A Lock Detached.

of which Is the invention Of a means
for detching the locks by the raising
OF small thumb lever sunk into the
plate as Illustrated herewith 1t Is in
teresting to note that the thumb-lever
Is connected with a spring-operated
catch inside the lock which acts very
much In the same manner as an or
binary latch. The insertion of the
thumb-nail unlocks the plate and al
lows 1t to be removed by the lifting
of the external lever, and the reverse
operation OF restoring 1t Is effected by
pressing it home into its place. In
the Lang usual gun the cockinglever
does not carry the ordinary lifting
spring. If the mechanism were left
IN Its usual state a detachable lock
such as this Is might leave the owner
doubtful as to the proper position of
the cocking-lever when shutting up
the lock home into place, and If not
forewarned he might put the lock
home again with the cocking-lever in
the wrong position. Messrs. Lang
have, accordingly. made 1t impossible
to put the locks home again In any
other position but the right one.

spring which keeps 1t pressed down

CHuRN WITH WALKING BEAM.
Relic Of War Of 1912, Made to Shake
Goats Milk, over One Hundred
Years Old.

Richard II. Maunder OF Sheheld'
Mass, possesses what is probably the
Queerest churn in the country; IN
fact, a number of expert judges OF an
Equities have pronounced 1t to be
positively unique.
The churn was formerly owned by
the late Capt. Alexander Robinson OF
Hudson, N. Y, who was famous
skipper and conspicuous figure dur
ing the war of 1872. 1t was made to
churn goats milk on shipboard, and is
over one hundred years old
The churn has two small barrels OF
wood in which the plungers are oper-
ated by a sort Of walking beam ar
rangement, alternately. like the en-
CINE Of a steamboat These are put In
motion with a crank which revolves
large pulley, this communicating
the power by means of a belt to a
smaller wheel, which in it's turn oscil-
lates the walking beam at high rate
OF speed. The barrels do not hold
more than four quarts Of milk, but
so rapidly do the plungers work that
butter Is formed as if by magic.
Capt. Robinson was a great col
lector of curios himself and had odd
and rare things from nearly S every

SYRIAN WORK MUCH IN FAVOR
popular Type Of Embroidery That Is
without Rival in Conventional
Designs.

A type of embroidery that is sne-
clally adapted to conventional designs
IS the Syrian work, that gives an ef-
fect OF overlapping scales. The de-
signs which are stamped for this EN-.
oroldery are divided into sections by
INES running at regular intervals
across the scrolls and other figures.
The method of working is botb
simple and rapid. The sections are
nlled In with filling cotton and then
worked In satin stitch following the
growth OF scroll. Three sides of sec.
tion are then outlined so that the

PICTURES IN NATURAL coLoRs

One would think that with the in

Is, however, quite different thing to
make a color plate for ordinary size
and apply the same principle and
methods to flexible Aim 100 or more
feet long, and the latter feat has not
yet been accomplished. Colored cine

MONROVlA TO PLAY
DOWNEY BALL TEAM
If Victors, Suburban Nine viii Contest
with Compton to See Which
One Will Secure Cham
pionshlp

The Monrovia baseball team will
meet the Downey team Saturday in the
last league baseball game of the sea-
son. Should the foothill players win,
and according to past performances
they figure hot favorites, they will play
Compton for the interscholastic cham
pionship, suburban division. Monrovia
will send her regular lineup into the
field, and feels reasonably confident of
winning. AS the game has been ad-
vertised extensively arrangements have
been made to accommodate an eXcep-
tionally large crowd.
Should MonroVia defeat the DoWney
boys every effort will be made to win
the championship game from Compton.
The game will be played on neutral
grounds, probably at Occidental.
Compton defeated Monrovia in a
closely contested game a few weeks
ago by the score of 2 to 1. Both runs,
however, were made in the first inning
and due to a wild throw on the part of
the Monrovia players. The game Sat
urday will be played on the Monrovia
grounds.
Following is the lineup for Monrovia
Cheney, catcher; Crandall, pitcher;
Harvey, first base; Boyd, second base;
Renaker, third base; Shepard, short
stop; Dismukes, left field; Brown, CEN
ter field; Schultze, right field.

CALIFORNIAN TO GO
TO RUGBY MEETING
Governing Body of Old Game of Foot
ball VIII Make Several
Changes in the
Rules

Next week the Rugby Football union
holds its annual meeting in London.
The California Rugby Referees union
will be represented. This is the first
time in the history OF Rugby that an
American union has been represented
at the governing body's sessions.
George Harnett, who managed the
Anglo Welsh team which tourned Aus
tralia, will represent the California
union. 1t is probable at this meeting
a number of changes will be MADE IN
the rules, and If so these changes Will
affect the rules here.
The New Zealand union has proposed
several alterations. Some of them are
drastic and will tend to make the game
much faster and even more open than
at the present time
The principal suggestions are as fol-
lows
1. That the game be played in four
spells of twenty minutes each, with an
interval.
2. In every case where the referee
orders a scrimmage he shall himself
put the ball into the scrimmage.
8. A special provision that will abol-
ISL the wing forward.
4. In all cases of free kicks and
kicks at goal the opposite side shall not
charge the kicks.
5. In the lineouts the ball must be
thrown at least five yards from the
touch lines.
The second suggestion brings the
game back to where it was several
years ago, and in this particular it is
a splendid thing. 1t is seldom player
puts the ball in fairly. He is inclined
at certain times to twist the ball for
the benefit of his own side.
Suggestion is one which should APP
peal strongly to Los Angeles Rugby
footballers. The wing forward is a
New Zealand creation. All the Rugby
unions of the world have tried it out,
but New Zealand is the only one to
stick to it, and now that country is
satisfied to drop it. There will be no
| opposition to this suggestion at all.
The fifth suggestion is one which will
open the game up considerably and will
do away with lot of lost time.
