WAI BROOK WON
FROM WILMINGTON

Walbrook's roller polo team defeated
Wilmington last night by a score
of 2 to / at Eleventh Street Rink. The
Baltimore boys won out in the second
half, and thereby took the series by
capturing two Of three games. Will
mington should not have lost for the
local boys excelled in team work, but
lost many opportunities to cage the
ball after it had been passed deftly.
The game lacked much Of the dash
and attack of previous games. this be-
ing due to the fact that the Whining
ton team relied entirely on skilled
passing and team work, rather than
hammering the ball around and having
one man to attempt to carry it the
entire length Of the floor. Doubtless
the fast and consequently rougher
game, with fewer attempts at clean
passing and team work, appeals more
to the spectators than does last nights
style Of play, even though the latter
is the more scientific and generally
more productive of victory.
The first half was devoted entirely
to open play, which gave the appear
ance Of listlessness. Creamer Gagged
one goal for Wilmington and Jones one
for Baltimore in the first period
Creamer was moved from center tc
rush in the second half, and both teams
put up greater speed. Creamer did the
best work for Wilmington, and while
Chandler was fast on his skates and
frequently extracted the ball from his
opponent in scrimmages at the ends
of the rink, he lost several fine chances
to shoot when the ball was passed to
him by Lenderman and Creamer. To-

What He Would Shy At.

In certain recent case a groom
was being cross examined by a bar
rister more famous for talent than
beauty Of features. The clever ad-
vocate was endeavoring to find out
about the temper of horse, which
had an important bearing on the
case, but the witness was not very
lucid.
''Does he s,ly:" he was asked.
The groom said he did.
"At what" was the next ques-
ton.
"At lots of things" was the an
swer. And for long no better OF
further particulars could be got
But Mr.. Witt, determining to get q
clearer answer, went on.
"But tell me-" he said in his most
suave tones, ''ot any particular thing
he would shy at. =
"Well, ED shy at you," was the
unexpected answer. And every one
seemed to wonder whether that was
evidence.-London Answers.

With Knife and Fork.

In the middle ages people knew
not knives and forks, but ate with
natures implements-their fingers
Later they held the bread or meat
in a napkin in their left hands and
cut off pieces with dagger held in
the right hand, the food being car
ried to the mouth on the knife, even
in the most polite society. The next
development was to have a special
eating knife instead of using the
dagger, which might have been used
for the dispatch of an enemy. Each
person kept an eating knife, and
when he was invited out to dinner
he brought his knife along with
him. Forks were used in Venice in
997, but it was not till 1903 that a
Venetian traveller, one Thomas Cor
yate, introduced them into Britain

THE cow AND THE GATE.
Animal Ability to Associate One Thing
With Another.

When l was bucolic treasury
clerk in Washington the COW of an
old lrishwoman near by used to
peep through the cracks in my gar
den fence at my growing corn and
cabbage till her mouth watered.
Then she saw that a place in the
fence yielded to me and let me in,
so she tried it. She nudged the
gate with her nose until she hit the
latch, and the gate swung open and
let her in. There was an audible
crunching of succulent leaves and
stalks that soon attracted my atten-
ton. I hustled her out and sent a
kick after her that fell short and
nearly unjointed my leg. But she
was soon back, and she came again
and again till I discovered her
secret and repaired the latch SO that
nudging or butting the gate would
not open it.
How surely such conduct as this
of the cows evinces reason to most
persons! But shall we not rather
call it the blind groupings of in
stinct stimulated into action by the
sight and odor Of the tender vege-
tables? Many of the lowest organ
isms show just as much intelligence
about their food as did the old cow.
Even the American sun dew, &C
cording to Mrs. Treat, will move its
leaves so that it can seize a fly pin
ned half an inch from it. The
method of the old cow was that of
hit and miss or trial and error. She
wanted the corn, and she butted
the gate, and, as luck would have it,
when she hit the latch the gate
swung open. But shall we conclude
that the beast had any idea at all
but the sense impression made upon
her hunger by the growing vegeta-
bles?
Animals do not connect cause and
effect as we do by thinking the
therefore" They simply associate
one thing with another. Your dog
learns to associate your act of TAX
ing your hat and cane with a walk
or your gun with the delights of the
chase or with its report, if he is
afraid of it, and so on.
Without this power of associa-
ton the birds and beasts could not
get on in life. The continuity of
their experience would be broken.
1t is rude kind of memory-sense
memory. A sense impression to-
day revives a sense impression of
yesterday or of the day before, and
that is about all there is of it

TRAINING DIVERS.
The Way Science Helps These Sub
marine Workers.


The admiralty trains divers, and
every British warship carries at
least one representative of the craft
and frequently more. There are
training schools at Portsmouth,
Davenport and Sheerness.
One of the difficulties with which
divers have to contend is probably
not realized by landsman-name-
ly, that the greater the depth the
greater is the pressure of water on
the mans body and the greater the
labor and exhaustion of working.
The naval authorities limit their
men to a depth of 100 feet. The
greatest depth to which a man has
descended is said by Siebe to have
been 204 feet, and the pressure at
that depth was extraordinary
namely, lightweight, and one-half
pounds. to the square inch, One
wonders how any human being
could stand it. Twelve fathorAs, or
about seventy feet, would be.enough
for most men. The ears and nose
would probably begin to bleed, and
the pressure ON the head would be
very serious. "A practiced diver can
of course descend much deeper
without such unpleasant sensations.
His;@dress costs more than f1OO.
It is of tanned twill and rubber and
made in one piece, with a big open
ing at the neck. The helmet is of
copper and screws on to the shout
ders so tightly that the water can
not penetrate the joint. Air is
pumped down to him by pipe made
of canvas and rubber, and outlet
valves, which only open outwardly,
are placed at convenient places to
permit the vitiated air to escape.
These valves are extremely impor-
tant, as by them the diver can reg
ulate his supply of air.
In addition to this pipe the diver
has a life line, enabling him to
communicate with his assistants
above water. This was formerly
done by a series of concerted tugs
or jerks on the line, but that meth
cd has been superseded as means
of communication by the telephone,
the wires being conveyed by the life
line. He therefore touches the but
ton and talks as if he were in the
city.
Another great improvement is the
use of the electric lamp, though in
some West Indian waters a diver
can see clearly for some distance.
In other waters, again, the darkness
is intense twenty or thirty feet
down. The weight of the dress is
extraordinary and is necessary to
enable the diver to maintain his sta
bility. His helmet weighs consid-
erably over a quarter of hundred
weight, and his boots, taken to-
gether, weigh about as much, while
if these be not sufficient he claps
lead upon his shoulders.-London

THOUGH ALL WE'RE FABLES.
Though all great deeds were proved but

Though God did never man in words be-

Though life immortal were a dream un-
