resulted in a glorious victory for

fallen, declaring they never had
such i'll luck.
Rev. Higgins and his aggrega-
ton Of saints put up a good fight,
but failed to land enough fish.
The saints on their way to the
boat house were sure of an easy
victory and had the sinners
going, but on the count it was
found that the sinners We're 40
points to the good.
About so people participated in
the. contest, and jollier crowd
would be hard to find. The even
ing was highly enjoyed by all.
At the close of the contest the
saints took the back street to the
Presbyterian church to prepare
the supper. The sinners, headed
by Capt. Reynolds, formed in line
and marched in a body to the
church, where the PRESBYTERIAN
ladies had a bounteous spread
prepared. After the supper the
sinners occupied the front seats
in the church, and the chief of
the sinners, Justice Reynolds,
called on a number Of both sides
for speeches. The. speakers on
both sides seemed today all the
blame on Higgins, and it is said
on good authority that he left his
bed as the dawn was breaking
this morning and hied for the
lake so as to get what little con-
ISOLATION there was in a catch this
morning.
About 1920 the party broke
up, voting the contest one of the

A New Machine Gun.

The Danish army has formally
adopted a new machine-gun, which ap.
pears to be most efficient. Its impor-
tant difference from all other machine.
guns is that 1t weighs very little more
than an ordinary rife and can be
carried and operated by one man;
moreover, 1t has no bulky carriage, but
merely requires q tripod stand or a
simple rest. 1t Is possible for a
mounted man to carry the gun and
one thousand rounds Of ammunition,
which can be fired at the rate Of three
hundred rounds per minute, or slower
II desired. The cartridges are not
carried on a belt, as with the Maxim
gun, but are fitted into curved maya
zines, each holding thirty rounds, and
packed side by side into a special
kind Of knapsack. The new machine
gun is also far cheaper than any SINH
lar weapon, and a few mounted men
armed with 1t would prove a most
formidable foe.

Mastodon Remains In New York.

The skeletons Of sixty mastodons
have been found In the state Of New
York distributed along certain well
marked belts, as follows: Thirty-four
In eastern New York from Albany
south through Newburgh; thirteen
from Rochester south through Living.
ston county; two near Chautauqua
lake and two near Ithaca. Outside Of
these belts the state Is barren. 1t
would appear, therefore, that the mas
todons had distinct feeding grounds,
and the remains indicate that the
beasts were living in time not very
remote. Their skeletons are now
usually found resting on the boulders
Of old streams in comparatively thin
layer Of peat. No specimen of the
mammoth has yet been found in the
state. When President Roosevelt, then
governor Of New York, urged that the
mammoth should appear in Its coat
Of arms, 1t was evident that although
q mighty hunter Of existing big game
he was q bit weak in his knowledge
Of extinct types.

Sweeping Rooms by Air.

A New York man has invented an
apparatus that Is designed for sweep.
Ing rooms by air. Not only are floors
renovated In this fashion, but carpets
and rugs and walls and draperies, up
holsteries and ceilings, are all subject
to Its beneficial effects, The cleaning
Is done by passing the nozzle Of a
hose over the object to DO cleaned, a
machine in the cellar drawing the air
and incidentally the dust and dirt
into the hose at a lively rate and
carrying all these accumulations
through smooth Joined two-inch pipes
to the separators In the basement. The
operator runs the nozzle close to the
surface Of the dusty article, and the
dirt Is whisked into the hose by the
strong suction and drawn into the
dust bins below. No dust Is raised,
and the air Of the room Is really i'm
proved by this drain upon 1t. 1t Is
claimed that the floors can be cleaned
quicker and much better than by the
old-fashloned grooming. OF course, at
present the suction renovator Is only
adopted to the larger buildings, the
cost of plant being several thousands
Of dollars, but the time may come
when the glory Of the household broom
will DO forever dimmed. 50
