perplexed over the wonderful frozen

as ls2s Il was announced that the
ground was frozen 20 an abnormal

summer u 1920 a Russian merchant
set a gang of men 10 the task OF ascer-
tanning the depth Of the frozen stratum.
They gave up the Job after digging
some thirty feet IN solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy Of Sci
ences took the matter In hand and be
tween 1888 and 1874 dug to depth OF
3s2 feet and then abandoned the shaft
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as n rock. Natural cold could new

phenomenon IL stlll unexplained.

ABOUT OLD MEXICO.
{. A. Harris Writes the Eagle an En-.
tertsining Letter from Brownsville.


Brownsville. Tex, Oct. Is, '05.
Editors Bryan Eagle:
Possibly some Of your many
readers would like 10 hear the ex.
perience had in old Monterey,
Mexico. Saturday was Fiesta
Day" there, and at an early hour
all the pretty "senoritas," boys,
women and old men donned their
Sunday toys, all waiting eagerly
for the fun to begin. There are
two plazas, which were decorated
in the usual fashion. and on all
sides flowers in full bloom as il il
was May instead Of the
last Of October; music on all
sfdcs, and everyone seemed bent
on getting as much fun out Of the
day as possible. Here and there
groups Of Mexicans were gamb.
ling. This is permissible there in
the open.
After viewing the crowd Of
merry Mexicans until we got
tired, with Mr.. Hargrayes, who
spoke Spanish auently, we con-
cluded 10 visit the old Mexican
burial grounds, and as Monterey
at one time had $4,000 inhab.
itsnts. this was quite a place. The
lots are owned and rented by the
state, and when the family Of a
dead Mexican can no longer pay
this rent, the corpse is dug up and
thrown on the pile Of old dry hu.
man bones. This pile of human
bones is at least twelve feet high,
and skeleton feet, hands and grin.
ming skulls are peeping at you
from all sides of the CHASTITY heap.
Well, we next went to the bull
fight, and what sight The poor
horses are blindfolded and the
"matador," or rider, dashes at the
bulls waving red flag, and the
man who fights the bull will stick
a "banadera" or javelin in its
shoulders, which has a tassel like
ball on the end of il made Of COL
ored tissue paper, until the brute
is covered with these many coll
ored tassels aud blood streaming
from dozens Of wounds. Ii makes
many desperate dashes at horse
and man and finally gores one
poor old horse wide open. Then
the real work is at hand. The
man now jumps before the mad
animal waving little red hand.
kerchief right in its eyes. 1t
plunges and dashes at the fighter,
but he nimbly jumps aside. At
last both being tired, the man
slowly walks up squarely in front
of the bull and, making a quick
leap, plunges his short sword into
iis brain aud the fight is over.
Before returning TO Brownsville
we went to an old Mexican mis-
sion, which was simply grand in
side with its silver and gold
ornaments, candlesticks, etc. Then
! noticed how narrow the streets
were-only about thirty feet, and
the sidewalks about four feet
wide-hardly room enough for
two 10 walk The houses are all
iron barred and il looks like
city of jails. A great many adobe,
or mud houses, can be seen GOV.
cred with grass, and this covering
lasts as long as the house lasts.
Well, the crowd at the hotel are
all going TO the fandango and are
calling for me TO come in, so will
close.
Yours truly,
G. A. HARRIS.

RUTGERS PLAYS N. Y. U. TODAY.

New-York University will line up against Rutgers
on Ohio Field to-day. The home team went
through a light signal drill yesterday. in which
Captain Cragin took part. This was the most en-
eouraging feature of the practice, New York
has been without the services of captain since
he was injured In the Wesleyan game more than
two weeks ago. He will start the game to-day at
fuIlback but will probably not play the game out.
Two hundred and fifty students were hand
yesterday to cheer the team in its work, and new
songs and cheers were practised for more than an
hour There is full confidence in the ability of the
team to break its losing streak. which has been

taken three hundred tickets for the game, and
probably many of the New-B Brunswick teams

The game has been annual fixture since 1900
when New-York by of to D. In 1901
and 1862 NewYork was also victorious by scores
of 16 and q but in 1903 Rutgers turned the
tables and squeezed victory by the of

in winning by of 50 to g. The confidence of
the Rutgers supporters this year is based upon
the fact that their team beat Stevens in an early
season game, while that team beat NewYOrk de-
cisivey two weeks ago But the Newly orkers
point that Trinity beat Rutgers IL to 0, while
the Newly York- Trinity game a tie.
The NeW-York team will probably line up fol-

Columbia ELeUen Resting After Sat
mday's Hard Game 7Cith Yale.

The Columbia football team rested yesterday
efter the severe struggle of last Saturday, in which
every the team more or less bruised.
Neither the men or the coaches wouldIsalk about
the overwhelming defeat at the hands OF Yale
About the college grounds general feeling OF
gloom prevails. All the confidence that was felt
after the Princeton game that the team would wind
up the season successfully disappeared when the
scorer hung up the figures SO Now the sentiment
is strong that unless something is done at once TO
strengthen the team the hopes of defeating Cornell
and Pennsylvania are slight The one encouraging
fact is that neither of these teams able TO win
from smaller colleges on Saturday It is fully real
lied that Columbia defeated because the eleven
completely outcassed in every department.
Not only the men not drilled np to the stand
ard Of the Yale team, but when they lined up
against the warriors from New-Haven they
seemed to be struck with a sudden attack of stage
fright. Only once did they display the Split OF
grim determination which held Princeton down.
and that was when they held Yale on the two-yard
line in the first half.
No practice will be held to-day as Morley beieVeS
that the men need complete rest. The team VIII
begin work again tomorrow, but it will proeaoIy
be light for the rest of the week.
