Plants at the Cape are often rare
and curious. There is one, stunted
and thorny, which. lighted at the end
when green, burns slowly and steadily
like a wax candle. That is Why it is
called the candle bush. On the slopes
of some of the hills grow trees named
euphOrbia. They may reach a height
of forty feet, and stand Up stiff and
straight as if mace Of metal. Their
branches are as severely formal as the
arms of a candelabra, and the tree
has, on enc "~>sEt, been hkened to

CHEMISTRY.

Alcohol is e very interesting liquid,
and many entertaining experiments
may be made with it. If you try to
dissolve various substances in it, for
example, you will find that those of an
oily or gummy nature, which will not
dissolve at all in water, will not only
dissolve in the alcohol, but actually dis
appear.
Take camphor as an illustration. If

that you have cooked it without heat

Now prepare a basin of water, and
when it is very still drop some alcohol
on the surface. Where it strikes the
water a little pit will be formed, like
a dimple in the smooth surface. This

Feisehood is the product Of environ-

Justice often becomes so drowsy

The broken shields we throw away

garments huttering wildly; the next
instant he fades away, and though
there is absolutely no place in which
he could hide, nobody can see him
anywhere.
This trick has been borrowed by
the ~jugglers from an Indian butterfly.
The butterfly has such gorgeous blue
and red wings that it is almost daz-
zling, and when it fits through the
jungle even the dullest and most care
less eye is attracted instantly by It.
Yet the moment it settles on a
twig it disappears utterly, and those
who are not aware Of it's secret may
search as they will-they cannot find
it.
The secret is that the underside of
those gorgeous wings is not gorgeous
at all, but is the exact color and shape
of withered leaves, so the moment the
insect folds it's wings its glowing col
ors vanish, and it looks exactly like
any n of the thousands of leaves.
The trick of the jugglers is worked
by the same simple means. The bril-
liant clothing of the dancing boy has
a reverse side that is pure white. At
the proper moment the boy fiutters his
garments wildly, reverses them. and
squats close to a white wall or against
a group of white-clad iugglers.
At the same moment he rubs white
powder over his face, and by this ludi-
crously simple trick he deceives the
shaTpest sight.

JUNIOR LEAGUE STANDING.
SHERIDAN SUSPENDED.

Cbampion Discus Thrower Must Re
 City Job or Become Professional.
 On Saturday night last the registra- tion committee of the Metropolitan as. sociation of the A. A. Y. disposed or tke case of Martin J. Sheridan, the champion discus thrower, protested on the grounds of professionalism last August. This committee is comp0sed of John Steil of the New York Turn Verein. chairman; Thomas F. OBrien of the Warren X. c. of Jersey City and Michael J. Flynn of the Star A. C.. of Long Island City, and after session extending over several hours they de- cided that Sheridan be suspended rom the date of his offense against the anna teur laws until the present, and that he must forfeit all the prizes won dur ing the interval.
 sheridan was protested at the Metro nolitan championship at Travers Island on August 20 by Captain Charles Il. Sherrill of the New York A. c. on the ground that he was not an amateur. as at the time he was track master or the Pelham Bay Park athletic grounds with a salary of S1OO month. He was allowed to compete, however, ana won the discus, was second in the shot and fourth in the J6-pOund weight. Al the Olympic games Sheridan won the discus and the cup. valued at S2U, given by Isaac Taylor, and these prizes with others he returned when ordered to the custody of the Metropolitan as sociation. His case was tried on De- tober s, and in an examination Defore the committee Sheridan deposed that if the City Record stated that he was fireman of the athletic park the City Record was wrong and that there was no melton of the word athletic" in his civil service examination and that ms prOwess as an athlete had nothing 10 do witt, securing the position as fire- man, Later an the committee tried to secure a copy of the civil service pa- pers but sheridan had Il friend con nected with the examining board and the ends of justice were nicely fris- trated in that, direction. X condition attached to the suspension is that sheridan must resign his position in the mark if he wants to compete as an amateur in future.
 The suspension of Sheridan will ere ate some changes in all the contests he has taken part in. Ralph Rose. who wns second in the discus at St Louis, gets the S2-O cup. and John Flanagan comes in for first prize at the Metro politan and Canadian championships at throwing the discus. as he won second place on both occasions. The total of points for the worlds championship cup at St Louis will be also altered and fl will now be New York X. C., Gi ! points: Chicago A. A.. 6 points.

THE DIAMOND.
THE SEASON
 NEARLY HERE
City League Managers Will Announce Their Players To.norrow Night = Re. suits of Games.

The most important meeting of the season for the City Amateur league will take place tomorrow night at the St .Josephs' rooms, and any team not represented will be very liable to lose the franchise in the league. This is the night when the managers announce the names of their players for the coming season. It is believed that sev- eral managers will name the same players in various positions on their respective teams and the battle will then be on to see which manager will win out. The first team the players compete with will be- their team for the season, unless they desire to make a change, and then such players who make a change cannot come back to the first team they played with. The league will probably open on April 30, but before that time the grounds will have to be put in condition. Another important feature at tomorrow nights meeting will be the presentation of a new set of rules drawn up by the pres ident at the suggestion of some of the managers and these rules will cover about every point in question and cover those points thoroughly.

NEW HAVEN MUDDIAE.

A New Haven dispatch to the Springfield Republican says that mat ters baseballwise are at sizes and sevens in that city. Cornelius J. Dan- aher of Meriden, owner of the New Haven team, has done nothing to in dicate that he will have team this year. .... t..... .., -.
 In negative way there are plenty of indications that Danaher does not intend to support a team here or to open his Savin Rock grounds to Con necticut league base ball this year. Hundreds of dollars worth of filling and hardening must be done at the Prairie before it is fit for playing on this year. The grounds were new last year and were hurriedly filled in for simply that season. The frost the past winter has made the base lines look like serpentine path, and there are gaping holes fin the infield and out field. The grounds are really .a, filled in swamp and last years filling in needs to he supplemented with hun dreds of loads more of dirt.
 Manager Danaher said last fall that he intended to build dressing room this season under his new grand stand. He has not made q move in that direction. He has not yet signed . player for this season, so far as can be learned. Phil Corcoran, pitcher, and Bill Hayward, shortstOp, are still nervous over the situation. They are the only members of the nine here. Neither has signed. although contracts were sent them March 1. in accordance with the league proviso which says that on that date contracts must be sent out or franchise will be forfeited.
 The dispatch concludes by saying that, there are some hints that Jim H. ORourke will force Danaher to make adeclaration or give up his franchise. It looks as if the wish was father to the thought, as that would give Dana. her the opportunity he wants for inde- pendent base ball.

The mile run was the best event of the day. and the finish between A. R. Welsh and H. T. Coggin of Trinity. Cambridge. was the best seen in long time. Coggin led into the straight and looked like a winner. but Welsh spurt- ed in the last twenty yards and caught him. winning by inches in the fast time of minutes. 2l 3-5 seconds. F.. E E. May of the London A. C. threw the 16-pound hammer 13O feet. which was regarded as fine performance fer the meet. Master of Selwyn was second with 12j feet. A. R.

famous reverse twist did several seasons ago when it was in- troduced. American lawn tennis players have developed the sport more than any other nation. They have even exceeded the English on the point of purely scientific stroking of the ball. On strategic lines of defense and attack the Americans even excel the Britons, but they have never been able to equal the plodding surety and steadiness of the latter on the courts. While the exact de- tail of Wards new service have natural ly been kept secret, enough of the meth- cd has become known to outline the playing of the stroke in a general way. In serving the player hits the ball so that it takes tremendous lateral spin. The aim of the server is to have the ball Otrike the outside edge and further cor ter of the receiving court. Because of the balls motion it is caused to bound sidewise and toward the outside bound aries of the court. It is claimed that the only sure return possible on the part of the receiving player. who, by the na- ture of the service, is driven far to one side and beyond the court liners, is long diagonal shot across the court. In the event of this return being made the serv- ice man has the full sweep of more than half his opponents court through which he may drive the ball for pass. The stroke which is being developed for use in the direct play at the net is the ap- plication of an English idea combined with a forcefully delivered chop-stroke of the racquet. The stroke so dcadens the ball that there is practically no bound obtainable. It depends upon the ball played very low and at the feet of the opposing player for it's ultimate suc- cess as a point gainer. This directing of the ball at the feet of the man on the vorite with the Britons for several sea- sons. They have learned to play the stroke without lifting the racquet, as most of the Americans do. and with far greater accuracy. While brilliancy is still to be regarded as the keynote of the American tennis game. the top class of players in this country have realized the great need of steadiness since the last visit of the Doherty brothers. and the coming season will doubtless wit ness their attainment of this much to be desired feature in the American game.

In the spring of 1903 he went east and earned nearly S40,0OO that year. But the flood of wealth proved to be his undoing, and last year he fell from grace so many times that owners finally summed him altogether. He won the American derby with Highball, re- ceived s1.0O0 for doing so, and then did not accept mount again while the sea- son lasted But he came to his senses after the campaign ended, went to Los Angeles. and has been riding we'll there ever since.

Just as Fuller had done the year before, Hildebrand leaped into popular favor at once. His serv- ices were in demand among all of the leading owners.
