Golf In the Alps.

Jerome Hunt writes Of golf, in the
Alps I'm the valleys there are people
in scarlet coats playing the imported
Scottish game of golf. The highway
along which the diigences run winds
its way past a unique golf links. The
keenest golf enthusiast who ever be-
walled the lack of sporty links
would have been satisfied with this
one in the high Alps. There are many
little pocket valleys in the Alps, which
from far up the peaks look as level as
a billiard table; but on close inspec-
tion the indications of their Alpine
parentage crop out. They are but the
wash of ages, which has secured down
from the prlmeval rock of the peaks.
Usually II is a very shallow layer OF
soil which forms the valley floor, be-
meath which is an igneous rock. Every
now and then there is little fault In
the floor Of the valley like the gigan-
tic ones in the mighty Alps which tow
er above you. II may be only a little
ravine from twenty to forty feet deep.
but its sides are almost perpendicular
The native goes up and down this i'm
mature precipice, walking on the edge
OF his feet and digging his toes into
the soft soil. When II Is so steep that
1t leans over backward and nothing
but a bird could climb It, then the ma
tives cut steps In the face of the wall.
These be the hazards on an Alpine
golf links. Wait and you will see an
elderly English gentleman in the bot
tom of one of these gorges making vio-
lent dabs at small ball with a nibliek
or mashie, which, small ball only
dashes against the perpendicular bank
and falls behind him. No wonder that
the natives here look upon Englishmen
as being mad To'travelers from low
land and sea coast Ii Is exasperating
to see the little caddies, both boys
and girls. careering lightly over these
links, as II they were on skates. To
us plain dwellers II is marvel, how
they run up and down these precip-
eces without getting out of breath. We
forget that they have mountain lungs.
Did you ever try to walk rapidly up a
hill at an elevation of 5000 or 1000
feet? Mountain climbing is done slow
ly, as rule, but golf players usually
walk rapidly. In the high Alps they
temper their enthusiasm and move de-
liberately.
"Our caddies were OF different
tongues some speaking German, some
Italian, some Romanish. Among them
was a little one called Sylvia. Sylvia
was an Italian caddie. She was ahout
years old ana three feet high, yet she
would run up and down these slopes
without apparently getting out of
breath. saw her pursuing a goat one
day and she overlook the animal with
out much difficulty. True, 1t was not
a mountain chamois, but domestic
goat Yet even the domestic goats OF
the high Alps move rapidly on perpen-
dicular slopesa ~

How the oyster Eats.

u MANY, gallons, probably many bar
rels, of water are drawn through the
gills OF each oyster each day" writes
Prof. Brooks of Johns Hopkins uni
lyersity, "and the microscopic bein IS

pushed along into the oysters mouth.
Each microscopic organism is a long
time in travelling TO the oysters stom-
ach; all this while II is alive and cap
able of becoming the parent of new
generations when removed from the
gill aud placed under suitable condi-
tions. Most of these organisms are
wholesome to man, and all that en-

killed ard converted into lts palatable
and nutritious substance; but so long
as they are travelling along the gills
all are alive and some are extremely
dangerous to man The oyster exer-
cises choice in the selection of It's
food, rejecting some OF the microscop-
ic organisms and swallowing others:
but those that are discharged into the

OWNERS OF PRIVATE cAas.
Their Numbers Have Markedly In.
creased In a Few Years.

Ten years ago no one dreamed Of the
enormous expansion of this strange
system of private ownership of rail-
road rolling stock. says McClure's Mag
azine Examine almost any freight
train today on any railroad In the
country, and it will be found that one
or more Of the cars, often every car In
the train, bears not the name of the
transportation company, whose lawful
obligation II is to provide the neces-
saries of commerce, but the name and
the faring advertisements of private
persons who are not common carriers
at all. Today over 300 private freight
car lines are in fiourishing existence,
operating 100000 cars And the num-
Der includes not only stock and re-
frigerator cars, but all sorts of curious
by-developments, private cars for
breakfast-foods. beer, furniture. farm
machinery, eggs, stone, lumber, lard,
carriages, and many other commodi-
ties. Trains there are today which
resemble nothing SO much as flying
billboard, advertising everything from
delicious sausage" to perfect pick
les"
The largest single owner of private
cars is Armour, of Chicago, who con-
trolls a dozen or more car lines, and
not only fruit ana meat cars, but many
tank. cattle, and even ordinary box
cars--involving altogether business
of magnitude difficult to conceive.
or refrigerator cars alone he has over
1900, representing an investment of
some si4,O000OO. Nearly every great
trust is an owner of private cars; that
is one reason, as shall show, why the
trust is a trust and why It continues q
trust. The Standard Oil Company
owns thousands of private tank cars,
and the Steel Trust thousands of ore
and coal cars. Not included among
the private freight-car owners we have
also the Sleeping-Car Trust owning
thousands Of Pullman cars which are
in reality private cars, and the Ex-
press Trust thousands of express cars.
Armour and his associates In the
Beef Trust. as the largest owner of
private cars, and perhaps the worst
offenders-though we haven't yet had
the Pullman-Car Trust, the express
companies, the brewers, and others in
the full light of publicity-will fur
nish the best illustration of the pecu-
liar operation and effect of the pri-
vate-car system. What is true of Ar
mour is true in greater or less de-
gree OF every private-car owner.

when Gas Ma Elrst us.d.

Tn the early days of the last century.
when Illuminating gas was first used In
London, timorous people talked OF the
dangers of suffocation aud of explos-
ions, to which the gas, which was still
lmperfectly purified. exposed the cit
izens. Scientists confirmed these as
sertions, and the first gasometer erect
ed in London, by Samuel Slegg, so
terrified the people that no workman
would venture to light the gas jets
which had been placed on Westminis-
ter bridge. But Clegg soon overcame
this difficulty by lighting torch and
applying II to the burners with his
own hands. On another occasion, be-
fore committee of the Royal society
of London, he bored a hole In the
gas holder and put lighted candle
to 1t, to the great alarm of the spec
tators, but without causing the slight
est accident. Gradually the eyes even
OF the most prejuliced were opend to
the truth ttt

McGrath played Taylor to a stand

On the other hand, Cunningham, who
fills the shoes of Taylor on the Mar
