SKATING RECORDS
WERE SHATTERED
BIZ European Competitions Were IN
Usually Suceessful-Gunder-
sen Was the Star.

GENEVA, Feb. 2A-Details received
from Davos show that the European
speed-skating compel lions held under
the auspices of the international Skat-
ing Club this year were unusually sue
cessful.
The principal skaters engaged were
r. Gundersen, of Christina; G c. J. de
koouiu6, of Edam, Holland, champion
of the world for 1905, and Fir. SchilIing,
of Vienna. champion of central Europe
for 1905. Having regard TO the past
records of these men, keenly contested
races were expected, and, in fact.
The reunion was looked upon as
the most important and interesting
since 1900, when p. Oestlund, of Trond-
jem, broke four worlds records in two
days.
Anticipations were realized. for Gun
dersen, in the 50O-metre race, lowered
the worlds record Of IS 10 seconds. es-
tablished by Oesuund in the memora Bile
year of 1900 by covering the distance
De Kooning. St. George fAshe. of Eng
land, who is we'll known in scuIiing
circles and won the amateur scuIIing
championship in 1904, also competed, and
was fourth. Gundersen Is, perhaps, the
most accomplished speed skater in the
world. His style and form leave moth
ing to be desired. but he has not the
size and strength of Oestlund. FIR
Schilling also skated in excellent style

RIO SKY. COLUMNS.

An explanation of a curious optical
phenomenon sometimes witnessed on
frosty nights, which is called the
"pseudo-aurora," is offered by an
official of the Weather Bureau.
The phenomenon tages the form of
beautiful columns of silvery lights
standing yer electric arc lamps and
other bright lights and sometimes
appearing almost to reach the zenith.

These appearances are due to foats

that the crystals concerned in the exs

HOUSEHOLD L

A newell method of preserving steel
knives and keeping them bright after
using occurred to a busy woman.
She filled a flower pot with clean fine
sand and set 1T in her kitchen dish
closet. In putting away the secured
steel knives, instead of laying them
in a drawer or k%nife-box, she stuck
them, blades down, in the pot of sand
as she would stick pins in a cushion.
The sand kept them so beautifully
that unless they were used to cut
some acid thing they never needed
securing.
When the lamp chimneys are
cleaned, a paper cone set over each

dust and greasy vapor that is apt to
collect on them before evening. To
KEEP them clean in this way chimneys
belonging to parlor, library or sitting
room lamps may be left in the kit
chen closet all day. The shades of
the lamps will hide the absence of
chimneys until they are needed, when
