber tube attached to a gas stove
had rotted and allowed the fluid to
escape. Miss Jennie Crowley, laun-
dress, rooming at 626 Golden Gate ave-
nue., was found in her room in COM
atose state and died at the hospital.
T. Kawabata and l. Murakami, Japan
ese fishermen, who had just arrived
from Honolulu were found dead in a
lodging house.

ment-Has Assumed Defiant Atti-
tude-London Worried-crlsls Soon
to Come In Japan.

London, Dec. 22.-Reuter's Tele.
gram company has learned that much
anxiety is felt regarding the posi-
Die outcome of the situation in the far
east. Fears are expressed that Rus
sia may have overstepped the bounds
which would make peaceable negotia-
ions with Japan possible.
Apart from the delicate state of tbe
negotiations between the two nations,
reuters says 1t is also known that
RUSSIA is assuming a more defiant at.
eitude and the outlook may be regard
ed as more gloomy than it hitherto has
been, although it can not be said that
tne resources of diplomacy have been
completely exhausted.
The statement concludes by saving
that there is as yet no actual news of
fresh developments and that no ulti.
matum Eas been sent by japan to Rms
STA.
Pekin Feels the Crisis.
Pekin, Dec. zz.-While no news has
peen received at the Japanese lega-
ton tina. Japan has sent an ultimatum
10 Russia, it is recognized at the lega-
ton thai grave crisis is approaching.
Major General Yamani, the Japanese
military attache, and the Japanese col
onel who has been instructing General
Yuan Shat Kais troops, have both
started for Japan.
The native press recently reiterated
circumstantial story to the effect
that in the event of Manchuria being
retained by Russia it was the inten-
ton OF Great Britain to establish a
protectorate over the Yangtse valley
as compensation and to appoint a vice.
roy therein, so that her prestige in
the far east would be equal to Russia's.
Some native papers give Wal Wal HUI
of the Chinese foreign board as author
ity for the story. The fiction is largely
credited and gravely discussed and is
creating hostility against Great Brit
ain. 1t is suspected that the story has
been fostered by unfriendly agencies
appointed for the purpose and the Brit
ish legation is investigating it's origin.
No UItimatum as Yet.
Pekin, Dec. 22.-While the knowl-
edge of the legations on the situation
leads to the belief that the sending of
an ultimatum is improbable, the pros.
poets of war are evidently increasing
The British legation some days ago
received a telegram indicating that
war was possible, and the Japanese
legation is informed that Russia's re.
cent reply to the japanese proposals
was unsatisfactory.
