An Air-Cleansing Lamp.

A deodorizer Of recent evolvement ex-
ercises the power of not merely
removing Objectionable odors, but,
further, of germ killing and of scatter
ing pleasurable fragrance. 1t is de-
signed for cleansing the atmosphere of
and Office use. 1t operates by catalytic
action. AS the cost of these air-cleans-
ing lamps is not exorbitant, and as the
comfort which their use insures is
large, 1t is expected that they will find
a very wide use.
The new device consists of a small
bottle-shaped lamp, with a full-round-
ed body and a tiny burner. 1t has much
the appearance of the ordinary alco-
holic burner with the exception that
the bright metal fretwork inclosing it's
globe gives it decided decorative
value. When not in use the lamp Is
kept closed with a heavy ornamental
stopper, and. upon stand or table.
bric-a-brac.
While in use a heated piece of plat
mum is kept glowing by the alcoholic
fumes, and this acts as the catalytic
agent by turning the vapor into for
maldehyde. The formaldehyde pene-
trates the air, disinfects it and re-
moves from it the odors of stale to-
bacco smoke. kitchen smells and gases.
Besides being a deodoriZer it Is anti
septic. BY mixing small quantity of
perfume with the alcohol the lamp,
further. scatters a fragrance through
the room.

Yacht Club Building New Pier and
Rerths for Boats,

Work has been started at the Cor
inthian Yacht Club headquarters on
the Virginia side OF the river. near
the south send of the Highway bridge.
upon the construction of new land
ing pier and on the berths for the
boats of the club members along the
bulkhead recently built in front OF the
clubhouse A pile-driving machine be-
longing to Dosey & Miller Company of
this city has been employed in driving
twelve-inch pine piles for the new
pier and for the boat berths. and by
the end of this week the work Will- be
completed.
The landing pier will run about fifty
feet out from the bulkhead and 1T its
end will be placed floating stage, at
which the launches can land to re-
ceive and discharge passengers. 1t is
figured that with the larger boais OF
the club lying in slips constructed OF
several big piles. it will not be neces-
sary to take them from the water and
that they will be perfectly safe from
ice and storms, protected by the heavy
piles.

Now. on the Green Meadows there was

that If he could just find the right spot
in the Old Pasture that was the place
for a new home. Very carefully he
went all over it. and at last he found
lust what he was looking for In the
middle of great tangle Of bushes and
vines were some great rocks which
formed very tiny cave. In this Old

easy digging. but it could be done So
he went to work with might and main.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 9.-The
average weight of the four backs OF the
Navy team who probably would be chosen
to play if the Army game were. to be
played now is slightly above the average
weight OF the line. The average of both
is a fraction over 1873 pounds, but the
backs are heavier by a few ounces. The
backfield is heavy in spite of the fact
that Miles, quarterback. weighs but 151
pounds. The others are: Halfbacks Blod-
getr 1876, and Failing, 1SS, and Fullbac ok
H. Harrison, ITS.
With Mitchell at quarterback, the av-
erage of the backfield is increased nearly
nve pounds and it is much heavier than
the line. The average weight OF the line
is brought down considerably by Schluss-
bach. right tackle, who weighs but 161
pounds, but has won his posIuon by out
paying several heavier men.

used by the midsnipmen at the Army

Harvard Game Following on Prince

NEW HAVEN, November 9.-The
final two weeks of training in the Yale
foot ball camp started today. That
there is lot of serious work to be
done in bringing the players up to
championship form is the consensus of
opinion of Walter Camp, Frank Hin
key, Aleck Wilson and the rest of the
Yale men who watched the Harvard
Princeton game Saturday.
There are a good many things to be
taken into consideration, not the least
important of which is the fact that
Harvard has two weeks between the
Princeton and Yale games in which to
rest and get into form. while the Yale
warriors have but one. The problem
Of nursing the team along in such a
fashion that 1t can win from Princeton
next Saturday and come to top form for
the Harvard battle a week later is Sc
rious one.
Fortunately, the Yale squad is COM
paratively free from injury now, and
the men who have been on the hospital
list are improving SO fast that Yale
should have it's best in the field in the

of mind. He felt cheap. dreadfully
cheap. He couldn't remember when he
had felt SO cheap. You see. he had dis
covered that Old Man Coyote had given
up his home in the far corner of the
Green Meadows. Then he had looked
for several days in every place he could
think of, but found no trace Of Old
Man Coyote. At once he had made up
his mind that Old Man Coyote had left
the Green Meadows for good, and
promptly had flown all over the Green
Meadows. to the Smiling Pool, and
through the Green Forest, telling every
one he met that Old Man Coyote had
left. Then. just before he fell asleep
that night, what should he hear but the
voice of Old Man Coyote himself. Do
you wonder that Sammy Jay felt cheap
as he sat on hemlock tree and thought
it all over?
Now, it is a funny thing how some
people feel when they have done some
thing foolish. They get angry. not with
themselves, but with some one else who
The more he thought 1t over the angrler

Old Man Coyote for not having gone

things, and then try to put the blame
