PLAY WITH EARL HAM
High School Football War
riors "Do Things" to
CoIIegians.
SHOW MUCH STRENGTH.

The Earlham college football team
undertook to play the local high school
eleven handicap contest yesterday af-
ternoon. Earlham was to gain twenty
yards for each five the high school boys
advanced the ball. AT the end of the
first fifteen minutes of the twenty
minutes practice scrimmage the school
boys remained in possession Of the
ball. They had torn through, jumped
over and trampled upon the Quaker
line with remarkable daring and the
champion ends Of the college eleven
did not escape punishment. The little
fellows from the city school eiuded the
tacklers' ankles. The Quaker tandem
play was smashed to smithereens and
repeatedly the runner was downed for
a loss.
With their short period of training
the school boys have been able to put
up remarkable game this season. The
showing made against Earlham last
evening was really surprising to the
most enthusiastic follower Of the team.
Last Saturday the heavy Hamilton, O.,
eleven that expected an easy victory
was held to a tie score Saturday the
team goes to Dayton to meet the Steele
high school team. Ste &c has every ad-
vantage of the Richmond boys, but the
latter may be depended upon to put up
game struggle against all odds.

EYES OF THE SAVAGE.
His Keen Sight Due to Knowing What
to Look For.

His Keen Sight Due to Knowing What
to Look For.
The scientists are always delving
into the mysteries of nature, many
times on lines that the average man
never thinks of. Here. for example, is
that question of the keen eyesight of
the savage. We have all heard how
much keener his eyes are than those
OF civilized men, and we have accept
ed the statement as fact without
stopping to think how and why II is
true But party of scientists from
Cambridge, England. who have been
on an ARCHAEOLOGICAL expedition to the
Torres strait. tell us as a result of
their Investigations that the keen
sight of the native is due to his know
ing what to look for
They found that members of their
party could see and distinguish objects
as far as the natives could after they
had become familiar with the sur
roundings. A queer illustration OF this
principle is given In the western In
dams power to distinguish the sex of
a deer at a distance SO great that the
antlers cannot be seen. 1t is not only
sight that gives the Indian that power,
but his knowledge OF the peculiar gait
Of the male deer.

AN AMUSING TRICK.

Into a Dancing Figure.

Supposed Picture on Slate Turned
Into a Dancing Figure.
The trick here described is certain to
cause much establishment If well ar
ranged beforehand. Get a piece Of
board about the size of large school
slate and have it painted black. The
paint should be what is known as a
dead color, without gloss or bright
ness. Sketch out the figure of a skele-
ton on a piece Of cardboard and ar.
range it after the manner of jump
ing jack. SO that by holding the figure
by the head in one hand and pulling a
string with the other the figure will
throw up it's legs and arms In most
,ludicrous manner. Make the conuec-
ton Of the arms and legs with black
string and let the pulling string be also
black. Then tack the skeleton by the
head to the blackboard. The figure

Berlin, Oct. 15.-Advices are at
hand from Molde, Norway, telling of
the descent of the Swiss balloon
Helvetia to the ocean and the rescue
of Col. Schaeck and E. Messner. A
dispatch read as follows: "A fishing
boat yesterday afternoon rescued oc-
cupants of the balloon Helvetia at the
last moment as they were sinking,
the gas being totally exhausted. The
balloon was saved. Schaeck and
Messner remained here over night and
proceeded to Christiansand today"

by one of the anchor ropes of the bal
loon, but otherwise neither Of the men
sustained any harm on their adventur-
GUS trip.
A report from Mode says that an
other balloon was reported to have
landed in Norway about the same
place as the Helvetia. The Aero club
officials here, however, are doubtful
of this and believe that the report is
simply another version of the Helve-
tia S landing.

This Game

Any Number CT Players May Join In
This Game.
Here is Il game that will give boys
and girls no end OF fun 1t requires
no materials EXCEPT a wooden plate or
a circular tray. Indeed. any circular
object will do that may be twirled
around on the floor and is not easily
broken. Any number of boys and girls
may play it. Each player takes the
name of some article belonging TO a
lady's toilet, as hairbrush. hat brush.
comb, hairpin. gloves. etc.
The players take seats around the
sides OF the room, and the one who
has been selected to start the game
goes to the center and twirls the plate
on the floor as hard as he can. AS the
plate begins TO spin he speaks some
sentence In which he uses the name Of
one of the toilet articles. and the play
er who has that name must leave his
seat and try to catch the plate before
it stops twirling. If he fails he pays a
forfeit and takes the twirler's place.
If he succeeds he takes the place with
out paying a forfeit.
The plate spinner generally speaks a
sentence like this: MY lady is going
out, and she wants her gloves" The
player whose name is gloves" then
runs to the plate and tries to catch it.
The spinner has a right at any time
to call out the single word 'Toilet"'
and when he does all the players have
to change seats. The one that does not
get a seattle spinner of course. al
ways gets one-must then take the
plate and pay forfeit Forfeits may
be redeemed at the end Of the game.
and this gives a chance for still more
fun.

was nearly q hundred miles In length,

but the engineers found 1t a serious
problem. The ants attacked the nrst
poles set and fairly riddled them, and
the elephants reached up with their
trunks and tore down the wires. So
iron sockets seven feet In height were
used to set the poles in. which circum-
vented the ants. and after a careful
measurement Of the highest reach Of
an elephants trunk the poles were
made tall enough to keep the wires out
