THIS respect, we may note in passing,
the parochial schools are in advance
of the big universities, where it is no
uncommon thing for dozens of students
to cut" lectures to take in ball games
In all the league schools the games
and practice periods are held after class
hours. The result is general satisfac-
ton, particularly on the part Of teach-
ers and parents.
Not the least valuable result Of the
athletic interest aroused by the Cath
olic Schools athletic league is the soc-
ability it cultivates among the schools.
1t brings both teachers and pupils to-
gether. The contending athletes, find
ing that their opponents are foemen
worthy of their steel, get to know and
like each other Parents and friends,
to say nothing of big sister, get the
habit of attending interschool games,
and so unconsciously have their horizon
widened and their range of interests en-
larged The league has been fruitful
of harmony, sociability and better un-
derstanding
Space forbids us to set down here
the details of any of the athletic meets
held by the league and the names of
successful parochial school athletes. As
many as 500 boys have taken part in
the indoor meets of the league, and the
number of schools represented in the
organization Is steadily on the in
crease. On this side of the bay there
are st. James, st. Ignatius grammar, st.
Anthony's, Sacred Heart grammar, st.
Patrick's, Star of the Sea. St Peters,
st. Joseph's and St Francis. In Ala
media county there are st. Joseph's in
stitute, st. Francis de Sales. ST. An
thongs, st. Josephs parochial, Sacred
Heart, st. Elizabeth's and st. Mary's.
All these schools have teams entered in
either division of the present baseball
tournament.

First Wild Animals Trained for
n Csrrs.c
a Circus

Just 102 years ago q man named
George Wombell started the first show
of wild animals. Trained monkeys and
dogs and even trained bears had been
known before in Europe, but lions and
tigers had never before been conquered
to such al extent that they were the
daily companions of the trainer. In
those days people knew less about the
habits of the Asiatic and African wild
animals than they do now. Importing
such animals was much more expensive
than it is today George Wombell had
imported two young lions from Africa.
When they arrived they were very
weak, having suffered from seasickness
and from neglect In order that the
animals should not die Wombell gave
one man charge of them, so that he
might care for them day and night, BY
feeding the young lions properly every
day and keeping them warm and clean,
as well as doctoring their unclean sores
which had been caused by their un-
clean quarters on board ship, the man
soon became a favorte with the ami
mails. Associating with the beasts so
continually made the man so fond of
his charges that he was unwilling to
give up his new friends. Wombell
thought it would be quite a novelty to
exhibit the man in the cage with the
beasts as a lion tanner. When this was
done thousands came to see the won
derful person. From that time on wild
animal training became part of every
circus. Now trainer can make a great
number of lions perform at the same
time, Even tigers and elephants are
taught to obey commands and master
difficult tricks.

Weighing Pencil Mark

On one of the smallest pairs of
scales ever made for use in the open
air California jeweler has weighed
the soul of fly and pencil mark.
At least, he has found the difference
in weight between the body of living
fly and of the same fly dead. This he
has chosen to call the soul of the fly,
though more cynical observers have
declared the difference is but the
weight of the gases which escaped
from the body of the dead insect.
The scale works within a watch
case and its dial is in the face of the
watch, marked off into what it's in
ventor, j. L. Liebler calls degrees"
Each one of these degrees represents
a weight of one four million nine hun
dred thousandths of an ounce. The
difference between the weight of a fly
living and dead fiy-i. e., the weight
of the fiy's soul--was y23 of these de-
grees. Several flies were weighed un-
der similar circumstances, and all
showed exactly the same difference in
weight between life and death.
The scale works on the tension prin-
ciple. Inside there is a scale, and in q
glass arm extending from one side of
the dial there is a balance. The oper-
ator screws the delicate spring up to a
point where the object in the pan of
the scale just balances and then reads
the pointer on the dial. The spring is
more delicately adjusted even than the
finest watch and the whole instru-
ment requires as great care as the
finest chronometer.
Taking a slip of paper and weighing
1T, Liebler will then make short mark
with pencil on the paper and,
weighing II again, find exactly the
weight of the mark made by the lead
in the pencil. A mark precisely a
quarter of an inch in length made with
an ordinary soft pencil weighed just 45
degrees more than the soul of the fly.

ROBERT j. FLYNN,
Secretary st. Peters Athletic Associa-
ton

There is a subject in which one can
always interest the lads of st. Peters
school and that subject is athletics.
Be 1T baseball, basket ball, field sports,
anything which goes to the making Of
athletics, there never is lack OF en-
thusiasm, and on track and on field
they have proven their ability to do
the right thing at the right time.
AS demonstration of their ever in
creasing improvement one has but to
take note of the first indoor meets Of
the G. S. A. l.. In these meets st.
Peters figured about eighth netting
only eight points. In the outdoor meet
they Were less one point of the previous
meet, bringing home only seven points
But 1t was then that the boys of ST.
Peters realized what it was to have
the honor of their school resting upon
their shoulders, for in the last indoor
meet they rose to second place, giving
the first place school hot contest
besides winning two relay cups.
Class meets are often held by the
school boys, and from these good ma
terial is selected for the track team
In these meets the clergy and the
brothers of st. Peters offer cups and
prizes as inducements for the boys to
keep up their practice. But for these
boys there is seldom need of induce
ments, for they work well together
with will to do honor to their colors.
After winning the San Francisco
basket ball championship Of the c. S. A.
L., two hard and bitterly fought games
were played with the champion five of
the Oakland branch of the c. S. A. L.,
when the mettle OF the green and gold
boys was again tested satisfactorily
The baseball tournament has just
opened for the season, the first game
being played between st. Peters and
St, Patrick's, the ST. Peters players
winning by the score of 26 TO 0. An
other outdoor meet is TO be held April
20, and all who know the boys OF St
Peters school feel confident that they
will distinguish themselves and their
sehoci I'm the future as they have in the
past.

Crime in the United Kingdom costs
the state about $S0,0Oe,0O0 a year. II
that sum, DR.. Wilson thought, could
be spent instead on the careful nur-
ture of the poor during the first 10
years of their lives the national benefit
that would accrue would be immense.
It would be a mistake, however, to
suppose that drink was the only
cause of crime. The aristocrats
among the criminal classes had to alb.
stain from drink in order to carry out
their most daring schemes.
Speaking on the subject of heredity
and environment in the development
OF criminal instincts, DIR. Wilson
pointed as an object lesson to the

ways came out on top. while the al

HE is just as simple and as unaf-

LOOK OUT FOR
BAD DOLLAR BILL

Notices have been sent to banks all
over the country, of the appearance
of an unusually dangerous counterfeit
one dollar bill, SO skilfully done that
it can be detected with difficulty even
by an experienced eye.
The description states that one OF
the conspicuous things about the
counterfeit is that the portraits OF
Lincoln and Grant are printed mucn
darker than on the genuine, and that
the Lincoln portrait gives the Eman-
cipator a peculiarly cadaverous ap-
pearance. The words United States
near the Lincoln portrait are not fully
formed
On the back of the note there is an
absence of the light lines which in
the genuine bills shape the curves,
and this produces a dull, slate col.
ored appearance. The back plate
number, 2,344 or 2,S44, which is ap
parently done by hand, is not per.
fectly perpendicular. The front plate

The relationship between intoxicat.
ing drink and crime, the lecturer went
on, is one of the saddest subjects

about 100000 persons are arrested

FIGHTS

NIT NEED OF RADICAL
REFORMS.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Disapproval
of corners" and possible censorship
of market letters figured in yester-
days hearings Of the opposition to
the anti-option bills before the house
committee on agriculture. The ethics
of corners and market letters sent
broadcast were discussed by President
White of the Chicago board of trade
He disapproved of corners as wrong"
detrimental to exchange and disturb
ing to business" and added, "the men
who have been successful in corners
can be counted on the fingers"
White said the Chicago board had
lately considered an amendment de-
signed to prevent corners and penaliz-
ing anybody defaulting on obligations
to deliver. The change was voted
down on the contention it might i'm
pair the sanctity of contracts. 81
think" he added, that the sentiment
is getting to a point where something
along that line will soon be adopted"
would you regard it an evil to
seek to induce outsiders to speculate
On the board?" asked Chairman Scott.
Mr.. Scott read a market letter from
member of the Chicago board, which,
according to the chairman, was a
"palpable bid for speculative business
by which lambs were induced to come
into the fold to be sheared"
1.-The market letter question" re-.
piled White, "has never been formally
discussed, but has been talked over
informally"
Il would not myself write such a
letter as that. I defer to Merrill, who
knows more about that point
Vice President Merrill, of the Chi,
cago board, said there was a very
general sentiment among members of
the board that it was time that ex.
changes, to maintain their high repu-
tation for integrity, Should exercise
some censorship over letters going
out from our members"
White contended that there is no
future trading in beef because beef
did not lend itself readily to such
transactions, being so perishable; that
the price of hogs, pork and lard are
largely based On future quotations
that buying futures by spectators
forced prices up and that the packers
were holding the bag" in the matter
of the higher price of hogs.
The. farmers, he insisted, were get.
ting their full share of the high
prices of hogs, and the consumer he
admitted, was getting his full share
of the burden of high prices.

FOURTEEN INJURED
IN TRAIN WRECK
BROKEN RAIL CAUSES DISASTER
ON NORTHWESTERN NEAR
GREEN BAY.

Green Bay, Wis, Feb. 20.-The
Northwestern road passenger train
No. 2, running between Ishpeming
and Chicago, was wrecked at ILLS
O'Clock yesterday morning and the
whole train was derailed. No one was
killed but fourteen passengers were
more or less injured. 1t Is miraculous
that some were not killed or more
seriously injured. No bones were
broken, however, and the injuries are
not of serious nature. Several bad
gers were passengers.
The cause of the wreck is believed
to have been broken rail. The
tracks were torn up for two miles.
Two of the sleepers were telescoped
and the smoking car was hurled 400
feet away from the right of way. The
other cars We're smashed and are piled
up in a mass of twisted iron ana
shattered timber.
The train was made up of four sleep
ers, one baggage and one express car,
mail car and two day coaches.
The injured passengers were nearly
all in the sleepers en- route to points
in Illinois and were unable to find
some of their garments in the dark
ness and were forced to escape III
their night clothes. The thermometer
registered 10 degrees below zero.
Resume Their Journey.
Some of those who were less serl-
ously injured resumed their journey
later during the morning and all OF
the other passengers have left the city
since the wreck except several of the
injured who are at st. Vincent's hos
pital. All of the injured passengers
were taken to the hospital.
The right of way is blocked and
wrecking trains from Green Bay and
Escanaba are at work now clearing
the track. 1t will be late in the day
and probably not until tonight before
the main line is again open for traffic.
The road Is sending trains over the
Gillett line to Oconto, making a de-
lay of perhaps two hours.
List of Injured.
The injured passengers are as fol-
lows:
Tony Wasunas, Chicago, hip ana
knee injured.
w. J. Dalton Escanaba, back and
hip injured
James King, Depere, head cut
]. A. Hilger, Chicago, shoulder In
jured.
c. M. McDermott, Iron River, back
hurt.
F. C. Dietrich, Green Bay, arm and
shoulder injured.
Mrs. T. p. Culman, ankle sprained
F. d. Pixley, Chicago, back and hip
injured.
E. E. Raymer, Kokomo, Ind, leg
bruised.
John Eppinger, Oshkosh, and Orison
Schlitz, Shawano, slightly bruised
One of the sleepers was overturned
and had to be broken open to get the
passengers out.
Train No. 10, southbound, which
would have met No 2 at Green Bay,
went to the scene of the wreck and
all of the passengers were taken
aboard and brought to this city.
