CAST OF 4 DEATH STRUGGLE

In the museum of Algiers there is one object which is unique in the worlds list of curiosities. It. is a plaster cast of the martyr Geronimo in the agony of death. The Algerians put Geronimo alive into a soft mass of concrete which presently hardened into a block and was built into fort.
 This was in 1869 and about forty years later Spanish writer described the event and told exactly hoy that particular block could he located. The fort stood for nearly three hundred years. Then in 1863 it was torn down. the block was identified and broken open and an almost perfect mould of the dead martyr was found within.
 They filled the mould with plaster and the result, wonderful cast, lies there in the museum today, face down as he died. hands and feet bound and straining. head twisted to one side in the supreme torture of that terrible martyrdom.
 Tt is grewsome. fascinating thing" writes Albert Bigeiow Paine in Outing, and you go back to look at it more than once and you slip out between times for breath of fresh air. If l lived in Algiers and at any time should sprout little bud of dis content with the present state of af- fairs-a little sympathy with the sub jugated population-I would go and take look at Geronimo and forth with all the discomfort and sympathy would pass away and l would come out gloating in the fact that France can crack the whip and we of the west can ride them down"

ON THE GRIDIRON.
Some Tactics Which Can't Be Found
 in the Football Guide.


 In the fall of 1899 Young. the Cornell quarterback. received a bad bump on the head during the first half of one of the early games and was so dazed that he gave the signal for the same play-a tackle buck-eight times in succession.
 The rival eleven. unable to compre- hend such generalship. or rather lack of it, became just as bewildered as the injured quarterback. writes Walter Camp in Outing. and in the effort to understand the uninteIligible let the Cornell backs through for quick touchdown.
 The calling out of numbers while the opposing quarterback is trying to give his team the signal for the next play has resulted in numerous tangies. In one of the recent army and navy contests. the quarterback of the latter eleven became so confused in one in- stance when the army players were shouting out various numbers while he was trying to direct the next play that he, actually gave his men one of the series of numbers the army men were suggesting. The incomprehensible signal and the subsequent mixup may be better imagined than explained.
 On the the Yale squad in 1906 there was a man who was not only good player but an excellent comedian. It is told of him that more than once he put this gift to good account in game. An amusing remark here. 8 bit of story there. then q touch of burlesque. and his rival in the line would forget for tine moment that football is too seri- ous a matter for laughter. It is un- necessary to add that the comedian was never so interested in his own dramatic efforts as to fail to take advantage Of their effect on the other man.
