ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1e40=Tot Cribb made his last pub. lie appearance at a benefit given for him at the Westnnfnister Baths in London, when the members of the PugiIistic Association responded Ifb- eral1y and raised a handsome sum for the old champion. CrfBb retired from the ring undefeated. leaving the title to his protege. Tom Spring. and set tied down in Business as a tavern keeper in London. His house was long famous among the sporting gentry, and a dramatic production called Tom Cribb's Par1or.'' has been produced thousands of times in both England and America. Cribb was too open-handed for his own good, and at the time of the benefit in 1840 he was in dire straits. After that he spent his remaining years at the home of his son, where he was frequently visited by Tom Spring and other friends. Cribb died in 1s48. Shortly before he breathed his last the old gladiator sat up ia bed and struck out right and left There's the action, ', he n1uttered, but the steam has gone.''

Trench Perisscopes.
Saturday Evening Post.

Trench p%eriscopes are the great
field for European inventors these
days, and score of designs are being
manufactured in great quantities and
sent to the men at the front. So
many have been bought in England
~ relations at home, to be sent to
soldiers in the trenches, that the Bri-
fish Government has had to issue a
warning that it desires to pass on
the suitability of all such outfits.
The trench periscope is, in it's SIM
llest form, composed Of two mirros
IN a tube, so arranged that when the
tube is pushed halfway up over the
top of the trench the soldier can
look into the mirror at the bottom of
the tube and see what is going on in
front of the trench, the scene being
Taught by the top mirror and reflect
ed down to the lower mirror. Ell y.
crate periscopes r beng made that
Lave magnifying lenses which give
a wide field of vision and have other
advantages; but the great u is on
cry simple ones that can be packed
Gown into a little pocket case, and
yet can be put into operation quick
ly. One of these pocket periscopes
has the two mirrors attached at the
proper angles by lazy tongs, so that
they may be opened and shut some
what after the manner of an umbrel-
"a. Another design has the two
mirrors separate, each with a clamp
on its side.s The two mirrors are

Or two above the other. The rifles
Is then pointed up in the air and the
man in the trench has q safe view of
