 liant Affair.

He was de- feated in the championship class tonight. however. by Lord Brilliant, the Wentz entry. Lord Brilliant has won the cham pionship four years in succession.

WILL USE CAGES.
Some Predictions Made Concerning the
 Future Aerial Traveller.

Berlin. November 2-Future aerial navigators desiring to attain great alti- tudes will use dramatically sealed double walled aluminium and glass cages and be- fore starting will put on oxygen masks according to a prediction of Dr. Herman von Schroetter of Vienna, in a lecture before the Berlin Society of Aerial Navi- gation
 Dr. Ven Schroetter maintains that phys iologici disturbances in the upper atmos phere are due solely to lack of oxygen and he advised an early recourse as to oxygen inspiration before the bad effects of the poorer atmosphere are percepti- b1e, calculating that the lungs receive less oxygen from pure oxygen in an air ship at a height of 14 ldlometers than from air at the surface. owing to dlmin- ished pressure and 50 per cent less at l9 kiometers, which necessitates inspiration under pressure. But this pressure is available only under certain restrictions, owing to disturbances of the blood, hence the prediction ms 1e by Dr. Non Schroet- tor.

Harvard Struggles BraVe|y But Her Defense Weakens When
 Strength is Needed
WHILE NOT SPECTACULAR
 GAME IS VERY EXCITING
When Within Six Inches of the Goal Harvard is Unable to Overcome the Stout Defense of the
 Vale Eleven.

Cambridge Mass, November 21.-Har- yard struggled bravely against Yale to- day in their annual football match. but was defeated by a score of 16 to 0, prin- cipally because her offense weakened and Yale's defense grew stronger as the crim- son players were within striking dis tance of the Yale goal.
 Nearly 10000 persons attended the game, and while 1t was not as spectacular as that between Princeton and Yale. at New Haven a week ago. better football was played. and for the first half and for several minutes in the second. the score was small enough to make the result uncertain. In fact, after Harvard had shown sufficient speed to get twice inside Yales 5-yard line in the first half. her supporters were well nigh convinced that the team would not only score, but win the game. The Yale defense proved too strong, however, and backed by 15,- coo voices who yelled, Hold 'eml Hold em! the blue stood firm beneath it's own goal bar twice capturing the ball there on downs and in the third instance, taking advantage of a tumble by liar yard players. In the second half, EIar- yard got within six inches of the Yale goal and yet could not score.
 Defeat Bitter.
 The defeat under these circumstances was exceedingly bitter for the einisoa. as the fast play of the team beyond tho Yale 10 and 14-yard lines surprised the Harvard supporters and proved ono of | the features of the game
 There was some fumbling and several blocked k'cks, one of the Yale scores be- ing directly due to the latter. There were several end runs for 15 and 9 yards. but as a rule the play especially so far as Harvard was concerned. was a. series of fierce line plunges for short runs for one, two and three yards.
 The kicking was below the average, especially on Harvard's rart, and was a great disappointment to the crimson supporters.
 Mitchell for Yale covered 39S yards on fl kicks while Lemoyne and Nichols of Harvard covered 22O yards on eight kicks.
 In rushing, Harvard had slightly the better of it, gaining 213 yards on 6S rushes while Yale made 130 yards on 47 rushes. Yale ran back kicks for 43 yards and Har- yard tor 102 yards. Yale had eight first downs and Harvard twenty. Yale was penalized six times for 65 yards, and Harvard three times for 40 yards.

Poverty of Wealth.
From the Nashville American

FROM the Nashville American,
There are many poor men who once nos
sessed wealth they were unable to keen
There are many other poor men who have
never known the burden or the blessings Of
wealth. Some men cannot stand prosperity
II half the people were rich and half were
poor there would be more happiness among
the latter. 1t is beyond the capacity of
some people to enjoy wealth. There are
possessors of wealth who have no concep-
ton of the blessings of riches Gold cannot
refine selfish or swinish nature Saws
writer whose name we are unable to recall.
"A fool and his money are soon parted )"
As a matter of fact, they never get To-
gether. When man Is unable to make usa
or wealth he does not possess It, although
the title deeds may be in his keeping The
spectacle he presents as he stands helpless
IN the presence of coined symbols that
might mean everything to another but that
mean nothing to him, is as grotesque or
piuful as that of the vandal horde wander
ing stupidity amid the palaces and statues
or old Rome, attracted by nothing Devil
dered by everything, DULY. resentful at the
suggestions of an enjoyment beyond their
understanding. In neither case does a man
make a very dignified figure whether he
frankly confesses that wealth Is a worls
he cannot enter or whether he enters IL n,
the fashion Of Coal Oil Johnny-tossing
bank notes right and left, wal1owing in
coarse Indulgence. missing altogether the
significance to himself and to others that
an unlimited command OF resources has for
the man who understands them.

Keep up their song, the leader of each gang

of the factory is sold to jCtbers and whole

Every year the peanut crop Is becoming
mere valuable, and while almost all
Americans are peanut fiends, 1t Is evident
that the time is coming when great inroads
will be made on the output Of their favorite
nut by it's utilization for other purposes.
Millions of bushels are now being annually
used in the old world for the production of
oil, which Is regarded as equal to olive oil.
Peanut Oil has an agreeable taste and is
more limpid than olive oil. Already the
manufacturers of peanut oil in this coun-
try, and especially in Tennessee, have an
noCpced that the only drawback to the oil
mills of this country Is an insufficient SUD-
ply of peanuts. Much of the peanut oil is
now sold as olive OIL and consumers have
been unable to detect the difference. Dur
ing the years 1S61-1S65 peanut oil was
largely manufactured in the southern
states, and was used as lubricant for loco
motives, for machinery In cotton mills, and
the housewives were glad to get it to take
the place of lard. The meal or cake after
the oil had been pressed out was largely
used as food, and was found healthy and
palatable. 1t made excellent bread. soup,
and griddle cakes, and largely took the
place of wheat flour. This meal or cake ia

Hogs are turned into the fields as soon as
the crop Is harvested, and the nuts left in
the ground furnish sufficient food to last
almost the entire winter. The 'srazor-
backs get down to business when thew
get hungry and with their long shouts
turn up and over the ground, finding the
nuts where they had been pulled from the
