To the student of the social customs of our day his contributions to Punch will be invaluable not only for the way In which they touch the manners and habits of his generation, but as offering the most accurate details regarding the fashions of the clothes of the men and women of the period.

Who will say that electricity may not yet be brought into use to turn aside even the heaviest projectiles that may be sent hurt- j ling from the largest and mos: accurately aimed modern guns? At an experiment with army rifles near Berne, Switzeriand, it was found that all lthe bullets went wide of the targets. In- vestigation showed that. parallel to the range, and at a short distance from it, there was an eleciric iine, which had caused the bullets to deflect from their course. In order to test the matter the military authorities laid four steel cables at a distance of about forty yards from the range, which was a little less than 4) yards in length. The cables were then j charged with a strong current and the firing was resumed. It was then ascertain- ed thet the deflection for the distance, 780 feet, was about 70 feet; when a longer range was used the deflection was propor- tionately increased. In some experi- ments with artillery at a range of 3,000 yards it was found that the deflection | amounted to no less than 14 degrees | An army in the field may yet be protected against bombardment through this invisi- | ble force far more completely than by the rongest fortifications that man can con- struc!

Field and Track Sports on the Georgetown University Campus. The juniors of Georgetown University held their annual field day games yester- day forenoon, at whic considerable in- terest was manifested. The games were witnessed by the students only, the rector issuing an order preventing outsiders from gaining admission to the grounds. The threatening weather and the slight rain- fall were not heeded by the contestants, though all of the evenis were pot run off in the forenoon on account of the lack of time. The shot-putting contest and the half-mile run were omitted. The bicy- cle races were held over also, owing to the fact that no sanction could be secured for running the same in time for the meet. The comical races were scheduled for the afternoon, but these were not run off. The contestants were too tired with the morning program, and this was the cause of the postponement. As it is now Owens is clearly in the lead for the cham- pionship all-around athleti He scored twenty-five points yesterday. with Danne- miler, his nearest competitor,scoring four- teen.

LOOKS LYKE 4 DEAL. yaa President Robisen . Believes a Base Ball Sensation iv Brewing. From the Cinclenatt Sbquirer! There is one man in the league who be- lieves that Chris Von der Ahe has disposed of his franchise in whole or part. He is Frank DeHaas Robison of the Cleveland club, and he has figured it out to his own satisfaction in a talk with an Enquirer man. Mr. Robison said: “I believe that when the league meets in Chicago next month that Vonderhorst of Baltimore will show up the greatest base hall deal of history. I began to suspect that something was in the air about the time that the Temple cup games were played in this city. Mr. Vonderhorst came here with the club, and rematned nearly a week after they had gone. While here he made me an offer for two of my players. I will not state the amount, but is was larger in comparison than the Breitenstein price. One of the players asked for was Cy. Young. After a consultation with Stanley Robison I declined the offer,for the reason that I did not care to hopelessly cripple my club. Vonderhorst still re- mained here, pretending that he was in love with the city. One day a message was received at my Office asking if Mr. Von der Ahe was in the city. I believed that a mistake had been made, and told the in- quirer that Mr. Vonderhorst. was. For my pains I was told that the inquirer knew perfectly well that the Baltimore man was in the city, but he was seeking the St. Louis man. The next morning I learned that Mr. Brush had bought Breitenstein, end that some kind of a deal had been werked under my nose. The next thing 1 knew Venderhorst was gone. “Breitenstein was a good stroke. He is the best left-hander in the business, and only last season I offered $7,000 for him, But about the other matter. Baltimore is stale on base ball. Its team has won the crampionship three. times in succession. Next year a tenth place team will make as much as the champions in that city. Bt Louis is one of the greatest base ball citi in the circuit. It has not had a champion- ship team since Comiskey’s days, and !s fairly wild for a good club. New York Is not the place for a team. The lease on the present park expires within taree years, and after that {t will be the owner of the property that will make the profits. There are five or six good years of base ball in Louis, Vonderhorst and Hanlon I beliey to be as shrewd men as there are in the business. By securing the franchise or any interest in St. Louis they will have enough material to put two cracking teams In the field, the westefn team, of course, to be the strongest by far. : “It was the sale of Breitenstein that con- firmed me in the belief that a deal had been made, for, I recollect that for abeut five or “days prior to that lime no one could » Von der Abe. That alle gentteman ng business man, Mr. Brush, iS aWare pf what is going on, hs bis capture of the best left-hander in ‘the.

The Gallaudets were able to advance the ball any further, the ball being lost on a fumble. The team of Mt. St. Mary’s succeeded in making a touchdown and goa! in each half.

American Hardwoods in Europe. From Garden Forest » The demand for American hardwoods in Europe is growing, and oak leads the for- eign shipments, although tulip, poplar, ash, fum and black walnut, whenever a good quality can be secured, are in some demand. European consumers like the quality of American oak, and, since it is known to be plentiful here, it will probably be in increas- ing demand. Cottonwood has been shipped to Germany in considerable quantities, where cheap wood ts required for furniture and other uses.

From the Florida Time ‘nivon, Chief of Police Keefe has in his pose: sion probably the most unique weapon ever nin the city of Jacksonville. It is a combination double-barreled pistol and bowie,and was used in Missouri by a “Reg vlator” when that state was going throug: the throes of the pro and anti-slavery dis- cussion. The blade of the bowie is about twelve ches long, and protrudes from a hilt be- iween two smuil pistol barrels, each about six inches long. The hilt and the ham- S$ are one and the same. When the hilt cocked into position two triggers, con- cealed in the stock, come forth, and then ihe weapon is ready for business, with both barrels and twelve inches of cold steel. A number of men, it is said, belonging to one organization in Missouri were armed with these weapons, which were secured ‘rect from Paris.

From th» Chicago Chronicle. ‘They had not been married very long, and like most young wives, one of her chief ambitions was to keep the grocer’s and butcher's bills down as iow as possible. The head of the house stood this very well, feeling confident that It would soon pass. One day, however, he lost his temper. For many days he had been wishing for a pumpkin pie like mother used to make. She had made one for him, which was a marvel of cheapness, but the pie was not a necess. At that his patience was exhaust- i, and he delivered an eloquent philippic against cheap marketing. His wife said nothing, but at once began to plan a surprise. She remembered how good the pumpkins were back near her old home in ceniral New York. She would send there, and she did, directing the let- ter to an old friend and neighbor, and tell- ing him not to prepay the express. In a , days she received a reply to the effect that the desired article had been sent as directed. The young wife was delighted. for here was a chance to gratify her hu; band. Finally the package came, but what was her dismay to find that the express- man wanted $135 before he would deliver it. The sum was paid, there was much weeping over wrecked ambitions of eco- nomical housekeeping, but the husband en- joyed the pie In utter ignorance of its cost. Thereafter the marketing of that ‘ot was done by the cook, much to the del-xh: of the head of the house. Eugenie's American Bonds.
