BAD WEATHER STOPS
THE LOCAL SOCCER

NWING to the unfavorable weather
~ that prevailed yesterday the Soc
Ger games scheduled in this
vicinity were called off.

-
In a sea of mud the Clan Mcdonald
eleven, of Brooklyn. held the Hibern-
ians, of Philadelphia, to a 3-goal tie in
the third round of the American cup
competition, at Hibernia Park, in Phil
adelphia. yesterday afternoon.
Although the condition of the ground
was against accurate playing, both
teams put up a good game, and a fea-
ture of the contest was the clev work
Of the McDonald's front line, despite
the act that they were rather weak
in front of goal.
What the Quaker City team lacked
In cleverness it made up in aggressive
ness. Quite remarkable was the fact
that during the game three penalty
kicks were given, two against the
visitors and one against the home team.
The Hibernians failed with both kicks,
but Hoyle was successful for the Nc
Donalds.
Or the Clark A. A. grounds Sunday
afternoon the Alley Boys downed the
Orange United to the tune of 2 goals
to 0. Lyons, Bannon and Berkolm ex-
celled for the winners, while Lee and
Coad played best for the United eleven.

account of the latter playing Fleming,
who, the Scotchmen declare, is not eligi-
BILE to take part in the cur series. he
having played In the New England

The WHEREFORE team of Paterson,
lodged a protest for the same reason
when Tacony defeated them in the cup

ODD FACTS ABOUT DUST.

Dust would not be possible were 1t
mot for the fact that matter is almost
indefinitely Invisible. It has been es-
timated that an average puff of smoke
from cigarette contains about four
thousand millions of particles of dust.
A single grain or indigo will give
color to a ton of water: of course,
says Popular Mechanics, every drop
OF this water must contain an i'm
mense number of ultramicroscop1c
particles OF indigo.
A few grains of fluoresceir, a sub.
stance derived from coal tar. will pro.
duce q distinct fuorescence, shining
with yellowish green light when
strongly Illuminated, in hundred
tons OF water. To produce this result
the fuorescein must be divided into
countless billions Of particles.
Every conceivable substance enters
into the composition of dust. In
street dust may be found bits of iron
and steel from the tires of wagons,
horseshoes and the nails of our own
shoes, bits of leather from harness,
fragments of wood, cotton, silk, stone

CONCERNING MEERsCHAUM

The valuable material from which
meerschaum pipes are made is con-
tinually getting scarcer and the large
industry which has fourished in vi
emma. Budapest, Nuremberg, Paris and
in the Thuringian town Of Ruhla
seems endangered. The manufacture
of meerschaum pipes is much more
important than is generally supposed.
The town of Ruhla alone has been
exporting in round figures pipes to the
value of about s1,500,000 annually.
The finest grade Of meerschaum is
found near Eski-Schelir, in Anatolia,
Asia Minor, in hollow which in early
days was lake in which the meer
schaum was precipitated. Meerschaum
is also found in other places, includ.
ing Thebes, Egypt, the Bosnian
mountains, in the neighborhood OF
Grubschitz, and Nuendorff in Moravia
and in some sections OF Spain and
