BASKETBALL PROTEST.
Arguments Heard by Rival Teams in
State Basketball
League.

The protest of the L. D. ;. L. against
the awarding of the game between the
L. D. S. L. and s. Y. L. to the latter
school came up before President Ras-
mussen of the state basketball league
at the Y. Nj c. A. yesterday. Coach
Milne and Coach TeetZel OF the two
schools were on hand to argue the point.
There was considerable disagreement
over the method in which the protest
was sent in and also over the jurisdic
ton of the person who should pass
upon the protest. President Rasmussen
of the state basketball league finally
threw the protest out all together on the
grounds that it had not been properly
filed. The L. D. ). L. appealed to w.
d. Rishel. state arbitrator of the [. l.

CHALLENGE FOR DAVIS CUP
Not Certain, However, That America
Will GO After the
Tronhy.

New York, Feb. 29.-While the American
Lawn TENS association has sent a for
NAL challenge to Australia for the c. IT.
Davis cup. which was won by the Aus
tralians in England last year, it is by no
means certain that a team will go to Aus
tralia to play.
Under the deed of gift of the cup il is
necessary that the challenge be made be
fore March LIST. and the challenge sent
yesterday carried with it an explanation
that it is made simply to qualify and that
it is not certain that a team will go to
Australia. It has been tentatively pro-
posed that the English team, for which
a challenge has also been sent to Aus
tralia, come to America and play the
American team to be selected to play for
the cup. Then only the winning team
would make the trip to Australia.

Washington Navy Yard.

The Monster Weighing Machine In the
Washington Navy Yard.
The biggest scales in the country
are in the navy yard at Washington.
They outweigh the largest railway
scales by tfty tons. The latter are
not to be sneezed at, for they easily
weigh as much as heavily loaded
car. The navy yard scales are SO ac.
eurate that they come within n pound
of the exact weight. Railway scales
are considered good if they come with
in fifty pounds. All the large ord
nance manufactured for the navy is
weighed upon this machine, which Is
some ten years old. The scales look
like ordinary hay scales.
The delicate mechanism is invisible
the most intricate parts being in a
broad pit below the ground. The plat
form is forty-eight feet long and
twelve feet wide. Beneath the power
full machinery is cement base laid
upon long piles. A solid base being
one of the prime requisites of a pow
erful{weishing machine, it was found
necessary TO use pile driver to Sc
cure stable foundation.
The machine is regarded as the fin
est of its kind in the world and is a
splendid achievement of American in
genuity. In order to show the ac-
5curacy of the scales an official picked
up half brick and tossed it upon the
platform. He then consulted long
brass lever and found that the brick
weighed just one pound.
The capacity of the scales is 100
tons. Two twelve-inch guns lying on
a forty-eigllt foot car truck can be
weighed on the machine without tax
ing its capacity.-Washlngton Star.

A LONG DRIVE.
The Expert Lumbermen Of the Cana.

The Export lumbermen Of the Cana.
dian Rivers.
One of the most interesting sights
the new arrival in Canada can strike
Is to witness a log drive on one of the
rivers there. especially should there be
several rapids to navigate.
The expert river man is a clever ath-
lete-clever and nervy as any circus
rider, his steeds probably cutting more
antics than any horse could think Of.
He will jump from one log to another
quickly as they swirl around until he
reaches the one he wants; then he will
make for the center and stand perfect.
ly upright and still, balancing himself
with long pike or peavy, sometimes
running down stream miles without
landing.
He also guides other logs into the
channel in passing. at times jumping
from one to another in marvellous fash
ion. although the logs are twisting and
turning in every direction.
Probably the cleverest piece of work
one could observe out here is when
the logs get jammed in passing the
rapids. Then you see the expert at
his best. He is here. there and every
where until he gets things rs he wants
them, when he will calmly stand and
ride down among the heaving, grind
ing mass as though there were no dan
ger at hand. This scene, so full of ex.
citement, once witnessed could never
be forgotten.-Londo Tit-Bits.

Fresh Air Saves A Doctors Life.

With his life despaired Of by all
the medical authorities Of the city,
and unable because of the dread
loneliness of the Dakota prairies to
remain in the secluded spot whither
he had gone in quest of health
and strength, DR.. L. j. Hilger re.
turned to this city some three months
ago, returned" his friends said "to
die" And yet he has cheated the
grim visitor.
Taken with hemorrhages that
threatened his very existence, un-
able to greet the friends whom
he had returned to see before his
looked for passing to the great be-
yond. the young physician in the
open air cure has found panacee
for his ills and now, with renewed
manhood, in his little pagoda on
Mt. Pleasant avenue, he greets his
friends and laughs heartily as he
tells his remarkable story.
The history of his case is most
peculiar and the story of his re-
covery is remarkable in many ways.
Almost year ago DR.. Hilger COM
menced complaining of an affection
o. the throat and unable himself 10
discover the cause of his i'll health
he summoned to his aid all the
medical talent he could find. The
medical authorities advised an i'm
mediate change of climate. Dakota
was chosen and with his wife
trained nurse, he left for Dakota,
hofing that life on the great open
prairies might bring back to him
his former strength and vigor.
Three months he lived in seclud-
ed section of the state, but his cen
dition did not improve, and he
returned to Dubuque to die He
suffered several hemorrages and
had giving up hope, but concluded
to try the fresh air cure.
Living in the tent, his meals
brought to him from the residence
by his wife, the oxygen began to
build the diseased tissues. The
screens were rarely covered by their
storm-protecting canvas curtains
At night with no protection save the
canvas roof above, the doctor
slept in his open-air house and
gradually the strange life began to
put bloom in his cheeks that had
been foreign to them for overa year
His breathing was seldom stopped
by hacking cough, as it had been
prior to his trial of the open air
treatment. In fact he had become
new man.
Plenty Of sleep, strict attention to
diet, and the careful nursing OF q
devoted wife, together with
undiluted and unstinted fresh air
is making DR.. Hilger a new man
In his few months life out OF doors
he has gained almost 20 pounds in
weight. No vestage of the once
hacking cough now remains.
