A Balloon Railway.

Hochstauffen. near Bud Reichenhall.
in Germany, will soon have one of the
most peculiar railways in the world.
1t will run up steep mountain side
and will be operated by a balloon.
The mountain is so steep that no or.
binary way of locomotion would do,
so it has been planned to hitch a bal
loon to the car that makes the up trip
and have it practically lift the car
to the top of the hill. But the car
will be held to the earth by clamps
that will hold the wheels close to the
rails, and the upward tendency Of the
balloon will furnish the power. The
big bag Of gas will be 'sixty-seven
feet in diameter and will have a lift
ing capacity Of about 10000 pounds.

favorite Dishes.

A woman who enjoys having
friends to lunch OF dinner has the
happy faculty of hitting on just the
things her guests enjoy eating. For
some years she has made it a point
to jot down the favorite dishes of this
friend or that in a tiny note book in
her desk. When her cousin Molly is
coming to lunch she looks up her
name, and there finds recorded that
the aforesaid Molly is particularly
fond Of custard desserts of any kind;
clam is her favorite soup, and in
meats she dotes on anything cooked
en- casserole. With these hints
spread before her the matter of plan.
ming q meal is considerably simpli-
led.
Another friend has often said she
never tastes such pies as are served
by her hostess; another likes tomatoes
in any form, and still another prefers
fish to meat
The guests little know that they
themselves have at some time given
the hint "a to their nkings.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Track athletes

most popular outdoor fall sports. There
was a time when little attention was
paid to this branch Of athletics. but
such is not the case now. College men

different university teams are working

during the whole time. though he was
not allowed to carry the ball much, as
the coaches wish to give him q chance
to get the muscle bruise on his leg
entirely well, but the other backs, Nc
Reavey, Sowell, and Rodes were used to
about the same extent. and all carried
the ball well.
During the thirty-fve minutes three
touchdowns We're made against the
scrub, and in addition Dalton kicked two
field goals from placement. Realizing
that the season had gone far enough
without the backfield letting itself out,
the coaches spurred the backs on to
fierce football yesterday, and found
them a most willing lot of pupils. 1t
was clearly demonstrated that there is
tremendous power In the backfield, and
that 1t is also capable Of considerable
speed.
A feature of the Navy backs this year
is that all of them are men Of unusual
strength. Captain dalton is husky,
powerful man, while Mis- sidemate, Nc
Reavey, is a strong, rawboned fellow
weighing about 1870 pounds. The weight
Of Fullback Rodes and Quarterback
Sowell is about 165 pounds each. Rodes
has plenty of strength, but Sowell Is
one of the best developed men the
Academy has ever had. 1t is par

and every effort will be made from now
on to develop its offensive game.

PRINCETON. N. j., Nov. l.-With
but four days more to prepare for the
game with Harvard OH Saturday. the
Tiger tutors put their charges through
the hardest kind of a scrimmage here
yesterday. In The forty-five minute
period the varsity showed some i'm.
provement on the offense and managed
to score two touchdowns on the scrub,
De Witt and Baker carrying the ball
ever. AS usual. however. the scoring
was due mainly to the individual work
of the backiield. and team work was
not in evidence. 1t ;s this lack OF ma
chinelike playing, such as is shown by
the Harvard and Yale elevens, that is
worrying coaches and undergraduates
alike.
