ARCADE DUcKPIN LEAGUE.
PATENT EXAMINERS LEAGUE.

Capt. Sherwood. of the Arcades, an
nounCed last night that for convenience
sake, he would transfer his team to one
of the down town alleys. This move
will be appreciated by the members OF
the league as the majority find it more
convenient. The future home of the
Arcade team will probably be the Royal
alleys where the season will be finished.

RESERVE TEAMS
PLAY FAST GAME
Extra Period Necessary for
C. I. and Gallaudet.

A hair-raising basketball contest at
the Kendall Green gymnasium yesterday
afternoon, between the Catholic Univer-
sity freshmen and the Gallaudet Reserves
resulted in a score of q TO ., in favor OF
the Brookland quint, after an extra pc
riod OF minutes to break the tie Of 3
to q at the expiration Of the second
half
The freshmen had the advantage IN
weight and height. and had the best Of
the first half on the Reserves, scoring Il
points to their opponents 10. The East
Side college youngsters came back strong
in the second half, and were in the lead
when a foul was called on them a few
seconds before the expiration Of the
half, and as a result a would-be victory
for the Reserves by 3 to -. turned into
a g to . tie.
An extra period of minutes was
played and the Brooklanders Gagged two
more goals. while Fancher landed only
one for their opponents. Final score, q
to ., in favor of the c. U. freshmen.
Five minutes after the second half Of
the game started Capt Schaefer, OF the
Reserves, had to substitute Foltz for Right
Forward Hughes and johnson for Right
Guard Rockwell, as these two regulars
had to be taken to Baltimore as varsity
substitutes for the game against the Bal
timore Medicos. and this change is claimed
to have handicapped the Reserves team
work and prevented better luck in the
goal-shooting. Hughes played a brilliant
game. and was especially clever in drib-
bling.
Capt. Furey and Lambert played the
best game for the BrookIand five. while
Capt. Schaefer was clever in defensive
playing, and Rockwell. and Moore in all

MAD SCULPTOR" OF NAPLES

Twenty-Five years ago Vincenzo Genlito
was one of the most popular and sue
cessful sculptors in Europe. He began his
work in Naples as a mere boy. and it
was from the ragamuff1ns Of his native
city that he drew his first inspiration.
His Little Fisherman and the Water
Vender'' were hailed with delight by con-
noisseurs throughout the world. Great
things were expected of the sculptor, at
that time not thirty years old.
Then suddenly he vanished from the
public eye. Retiring to his villa beside
the Bay of Naples, he plunged himself in
mystery and silence. Years went by.
He was totally forgotten. Those curious
enough to ask what was the trouble were
told that Vincenzo Gemito had gone mad.
Then. few months ago, the sculptor
suddenly came back into the world.
He is at work again." The news
spread like wildfire through Naples, and
when Genito reappeared there he was
surrounded by throng OF his delighted
fellow-citizens, among whom were scores
of urchins like those who had posed for
his celebrated statues.
King Takes Him Up.
1t seems that, after his first statues,
modelled from the street arabs OF Naples,
won him fame, Gemito's work was
brought to the attention of King Hum
bert and Queen Margherita OF Italy. De-
sirous Of encouraging the young genius
they ordered him to do a statue. There
was great rejoicing in the sculptor's ma
tive city of Naples. To all his friends
it seemed that he had attained the very
pinnacle of SUCCESS
Unfortunately, the King and Queen
turned over the matter of the statue they
had ordered to the directors Of the Art
Academy at Rome. The latter, instead OF
allowing Gemito to do what he pleased,
ordered from him group on an allegori-
cal subject, similar to those of Benvenuto
Cellini.
Gemito set to work. but the task was
wholly beyond him Where his strength
: lay was in the depletion Of the types of
his native city, of the naked, laughing
little boys playing about the beaches bor-
dering the beautiful Bay OF Naples.
Among them he himself had spent I'M

nicipal circles than has the statement
of Magistrate Corrigan that New York
is a crime-ridden and crime-infested city;
that graft is. more rampant in the police
department than in the days of Chief
Devery, and that Mayor Gaynor is d.

that his attempt to run the police de-

chaotic conditions that prevail in the
police department, and for the failure
to detect and punish criminals.

the city profoundly because the average

and who is wise in the ways Of bis

Hospital for Measles.
New York is soon to have the first
hospital in the world built exclusively
to care for cases of measles. 1t is TO
be erected by the city as part of its
great plant for the care Of contagious
diseases, which already includes diph-
iberia and scarlet fever hospitals.
Measles is more prevalent than either
of these diseases. but heretofore the
only places at which cases of II could
DE cared for were in Brooklyn and at
North Brother Island in the East River.
where smallpox and other serious con-
tagious diseases are segregated. The
new hospital will be seven stories in
height and over 200 feet long. 1t will
accommodate 80 patients, and Is to cost

ing is to be thoroughly fireproof. and

fashion that hospital engineering makes
possible. While measles is not usually
considered an alarming ailment. 1t is re-
sponsible for from 100 to 600 deaths in
New York every year. One OF the pur-
poses OF the new hospital is to afford
an opportunity to the experts of the
city's health department to study the
disease, and IL possible TO discover some
means of it's prevention or cure.

they adjourned to the beautiful lawn

ICe-Cream From Sour Milk.

Some half dozen years ago there was
a young, cuIlege-eduCated Dane living
in Sioux City, Iowa, who had a mania
for experimenting with sour milk
drinks. While in college he became
acquainted with the famous theory Of
MetchnikOI that the prolOngatiOn of
life depends largely on the introduce
Lion into the system Of plenty Of the
bacilli found in SOU milk.
Pampered on sweets, however, the
American has a prejudice against the
sweets which have ''Spoiled' and so
hurrieS pellmcll into a grave which
might have been ~barricaded behind a
sour milk can.
This young, inventive Dane was
not slow in discovering another
national tendency. The American
will partake Of things with a relish If
he does not know for sure what they
are. So he set about to doctor up his
sour milk drinks with fruit juices and
tlaVOring extracts, working all the
time toward a beverage which should
contain the hea lthful bacteria with
out the-tO the AmeriCan-unpalat-
able flavor.
1t waS not long until the little
workshop Ufthe Dane was the Mecca
Of men who knew a good thing when
they tasted it. Railroad and travelling
men had a habit Of looking forward
to spending Sunday in Sioux City and
dropping in to see the Dane, and in
cidentally, to guam SOme OF his pleas
ing beverages. They never associated
their better health with the drinks,
but were content to tickle their pa
lates with various and Sundry c0lOred
and Favored connections, the like Of
which nc man, not foreign born, had
ever tasted.
That was the gensis of lacto, the
new frozen dairy product which has
recently come upon the market and
which is nothing more or less than
ice Cream made from sour milk.
Well, that is what several score col
lege professors, college students and
ordinary garden-Variety human beings
in and around AmeS said a few
months ago. And SO Prof. M. Morten-
sen, the young Dane of the Sioux
City experiments, now head of the
dairy department of Iowa State Agri-
cultural College, set about to show
than how lttln thpU ra1llU knpW
about this particular subject. lie set
his dairy students to making laCtu
and he sent it about the campus and
even down town to AmeS for samp-
ling. Some he told, but others he left
in peaceful ignorance. All he asked
was that they take a taste and let
him know, honestly and truly, just
what they thought Of the stuff. This
was the result. Out of l79 persons
who sampled lactO, l2S pronounced it
very good, 81 good, 6. fair and 8 poor.
Comparing it with common vanilla
ice cream, III reported that they pre-
ferred laCto, 9 considered it equal to
ice cream and SO preferred ice cream.
Comparing lactO to shcrbet, l23 per
ferred lactO, 80 preferred shcrbet and
26 considered lacto equal to sherbet.
The Dane was beginning to be vindi-
Gated.
LactO is skinned milk, which has
been SOured by a commercial Tactic

siStency Of ice cream.-From "Ice
