Philadelphia Museum Ex= hibits Alphabet of
 the Universe"

Philadelphia (UP)-The "al- phabet Of the Universe" is on ex- hibition at the Free Natural His tory Museum of the Acadamy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.
 It isn't the alphabet that laya men ordinarily speak of-the al- phabet of 26 letters upon which more than 100000 words of our language are built. It is the scien- lists alphabet-the 92 simpler substances or elements-of which all the material of the earth and other planets, stars and meteors Is made up.
 Just as words are formed of vowels and consonants, minerals, with the exception of a few Ina tive clements are compounds of electro positive and electro-nega- tive clements.
 A large number of the chemical elements and gases which compose the universe are shown in the cx- hibit. They are arranged accord ing to the time-honored Periodic Table.

Mystery today shrouded the death of Joseph Marinelli, 25, of 76 LinHood street, whose body was found yesterday morning on the canopy above the entrance to the Union station, 35 feet below an opened window from which he had jumped, fallen or been pushed shortly after midnight. Police and Deputy Coroner Walter W. Smith, conducting a dual probe, are at a loss to explain the circumstances of the leap or fall.
 Still alive when found yesterday morning, Marinelli died shortly aft erward at St. Mary's hospital of a ruptured liver, the only injury which was found to his person.
 Witnesses Sought
 Deputy Coroner Smyth expect ed this afternoon that light might be thrown on the case after he had talked with James Evans of $50 Hill street, supposedly the last man to see Marinelli alive. The fall vic tive the deputy coroner said, had not been drinking, and so far no suicide motive has been uncovered either by Deputy Coroner Smyth or by Detective Connie Shanahan

NEVADA TEAM
CRACKS BELLS
Of st. MARY'S

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. l3. W.P)
In footballs biggest surprise on
the Pacific coast University of
Nevada defeated st. Mary's col
lege, 8 to 7, by a field goal kicked
in the last three minutes of play
before $4,000 fans here yesterday
Entering the game with 80 points
as their scoring goal, st. Mary s
found themselves trailing in the
first quarter when the Nevadans
passed and plunged from the
Saints 30-yard line for touch
down, Fullback Tharp making the
score. The try for point failed.
With the first string lineup in
the game, st. Mary's went ahead
in the second period. A forward
pass from kellogg to Erdelatz
scored the touchdown and Kellogg
place kicked for the extra point.
With only a few minutes remain-
ing, Nevada got the ball at midfield
on a penalty, passed to the 20-yard
line, and with Center Tom Cashill
doing the kicking registered field
goal. The Saints drove back on
passes, but the final thrust was COM
pleted outside the end zone and
the game ended few plays later.
After the game the disappointed
st. Mary's crew boarded a train
for New York where they play
Fordham next Saturday.
