gold. Muruer Is nothing if 1t gains him the tiniest bit of gold. He works for any kind of money. When he gets enough silver or copper or paper mon- ey he changes it for gold and then hurries with it to his mountain fast nesses. there to hide it. and come back for more. Why be wants 1t is impos- sible to say. No Aurohuaco ever was known to part either with gold dust or gold coin.
 His neighbors. the Talemancas, are wholly different. They regard gold or emeralds. also found in Colombia. as simply medium of exchange for wnis- ky or aguadiente. The Talemanca is superstitious to an absurd degree and wears a wild turkeys foot on neck lace as a talisman against sickness and bad luck. He worships fire as the cleansing and redeeming god.
 In this favored region is plenty of alluviai gold which only needs to be taken out to make the republic of Co lombia rich and powerful. But the Aurohuacos spoil the best laid plans of men who come there to mine. They let men dig and dig and wear their fingers away washing the precious yell low grains out of the earth. and then they murder the miners for their treas ure. This has been done countless times.

Ebbitts and Dreyfus
 Continue Schedule Quarrel Pirate Owner Will Resign at
 Ebbitts Request If the
 Latter Will Do the Same.

Pittsburg, Jan. 15.-tI am willing to resign from the Schedule Committee of the National League providing that President Ebbitts of the Brooklyn team will do the same,'' said Presi- dent Barney Dreyfuss of the Pitts burg Baseball Club yesterday after noon in discussing the Brooklyn Pres ident's suggestion about new mem bers being appointed on the Schedule Com mittee.
 continued Dreyfuss.
 II think one thing regarding the length of the proposed schedule and Ebbitts thinks otherwise. Let us both retire together and permit President Lynch and Secretary Heydler of the League to make up the playing sched- ule. I will promise Ebbitts I won't make any kick on their schedule, even if it is for 500 games.
 My friend Ebbitts seems unduly agitated. I never said anything that should make him become enraged. I simply said I did not like the 16S game schedule that he had drafted. and say so yet. I gave my reasons and they still hold good.
 "Now since there seems to be some trouble or misunderstanding over the matter, let MT. Ebbitts prove himself a sport by accepting my proposition that he withdraw from the Schedule Committee, and I will do the same. There is no chance of my withdraw ing and allowing Ebbitts to sit in there with his long-schedule ideas-not a chance"

Dew Water,

The ancient dew ponds" of England have their modern counterparts on the rock of Gibraltar. where drinking wa ter is obtained by the condensation of the abundant dew in specially prepar- ed basins The primitive process con- sists in making hollow in the ground and filling the bottom with dry straw. over which is placed layer of clay. On a clear night the clay coOls very rapidly. and the dew is condensed into water in the basin. The pond is im- proved by putting layer of asphalt or portland cement under the straw. At Gibraltar the present practice is to use wood instead of straw and sheet iron instead of clay.

THE EARTH AS A MOON.
Our World as 1t Appears to Venus and
 Our Own Moon.

Our World as It Appears to Venus and
 Our Own Moon.
 If we could be transported to the planet Venus peculiar set of views could be obtained of our earth which would enable us to see ourselves. to some extent at least. as others see us. Venus is about the same size as the earth. is somewhat closer to the sun and has more atmosphere than the earth. When the earth and Venus are nearest together they are. of course. oD the same side of the sun. and in cOnse quence of this the earth does not see more than very small part of the Venus illuminated. but Venus. on the other hand. sees all of one side of the earth illuminated and consequently is able to claim she has something that takes the place of moon anyhow. for the earth to Venus at this time looks very large and bright. almost as much SO as our moon does to us.
 If we could see all the illuminated surface of Venus on these occasions we should have quite distinct sec ond moon. When we do see all of Der illuminated surface she is on the Op- pOsite side of the sun from us and con- sequeDtly at an enormous distance. yet she is so brilliant as to keep us from seeing her surface distinctly.
 But to our own moon we appear in the best light as moon. A full earth as seen from the moon. according to Professor Todd and other astronomers. is very inspiring sight on the moons surface. It can at once be seen why this is necessarily true. The earth is several times larger than the moon and would appear in the heavens as disk about fourteen times the size of the moon. It would shine with prob ably variable light. due to the shift ing clouds on the earth. though the light. of course. is reflected from the sun, and the reflecting is done in part by the upper surfaces of the clouds.
 The outlines of the continents of the earth appear very clearly to the moon as if they were formed of papier mache on a globe. Cities of compara- lively large size could be made out with ease in case people were there to make them out. The intensity of the reflected earth light would be as much as fourteen moons and would enable the Seienites. if such they are. to read or work in comparative day light.-St. Louis Republic.

BELIEVED THAT FORDHAM
 WILL ABOLISH FOOTBALL,

Washington, Jan. 15.-It is reported here that, regardless of any changes which may be made in football play ing rules for the season of 1910 Ford ham University, of New York. will abolish the gridiron game for at least one year.
 Georgetown abolished the game after the death of Halback Christian in the game with the University of Virginia, and the action of the Fordham author- ities does not come as a surprise. Last month the committee on athletics of the twelve big eastern Jesuit col leges met and decided that the playing rules would have to be changed and even then there was a certain indica- tion present that several of the institu- tons might place the embargo on the game. Holy Cross may follow the lead of Fordham and Georgetown.

HARVARD TO PLAY TIGERS
Game at Princeton--Dartmou Stays on
Both Schedules.

New Haven. Ct. Nov. 2l-It was
stated on the best of authority Satur-
day that Harvard and Princeton have
signed an agreement to meet in football
next fall This is significant The Tigers
have not played the crimson since 1896,
and that year and the year previous
Princeton won. The game next fall viii
be played at Princeton, N. j.. and the
year after that at Cambridge. The agree
ment WAS practically reached Saturday
afternoon by representatives OF the Har-
ward and Princeton football associations.
Ii had been supposed that in the event
of a Princeton-Harvard game both would
drop Dartmouth, but this viii not be
the case. Harvard win drop Cornell and
the Princeton game will be played on
the date Cornell has enjoyed for the past
two years.
Cornell is no drawing card at Cam
bridge, while Dartmouth is; Harvard
does not care to part with Dartmouth
and Dartmouth would hate to miss the
heavy returns from the Cambridge game.
Drawing cards count on schedules, and
for this reason Princeton will keep Dart
mouth on its list. 1t may be that Prince
ton win agree to play Dartmouth in New
England next fall, probably near Bos
ton, but that matter has not been def
nitely decided upon. Dartmouth Prince
ton matches have been close in late years
and the green Is the only team outside
Of Yale that is able to beat the crimson
once in a while. In the last seven years,
Dartmouth has scored 81 points to Har-
