A Visit to Saxony.
10 Engineering Magazine

From the Engineering Magazine
The American visitors who throng the
garden city of Dresden are inspired by
Saxons with friendly" feeling from
their first entry within the borders of
Saxony Good nature and good humor
appear from the first. even with the
customs officials in their perfunctory
round through the train. The coffee-
colored eye. open and frank. speaks of
the hospitable. homely people who Will
welcome the visitor to SaXony-a re-
markable contrast with the turquoise
eyed peoples met from Venice TO
vienna And in the shops of the engi-
neering works we even find the char
acter of the Saxon people impressed
upon the metal that is wrought into
machines.
1t is precisely because of this fact
that the Saxon is more of an Individual
being and less of a mere machine while
performing his Work-that a visit to
Saxon engineering works is rendered
the more attractive. The men who
operate the railway trains are the en-
bodiment of this characteristic. In
Prussia the engine nan has a rigid,
military mien and wears a blue uni
form. In SaXony he wears a straw
hat, starched collar a civilian jack It
and has a lounging attitude; and after
caring for his machine at the round
house he is scrupulous in additions
which fit him to walk home presently
down FRA gerstraSSe amid the cOSmo-
politan throng To the CapitaliSt who
considers metallurgical and engineering
works IS money-coining machines such
amenities are. perhaps wasted time.
Even the Prussians regard the SaXons
as being rather sleepy" because not
great hustlers: but with their more
philosophic temperament the Saxons
reply, with amiable smiles, "Ah. Mr..
-? Oh. he is a Prussian, you know"
in the same tone in which a Roman

one must be a native to understand

Amber as a Medicine.

From the Family Doctor
The ancients employed amber as a med
lcine, and 1t is still prescribed by physi-
clans In France. Germany and Italy
Several chemists in Paris keep it con-
stantly in stock 1t has been worn nv
ladies and children from time immemorial
as an amulet. sometimes carved into

of service. either taken internally or worn
around the neck. Callistratus gave the
name of chryselektron to amber of a
clear golden color which. worn around
the neck, cured ague: ground UP with
honey and rose oil it was a specific for
deafness, and with Attic honey for dim
ness of sight. But to come to more re-
cent times. Perera says in the third
edition of his 'Materia Medical" pub
lshed in 1853. that amber was not even
then employed as a medicine i'm this
country. but that lit was formerly used
in chronic catarrhs. amennorhoea. hyste.

OF powder. in doses of ten grains to a
drachm, or In that of a tincture. for
mula for both of which is contained in
some of the European formularies.

The Maximum Wage.

From the London Chronicle
The maximum wage was invented in
England long before the minimum was
thought of. 1t came about after the
plague of. 134S had swept away half the
population. Work was at standstill for
want of workers, and wages went up so
enormously that the state thought 1t nee
essary to fix a limit. The state did more

Tanbark as a Fuel.
the Engineering Magazine

From the Engineering Magazine.
Perhaps the most important of waste
fuels in the United States has been
spent tanbark. \ rough estimate would
indicate that this material generated
few years ago an amount of steam
that would have otherwise required
the yearly consumption Of about 1000
eco tons of high grade coal Yet this
valuable fuel was at one time con-
sidered a mere detriment and an ex-
pense to the leather industry. 1t was
disposed of by dumping it into rivers.
filling in waste ground and by making
roads with it. often necessitating the
paying out Of large sums for it's dis
position. This strikingly illustrates a
case of how the Improvement of
furnace converted a hitherto supposed
combustible into valuable waste fuel
of the auto-combustible class. and
shows how enormous waste was
converted into an equally great econ
omy.

ENGLISH DERBY
WORLDWIDE RACE
Greatest Individual Sporting
Event of Years in Inter-
national Import.
PLAN GOVERNING BODY
FOR SCHOOL ATHLETES
British Polo Team Needed CLASSY
Players for Practice-Name Strong
est Tennis Team.

NEW YORK. June 21.-The running
of the English derby, under the sensa-
tional incidents which marked the re-
cent race at EPSON Downs. again calls
attention to what is without doubt the
greatest individual sporting event of
the year in point of international i'm
portance.
Esta blished in 17S0 by the Earl OF
Derby it is antedated by but few turf
fixtures and has gradually surpassed
in world wide interest all other races
of similar character. The outcome of
no other contest is awaited the world
around with the interest that is mani
tested in the running of the derby.
This is not due entirely to sent-
mental reasons however. since wager
ing on the result is a part of the
Briton's education. No matter in what
part of the globe he may he quar-
tered, the E,nglishman and his brother
of the colonies must have something
down on the derby either in the form
of a straight wager or a pool Selec-
ton Statsticians have endeavored many
times to estimate the aggregate
amount at stake in this race and have
invariably given up the task in de-
spair. That the total sum runs into
millions of dollars is not questioned.

Contenders for Davis Cup.

In sending Maurice f. Mclaughlin. r.
Norris Williams I'd. Harold II. Sackett
and Wallace F. Johnson to England to
continue the hunt for the Davis cup
the American Lawn Tennis Association
has named the strongest team pos
sible judged from the 1912 rankings.
Mclaughlin. Williams and Johnson are
the three top rankers in the singles
and Hackett is found in the second line
of the doubles. Had T. c. Bundy, who,
with Mclaughlin, Won the United
States double championship at New
port. been able to accept the invitation
to compete abroad the champions
would all have been battling for the
cup.
That this team will give an excellent
account of itself during the coming
play, both in the English champion
ships and the succeeding Davis cup
play, goes without saying. In skill and
strength 1T combines the best in ten
mis- in the United States, and has the
added advantage of youth in the case
of three of the four players. Williams.
Johnson and Mclaughlin are scarcely
out of their teens. yet they have had

Polo Visitors Explain Upset.

Following the defeat of the English
polo cup challenging team by the
American four in the opening game Of
the series, the visitors explained the
upset in part, by the statement that
since their arrival in this country they
had been unable to obtain continuous
practice against fast-playing, high
calibered tours. This statement was
true but the fault lay not with either
polo association or any of its individ-
ual members. but with the game it
self Polo in the United States is of
comparatively recent origin. and polo
players capable Of trying out the Eng
lish four to the limi! are few and far
between Where thousands play the
game in England and the various Brit
ish possessions, there are but few in
comparison who participate in polo in
the states.
The very fact that the few players of
sufficient strength to give the chal-
ed for the American team and reserve
placed an unintentiOnal handicap upon
the invading players. Occasionally one
of the MeadoWbrook Big Four or an
American reserviSt Dra"ticed against
the English. but this was avoided AS
far as possible in order that the charge
might not be made later that the de
tenders were familiar with the English
style of attack and defense
In years to come perhaps polo Will

Pools in All Parts of World.

II is customary for the employees of
every big mercantile plant. factory
and similar concern to organize pool
months before the running of the
derby. The officers and soldiers of the
British regiments stationed in all parts
of the world follow suit. Sailors
of all degrees under the Union JACK
also have their pools. In Canada. South
Africa Austria lasia. India and all the
other British settlements and posses
sions wagering and pools on the derby
continue almost the year round. Scarce
ly has one race entered turf history
before the next is being considered by
the holders of winning and losing tick
cts alike.
Since the winning of sum of the mag
nitude represented by some of the derby
pools is the event of lifetime, it is
easily understood why the holders or
tickets on the favorites haunt the tele-
graph and cable offices in all parts or the
world on derby day. The flashing OF the
winners name frequently means sum
running into thousands for the lucky
ticket owner
In the case of the 1913 derby gloom FOL
lowed Joy, for the victory of the ) to

announced before there came correc-
fion stating that Craganour had been
DISQUALIFIED for fouling and the derby

For Interscholastic Association.

That the proposed National Interscho-
Iastic Athletic Association will become in
due course of time a reality appears
probable. The matter was fully discussed
at the recent national championships
held under the auspices of the New York
Athletic Club at Travers Island. 1t was
the unanimous opinion that the athletes
of the preparatory and high schools OF
this country had reached a state of ath-
letic development where their Wel1are
demanded a national governing body.
In all parts of the states there are
schoolboy track and field performers
whose records few years back would
have been considered unbelievable by
the average follower of amateur turf and
cinder competition. The system or training
from virtually childhood under the direc-
ton of skilled trainers is in part RESPONSE
BILE for this remarka BILE progress. and the
constantly increasing opportunities Tor
trying out in meets are also an important
factor.
At the present time there is no body
whose duty it is to see that suitable ell
gibiIity rules govern the various games
in all parts Of the country or to put the
seal of authenticity upon the starting
times and distances credited to these
schoolboy phonomenons. This is the pro-
posed duty of the organization winch Is
being formed at present.
A tentative constitution. bylaws and
game regula tons are being drawn up and
when completed will be forwarded &c
the athletic association OF every col
lege in the country. These organizations
will he asked to pass upon the same ano
return with such amendments as will in
sure their support. When this stage has
been reached the National 1nterscholaStlC
Athletic Association will be incorporated
and launched to cover field not now oc
cupied by either the intercollegiate a. n
A of the Amateur Athletic Union.
