NEW FOOTBALL ARWOR.
Vale Squad VIII BE Busy This Summer De-
yisIng n Substitute for Leather.

New HAVEN, July 1S.Mike Murphy.
Yale's trainer is at work devising some
new headgear for the Yale football squad
the coming fall, to take the place Of the old
leather head guard which the new Yale
Harvard rules has barred from the game
According to the new rule, no heavy guard
Of any kind can be used by the players
with the single exception of tho shoulder
guards. The old-time leather straps will
be retained, but the copper shin guards,
the padded leather breast guard and the
old headgear have been called in. The
Yale trainer. as we'll as many of the can
didates for next years varsity eleven,
will spend the summer planning for head
gear that will furnish protection to the
players head and yet be soft enough to
he allowable under the new rules
There will be twenty or more different
head arrangements said Mr.. Murphy
to-day. ready for us to try the LIST Of
September. when the men come back to
Yale who are to try for the football team.
Every one Of us interested in football is
trying 10 solve the problem and get some-
thing pliable and yet which will offer suffi-
Gent protection to the men. There ought,
under the circumstances, TO be good as
sortment of headgear from which to select
just the one we need.
All kinds Of material that is suitable to
the purpose will be used Leather, of course,
is debarred because il is too hard, and the
oldtime head guards were too rough.
My idea is that something can be devised
from felt that will answer the purpose
Felt is good protector and is not too hard
for Use According to the old style man
with one Of these head riggings could in
flict an awful blow by jumping into the
game and it is much better for all the players
to have that cut out Rubber head guards
may be tried. The coaches will try what
seems hest adapted and then go to work
TO improve on it. We hope to have suitable
uniform throughout by the time the squad
is called out to practise. Heretofore the
football candidates have worn copper plates
with padding as covering on their legs
to protect them. That kind of guard is
not allowed under the new regulations
The new one will have TO be of less dangerous
material, probably thick padding Of felt

HOME OF THE GAYETY GIRL.
Noteworthy HlstOry or the London Theatre
That Has Just Been Closed.

The Gaiety Theatre in London, which has
Just ended prosperous existence Of thirty
five years, is interesting to New Workers.
as the home Of the original -Gaiety girl"
who added so much to the joy of living
here and in other American cities.
Other incidents in the career OF the
theatre that make it interesting to Ameri-
cans were the first English appearances
there of ". J. Florence and his wife, of
Henry +. Dixey. Nat Goodwin and John T.
Raymond.
The theatre was opened on Dec. 81. 1858,
on the site Of the old Strand Music Hall.
In the earlier years of the theatres exist
cnce the programmes were not wholly
confined to burlesque and some of tho
actors who appeared there then we're Henry
Irving, John l.. Toolc, Adelaide Nelson
Henry Neville and Madge Robertson.
Burlesque soon became the regular
policy of the theatre, although dramas
were occasionally acted, and the Com"die
Franchise company made its only appear
ance in England at this theatre, John
Holingshead was the manager OF the
theatre until 1885, and it must he said that
during the season of burlcsque there the
institution was no credit TO the drama.
Men about town in London, decrepit

the performance. The pretty women IN
the chorus paid little or no attention to
their work, left during the performance
if they were so inclined and We're said 10
ignore for months az a time the envelopes
containing their salaries.
II. j. Byron and F. G.. Bunand supplied
most of the burlesaues in those days. Nellie
Farren. Arthur Roberts, Fred Leslie, Kate
Vaughn, Phyllis Broughon. Lofty Lind.
+. J. Lonnen. Florence ~. John. Sylvia
Grey, John Monkhousc and Marion Hood
were some of the artists who took part
in these performances Kate Vaughn,
who died year ago, was the inventor Of
the skirt dance which was for a long time
identified with the Gaiety's productions.
George Edwarces, the manager of the
theatre until its close, changed the regime
established by Hollingshead and made the
Gaiety as respectable a. any playhouse
in London. He made burlesques the prin-
cipal feature, but foreign actors also played
there. Augustin Dslv's company appeared
at the Gaiety for several seasons
The Gaiety knew few failures ard during
the last decade Of rs existence any mus
ical farce produced there was sure to run
at least a half year

GAMES WITH THE JOSS STICK,
Porch Fireworks In the Country and
New and Tender TeIegraphy.

Take an observation of suburban veran-
! das any dark night and you will find That
the joss stick is playing more than useful
part In summertime economy.
This being the great mosquito year. joss
had to be b,:rned, Of course. to keep the
euler punaens and the euler soiiicitans
they're just plain mosquitoes-out OF
the apertures Of peekaboo waists and shoofiy
stockings. That was the utility of it. Now
for something else
Young folks assembled on country
porches soon saw that the timber joss stick,
waved lightly in the air, would Of itself trace
fantastic patterns Of fire. BY experimenting
they found that even one person with Joss
stick in each hand could perform wonders
of weaving with the burning points. and
three or four persons, cooperating, could
achieve surprisingly beautiful results. The
effect, Of course, is most pleasing to those
who sit at a distance.
Down in Bensonhurst they call this di-
version porch fireworks.
There's another game they play that has
been named joss conversation-only most
of the boys and girls say Josh and usually
the mispronunciation is not without its
application.
joss conversation consists in writing in
the air with the bit of fire something for
your companion on the veranda to decipher.
If it's only short word or If it's word
with plenty of loops and hooks almost any
person can make it out But longer words
and sentences require practised reader.
For example, when the pretty daughter
of public man wrote the other night THE
hammock on tho other side Is empty the
Young man who was expected to read it
didn't, but another fellow did-and acted
on the hint.
SO you see it's good game for none but
the brave and the fair and the nimble
witted.

THE BOX CATCHER
Wears Gloves, Like the Ball Player, but
with a Little Different Purpose.

Ball players are not the only men who
wear gloves for the protection of their
hands in catching. The men who receive
from the box factory the empty packing
boxes are very likely to wear gloves, too,
in catching the boxes as they are thrown
to them.
truckload Of such boxes is backed up
to the curb and unloaded by throwing
the boxes from the truck to the building,
across the sidewalk.
In catching a load OF small wooden boxes
the catcher may have hundreds to catch,
one after another, right along in a stretch
the mere catching of so many is quite a
feat--and gloves are a good thing to wear
in the work. But as the boxes are tossed
at him, easily, not violently thrown, the
box catcher does not, like the ball player,
wear padded gloves TO protect himself from
impact and shock, but just good, stout
buckskin gloves to protect his hands from
being cut by box corners or torn by nail
heads and by slivers

CAPTIVE AMONG THE MOORS.
Experience OF the London "Timea's" Cor
respondent Captured by Brisands.

Walter B. Harris. the correspondent OF
the London Times in Morocco, after three
weeks of very unpleasant captivity among
the brigands in northern Morocco, has st
last been permitted TO rejoin his friends
Being white man he WAS regarded Nv
very valuable captive and his release was
obtained only by the exchange of sixteen
men who had been captured from the tribe
that held him a prisoner.
The natives who caught Harris are among
the mountaineers who have never admitted
the right of the Sultan Of Morocco to inn
pose taxes upon them: and Of course they
are part and parcel Of the rebels who have
recently been making so much trouble
for the Moroccan Government. They did
not exert themselves to make their white
captive enjoy his short stay among them.
For nine days he was unable to wash or
change his clothing, for thirty-six hours
he was left in solitude with nothing 10 eat
and for several days headless corps"
occupied the room in which he was con-
fined and it was minated TO him that his
physical appearance would soon resemble
that of the hapess victim Of the hrgands
whose remains he saw before him,
Harris, however, lives to tell the story
Of his captivity, and it will doubt less make
good newspaper reading. No other whit"
man in Morocco has in recent wears ha"
50 many interesting stories 10 tell OF Ms
personal adventures as Harris.
He first brought himself into notice
few wears ago by his vcnturcsome journey
in disguise to the chief town Of one OF IN"
fanatical mountain tribes. who would nave
killed him without any prcllninarleS u
they had suspected thai he was White

Al that time he knew no Arabic MOI any
OF the native tongues, and though N'' rN'n
was stained to the proper Moroccan l!'N'
and the native costume sat well upon nhn
he would not have been able TO travel
mile among the mountains il he had uoI
pretended TO be deaf mute. h" had WIN

When approaching the town which 30
white man had ever entered hc passed
two men ON foot, Who decided thar he wa

same place few hours after Harris a
rival they LOST no time in spreading 'h'

Some say that Archlmedes mnde the
first wheel clock as early as 200 Il. c.,
says the London Electrical Age. 9th
ers give credit TO Wallingford, who
lived 80 late az the beginning Of the
fourteenth century. But the most per
feet water clocks were, long before the
latter period, furnished with wheels, no
that the only improvement was the
substitution Of solid body TO act az
a moving weight instead OF water. II
Ii not to be wondered at that the ap-
plicatiOn OF weight to clocks ns n
moving power should attract 10 little
attention, as water and sand were un.
doubleday thought more convenient by
contemporary writer's. The oldest com
plete clock moved by weights Ia prob
ably that sent by the sultan of Turkey
to Frederick II. IN 1882. In the thir-
teenth century many Of the church
steeples In italy were furnished with
clocks moved by weights, which struck
the hours. Hele OF Nuremberg IL sup
posed to have constructed the first
watch IN 1900, and TO him must also be
given the credit OF tho spring clock.
The fusee was probably invented in
England about the end OF the sixteenth
century. But It was not until the mid.
die OF the seventeenth century that the
pendulum was first applied to clocks
by Huyghens.

Machinery Can DO No wrong.


The machine by which railway tick
cts are printed gives very amusing
little show OF intelligence, or what
looks to be very like It. Railway tick
cts are not, ms might be supposed,
printed In large sheets and afterward
cut up.
The cardboard Is cut into tickets first
and printed one by one afterward. The
little blank cards are put In pile In n
kind OF perpendicular spout, and the
machine slips a bit OF metal under
meath the bottom Of the spout and
pushes out the lowest ticket In the pile
to be printed and consecutlvely num-
bered.
at Is no use trying to print a bad
ticket" says the attendant. "The ma.
chine finds out an imperfect blank In
an instant and fatty refuses to have
anything TO do with II. Look here"
He tears off the corner OF one of the
bits of card and puts It into the spout
with the others, and you watch to see
what happens.
one by one the blank cards are
pushed out to the printing part Of the
mechanism with swiftness and preci-
sion until the mutllated ticket gets to
the bottom and tries to smuggle
through.
on the instant the machine stops
dead ana refuses to bulge again until
somebody comes and removes the i'm
poster.
Pull out the damaged ticket, and the
mechanism will set brlskly to work
again.--Chambers journal.
