Glasgow, Sept 16.-William Fife, to

Americas cup has Professionally been
given, worked on plans ana models
nearly all the summer, but it was inn
possible for hHl to complete them as

were in the direction of producing such
boat as would be built for racing
under the new international rule, now
accepted by the yacht racisg associae

Therefore Il Is believed that the chal.

its home racing, which gets the saTse

amusement Why, / can do things
with the common materials Of every
day life which really seem to be more
magical to the uninitiated than any
Of the wonders that are ordinarily per-
formed by magielans on the public
stage. Some Of them are so simple
that by carrying them out at a par
Tor entertainment a bright boy could
achieve the reputation OF a magician.
Now, there are those curious little bub-
bles OF glass known variously aa
'rTince Rupert's drops and as Dutch
tears. Apparently they are merely
little globules Of glass with elongated
tails made by heating a small glass
rod in a flame and allowing the molten
drops TO fall into water. After they
have cooled you may pound the thick
part with a hammer or mallet, yet you
cannot break them. On the other
hand, Il you break a little piece of
their tails or touch any part Of them
with a quartz crystal they will disap-
pear into the surrounding atmosphere

Muck in Pond Produces a Specimen Five
Feet Long.

Brattleboro, Sept. t6.--Bushels Of
cells have been taken out OF West river
By force of men who are cleaning out
the pond above the Twin State Gas and
Electric companys dam at West Dunn
merston. The men say the sight pre-.
scented by the eels Il unlike anything
they ever saw before
The pond had become partly filed
with an accumulation Of leaves, weeds,
sawdust and other material, and the
muck which bad been formed by the
addition OF art formed an excellent
place for the cells to thrive A macaine
with forks made for that special work
Is used for bringing the muck to the
surface The work Of these forks has
created CONSERVATION among the cells
and SO many Of them have escaped
through the penstoek chat the water
wheels have been clogged several times,
making - necessary to shut down the
power plant while the cells were being
removed.
Qre specimen which was so large that
IL attracted particular attention meas

inches in circumference.
