GAMBLER LOST MONEI
The Court Beiuses io Help Blm
 Recover lt.

Judge Burpee yesterday expressed his opinion about gamblers who try to make a collection agency of his court A few months ago two Lith- uanians named Joseph Wacowkis and Jonas Tilbukitis played cards for money in . saloon In the Brooklyn district. The sum was small at the start and as the game progressed Jonas became the loser. The more he lost, with true gambler spirit. he raised the amount of the stake, and he lost the more. In time he had no more to lose, and then he was in the position of the fellow who had every thing to gain by making a demand. So he requested his adversary in the game to divide with him what he had won or he would prosecute him. Jo- seph declined to do so. After a week or so Jonas brought suit to recover the amount of his loss, $19, and that was the suit Judge Burpee heard yes terday. The court remarked that he was a poor sport indeed and poor kind of man on top O that, who. after losing his money in fair spirit of gambling undertook to recover 1t in court of law. The court had no use for such men and they could not make his court collecting agency and he gave judgment accordingly.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Upson, Singleton X Go, colthiers, open until noon Thanksgiving day.
 Almost all the stores in this section will close at noon tomorrow. The drug stores will also observe holi- day hours.
 None of the saloon keepers in this section think there is need to worry about having their licenses renewed because remonstrance has been made by the prohibition party.
 William Stokes of South Leonard street and Miss Pauline Casper of Naugatuck will be married at St Francis's church, Naugatuck, to-mor- row morning. Joseph Smith of Law renee street and Miss Mary King of Naugatuck will be the attending couple.
 One of the guinea hens in Yur- kuna's saloon at the corner of Bank and North Leonard streets got away yesterday and kept about fifty men and boys busy for half an hour trying to catch it. They finally chased it into hallway and captured it. There are many turkeys, chickens, ducks and hens in. the saloons in this sec tion to be played for before to-mor- row night. Generally they are not won without few battles between the players.
 James Draher and Billy" Ged- des went duck shooting down near Branford yesterday and had great luck. They had two friends with them and the quartette during the day killed about 200 pounds of duck Last evening they proudly exhibited their birds and claimed the number of ducks killed by them was larger than any catch made by Brooklyn ties in years. Geddes also shot a beautiful specimen of the loon family and was so pleased with it that he says he is going to have it stuffed. All Brooklyn will be out to the football game at Reidville tomorrow afternoon and this section will be deep in sorrow tomorrow evening if by any chance the B. A. c. team suf- fers defeat at the hands of the All Waterburys in the eventful struggle It promises to be the greatest game in this city in years and there is not likely to be dull moment from the beginning to the end. The Brooklyn rooters have been rehearsing songs for the occasion and the cheering will make the spectators think of the big college games. Brooklyn seems to have much confidence in their team and there is plenty of money in this locality to wager against the Ill town team. It is said in Mahaney's cafe alone there is $200. Last even. ing the B. A. c. boys went to Nauga. tuck to practice as several players from the borough are playing with the B. A. c. aggregation. The mana gers of both teams should see to il that the game is started early so il will be over before darkness sets in

IN THE COURTS
John Peurose Asks For Dam.
 sqes..D Divorce Cases on Docket

The case of John Penrose of Nau- gatuck against the railroad company and the Connecticut Co which are practically one and the same, was begun before the jury and Judge Bennett in the superior court late yesterday afternoon. MT Penrose asks damages of $4,000 for the loss of the services of his 11-year-old boy, John. He sets forth in his complaint that on certain day in 1905 the company through their negligence left dead telephone wire dangling from a tree on a highway in the Rubber town. Young Penrose think ing the wire harmless handled 1t and the wire came in contact with a live electric wire. The boy was badly shocked and the fingers of his right hand severely burned, it is claimed
 MT Penrose sets up in his com plaint that the boy would have earned at least $2,000 until his majority but in consequence of the injury to his fingers he will not be able to earn that sum, and his maintenance will be heavy drag on the plaintins earning capacity.
 Counsel for the defense asked MT Penrose if he ever estimated the cost of raising boy from Il years of age to 21 and he answered that he had not the slightest idea of the cost.
 His own counsel then asked him the same question and his answer was that it takes about all his wages to raise his family. r
 Young Penrose has suit pending for damages of $5,000, but the yer dict of the present case will decide that.

and lifted up by a torpedo, which passed
under and continued to run for about 40
yards. The Admiralty's case was that tho
torpedo had finished it's course of 1000
yards and was at rest on the surface of the
water when the launch negligently ran into
it; and the Admiralty counterclaimed for
EFT, damages to the torpedo. Engineer
Commander A. w Gibbs, III charge of the
torpedo depot at Portsmouth, said the tor
pedo used in the Service was the most per-
feet weapon in the woIl and could be de-
pended upon to do what they wanted it to
do. The jury found that the torpedo was
discharged too near the launch, and that
there was no negligence on the plaintiffs
part. Judgment for the plaintiffs on the
claim and counterc(aim, with costs, was given.

THE GUILD OF PLAY.

III days when we have forgotten how to
amuse ourselves, when we pay professionals
to act for us, and sing for us, and dance for
us, and play cricket and football for us, and
regard the amusements we buy as the only
possible amuSements, it is q pleasure to think
of such an organization as the GuIIH of Play,
which Mrs. c. w. Kimmins has brought now,
after years of work, to some measure of
deserved fame. There is IN effort abroad
and this guild is the capital expression Of
ito catch people young and teach them
to amuse themselves. a not Oh
lection is that this is to turn play into les
SONS, and rob it of all it's genuine qualities.
We recommend those who advance that
objection to take an opportunity of seeing
the Bermondeey children of the Guild Of
Play doing some of their dances. There is no
trace of lessons here;no puckered brows, no air
Of duty or perfunctory movement. Earnest
faces, no doubt, and a due sense of impor-
lance of ''doing it right" for the credit Of
the guild and for the sake Of the others,
but the earnest faces are serene when they
are not smiling, and if any thing is clear it
is the thorough enjoyment of the children.
Last Friday some 80 children out of the
several hundred who all can dance these
dances in Bermondsey appeared at the Poly
technic and gave a "Shrovetide Recital of
dances in aid of the Craft Schools at Chat
ley in connexion with the Guild OF the Brave
Poor things and a very delightful perform.
ance it was. 1t is a happy idea to make the
hale children dance on behalf of the ~cripples,
and these performances by the Guild of
Play are the best possible argument in ia
vour of those who desire to revive the old
and homely amusements of past days in the
hope of frightening dull lives and lessening
the dependence on professionals Ibid.

The GYRosooPE IN SHIPs.-A paper was
read on Wednesday, ut the Royal Society of
Arts, by Mr.. M. Wurl on Dir. Schlick's gyro-
scopic apparatus for preventing ships from
rolling, of which various accounts have ap-
peared in Ihe Times Engineering Supple
m32t notably on March 81 and November 20
of last ear. In the absence of Sir William
H. White, the chair was taken by Major
Philip Cardew. The lecturer, who showed
working models of the apparatus, said that it
had l.een demonstrated that DR.. Schlick's
gyroscopic apparatus greatly diminished the
movements OF heaving, pitching. and rolling,
and experiments had shown that a vessel
could be kept steady IN o sea which, without
the apparatus, caused rolling actions up to
70 deg. to each side, and it might re lsonably
be expected that a wheel about 6 it. in dia-
meter, running at 1,400 revolutions per min
ute, would keep steady q vessel of 1000 tons
displacement, with a moderate metacentric
height, in any sea that was likely to be en-
courtered. The first practical application of
the gyroscope in ships would be made in
Germany, as the Vulcan works in Stettin
had finished the apparatus intended for the
Hamburg-American Company's vessel Silvana,
q pleasure steamer of about 900 tons dis
placement. This gyroscope would be steam
driven and similar in design to that in the
Seebar, in which the experiments had been
made. The fy-wheel would be 60 in. in
diameter, designed to run at 1900 rovolu-
tons per minute, TIE shop tests of this
machine had been very satisfactory, and it
would begin its work at sea very shortly.
The manufacture of the gyroscope had also
been undertaken on the Tyne, but in this
case the machines were somewhat different
from the foregoing, and the fy-wheel would
be driven by electricity.-z5mes, 8rd AprM.

Trinidad appears to be suffering from on
epidemic of "wild beasts" One Of the is
land journals tells us that one night recent
" large animal entered Mr.. Guys yard.
A Eoise was made and the beast got alarmed
and leaped over the fence, tearing out one
OF the boards in his wild leap. Since then,
the animal has returned to Mr.. Guys yard
and killed two turkeys.
Again, We read that while on o hunting
expedition in the heights of Laventille, q
young man came unexpected upon u tiger
cat in its den. Aiming himself with sufi-
cient courage to do battle with the minia-
ture "man-eater," an attack was opened, in
which the latter received his death-blow.
Later in the day, while the dead creature
was being carried through the town, q
crowd of curious spectators literally sur
rounded the slayer, much to his annoyance.
The beast vas of fairly large size and was
beautifully marked. 1t is said by residents
i'll the Laventille district that Of late several
Of those animals have been roaming about
the place devouring stock and poultry.-Rtd

THE AGE OF THE EARTH.

One of the recreations of the late Lord
Kelvin was the repetition at popular lectures
(perhaps rather q misleading title) of the
argl ments which entitled him to believe
that the earth had an Rge of between
10000, 900 and 100000 600 years. Thirty
million years was the outside limit which he
would allow to the biologists and as nearly
all biologists demand Mt least twice that
number of years for the accumulation of
strata, while most biologists lean to q similar
estimate for the development of species, it
need hardly be said that Lord Kelvin's
views were not popular among all his scien-
tjfic brethren. He reinforced the reasoning
Ivy which he had arrived at these results by
many considerations, such, for instance, as
the speed at which the enrth must have been
rotating when it began to solidify. But his
first arguments were based on q coDsidera-
ton of the observed heat of the crust of the
earth on the observed rate at which molten
rocks will cool and on what he assumed
from mathematical reasons to have been the
heat of the earth when it began to assume
shape and form. This is the direction in
which most frequently his arguments have
been assaulted and it is not without interest
that after having shown themselves to be
rather hard to demoIish for fifty years a new
attack should be made on them now. The
latest assailant is DR.. George Becker, of the
very able Geological Survey of the United
States. We have not the space to follow DR..
Becker's arguments, but we may quote part
of his conclusions, which are based on in
vestigations analogous to those of Lord
Kelvin. 81 cannot but believe that the
SO, 100000 year earth is a fair approximation
to the truth, and that with better data this
age will not be changed by more than, per-
haps, 100000 years. 1t is in good accord
with geological estimates from %denudation
and sedimentation; with the age of the ocean;
and with the age of the moon as computed
by Sir G.. Fl. Darwin" DR.. Becker also re-
marks that the part played by radio-activity
in heating the earth was a subordinate one,
and that we require new data concerning
the present heat of the earth's crust.-Ib'd
