To Measure Clouds.

The Comb nephonscope Is device
for measuring the speed Of clouds. 1t
consists OF an upright brass rod about
nine feet long, bearing at its upper end
a crosspiece to which a number OF
eQuidistant vertical spikes are at
tached. The observer turns to the
crosspiece until the cloud appears to
travel along the line of spikes, and
notes the time 1t takes to pass from
spike to spike. This forms q basis
from which he reckons the speed.

At the Casino.

Singing is predominant in the Ca
sinO,s vaudeville bill Of this week,
which opened 10 good-sized houses
Thursday night. The Girls From
Starland have a novelty singing act, IN
which one Of the two is suspended out
over the audience while she sings.
Their work is clever, and they scored
a hit. julie, Jane and Lewis, two men
and a girl, have a singing and dancing
act. interspersed with some comedy
talking, which goes along with snap
and vigor and is amusing in places.
Altho they offer merely songs and
piano accompaniment, Hobson and
Beatty have very pleasing act. Both
girls possess personality. and they
were forced TO respond TO several en-
cores Thursday evening. More COM
edy and singing is offered by Lewis
and Broh. while Dancing Davy steps
out" nimbly and well TO various rag
time tunes. There is not much variety
20 the bill but all the acts are we'll

Baseball association, the entrance of
this city completing the league circuit
for 1917. Baseball men here, at meet
ing held last night, filed an application
with President John +. Ford, asking
for the Ottumwa franchise, which re-
Gently was surrendered, and posted
$500 as a guarantee TO play out the
season.
This action practically assures La
Crosse of representation in the Central
association this year. The directors or
the league have gone on record as in
favor of the admittanCe of Lacrosse,
and the Ottumwa franchise undoubt-
edly will be voted to this city.
Enthusiastic Mass Meeting.
An enthusiastic meeting of fans was
held yesterday, at which President
Ford was present. The guarantee
money had been raised and an apolica-
ton prepared. and it was evident from
the outset that Lacrosse wants league
baseball.
After the meeting President Ford,
bowling with Mike Malloy, former
Chicago Cub scout. who probably will
manage the Lacrosse club, rolled into
the lead in the doubles at the Tri-
State bowling tournament here, with q
score Of 1.179 Ford topping 613 pins il

Snake Problem.

This is not new but it's worth re-
peating. A man in Zion City, ILL.,, sent
it to the News:
Two Zion City snakes, of which
there are abundance on the lake front
property, had a fight. One was gar
ter snake and the other a bullhead."
Each was three feet long and in their
ferocity they seized each other by the
tail and proceeded to swallow each
other whole. They both started at the
same time and at the same rate of
speed.
Now the question is, which of these
two snakes survived, or rather which
one was on the outside by the time the
other was swallowed, the garter snake
or the bullhead?
1t took five minutes for the two
snakes to swallow each other and they
both swallowed each other right to
the tip of the fangs. Which one was
on the outside when they were finished
or were they both inside ?-Indianap
