of marvellous memories. Almost from
childhood Mirandola vas noted for his
extraordinary memory. He studied
canon law at Bologna and then went
to Ferrara, where be mastered theol-
ogy and the different systems OF phi
losophy and became proficient In Lat
in, Greek. Hebrew, Chaldee and Ara
bic. The wide range of his learning Is
best illustrated in the 900 theses he
proposed as subjects OF controversy at
Rome in 14S6. Pascal says he never
forgot anything he read. Ben jon
son tells us that j. could repeat all he
had ever written and whole books"
that he had read. The same feat. too.
is credited to Niebuhr, the historian.
1t is also told of Neibuhr that in his
youth while employed In one of the
public offices of Denmark he was able
through his memory alone to complete

been partly destroyed. Leibnitz, like

peat the whole of the "Aeneid"

had once told him that. having tripped
up Macaulay in quotation from Par

took him up in great many passages
at random, in all Of which he went on
correctly repeating the original Was
it not miraculous tour desprit? Ma
caulay does not hesitate to say now
that he thinks he could restore the first
six or seven books of the Paradise In
case they were lost"
There can be no doubt Of the truth
Of this and many of the other stories
told of Macaulay's memory He was
a man of splendid talents. His knowl-
edge of English history was unsur-
passed by his contemporaries-Jo

6 AND DISPLAY OF
CRIT BY PENNSY
Six Times Cornell Tries to
Make Three Yards and a
Touchdown but Fails.
MET A "WALL OF STONE
WITH DESPERATION ITHACANS
FIGHT IN SIGHT OF GOAL LINE
EFFORTS.


Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 29.-Al-
though Pennsylvania failed to beat
Cornell, or to even score on the Red
and White Franklin Field this after
blaze of glory that will live in the
memory of Pennsylvania for years
to come. That the Ithacans did not
win was due to a wonderful display
of Pennsylvania grit, in which they
prevented the Cornell team from car
rying the ball over for a touchdown,
although the latter were requested to
make but three yeards and yet failed
in six tries to gain the distance and
beat Pennsylvania.
In the first half the Red and Blue
surprised her supporters by playing
the entire time in Cornell territory
and the half ended with the ball in
Cornell's possession on their own fif-
teen year line. Neither team changed
the lineup at the beginning of the sec
ond half, but Cornell showed much
better form and outplayed the Red
and Blue eleven in every depart
ment of the game Taking the ball at
midfield after fifteen minutes of play
in this half Cornell was able to carry
it by straight line plunging and a for
ward pass by Gibson to Pennsylva-
MAS fifteen yard line.
Being on the side line Cornell was
prevented from attempting field
goal and Jameson tried quarter
back forward pass. Hollenback
caught the ball INT fumbled, and YAM
Onman fell upon it eight yards in
front of Pennsylvania goal posts.
Watson, who had but few minutes
before relieved Babcock, was chosen
to carry the ball over and he took it
seven yards. With the ball on the
one yard line a score seemingly GER
tain Watson was again given the ball
but this time the Pennsylvania were
braced for the onslaught and they
held firm Again Watson took the
ball, but once more the Pennsylvania
line was faltering and it was Penn
sylvanias ball on downs but few
inches from the goal line. Holenback
attempted to kick out but the strong
southwest wind carried the ball out
of bounds on Penusylvania's four
yard line Cornell was desperate and
when after two tries she had carried
the ball to the one yard line, Coach
Warner tried another trick by send
ing Gardiner in to relieve Jameson.
His object was to carry instructions
for the next play, but in this he fall
ed. as the Pennsylvania team again
recovered itself and got the ball on
the downs within half foot of their
goal line as the whistle sounded the
end of the game.

DEMAND SAFER BUILDINGS
Warming Taken from Rochester-Con
crete ColIapses and Similar Acct
dents in Other Cities.
Publishers Press.1

New York, Nov. 29.-Architects and
builders here are taking warning
from many recent accidents caused by
collapsing concrete buildings. Lead.
ers in the movement for safer con
struction are demanding that New
York's building code, which is about
to be revised, shall contain such strin-
gent provisions as to prevent the cree
ton Of fiimsy structures of this type.
The debris of the Long Beach, Cali
fornia, hotel disaster, had not been
cleared away before this weeks Ro-
chester collapse occurred, adding
three to the growing death list and a
dozen to the roll of seriously injure d
chargeable to falling concrete build
ings. In the Rochester disaster the
only explanation forthcoming is that
when the supporting woodwork was
removed, walls and floors crashed
down Of their own weight. although a
month had been allowed for the con-
crete to harden.
On the heels Of the Rochester dis
aster it is remembered that the lead
ing engineering authority of this city
was recently quoted as asking: Are
these concrete buildings an engineer
ing mistake? Are the engineers and
architects and contractors who are
putting them up, building wisely and
safely for themselves and for the own
ers; or may they look back some day
and be filled with sorrow and regret
because of the destruction OF life and
nrOnprfy One two accidents
like that at Rochester would not have
shaken faith in reinforced concrete
construction, but like collapses have
occurred with such regularity of late
that advocates of this form OF con-
struction are now placed on the de-
fensive

In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that is to
say, he had only a Christian name
without any kind OF handle before it
or surname after it. Some means Of
distinguishing one John or William
from another John or William became
necessary. Nj knames derived from a
mans trade or his dwelling place or
from some personal popularity were
tackled on to his Christian name, and
plain John became John Smith. As
vet there were no "misters' in the
land. Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk Of his fell
lo,vs-became perhaps a landed pro-
prietor or an employer Of hired labor
Then he began to be called in the Nor
man-French OF the day the "maistre"
of this place or that, OF these work
men or of those. In the time the
"maistre," or "maister," as it soon be-
came. got tackled on before his name.
and he became Master Smith and his
wife was Maistress Smith. Gradually
the sense of possession was lost sight
Of, and the title was conferred upon
any kindly mere possession OF wealth
or holding some position Of more or
less consideration and Importance.

In the article on the GIengarry
branch of the MacdonaIds James Lo-
gan. in his 1.-The Clans Of the Scottish
Highlands" says:
AT the castle Of Arcs the lords of
the isles held their parliament and
passed the regal DEGREES, which distant
tribes were bound to respect. The sim.
pie form in which important rights
were conveyed by these princes may
be illustrated by the following brief
but binding charter, which loses in
translation from the original Gaelic:
I, Donald, the chief Of the Macdon-
aids, sitting on the hill of Dun Donald,
give the MacAodh a full right to Kill
mahomag from this day till tomorrow,
and SO on forever A lesson was af-
forded by one of these lords which
might greatly benefit some sticklers
for presidency. He had at banquet
been placed by mistake at the bottom
of the table, on perceiving which con-
siderable emotion arose among the
company, who dreaded the conse-
quences Of the supposed indignity, but
the great ceanncinnidh (head OF his
rac6) speedily allayed their apprehen-
sions by exclaiming emphatically,
Where the Macdonald sits, know We,
gentlemen. that is the head OF the
table,"

The team has won honors this year

During the first half Richmond
could not get together and played IN
apparent apathy although when their

as man to protect it.
In the second half Richmond play

were not up to their usual standard.

BOYS worked a long forward pass
and made forty yards, but owing to
the fact that the Rushville p1gsk1n
Dushers were not up to the new rules
their referee would not permit the
gain. and the locals had to be con-
tented although they were somewhat
angry at the decision. The ball was
at this time in Rushville territory and
the Richmond boys played like de-
mons to score before the end OF the
half They worked an onside KICK
which netted them thirty yards, but
AGAIN the Rushville referee who was
behind the new rules, called the team
back.
Richmond at this point braced ana

wanted to play under the old rules, 1t
would give it taste of it and by
series of short lin. bucks which. in
the hands of fullback Haas, halfbacks
Allis On and Graves, the ball was
quickly forced from the fifty yard
line to Rushville's goal line. Rush

field, but was unsuccessful and half
back Graves was forced over for the
only touchdown of the game.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Heston, of the
University of Michigan football team
suffered a broken leg while playing
with the All-Western Eleven against
Massillon here this afternoon. The
Massillon team won by a score of IL
to f.
Though the All-Western players in
cluded many of the stars in the Yves,
tern football armament, the absence
of training in teamwork made the ele-
ven remarkable rather as gridiron
curiosity than as an effective fighting
machine.
The field was too soft to permit of
fast work Massillon made the first
score on a goal drop-kicked by David
son. The All-Westerns worked hard
during the rest of the half but Massil-
Ion Outgeneraled them and there was
no more scoring until near the middle
of the second half, when Hare, of In
diana, for the All-Westerns, kicked
goal from the so yard line, tieing the
MaSSillon team.
Hestons leg was broken in a fierce
scrimmage a few minutes later and
he was carried from the field after
actually regaining his feet and trying
to resume the game.
McAllister made first down for Mas
sillon toward the end of the half and
they ended the game with 10 points
in theE favor to four for the mixed

LEAST 4 DEATHS

New York, June 12.-Four persons are
known to be dead and several others are

story tenement house at 2os East Ninety
seventh street yesterday. Two hremen
were injured by falling from the building
and one OF them Is not expected TO live.
Scores OF thrilling rescues took place.
but just as the flremen were about to take
"A woman and her 2-year-old baby from
the fire escape on the third floor the wom-
an fell, overcome by the smoke. and
dropped the child. II was killed by strik-
ing the pavement.

will die.
Wilson cahil, Truck 8. fractured leg,
possible fracture OF the skull.
Starting on the ground floor in real
estate office. the fire spread rapidly
through the building, which was occupied
by 21 families.
Even before the alarm could be sounded
the flames had blocked all means of es-
cape from the upper floors save the fire
escapes. Several women and children
were taken from the fire escapes by
policemen before the firemen reached the
scene The house was then ablaze from
cellar to roof and persons clinging TO the
Arc escapes near the top OF the building
were rescued with the greatest difficulty.
The ladder which had been placed
against the side OF the building slipped
when Fireman Tauher was near the top
and the fireman plunged TO the sidewalk.
Fireman Cahill fell from FIRE escape
platform at the third floor. The three
persons who lost their lives in the flames
occupied a tenement on the top floor Ap-
parently they had been overcome by
smoke before they could reach the fire
escapes.
