which is quickly followed by a foul by
an Albany man which Allen fails to
throw, as also does Ellis when a Salem
man fouls shortly afterward. Ellis
and Rhodes each make a goal from the
field for their respective teams, fol
lowed by Jones, who makes a long pass
into the basket for two more points
for Albany. Allen then makes two
more goals from the field in quick sue
%eession and time is called, the first
half is ended with the score standing
Is to 10 in favor of s. II. s. The
first half is only Is minutes, but the
second, which, of course, is the hard
est on the wind, has been heightened
to 20 by special agreement.
The first play in the second half is
a brilliant move by Jones; he throws to
the basket, but the ball seems to hest
tate whether to roll into the basket or
out, leaping into the air, Jones man
ages to lightly touch the ball, sending
it into the basket and scoring two for
Salem. G.. Moores makes a field goal;
Albany fouls; Allen makes basket on
the foul; G. Moores makes another goal
from the field; Ellis throws a goal, as
does Allen after a very pretty bit of
team work; he then gets into the game
again and makes another goal. Salem

Moores makes two more field goals in
quick succession; Albany fouls, but AL
len fails to get the basket. @. Moores,
Jones and Allen each make a goal from
the field; Albany fouls and Allen makes
the throw successfully. Allen throws a
goal from the field nearly as soon as
the ball is in play; Salem fouls and
Allen misses the basket. Ellis, Allen
and Rhodes each get a field goal; Sa-
lem fouls and Torbet does not get the
basket. This is the signal for some
hot, fast work, which is interrupted
by the timekeeper's 8. whistle sounding
the end of the game.
The absence of "rag chewing and
''beefing'' was noticeable in this
game, but this is probably explained
by the fact that both officials are
known to be basket ball veterans.

WANTED
TO DIE

John Gilpln created q sensation
last night by announcing that he
was going to commit suicide. He ex-
hibited a bottle said to contain car
bolic acid, and told his friends good
bye. Several of them wished him a
happy journey, and this seemed to cool
the ardor of the festive John, who APP
parently relented. Others took the mat
ter seriously, and t%elephoned for the po-
lice. Before they arrived some one
took the poison away from him, and he
was still alive today. Gilpin was re-
released from the county jail,
where he served a short sentence, and
probably wanted to stir up some sym
pathy more than anything else.

to me to hit the nail on the head:

Valuable Unclaimed Property.

The stories of lost and unclaimed
property form a monumental history
of human carelessness. Equally so, it
would seem, is the story of unclaimed
stolen property. In the Rue des
Ecoles, in Paris, yearly sale takes
place of objects found on thieves and
murderers unclaimed by their owners.
It is. truly surprising that SO many
people refuse to claim what belongs
to them. Among the things on view
the other day were pair of earrings.

and one brooch S240. There were
dozens of diamond rings, splendid gold
watches and chains. and one diamond

SCIENCE NOTES.

The successful producers of rubles,
has concluded that it is not possible
to make artificial emeralds by any pro
cess Of fusing the essential constitu-
onts, and we can expect this peerless
gem only IS supplied by nature.
The longest and largest galloway is
to be constructed on the Argentine
side OF the Andes mountains, to ex-
tend from the Chilecito station of the
Argentine Northern railroad for a
total OF 80 miles. It's termination at
this end will be 1888 feet above sea
level and the engine station that will
be erected at this point of the cable"
way will be the highest in the world
A simple method of nature-printing
is supplied by the ''phystotype" OF an
English inventor. Impressions are
made on white paper of ferns, leaves,
feathers sections Of wood, or other
objects, and these are made visible
as clear and permanent pictures by
the chemical action of a fine powder
that is busted over the paper. The de-
signs may be transferred to litoghaph-
ic stones or aluminium plates. for re-
producing any number of copies.
Addition and other mathematical
processes are performed by labor-sav-
ing machines, and we are next to have
mechanical reasoning. The logic ma
chine Of Prof. c. H. Richer OF the Uni
versity of California, is an improve
!nent on that Of Stanley Jevons, the
English logician. In the circle not
atom of logicians all premises have
separate symbols, and conclusions are
produced by a combination of these
symbols; and on pressing the keys Oh

adding machine-a manipulation OF
circles and electric lights throws into
relief all formulas that are possible
answers to logical questions. The

In their determinations of the erect
of extreme cold on the tenacity and
ductility of iron and it's alloys, Sir
James Dewar and Mr.. R. A. Hadheld
have tested about 500 specimens, in
Guiding practically pure iron, various
cteols and allows with silicon, aluml-
mum, tungsten, chromium, copper, mex
ii ana manganese. After cooling IN
liquid air, pure iron was very brittle,
though much harder. The effect on
hard steel was much the same, but
other alloys had their tenacity in
creased, and nickel alloy especially
was not only toughened but had us
ductility increased 1t was concluded
that while carbon improves iron 1or
practical purposes, nickel is the great
est safeguard against weakening.

THE DOG AND THE BONE.
Hides Il Because of a Mere Shadow of
an Old Race Instinct.

an Olu RSCe lnStllCt.
| have sometimes seen a dog bury
in the ground a bone for which he did
not seem to have any present need.
| have always understood that he did
this on the principle which actuates
a provident man to lay up something
for a rainy day" This may be,
though | have never known a dog to
dig up the bone afterward; yet some
persons tell me they have known i'm
to do this. l should think the dog
must be hard pressed by famine that
would attempt to gnaw bone COW
cred with clay and dirt, as this bone
must be after being buried in the
ground. If the dog hides it away
through any such provident fore
thought as this, it must be the slight
est remnant, mere adumbration of
a former instinct of his race. He does
not pursue this practice in the steady,
methodical way in which an ant or
bee or squirrel lays up stock of
food against a time of need. With
him, it is only a f1tful and rare oc-
currence. His long domestication and
the ages through which he has receiv-
ed his food from the hand of his mas
ter, have obliterated largely the sense
of this necessity from his mind. If
he may be supposed to have a mind.
The fox, when he has had the good
fortune to capture several fowls at the
same time, will, it is said, secrete
such as he has no present need for
under bush or behind log.
remember that in Rowland Robin
sons pleasant book, Sam Lovel's
Boy young fox is represented as do
ing this: He began burying the leg
of lamb in the loose earth, but de-
sisted when he saw the eyes of all his
mates were upon him, then unearthed
the half-buried treasure and sought a
new hiding place" l do not under
stand that the wolf has this food-hid-
ing instinct. Gilbert White of Sell
borne says in his quaint way that he
had some acquaintance with tame
brown OWL which, when full, hid, like
a dog, what he could not eat.
"The origin of most Of our domestic
animals" says Darwin, will probably
forever remain vague. But | may here
state, he continues, that looking to
the domestic dogs of the whole world,
| have after a laborious collection of
all known facts, come to the conclu-
sion that several wild species of
Canidae have been tanned, and that
their blood, in some cases mingled to-
gether, flows in the veins of our DOM
este breeds" He mentions a dog
whose great-grandfather was a wolf,
and this dog still betrayed its wild an
cestry in the fact that it never APP
preached its master in straight line
when called. But which species of the
Canidae from which the dog may have
descended has the food-hiding instinct
or habit | have nowhere seen stated.

GrumbIe-boy and Smiley-boy.

In the Jones house there were two
small boys, Johnnie Grumbleboy and
Johnnie Smiley-boy; but no one ever
saw both at once. At first they hard
ly realized, this little boys father and
mother and Aunt Emma, that there
were two boys; but, when one morn
ing little chap came down to break
fast with a big frown on his face, and
blue eyes that were so cross that they
looked nearly black, and when pleas
ant remarks from the family had no
effect in making the boy look pleas
ant, they were obliged to make up
their mind that a strange little boy
had come to take the place Of their
pet So they treated him with all the
ceremony necessary with stranger,
and pretty soon he found himself
feeling strange and queer.
But he wouldn't tell any one that
he felt strange. Not a bit of it. He
was not that kind of boy. When
he came down feeling that way, why,
everything was wrong. The oatmeal
was too salty, his milk didn't taste
right, and his egg was boiled too
hard; and he just didn't want to wear
his old cap to kindergarten, it wasn't
comfortable at all.
This sort of thing went on for some
time, until Aunt Emma made up her
mind that some remedy must be
thought out. The mornings when

So auntie thought and thought, and
one day, when Johnnie came down,
and it was the Grumble-boy Johnnie
who climbed up to the seat beside ia
ther, he found great change in the
atmosphere of the family table. Usual
" when he came down looking
frowning and sour, and complained
about everything, the kind members
of his family tried to persuade him
by cheerfulness that things were not
SO far wrong as he thought them. But
today it was different.
"This hominy is too hot piped a
small voice.
at is entirely too hot, Aunt Emma
agreed sulkily.
Mines burning my mouth, mother
said sadly.
Mines simply scalding," growled
father.
Grumble-boy looked up surprised,
and for five minutes there wasn't
word said
Then came the boiled egg and toast.
"My eggs too hard" growled Grum-
ble-boy before he thought, just be-
cause he was in the habit Of saying
it when he felt cross.

"And NINE" sobbed mother

growled father.
Grumble-boy could hardly keep from
smiling, it was all SO like the good
old story of Silverlocks and the three
bears; but he'd come downstairs feel
ing cross, and it was his habit to stay
cross.
And then the finish came when some
lovely hot griddle cakes were brought
on. Grumble-boy wanted to complain
just because he felt like it. So, after
he'd poured maple syrup over his cake,
he touched 1t with his fork and grum-

To Get More Heat From Radiator

There are many rooms where the
radiator is either too small or the
steam pressure is too low to maintain
a comfortable temperature in severe
weather. If the tenant is enjoying
the many advantages afforded by CEN
tral-station electric-lighting service
the matter can be easily remedied.
Take the fan that kept you cool all
summer and set it where it can blow
against large part OF the radiators
surface. Turn 1t on at low speed. or
at high if necessary, and your cold
room will soon be thoroughly warmed.
The philosophy of the thing is that
steam at low pressure carries much
less latent heat than steam at a high
pressure, and therefore warns the
radiator SO poorly that only a slight
draft of air rises around the pipes,
and condensation is slow. With the
fan in operation there is a forced
draught against the radiator that con-
ducts great deal more heat away
from the iron, cooling it so that much
more condensation of steam occurs
inside it.-Electric City.
