SAVAGE ATHLETICS.
Canary Islanders Who Would Have
Made Good Ball Players.

In this age of athletics one might
think that no people ever showed so
much interest in feats of muscular
might and skill as those who have per-
fected football. but modern games,
and even the games Of the Greeks at
Olympia. may have been more than
matched by the sports of peoples now
held in light esteem. We have the ac-
counts of excellent authorities for the
contention that the athletic training of
Canary islanders makes even the col
lege giants Of today seem weak and
effeminate.
These islands came into subjection
to Spain about the time Columbus dis
covered America The conquest was
due solely to the superiority of Euro
pean weapons and not to better skill
and prOwess. Native soldiers were
trained athletes developed under a sys-
tenn that held athletic sports to be an
important business. like military drill.
Spanish chronicles have left accounts
Of sports Of the islanders. From baby
hood they were trained TO be brisk in
self defense As soon as they could
toddle the children were pelted with
mud balls that they might learn how
to protect themselves. When they were
boys stones and wooden darts were
substituted for bits of clay.
In this rough school they acquired
the rudimcnts Of warfare which en-.
ablcd them during their wars to catch
in their hands the arrows shot from
their enemies crOSSbowS
After the conquest of the Canaries a
native Of the islands was seen at Sc
vile who. for n silver piece. let a man
throw at him as many stones as he
pleased from Il distance Of eight PAGES.
Without moving his left foot he avoid
ed every stone
Another native used to defy any one
to hurl an orange at him with so great
rapidity that he could not catch it.
Three men tried this. each with dozen
oranges. ard the islander caught every
orange AS further test he hit his
antagonists with each of the oranges

CORN CLUB PICNIC.
Boy Farmers and Their Friends En-
JOY Day at Wcdgefield.

Dalzell, r. f. D., July Tn be-
half Of the Boys Corn Club, 1 wish
to publicly thank the people Of
Wedgefeld for the delightful way in
which they entertained the Club and
their friends. 1t rained, as you know
how it can rain on the Fourth, but
1t did not dampen the ardor of those
enthusiastic people. Long will the
boys and the friends of the Club re-
member the way in which the peop e
of Wedgeheld acquitted themselves.
Mr.. Fl. Lee Scarborough, men,
ber of the executive committee of the
Corn Club" delivered an address
which was delightfully."- interesting to
the grown people and 1t should have
stimulated the boys present, to their
best effort in preparing themselves
for their life work.
The business part of the meeting
was then taken up and it was ex-
planned how the land should be
measured and under what rules the
corn should be gathered. For the
benefit of the boys who were absent
these rules will be published later.
After a sumptuous dinner and after
the rain, a game Of ball was played
between the st. Charles and Wedge
field teams. Rain interfered and the
game was called in the middle of the
fifth inning with Wedgefield in the
lead. j. Frank Williams

What Is friction really caused by? 4?
Why will two things in contact not
slip over each other easily? 1t is be-
cause every substance known to science
has teeth: microscopic. it Is true. but
still teeth. The result, then, Is OBJ
vtOus. II we shove book across a
table the teeth of the book interlock
with the teeth of the table just as cog
wheels do. and the push has to be
strong enough either to bend them
enough or to break them of for the
motion to continue.
1t has actually been observed in a
microscope that If the push is only a
slight one and moves the book only q
short distance. - the pressure Of the
hand being removed the book actually
Jumps back to it's former position
This action Is slight bending Of the
two sets Of teeth, only not far enough
for them to lose their relative posi-.
lions. and their elasticity on being re-
leased makes the book fly back.
It has been shown that this friction

les as between bodies Of the same ma.
terial. One industrial application of
this Is the bearings for steel axles
They are made Of brass instead Of
steel.
In some things we want as much
friction as possible and In others as
little. The former Is illustrated in the
friction between an engine wheel and
the track. sand sometimes being pour
ed on the track to increase the friction
The latter case is illustrated in all
bearings where rotating metal is in
contact with stationary metal. some.
times ball bearings being substituted.

THINK THEY HAVE WESLEY.


San Francisco, April 15,-In the
person of man who gave the nante
of Carl Wagner, who was arrested
at Ocean Beach today on charge
of carrying concealed weapons, the
local police declare that they have
secured Charles ]. Weller, who is
wanted in Portland, Ore, on the
charge of having murdered his dl-
vorced wife's mother, Mrs. Schulz.
Wagner denied that he is Weller
but the police insist they made no
mistake in his Identification.
Mrs. Schulz was lured from her
home by decoy note, about two
weeks ago and attacked on lonely
road where she was beaten to death.
A messenger boy who delivered
the note later identified a photo.
graph of Weller as that OF the man
who gave him the message to de-
liver.
The Portland authorities have
been notified and a reply from them
is being anxiously awaited.
When Wagner was arrested, he
was loading a revolver.

Funeral Of Mrs. Mamie Gautenbein.

Funeral of Mrs. Mamie Gautenbein.
Last night the gentle dews fell
upon another little mound in the
cemetery-fllin the chalices of the
beautiful flowers which covered it,
with tears. Under them lies the
form OF one who, but a few short
days ago, a tender mother and low
ing wife made glad her home. One
whose busy hands ministered to those
she loved. Whose unfailing sympa
thy and gentle womanliness made
all who knew her, her friends, al
ways. The long cortege, that sor-
rowing, paid the last tribute the liv-
ing may pay to the dead, gave elo-
quent testimony to the esteem in
which she was held, and the great
bank of beautiful flowers that COW
cred the dull earth that pressed her
coffin lid, spoke, though silent, in
the mute language of sorrow and of
bereavement. With solemn SER
vices and deep toned music that
came resonant from full hearts, the
last farewell was said, the mound
covered with flowers, and she was
left to wait the judgment morn.
The sun this morning shone down
upon the new made grave and the
tears left by the dew were slowly
wiped away. Thus it will be to
those who mourn. Time cannot
make us forget, but even as it
smoothes the rugged and stormshot
battlefield, and covers the scars with
verdure, so does it soften the poig-
nancy of grief.
