passes from thirty to thirty-five yards
away to Merrilat and Markoe.
"Merrilat missed the first for a
touchdown. but handled the others.
and the Nays powerful defense was
soon absolutely bewildered INC crush
ed as West Point rang up three touch
downs. Merrilat's sixty-ive yard run
didn't come direct from a forward
pass, but it was the result of other
passes as the Navy defense had been
driven back n was up in the air
and SO was easily caught off guard.
Here we have a play that scored
in two games more touchdowns than
Yale. Harvard and Princeton have
scored against each other in five or
six years. And no man can tell me
that Yale, Harvard and Princeton are
much stronger ,defensively than the
Army or the Navy. because they are
not.
"Now. in addition to making the
pass low and accurately. his last sea-
son some western teams used at least
ten different formations for making
the pass. We would mix. up a running
play. a kick formation, a shift and
various other systems that worked as
a puzzle to the opposing defense. To
show the possibilities OF the pass one
team that came to play us had a man
who gave.an exhibition Of passing be-
fore the contest, throwing the football
almost sixty yards on a line!
Il grant the contention of the east
that any sort of forward pass may be
broken up and stopped. But only at
the expense of breaking up the de-
Tense against the running game. There
never was a defense that could stop
both the forward passing and the run

twelve men on defense against the
other teams eleven on attack and I
can accomplish this. But no with
eleven against eleven.

cured the playground, and now stood
helpless in the midst of a large num-
Der of Polish e women and chill
dren. We wanted to speak to them,
but there seemed nc human Q being
present who could build a bridge OF
understanding between US. We must
do something. | remembered how we
tried to sing My Country It's of Thee
and were helped out by the children
who had learned it in the public school.
Then we spoke a few words about the
Fairgrounds.
While I was speaking I noticed in
the crowd a we'll dressed man who
seemed in some sense to respond to
what I said. When the chairman Of
our helpless committee wondered what
in the world should we do next, sug-
gested that we speak to the we'll dress
ed man and ask if the Polish people
could not sing their national hymn.
In a few moments, without any ac-
compartment, this mass Of Polish
men, women and children began to
sing with a reverence and a depth Of
feeling seldom found among ourselves
today. 1t seemed to us who knew not
the words that 1t was a religious serv-
ice, of a people whose past history
gave to every word sung a tragic
meaning.
How this depth of sentiment car
be utilized in America for the good or
all of us is a question we have need
to ask ourselves when We sing with
the Polish citizens their beautiful
hymn. We surely dare not allow so
fine a patriotism to be lost in the diff
fcult process Of transplanting.
We have found that the singing Of
these foreign songs in English has
done much to create good feeling and
understanding. 1t has also awaken
ed for o~ld-country parents a new re-
spect and ever admiration among
first generation Americans" The
young people are far too apt to think ig-
norant and green the parents who
cannot speak English.
A bridge of good feeling may be
more quickly thrown over to the new
corners by singing their old cOun-
try than by any other means.

in North America have been almost entirely fin the western section and in Canada. although isolated instances of poisoning are known in the East In the cattle ranges of the West prob. ably no poisonous plants, with the ex- ception of the loco weeds. have caused such heavy losses to the stock men
 It is difficult to estimate with any degree of accuracy the extent of these losses. A conservative estimate based on reports from a large number of ranges indicates that the annual loss is from 8 to per cent. A great many of the stockmen who have reported upon this subject have given an esti. mate of 8 per cent Specific cases are known where from 20 Co 50 cattle have died out Of a single herd within a few hours, and other instances are recorded in which individual stock. men have lost as many as 200 head in a season. These losses are attributed to larkspurs, since they have occurred on ranges where larkspurs are abun. dant.
 Small quantities of iarkspurs can be eaten with impunity. Experiment. al work shows that an animal must eat about 9 per cent of its weight before being affected, and that aver age cases eat from s to g per cent of their weight Horses are not poisoned unless they eat a considerable quanti. ty.
 The low larkspur is poisonous dur ing the whole of its life. but the plant disappears the last of June or early in July. Poisoning from it occurs, therefore, only in the months of May and June The tall larkspur grows through the entire season, and as it natures the leaves lose their poison our properties. so that after the mid. de of August they cease to be poi sonous. The seeds are more poison ous than the leaves, and occasionally cattle die rather late in the sea son from eating them.
 Tho first symptom of larkspur pol soning is ordinarily the falling of the animal In the experimental poison ing it has been found that this falling was preceded by a lack of appetite and general uneasiness, with a stin and staggering gait When the ami nal falls 1t goes down suddenly. the legs appearing to crumple up under It. In the lighter cases the animal will hold it's head erect and after a ime will get upon its feet, only to fall again shortly. While the motions Of

 It is a common tragedy that men being human, cannot see all sides of a question; that a decision right in one light may bring disaster in an. other If events had stayed where he left them, Francois Beaupre and Col Onel Couard and his regiment would have won honor and eternal grati. tude from Louis Bonaparte for the quarter of an hours work which made the arsenal theirs.

 Suddenly, above the sea of sound, commotion was heard at the farther end of the barrack yard The colonel of the forty-sixth, Colonel Talandier, had arrived. Very loyal to Louis Phil lipe. very angry at the scene before him, he would not believe the news. He called excitedly, and the mems voices died down as they saw him gesticulating

N. Y BUILDINGS HIGH
Skyscrapers of Gotham Are
 Maryels of Height.
Woolworth Structure 10 Giant Of All Being 756 Feet Above the Pave ment, 200 Feet Higher Than
 Pyramid Of cheops.

New York.-A well-known insurance company has stated It's intention of putting up a building that will tower 901 feet into space and possess some sixty-odd stories. A few months ago a piece of ground at the junction of Broadway and Wall street was sold for $500 a square foot, or 25.000. 900 per acre. This is the highest price ever paid for a building site
 The giant among these skyscrapers is the Woolworth building. which reaches a height above the pavement of 756 feet It is more than twice the height of st. PauTs cathedral and some 200 feet higher than the Great Pyramid of Cheops A few months ago the 46-story Metropolitan building held the palm for height. It's topmost pinnacle is 6S5 feet above the level of the street. It was thls building which took the record from the 42.

eOtham's New City Hall (s2 stories). story Singer building, with a height of SIP feet above the pavement Adjoin- Ing this edifice Is the City Investment building. 30 stories high, it's roof some 4S0 feet above the curb. Then we have the Park Row building, the height from the road to the top of its flagstaff being no less than AT feet, and the Times building, which rears its head 360 feet into the air, while the famous Flat Iron structure, with its 20 stories, attains to some 300 feet Two factors have made these edifces practicable-th passenger elevator or lift and the steel-cage system of con- struction, which enables the architect to design his building to any height desired
 Naturally. before anything can be done the foundations have to be se- cured. On account of the great weight of these skyscrapers-the Woolworth edifice has a total weight of 16OOO0 tons-the foundations have to be very strong. The majority of skyscrapers rest on concrete piers sunk down into the earth until they reach solid rock The Woolworth building, for instance, rests on 66 of these piers. reaching down to a depth of 120 feet below the level of the street. These piers are really immense steel cylinders known as caissons. Into these concrete is poured, and as it solidifes 1t is squeezed together under enormous pressure eXerted from above by com pressed air Thus the foundations of the skyscraper5 are as firm and as solid as the rock on which their piers rest. Sometimes, if the soil below the surface is at all loose" the engineers make great bed of concrete. which forms the rock" and then sink their caissons into it
 As soon as the foundations are ready the erection of a steel cage be- gins. The bottom portion, or feet of the columns, are anchored into the piers of concrete. this being done to enable the building to resist wind pres sure. When once the columns are firmly secured construction goes ahead very rapidly. Great jib cranes are erected at the very top and used to lift the steelwork members into place. As fast as these last reach their respective homes they are seized by the sky workers, as these aerial toll CTS are called, who bolt and rivet them into position.
 As the steel cage rises higher and higher the sky workers have to tread more circumspectly and attend more closely to what they are doing, for upon each one of them may depend the lives of several of his fellows. The utmost care with regard to the fall of tools, riyets, etc. must be taken. for even a small object will acquire terrific momentum during a drop Of some hundreds of feet A drift pin weighing three pounds rolled of plank on the highest story of the Met ropolitan building.
