~ SPEED OF SOUND
An Easy Method of Judging the Dis
tance Ii Travels.

There is an old saying that if you
can count five between the fash and
the thunder you are safe. Modern
science tells us that if you can see the
flash at all you are safe. because If it
struck you you would have no time to
see it. The speed of lightning is about
$50 times that of sight
The old idea was that If you could
count five the storm was mile away.
which was considered a safe distance
Sound travels at the rate Of LAP feet
q second, or about a mile in five sec
onds. In order to count seconds ac-
curately many photographers start by
saying to themselves: NO one thou
sand. one one thousand, two one thou
sand. three one thousand" etc. This
gives about the right space between
each count of one, two. three, etc. If
you stop at the number of seconds you
want to time. With a little practice
with a watch beside you this is &C.
curate up to half a minute or more.
If you see a steam whistle blowing
and note the instant it stops you can
count the seconds until you lose the
sound. and by allowing a fifth Of a
mile for each second you can judge the
distance. The same is true Of guns,
or an explosion, or even of hammering
or any loud sounds.-New York Press.

Score of So to 0.

Strength and Ability Of Rock Island
ers Tell as Game Proceeds,
However.

The apparently unbeatable lnde-
pendents added another scalp to their
belt yesterday afternoon when they
walloped the Moline West Ends So to
at Island City park before the big
gest crowd of the year. The Rock Is
land team showed up TO fine advantage,
being able to get away with most OF
the plays they used and exhibiting de-
fensive ability which prevented the
losers from making a single touch
down.
The particular stars Of the day were
Art Salzmann, Davenport, MacManus,
Swanson, Robb, Coleman and Dooley.
and the others might just as well be
mentioned, for not a man but what
PLAYED good ball.
The Moliners, while outweighed and
outplayed, put up a scrappy contest
and made it interesting for the win
ners during the entire first half, but
in the second session, strength and
weight began to TELL and 1t was simply
a procession to goal whenever the In
dependents got the ball.
TWO PRETTY DROP KICKS.
Moline kicked off to the Independ-
ents to start the game and the local
ability by carrying the ball to within
striking distance of their opponents
goal. There they were held, however,
and on a fourth down, with five yards
to go, MacManus dropped back and
booted a pretty drop kick between the
posts, making the score to 0. Sew
eral minutes later he duplicated the
trick, making the score to 0. That
was all that could be made in the first
quarter.
BEGIN IN THE SECOND.
The real work of the team began in
the second quarter. A few minutes af-
ter it started MacManus punted and
Quarterback Anderson got the ball
within a yard of his own goal line. He
was tackled and hurled back and the
play resulted in a safety with two
points for the Independents. A few
minutes later Rock Island began an ir'
resistible march for a touchdown and
Art Salzmann went over on a fierce
line plunge with the first touchdown
Before the half was ended another was
scored and the count was 20 to 0, both
tries at goal having been missed.
The second half was walkaway fol
the Independents, who were rarely
stopped after getting possession OF
the ball. Line plunging by Salzmanr
and Robb, end running by Davenport
Dooley and MacManus, and forward
passes and double passes in which
Roy Salzmann and Swanson at tackle
and Dooley, Murphy and Behnamanr
at end figured, supplied thrills to the
one-sided contest. Following is the
lineup and summary:

IN its Saturday game at Princeton and |
the result was Is to victory over
the Princeton high school aggrega-
ton. The work OF the eleven was as
pronouncedly good Saturday as It was
poor the Saturday before and the vic
tory was merited one. All the mem
beTs or the team and especially
whistler and Brough won glory in the
fray which was pronounced one Of the
Cleanest and prettiest exhibitions ever
seen at Princeton.
The contest opened with Rock Is
land kicking off. Princeton carried
the ball back 10 the center OF the
field on a succession of line smashes
but there they were held for downs
and Rock Island got the ball and be-
gan its first offensive play. With ev-
cry man on his toes. the Rock Island
ers swept down the field in a steady
march towards goal. Gains were short
but CONSTANT and five times the
chains were moved ahead after a first
down had been declared. Finally
when within striking distance of goal.
Whistler was called on and he deliver
ed, carrying the ball over Princetons
line for the first touchdown Of the
game. Glass kicked goal. Score
TO 0.
PRINCETON SCORES ONCE.
Princeton came back strong after
receiving the kick which followed the
touchdown and a succession Of plung-
rs and end runs netted them touch
down not many minutes after Rock Is
land had scored. The attempt at goal
failed. however. and the score was
20 6. After that first quarter. Prince
ton rarely threatened the Rock Island
ers' goal while Coach Cornears men
were up and coming all the time, with
the ball in Princeton territory.
Marcus BrOugh pulled the sensa-
tional play of the afternoon in the f.
nal quarter, snatching a fumbled ball
on Princeton's 30-yard line and racing
the length Of the field for a touch
down with the Princeton team at his
heels and unable TO catch him. Try
at goal failed.

Another feature of the day was a
spectacular tackle by Captain Ire

'Let us look back for a few years and we
may see two ambitious young men associated
together for one purpose. Both of them were
thirsting for the blood of warrior whom
France honored for his virtues and for his
ardent patriotism. This warrior was an old
man with white hairs He had inspired his
young sovereign with the noble desire to shake
off the shameful yoke of Philip II. of Spain
That was his crime; he offended them. They
assassinated him. One Of the actors in this
crime was the young Due d'Anjou, today
King Henri Ill, the murderer of him whose
bleeding body we see yielding its last breath
at the foot Of his Kings bed. What lesson!
Or rather what a retribution! He who had
assisted at the assassination Of Coligny was,
in turn, assassinated by the daggers Of his
accompice. 1T was just says Henri Martin;

Due de Guise was powerful, and his friends

they had time to arrange either for vengeance
or defence The Kings assassins gave them
just enough time to pray and despatched

ashes into the Loire, whose waters had so
often been Redeemed with Huguenot blood

splendid gifts if not accompanied by moral
principle. For nearly so years she was

age Of 70 she found herself deserted by her
friends, and cruelty neglected by her son,
KING Henry Ill; her plans for the aggran-
4Azement of her house all failed, even that
internal master stroke, the St. Bartholomew
massacre Poor, alone deeply in debt,
thwarted in all her schemes and universally
hated, this woman passed off the stage Of his

unpaid servants when they learned that their
mistress had died bankrupt.

but he appears to have been almost alone in
that idea, for the young lords in the process

personages in this ridiculous procession. That
same evening he was taken sick, and the fol-

that his last hours were edifying and sanity;
but, when we recall the character of the life
he had lived, his worldly ambitions, his cru
city to Protestants, the character Of his asso-
clates and his chosen haunts, we find it easier
to believe what Pierre de l'Estole says about
his death. This chronicler says that the car
dlnal believed that he was poisoned, and
that he died cursing those who had thus
brought his career to an end just as he was
about to realize some of the dreams Of his
ambition. Catherine de Medici was greatly
relieved to hear Of the cardinals death. On
hearing the news, her verdict on the cardinal
was that he was the wckedest man she had
known. How greatly she had feared the man
living was shown by the fact that even after
his death she seemed to be haunted by him,

Especial Correspondence to the Christian
Standard.)
A short while ago I told the readers of the
Christian STANDARD the story of the massacre
on st. Bartholomew Day, 1872. The next
noteworthy event of Importance to the Chris
ton student Of history is the PRONUNCIATION
of the Edict Of Nantes but, before telling
the story of that celebrated edict, there are
some fragments of history that belong to the
period between the two events that are so
instructive that 1t will be worth our while
to gather them up before we go further.
Twenty-six years intervene between the
massacre and the edct (1572-98). During
this period, all the principal actors in the
tragedy Of St. Bartholomew Day were called
to render their final account
King Charles TX. was the first Of the actors
In that terrible tragedy to leave the stage of
liberty. It will be remembered that it was
he who gave authority for the massacre,
goaded to it by his inhuman mother and her
fendish advisers. Charles lived but two years
after the massacre, and those two years may
be described as living death. The Court
Of Catherine de Medici thronged with men
and women whose hearts were hardened by
vice and crime; yet even these felt q thrill Of
pity as they the young King, whose
strength was rapidly falling, striking with
heavy hammer On an anvil until he tainted
with exhaustion. This furious bodily action

mind. When at length he was stretched upon
his dying bed, he saw, in delrium, heaps of
corpses, and everything around him, to his
frenzied remorse, seemed to be stained with
blood. Blood oozed from all the pores Of his
body, and his suf2rings were fearful The
solitary bright spot in his dark picture is that,
after waking from his fearful dreams, he
would turn to his Huguenot nurse and beg her
to sing him to sleep as she used to do when
he lay in his cradle. And she would sing
the Huguenot version Of the Psalms, and
then the dying monarch would pray for
mercy; and one Protestant historian expresses
hope that this despairing cry for mercy was
