The Eerncitx of Football.

Finely Peter Dunno, In Golfers,
The game Of football long ago ceased
to be a form Of healthful recreation.
At present IT is a cource of unwhole-
some rivalry to the students and a
spectacle of uncivilized ferocity to the
general public. Merely as a spectacle 1t
peal to a healthy love Of sport. If the
spectator We're Of the depth
and intensity OF the rivalry it 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 its effect beyond the walls OF the
university. Rugby football will always
be played by small colleges and Schools
as 1t Is played in the great universities.
Harvard n Yale practically dictate
the ruIes for the country. If they play
fiercely, encourage crushing forma-
%tions," n 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 Kill a
half grown youth. The rushing that
knocks the breath out of a Harvard
center may knock the life out Of a 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
choolS 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
err 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 q new light on the In
cident, and one who talked with the ad-
miral soon after that battle is authority
for the following veracious account:
Admiral Dewey never gave the order
in those words at least. The utterance
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
after the last shot had been fired and
the Spanish power In the Pacific was a
thing OF the past the newspaper corre-
spundents gathered about the admiral as
is the custom on such occasions to get
the facts for their dispatches. The adj
miral told briefly everything that had
taken place, m when he had finished
his recital the group fell to discussing the
events of the day. Finally one Of them
reminded the admiral that ii was Gus
tomary for some famou utterance to be
handed down from every important en-.
gagement in history; some terse, briei
expression characteristic of the man who
led his forces to victory.
Didn't you make some utterance OF
give some order during the fight thai
we can use in this connection? asked
one of the newspaper men. No. replied
the commander-in-chief, nothing in par
ticular that l recollect.'
"'Well, didn't you give some direction
of some sort that can be used in tina
way?' No. replied Dewey, nothing
that's noteworthy Well, what did yol
say when you ordered the fray to begin?

The Forspauah-se Sells Circus Wants an
Understudy for Diavolo.


Understudy for Dlavolo.
Kansas City Stars I'VE wish there
was more than n man In this wide
world who could successfully perform
that loop act" said James DeWolfe,
one of the Forepaugh-Sells representa-
tives, who arrived in own yesterday.
You see, this man Diavolo Is going to
get hurt sooner or later. He realizes It
and we realize II. The requirements
for the successful accomplishment Of
his feat are so exact that the slightest
deviation means an a~ccident-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, if Diavolo does make q slip, It's all
off with the act until we find some one.
And the pay Is not bad, either. 1000 O.
week-the time to earn II, 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 a O roller to drag
an insurance agent near you after you
signed the contract.
1.-The basis Of the act Is the opposition
of the two forces, velocity and gravity.
To make the act possible the velocity
u be sufficient to exert q quantity
of centrifugal force great enough to
overcome the natural force OF gravita-
ton. In other words, 1t can be mathe-
matically proved hat an unobstructed,
freely moving spherical body weighing
225 pounds, moving over q space OF lilo
lineal feet at an angle of As degrees,
will generate sufficient velocity to car
ry 1t almost perpendicularly 23H feet.
And there you have 1t. The man
weighs $50 pounds, the bicycle 65
pounds: total, 225 pounds. The runway
is 10 feet long, pitched at an angle Of
As degrees, and the loop proper is 231a
feet in diameter. But then that simply
proves the act possible-the trick is to
do it. Diavolo does 1t twice daily, and
when you see 1t you opinion will be
that It's the greatest hair-raising DEM
onstration of pure, unadulterated dare
deviltry that American ingenuity has
yet conceived"

BUILT AS THE CROW FLIES.
The New Transformation Railway Will
Span the Continent.

Z. r. d. Chambers, in the Review of
Reviews: The proposed line of the
Trans-Canada railway is n of The
most direct which can span the CONT
nent. Starting from deep water ter
mini at Chicoutimi-the head of navi-
cation on the Saguenay river-at Que
bee, and at Montreal, it 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 the
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 in the mountains only 1000
feet high, as compared with 4,425 at
Crows Nest and with $40 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
It's far northern location.
From Quebec to Port Simpson via
the Trans-Canadian railway viii be
only $3.50 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
cifc railway is 3,07S miles. The expect
ed 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
undertaken to carry wheat from all
points on it's 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 Z cents
per bushel on present cos OF transpor-
tation to the seaboard. 1t is claimed
that this saving alone will much more
than pay the@total interest upon the
cost OF the roads construction.
