RARE OLD PLAYS FOUND.

Seventeen Pre.Shakespearean Books
Discovered in Library in ireland.
London-Quite recently there were
discovered in the library of a gentle.
man in Ireland seventeen of the rarest
early English pre-Shakespearean
plays, which the owner, who was
quite unaware of their value, might
easily have sold for few pounds. The
volumes were, however, taken to
Sotherby, Wilkinson & Houye and
shown to Mr.. Hodge, who at once in.
formed the owner of the Importance of
his find.
From the historic point of view
these plays are even more valuable
than those of Shakespeare, as they
give a clearer idea of the literary
growth of England from it's rise to the
time of the bard. The plays, all OF
which are of exceeding rarity, will be
sold at Sothebys rooms, when keen
competition between English and
American buyers is anticipated.
The first is 1.-THE Trial of Treasure"
1876, of which only four other copies
are recognized. The second is 1877
edition of King Daryus," unrecorded
in Lowndes. The t:.:rd is rare edi.
ton Of John Bales morality play.
John the Evangelist" printed by John
Valley. The fourth is "Lusty Juven-
tus." The fifth is "Aplus and Vir-
ginia,'' 1875. The sixth is "Octavia,"
a rare first edition.
The others are: Jacob and Esau,"
1868; "a Nice ':;-anton," of which only
two copies are Known: Wealth and
Health" and "Imps';ent Poverty"
The same sale includes many other
rare items, notably fine copy of the
first folio edition of Shaxespeare's
plays, John Knox's Book of Common
Order" in Gaelic, 1867, of which only
two or three perfect copies are known
and several interesting poems and let

ried ia the Vest Pocket.
A Wisconsin chemist says he has
discovered a method whereby a man
can carry around in small phial $50
schOoners of good beer.
According to What to Eat he has
produced a liquid which is 1900
times stronger than the very best beer
that can be produced.
All he will say regarding his dis.
covery is that it is an alkaloid from
hops $500 times stronger than tho
malt now made from the best barley.
When this fluid is combined with
water the contact produces IN ilstan.

The advantage OF this 10 that one
could place a small phial containing

and thus be constantly supplied not
only with indefinite Qusnchings Of .

RINGER IN THE DERBY.
Old Time Turf Scandal That Resulted
In a Lawsuit.


The history of the turf contains
many stories of fraud. but none more
audacious and impudent than that as.
ISOLATED with the Derby of 1874, which
has been described as the most SEN
sational race on record-at least in
it's developments. says Tit-Bits. The
Derby of that year was won, as the
records tell, by Mr. A. Woods Run.

Nab, by Duncan Grey" ridden by
Mann. The same h,rse had won
two-year-old race at Newmarket in the
previous autumn, and it was then ru-
mored that he was year older than

in the Derby Col. Peel, whose horse
Orlando ran second, promptly lodged
an objection against the winner and
obtained an injunction against the pay
the dispute had been settled in the
law courts. Messrs, Wetherby accord
ingly paid the stakes into court and
left Mr. Wood and Col. Peel to fight
the matter out.
Col. Peels contention was that the
winner of the Derby was none other
than Maccabbeus. four-year-old horse
bred by Sir Charles Ibbetson, and thus
disqualified by age for the Derby. So
zealously and successfully did he and
Lord George Bentinck collect evidence
that when the great action Wood
against Peel came up for hearing be-
fore Baron Anderson at Winchester
they were in a position to prove their
case up to the hilt.
The case created buch excitement.
The court was crowded to suffocation.
Hundreds We're unable to gain admit
lance and feeling ran dangerously
high. After counsel had opened the
case for the plaintiff the judges very
sensibly suggested Produce your
horse and let him be examined by ex-
perts. That is the best answer to the
question" and the case was adjourned
for the production of Running Rein
on the following day.
When next day came, however,
plaintiffs counsel had to confess that
the horse was nowhere to be found

upon Baron Anderson was furious.
This is horse stealing" he exclaimed,
"a case for the Central criminal court;
and if try the parties and they are
convicted I'll transport them for life,
to dead certainty"
Under the circumstances Mr.. Wood
withdrew his action, stating that
gross fraud had been practiced on him
by his rascally trainer. A verdict was
given for Col. Peel and Orlando was
declared winner of the 1874 Derby In
place of the fraudulent Running Rein,

THE NAVY's CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Vast Improvement With Big Guns
Since 1898.

Vast Improvement With Big Guns
Since 1893.
THE criterion of target practice is
the actual number of hits per minute"
says Secretary Of the Navy Bonaparte.
Many ships now average between rs
and 80 per cent of hits, with all their
main battery guns, whereas in former
days the percentage was rarely over
40, even though firing slowly at a
target more than seven times as large
as the present one. Then the target
was 100 feet long and twenty-five fest
high. This increase in hitting ability
is due to the assidious training in the
target practices which have been car.
ried out under the new system adopted
and also to the improvement in ord
nance. Going back to 1898, when the
navy was using black powder and
when sights and other parts Of the
equipment were poorly developed, our
firing was both slow and inaccurate.
At that time 1t was considered salts
factory If a tweive-inch gun fired one
shot in five minutes. But with each
subsequent improvement in ordnance
the rapidity was somewhat Increased,
and BY carrying out systematic target
practice the present striking efficiency
has been attained. For example, the
heavy turret guns that were but few
years ago allowed fve minutes In
which to IRE q shot, have recently
fred three shots and made three hits
In one minute"
