MAGIC GLASS.

TTERE is something that the boys ard
n girls may amuse themselves with.
Take an ordinary pane Of glass or %
hand-mirrror that has not been polished just
beforehand. aud on il with your finger trace
the outlines Of n face, or "a ualhe or a
drawing Of any kind. The glass will look
as II it had not been touched, bHt blow
your breath on it aud the tracing viii at
once become visible. For another expert
ment polish the surface of the glass and
lay on it. a coin Of some kind. Remove The
coin after a little while and the glass will
not show any mark ou It, but If you blow
your breath on it the image Of the coin will
appear. All this is due ia the deposit al
gases and fine dust particles on the surface
Of any glass that is exposed to the air fol a
little while.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE OF
SUEZ CANAL BUILDER
How De Lesseps Met the Girl
Who Became His Wife

sir Henry Brackenbury tells in
Blackwood's Magazine the story of
the romantic marriage of M. de Les
seps A Frenchman living in Reunion
was compelled by the illness of his
wife to take her to France. He sailed
with his wife and two young daugh-
ters, but the wife died on the voyage.
Some time afterward the Frenchman
called on M. de Lesseps, told him, of
his misfortunes and of his sufferings
on the long sea voyage, and expressed
the wish to dedicate the remainder of
his life to the furtherance of the con-
struction of the Suez canal. Lesseps
gave him an appointment at Ismalia,
and employment was found in one of
the workshops there for his daughters.
One day Lesseps was visiting the ate
lier, when his attention was attracted
tered into conversation. He came again
the next day, and gave to each of them
a flower saying that they should frame
q wish the last thing at night and
that If in the morning they found the
flowers had opened their wishes would
be granted. Next morning he came
back TO the atelier. and found one of
the girls smiling, the other in tears.
He asked the cause of her sadness. My
Tell me your wish, that. If possible.
1t may be granted" All. to you least
of all men can I tell it," was her an

wish was granted.--We Westminster Ca

RAILROAD TINE TABLE

Over the line in Massachusetts, GER
tain newspapers seem to be consider
ably agitated over the question whether
railroad companies should be COM.
PEELED to publish time tables in the
public prints. AS nearly as can be
ascertained their interest in the sub
jeet is not selhsh--it is rather a small
matter from the counting room point
OF view. But it is contended that the
convenience of people who travel de
mands that they shall be made ac-
quainted with tnin schedules and that
those shedules should appear in the
journals of the day which are within
the reach of all.
1t might be urged that if the rail-
roads do not see fit thus to publish
their tables there should at least be
some law or ordinance requiring them
to invent a guidebook which is intel
ligible to people of only ordinary men
tai ability, WHO are not blessed with
the eyes of eagles The only guide
book or pathfinder that has thus far
come to hand is book which bewil-
ders everybody and guides nobody. a

can be traced 1t is as untranslatable

REDS TRIM WHITES
In A SPIRITED
POLO GAME
New Player From Honolulu
Gets Into Action and
Makes Good Showing
LINEUP

The polo players of San Mateo and
Burlingame are extending the season
longer than ever before. There was
another game yesterday on the Clark
field at San Mateo in which a new
face was seen in Walter Dilnngham of
Honolulu, who played on the winning
side. Dillingham; was mounted on
Driscolls ponies and made a splendid
showing. He is strong and hard
hitter and displays lot of polo form.
The reds took the whites into camp,
but it was by no means a one sided
game. The whites went out and took
the lead up to the end of the third
period. the score at that time being 5
to l in favor of the whites. At the
beginning of the fourth period the reds
took brace and made two goals Then
the whites came through again for one.
That gave the latter the lead. but
the reds. were not to be kept in the
background, and in the fifth period
added two more goals and one in the
sixth. The reds then tried to run up
the score and did some hard riding
and harder hitting. but the whites held
their own and kept the score down.
Breese showed great Improvement
in his game and looks like a good
substitute for the big team. Hobart
and Driscoll played UP to form. both
making several long runs and long
shots for goal. The fields have not
dried up as quickly this year as for
merly and the members of the differ
ent teams have decided TO keep up
the play until after next Sunday. Sew
eral games have been scheduled for
the week.

"KETCH READY FOR
LANGFORD,' SAYS
WEE WILLIS
of Two Worlds Cham
pions Tells How Los An
geIes Match Was Made
By Willis Britt
ISpeeial Diseatch 10 The Calll

NEW YORK, April 25.-Well, the flu
ture light weight champion of the
world has settled with all the knock
ers by agreeing to fight Sam Langford
10 rounds in Los Angeles during Elks
carnival week next July. This should
hold them for a while. 1t will also
go to show that Ketchel is not afraid
of that Boston smoke as many were
led to believe, Ketchel will give black
Sam fine beating, too.
We decided to make this match
when Tom McCarey offered US $4,000
for our end, which is more money than
any fighter in the world ever received
for 10 round exhibition. It's great
offer and we could not afford to over
look 1t. We are on the square, and
IL nothing happens in the meantime
the fight will come off as scheduled
l have never been opposed to
KetchePs fighting Langford, for the
reason that l know he can beat him.
All / was waiting for was a big offer,
and when it came through / decided to
go and get it. Ketchel is not taking
q chance at all. He knows that he
can beat Langferd, and he is going
to make himself wonderful card by
turning this trick
] do not know what Ian Hgferd's share
of the purse will be and ! do not care
am locking after Ketchel and all
want is an even break for him. He is
worth $4,000 for this match, as it will
undoubtedly draw twice as much
money as any other fight ever drew
in Los Angeles. They will come from
all over the country to see it,
The making of this one has some
what upset our plans. Instead of tax
ing ketchel to England l will continue
to show him around the east for a
while, after which I will bring him
to California to train him carefully
for the battle. If Ketchel beats
Langferd he will come close to being
an even money bet when he climbs
into the ring with Johnson next Oc-
tober.
