MAY RATE TENNIS PLAYERS.
Plan Being Revived to Great Extent
in England.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-From widely
different sources the question OF rating
lawn tennis players is brought to the at
tention Of the followers OF the sport this
week. In this country the plan to rate
the women is again uppermost. and with
some fair share of securing an equitable
list. After having dropped the matter
OF rating for several seasons, England
appears likely to revive IL. At the last
annual meeting Of the English Lawn
Tennis Association many representative
players expressed views in favor of a
qualifying competition being held with
the object of reducing the number oe
players taking part in the singles cham.
pionship at Wimbledon. The same ques.
ton has been raised In this country.

sort Of small boat whatever living
through such weather. But they will
agree with him in demanding that pre-
cautions be taken in other directions: the
supervision of frequented routes by con-
troll ships, one Of the duties of which
would be to watch the movement of ice
and icebergs; the obligatory use Of
searchlights: a regulation of speeds in
certain conditions, and an increase in the
security afforded by watertight compart-
ments by prolonging them upward to the
deck and by placing them closer to-
gether.
Prof. Laas also sees the passenger ship
OF the future provided with detachable
deck, which at the last moment would
serve as a raft. and be supplied with its
own machinery and wireless apparatus.

BERLIN. May ia new departure in
educating the musical taste of the masses
has just been entered upon by Berlin S
enterprising town council. 1t has voted
an annual subsidy Of $4,000 to the Phil
harmonic Orchestra, Prof. Nikisch's
great organization, in return for which
the orchestra is to give series of forty
public concerts during the coming sum-
mer at popular prices. The best seats are
to cost 80 pfennigs. or ~ cents. Con-
certs will be given alternately in different
sections of the town. and the biggest
halls available will be selected in order
that maximum attendance may be pos
sible. number of performances will
take place in gardens or halls attached
to breweries. Beer. Bach and Beethoven
always go hand in hand at German popu-
lar orchestral concerts, but Gambr!nus
and Apollo will never have met under
such ideal circumstances as at the Koe-
nigsstadt and Friedrichshain Brauerein
in Berlin this year.
Causes of "Knock-Knees."
DIR. Karl Francke, a leading Munich
physician. is evidently Of the opinion that
woman Is quite as much in need Of sar-
torial as of political enfranchisement. He
has been investigating the physical phe-
nomenon known in Germany as * legs
and in America as .'knock-knees." and he
has collected data and reached conclu-
sions which possibly may be of signifi-
canoe for other countries as well as for
his own. On the basis Of a careful and
comprehensive research. he has discover
ed that In the earliest years of childhood
70 per cent Of members Of both sexes
suffer more or less from this deformity,
but that subsequently. although the limbs
OF the males straighten out, those of the
females become more crooked. Thus III
the forty-eighth year of life only per
cent OF men, but no fewer than So per
cent Of women. are the unenvied pos
SCISSORS Of TX legs"
physical structure Of the two sexes Is to
some extent responsible for this dispar-
ity. but he ascribes to 1t quite secon-
dairy influence
The decisive factors, in his opinion. are
exercise and dress.
He found that women who, from in
clination or necessity, do q good deal of
popularity, while exactly in proportion
as they lead inactive and indolent lives
their limbs take on an inward departure
from the perpendicular.
But even more conducive to knock
knees than unexercised muscles Is, in
his belief. modern feminine attire. Close
fitting and heavy skirts. he says, hamper
the gait and force the raised knee in
ward, SO that the shape Of their wear
ers' limbs must inevitably become con-
torted. He winds up his report In the
Munich Medical Weekly with q prophecy
