on his twenty eighth move, but even at that
time he had the worst of 1t, being a pawn
down. The victory placed Cornell in the
lead
The board at which Sze, Of Pennsylvania,
was pitted against Durfee, of Brown, was
the centre OF interest, and to this interest
the personality OF the Chinaman contributed

fined and affable. but extremely reticent
He played a lively game, sacrificing two
minor pieces for rook and three pawns.
Later on Sze captured two additional pawns
and had. all the better Of II when truce

A Lenend of Mount Omi.

Mount Omi, on the border between western China and Tibet has the long est staircase in the world. On top of the mountain there stands Buddhist temple, around which gather some Of the holiest traditions of that religion and which is made a Mecca to the Chinese. To facilitate the ascent of its slippery sides some 10000 steps have been cut in the mountain, form ing sing.e flight. up which the pill grim tolls. Because of its inaccessi- bility few Europeans have ever visited the spot. but number of travellers have ascended the stairway and are positive that it Is no legendary myth. There is legend that in earlier times the pilgrim was forced to ascend the mountain without artificial aids until the monks conceived the plan of re- quiring every pilgrim who would gain especial benefit of his journey to cut single step.

A STUDY IN FIGURES.
Calculations Necessary to Produce the
 Nautical Almanac.

It may safely be said that no one outside the publishing office mas read the entire Nautical Almanac from be- ginning to end, but each figure of the printed almanac is in the office ex amined twice and read three times.
 The total number of figures exceeds a million but, great as that number is. 1t is trifling compared with the num- Der of figures employed in the calcula- tions, as the almanac figures repre- sent "bare" results only. The moon. for instance, requires for it's calcu- lation more than million and a half of figures, and similarly with other branches of the work. such as the sun, the planets, etc. Contrary to the general opinion. practically every fig ure in the book is fresh from year to year.
 The tables from which nearly all the work is calculated have been original ly constructed from the labors of the astronomical observer and to a large extent from the observations of the sun. moon and planets made at the Royal observatory. Greenwich. Tele scopes and other astronomical appli- ances are conspicuously absent, as the work of the staff is purely mathemati- cal and not observational.-Lond Telegraph

THE KALEIDOSCOPE.
Instrument by Which the Presence of
 Electricity Is Detected.

IiSNtI'Sity IS DeteCted.
 The electroscope is an instrument for the detection of electricity. It depends for its action on the principle that bodies charged with like electricity re- pei, while those charged with unlike electricity attract each other The ordi, nary pith ball suspended on Il silk thread is the simplest form ol the in- strument
 The most common type of electro scope is that devised by Bennett in 17S7 and known as the gold leaf cleo troscope. It consists of two strips of gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus- pended from the lower extremity of a conductor within a glass bottle or jar The upper end of the conductor ter inmates in a ball or a plate in case the instrument is to be used as a condens- Ing electroscope If body charged with positive electricity is brought near the knob of the electroscope the mega tive electricity will be attracted to the knob and the positive repelled to the leaves, which diverge. If now the fin ger Is touched to the knob the positive electricity Is drawn off and the leaves collapse. while the negative electricity is held bound. Removing the charged body, the leaves will diyerge again, charged with negative electricity In this case the instrument can be used to determine the nature of charge of body brought near it, as with posi- tive charge the leaves will collapse and with a negative charge spread farther apart.-Exchange

Naive Ontimists-

"Six months ago there was another
outburst of optimism as naive as
though the world were still living in the
sentimental era of glass exhibitions.
Since then there has opened another
era of political earthquakes and con-
fiagrations, and the area of disturb
ance continues to extend. Before the
Tripoli problem has been safely liquid
ated or the peace Of the Balkans is as
sured, we have the outburst in China
of an Instruction which may change
the face Of the far east and give an
incalculable increase of force to all
the impulses set moving by the tri-
umph of Japan. All We can be certain
o. in the region of world politics is
that nothing is certain. Do we need
further lessons to convince us that
the peace of civilization is founded
upon the crust of volcano?" asks
