1 I THE LUMP CITY MINER: LUMP CITY, MONTANA: HARVARD AND YALE. THE TWO CREWS PREPARING FOR THE GREAT RACE. W. T. Ball Writes His Views on the Coming Rowing Contest—Both Crews In Prime Condition—The Coacher. Are Alert. HE Harvard crew is once more out for business under ithe watchful eye ot Coach Watson. Not ,long alto it really looked as though ‚the crew was des - (tined never again .to work In a shell, at' a severe throat 'trouble, brought on, it is thought, by rowing on the Charles river at low tide, when the atmosphere becomes polluted with the exhalations ot the muddy banks and sewage outlets, attacked the men right and left, and sparing but two of ten men. However, the affliction proved not lasting or dangerous, and Harvard men are beginning in conse- quence to brighten up. Last fall an ill - wind seemed to pursue relentlessly the foot -ball eleven in their practice on Soldier's Field, Cambridge. Men were laid off continually and daily, and at one time it looked as though a substi- tute team would have to face Yale in November at Springfield. And so with the crew, an ill -wind or something seems to be blowing up at the most un- expected times, and at exasperatingly frequent intervals, to retard the prog- ress and the healthful growth of the crew. Maybe it is because they are try- ing so hard to turn out winning teams and crews that misfortune takes such a hold. In foot -ball it is an absolute rule WATSON, HARVARD. that the player who le cautioned to play easily, save himself, and not to get Into pushing and crowded plays. etc., is just the one to get hurt first. The fel- low who plays with abandon, never thinking of a possible hurt, goes un- scathed. The extra valuable men whose places the Harvard coaches could not fill were singled out in particular, with the result that they all sustained injur- ies which kept them much of the sea- son on crutches or hobbling on the side lines. If It is desired to save a good man by playing him just enough to maintain good condition, excluding the possibilities of over -training and loss of snap and youthful vigor, then It is the wise plan to cut the playing periods down. In other words, ten minutes of hot playing, then a lay-off—and ncte, thirty minutes easy, with mind centered on the saving idea rather than on the game. Coach Watson. In his eagerness and his ambition to turn out a winning Crew, is pursuing a policy similar to that of the foot -bail mentors, and as a result his men are really trying too hard. Of course, trying too hard im- plies not only greater muscular exer- tion, but a tex upon the mind which Is not to be desired. When the athlete's mind begins to get wrought up and over -taxed, then the boelly vigor enters at once Into a decline, for that which affects the mind affects the nervous systeh.and the nervous system the Mus- cles. It is not necessary to point out to the Harvard crew daily the import- ance and the desirability jet be a tin g Yale at New London this ykar, for they know that already, and the fact that today they are not showing the tjrm a 'varsity crew ought at this late day, and but seven weeks before the race, Is due to the worry of questionable ways of Coaching. writes W. T. Ball in LP. - He's Weekly. Confidence, more than anything else, Is what Harvard larks, and unduly magnifying the importance which their work means has induced It. The sooner confidence is restored the better. I have no doubt that 1f the Harvard crew could start in on the mor- row with free 'and easy minds and the feeling simply that all they have to do is to row well to make the race with Yale a commendable one, even In de- feat, they would show right off im- proved form and an irresietible - get there.\ Then, too, confidence would surely Induce the feeling that the race is not a sure thing for Yale, but, on the other hand, Harvard's. On account of the repeated Yale vic- tories it ‚steed seem but natural that a Harvard crew should prepare for New London with a feeling of uncertainty as to the result Indeed, It is dotibtful If Ile rverd crew, for the past three years ha''. trained without the a/Intimat e . Inekina upon their work as hopeless. To , ntirt defeat is to merit and to get a The firm deter-m.0.40°n and calm , nedenre that the battle enn't be lost aldr.r.a the right and healthftli way of utelertn king he proper - ail -43h or train- ing At Yale It ilar , 1 to be the policy of coaches and captains to tell the men continually that they were \no good,\ and couldn't play a little bit, until the very eve of a contest. Then, closeted in the council room, they were tpld that they were all kings, that no men played as they played, and that victory was certain. hut only a remnant remains now of such a fool- ish policy, the idea of which once got It into their heads that \all was over but the shouting\ they would loaf and not try to improve their play. The sensible contention is, however, that given a young fellow of healthful mind and a fair share of common sense, that fellow will reason out the true import- ance of his work and act accordingly. Hickok, the giant foot -he'll guard and champion inter -collegiate shot -and - hammer man, was all but ruined last year by this Inane policy. Indeed, he was driven nearly crazy by the repeat- ed asasults upon his faults, which never failed of being magnified many times their actual size. But toward the last of the season there came to New Haven a man of level head, and he that is the old-time war horse of the gridiron, Ray Tompkins, quickly grasping the situa- tion, advanced the opinion that what Hickok needed was a slap on the back and an encouraging word—not the lash. And the slap and the good word Hickok got from that day on, and his play Im- proved greatly. After the humiliation of almost a season of word -buffeting about, the change of air, as it were, eased and refreshed the mind, and the blonde giant cavorted like a two -year - old. But to return to the Harvard crew. It appears to be the wish of ne rly two collegians out of three that theu lower the colors of Yale this year. R peated victories of any one man or tem be- come monotonous If nothing more, and enthusiasm ebbs very fast. Whereas, another Yale victory would hardly be recognized beyond a few cheers by Yale undergraduates, a win for the crimson would act as wildfire to take hold of the concourse of people and drive them joy -mad. Then, the following, year, thousands almost of those who had stayed away from want of interest, would return, feeling a little certain that they were to be repaid for theiee time ancroutlay of money by witness- ing a close anybody's race. At this time, while It is not safe to say too much concerning \chances be- cause a crew is so likely to make rapid advance strides during the last few days, showing in the interim work of a very mediocre nature, this much may be written: Firstly, that the Yale crew will be as fast, if not faster, than last year's crew. Further, they are men who will row a desperate race to the end. But, good crew as it undoubtedly will be—on account of the heavyweights. Cross, Longacre, and others In the waist of the boat—the men will‘be incapable of run- ning the, stroke up high and keeping It there to advantage. I should judge that they might sustain thirty-four and go their fastest—forced to run the stroke up and the shell would lose rather than gain speed. Spurting with this Yale crew means simply more beef on the thirty-four stroke, while with a lighter crew it would mean running the stroke up to forty and more. Now the crew to win from Yale is the crew which can, by a quick stroke, place their shell in the lead right on the start, then just hold the advantage until near the finish when another spurt may be made. The Harvard men are going to show a faster stroke than Yale without doubt LONGACHE, YALE. -.lacy always do. In fact—and the ques- tion then is, will they be able to main- tain It with strength and in form? If their work to date le a criterion, they certainly will not. But. as I have said, crews—and probably the Harvard crew —Improve sometimes With great rapid- ity at the end, and it is safe to say that this year's Cambridge eight will do the same. There seems to he little doubt but that the crew, will be a vast im- provement over the worst crew—last year's—Harvard ever sent to New Lon- don, Furthermore, It looks as though Coach Watson had secured eight men up to the task of a spirited four -mile row. In thus ii ng ridden of passengers Harvard scores a distinct advantage over nearly every eight she has sent out to battle with Yale Where Harvard's weakness will sure- ly show will be In the rigging of the crew. Where she may show weakness will he in the tallure of the eight to get in that most Important heave of the bark before starting the slide. Harvard men have never yet mastered this dei - cate point, and indirectly that peint which Is closely related to the heave— namely, the hooking of the water in a continuous movement of the blade, thus making Impossible the slightest ions of water incident to clipping.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN INDUSTRIAL Eit t DS. • Lamp for use in mine. An Im- proved Method of Concentrating lioreir Power --Ti'., Bicycle Watt mad [folder --Medical. LAMP strong enough to resist the action of burning gas within it, which is perfectly ventilat- ed, and which gives a steady light in a Current of air, is shown in the ac- companying illus- tration, in which portions are broken away to show the interior. The lamp proper, or oil -hold- ing reservoir at the base, screws into the upper portion, to which It is se- cured by a safe and strong lock, in the form of a spring bolt with a catch on its outer end, which enters a socket in the lamp body. In the outer tube, above the glass portion, are top and bottom perforated sections, opposite which are internal shields, the lower one being adjustable up and down, as desired, these shields preventing any rapid propulsion of gas through he lamp. The upper shield is closed at the top by a perforated plate, above which are side apertures. Extending from the bottom up through the oil reservoir is a 'tabular way in which is loosely fitted a piece of wire, sharpened at one end and bent to form a pick, by which the wick may be conveniently raised or lowered, or freed from in- crustations. The construction is such that the flame cannot be projected out- ward from the lamp, and all parts are easily examined at any time. Medical Uses of Sugar. There is a very strong opinion grow - .ing up among medical men that sugar has a remedial value that has hitherto been wholly unappreciated. As a tonic and invigorator its value has been, in experimental cases, extremely satisfac- tory. A case in point is related where a person from force of circumstances had fasted for nearly twelve hours. This patient was subject to the most violent headaches from hunger or lack of food. After a certain period a peculiar pres- sure or congested feeling was noticed in the head, invariably followed by acute pain, sometimes by severe nausea, These enforced fasts, occurring at fre- quent intervals, became the subject of some concern. One day the individual In question tried the experiment of tak- ing sugar and water, this being the only available article of food at the time. Several blocks of cta sugar were dipped into water and eaten very slow- ly, with frequent clippings, so that the sugar was almost entirely dissolved. When the operation began, the pressure In the head was already very marked, and the headache was coming on. Strange to say, the unpleasant sytnp- toms almost immediately left, there was no return of them, and the stomach was in nowise disturbed. Repeated trials had the same effect, and it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that with this patient at least the sugar application was a success. Further experiments are being made with a view to demon- strate the value of cut sugar as a lun- cheon when other food is not to be had. It would be a simple and easy matter to carry half a dozen pieces of sugar in one's pocket, to be indulged in with no other accompaniment than a glass of water, be. this means preventing or probably postponing those frightful at- tacks of cerebral congestion and agony that many persons are subject to. ring the watch is readily removed. With a pair of pliers this holder may be I fitted to any case. The Maya* Watch and Holder. Whether one is \making time\ on a wheel or leleurely following where fancy may lead over new paths, the conven- ience of having the correct time always at hand, to be noted without the trouble of taking a watch out of the pocket, or taking the ?tondo from the handle bars, cannot but be appreciated by all bicy- clists. The improvements which have made this possible have, therefore, at once sprung into great popularity. The illustration represent a time -telling outfit of this kind, which consists of an excellent low-priced watch and a sim- ple, light and easily applied holder. The watch is without fine adjuntments, heavy wheels and fine pivots, being de - deigned to stand any amount of banging and shaking without inning or gaining a minute a day. By means of the holder It may he attached in a moment to either the frame or the handle bar, as shown In Fig. 1, Fig. 2 reermeenting e back view and Fig. 3 a feee view .r watch clamped in the tn,l.ler Am will be seen. the \retch Is held by ant Ing fingera. an upper finger engaged b y l b,. a/rib h ring streddling the atem and boiling the wilt h firmly ln the rint( h of the lower finger« releasing the Capita Consumption on Torpedo Boats For the following Interesting particu- lars respecting the coal consumption of the twenty -seven -knot torpedo boat de- stroyers, we are indebted to a corre- spondent of the Glasgow Herald. He states that the cruiser built by Messrs. Thornycroft, on a three hours' run just made, maintained a speed of 27 97 knots, practically 28 knots, or for the whole time 84 nautical miles; and while run- ning this distance burned in her three water tube boilers 17% tons of coal. The rate of combustion is 68 pound of coal per square foot of grate area per hour, although In some trials it has reached 79 pounds; but then the power per square foot of grate area is very high, 24 Indicated horse power. The boats of this class carry 60 tons of fuel at a pinch, and this would enable them to go at full speed for a period of over nine hours, during which they would travel fully 260 nautical miles. The coal consumption is equal to 4 hundred- weight per sea mile: that is to say. during the 2 minutes 9 seconds taken to a sea mile 4 hundredweight of coal are burned. A ton of coal, therefore, takes the boat five sea miles But It would only be on a rush that such speed would be maintained. Now, other tests have been made at about half the speed —13 knots—and here. Instead of five miles, the ton of coal carried the de- stroyer for a distance of about 38 nau- tical miles, so that the total distance at 13 knots with the 60 tons of coal would be nearly 2,000 miles. This shows the great cost of doubling the speed. The coal per horse power at 13 knots was 1.61 pounds. An Improved Horse Power. The accompanying illustration repre- sents, in perspective and sectional views, an improvement in horse powers designed more especially for pumping purposes. It consists of a revolvable cam wheel held in position by a suit- able framework, and having around its outer rim a series of inclines, as shown. A vertical cross piece upon the inner end of each lever carries two engaging pul- leys of a proper distance apart to al- low the alternating cams to pass be- tween as the wheel is revolved, thus im- parting a smoothly acting and powerful reciprocating movement to the levers. The framework is preferably of an oc- tagonal shape, thus giving a combina- tion of strength with an artistic effect, and also the capacity for operating a lever at each of its sides. The power is especially adapted for raising the un- derfiow of surface water for irrigation and other purposes, as it will pump simultaneously from a group ot pumps fifty feet apart if desired. The Invention of the Telephone. In a recent address Peof. Hughes says it Is 30 years since his first experiments with a working telephone. In 1886 while at St. Petersburg fulfilling a contract with the Russian government for' the papablishment of his printing telegraph instrument upon all their important lines, he was invited by Emperor Alex- ander II to give a lecture before the royal family, which he did. As he wished, however, to present not only his \ern telegraph Instrument, but all the latest novelties, Prof. Philip Reis of Friedericksdorf, Frankfort - on - Main, sent to Russia his new telephone, with which Prof. Hughes was enabled to transmit and receive perfectly all musi- cal sounds, and else a few spoken words, though these latter were rather uncertain: at moments a word could be clearly heard, and then from some un- explained cause no words were possible. This instrument was based. Prof. Hughes states, upon the true theory of telephony, and contained all the neces- sary organs to make it a practical suc- cess. Its unfortunate inventor died In 1874, almost unknown, poor and neg- lected, but the German government has since tried to make reparation by ac- knowledging his claims as the first In- ventor, and erecting a monument to his memory , ' ih the cemetery at Friedericks- don Munitions of War. There are a number of new inven- tions in the way of armor to be worn by soldier, in battle. It Is estimated by carefully prepared etatietIce that 75 to 85 per cent of mortal wounds from bul- lets are in the trunk of the body, and as ROMP of the new' ermor platen are said to he an effectual preservative from bullets at ordinary line of battle range, the invention is of great value to the rank and file of soldiers. • Heads are small marks co pared with bodies, and a volley fired a a mark six feet from the ground would o comparatively lit- tle otecution.

JOSEPH'é FOOT -WASHING. The Carious Ceremony of Holy Week In Vienna. On Holy Thursday, at Vienna, the Emperor Francis Joseph performed the annual ceremony ot washing the feet of twelve old beggars, says the New York Sim. The ceremony took place In the hall of ceremonies in the imperial palace. On a platform raised slightly above the floor Was a long table with twelve covers, a plate, knife, wooden spoon,, folded napkin for each, with a piece Of bread, a fiewter mug, and a little blue pitcher filled with water. At 10 o'clock, 'twelve old men, the young- est 89 and the oldest 96, entered the hall and were supported, each by two rela- tives, to the platform, which they mounted with difficulty, and were placed in their seats, their relatives, most of them women, standing behind them. Then entered twenty knights of the Teutonic order, headed by their master, Archduke Eugene, dressed in white with long black crosses on the breasts of their doublets and others on the back of their long black cloaks. They marched around the hall, and then, forming a line on either side, made way for the ministers, with Count Kalnoky at the head, and the em- peror's staff. They were followed by the primate of Austria, Cardinal Gruscha, with priests and acolytes bearing candles and burning incense. Theft came the emperor, dressed in the white uniform of an Austrian general and wearing the order of the Golden Fleece. He advanced to the table and addressed a few words to the old men. At a signal from the master of cere- monies twelve guardmen stepped for- ward, each bearing on a tray the first course of the sumptuous repast; the emperor now took off his helmet, gave it to Aja. officer, and, passing down the line, arranged the dishes before the guests. Twelve archdukes then ap- proached and removed the Barrnecide banquet from the guests eyes, handing the dishes to the guards. This was repeated for three courses, and with the last, the plates, knives and other Objects on the table were also taken off. They were all packed later, with the eood, in wooden boxes, and sent to the homes of the old men. The table was then taken away, and the \washing of feet\ began. A priest ap- proached with a towel and golden basin full of water; their slippers were taken from the old men's feet, and the emperor, on his knees, beginning with the oldest, moistened his feet with water and dried them with the towel. Without rising, still on his knees, he passed on to the next one, and so on to the end of the row. When he had finished he rose and placed around each man's neck a chain, attached to which was a small white hag containing thirty pieces of silver. That ended the cere- mony; the emperor and his suite with- drew, and the old men were taken home by their friends. A COUPLE'S ADVENTURE. Abort of Funds, but the tieotleman Was an Able Financier. Among the throng on bicycles speed- ing between Ridgewood and Tuxedo on Saturday afternoon were a little couple not yet in their teens, says the New York Sun. The little lady manip- ulated the wheel to perfection, age, as they passed along they looked even more interesting \ than the beautiful country about them. They had halted at Ramsey's, had cream and confec- tionery, and had resumed their trip when rain began to fall. Here was a dilemma the youth of 11 had not cal- culated on. Rain meant railroad' fare back to Ridgewood, for In no circum- stances could the young lady be allowed to get wet. They hastened to the first railroad station. The youth saw the wheels housed and then fished In his pockets for funds. The little treat at the saloon had absorbed nearly all his cash, but he arose to the occasion and In a confidential way whispered to the ticket agent that If two could ride on a whole ticket that cost leaf; than two half tickets he thought he had suffi- cient funda to buy one. Then, to his dismay, the lad discovered he was 2 cents short even of the price of one whole ticket. He so informed the agent and asked for credit tor that Bum, promising to reimburse him at another time. The agent looked at the worried face of the little girl and hand- ed him out a ticket. *ewer Than the Illynnotiant Plea.
