ENLARGE PICTURES BY HAND
Apparatus Invented by a German
Doea Work With Almost Same
Accuracy as Photograph.
An apparatus by means of which pic
tures can bo enlarged by hand with
tnlmost as much accuracy as a photo
igrnph can bo mechanically enlarged
has been Invented by u German, A
lamp has a sories of reflecting mlr
irors hinged at .the top and a lens sot
lln a tubing that points downward ovor
itho artist's drawing paper. A plo
turo, suppose It Is a portrait, is placed
For EnlarQlno Pictures.
Ion top of the apparatus and Its reflect
ed Image, passing through tho magni
fying glass, appears on tho paper sev
eral times enlnrged, but naturally n
'perfect replica of tho original. An
artist of only small ability can then
trace over tho lines and make a fault
less copy of tho head. Such an ap
paratus should bo of great valuo to
thoso who make a specialty of largo
crayon portrnlts dono from photo
graphs, a trade seldom piled outside
of rural districts.
NEW TYPES OF AIR SICKNESS
Most Remarkable Symptom Is Over
powering Sleepiness, With Slug
gish and Clumsy Movements.
Climbing Into tho air has developed
three now types of disease: (1) moun
tain sickness, duo to tho muscular
Work of climbing In addition to tho
rarefaction of the air; (2) balloon sick
ness, produced only at great heights
by the thinness of tho air, and (3)
aviators' elckness, in which moro
severe symptoms r,esult from the
rapidity of tho change of atmosphorlc
.pressure, especially In descent. Dor
set notes that aeroplanes may rise to
10,000 feet in an hour. The humming
or cracking produced in tho cars la
the same, as in balloon disease, but
there Is alio a peculiar uneasiness,
-and the aviator is quickly out of
breath. Tho French aeronaut mentions
turther that the descent in a sailing
flight may be at tho rate of 1,000 feet
or more a minute, Morano at Havro
having dropped 8,000 feet in six mln
jutes. The effects aro heart beats of
great force but no increase in rate,
"hummiiig In the ears, and an exag
gerated special uneasiness. There Is
iburning of tho faoe, with sovoro head
jache. But the most remarkable symp
tom Is the overpowering sleepiness,
rwith sluggish nnd clumsy body movo
jments, and this mar last for days.

that it can be readily discerned when
the handwriting is magnified.
Pontoon Method of Life Saving.
The pontoon method of saying life
in the event of tho foundering of a
ship finds an illustrious advocate In
Cunlbertl, the chief naval nrchttect of
the Italian navy. He believes that
the upper and after portion of a ship,
containing tho cabins, should bo con
structed of wood and form a structure
independent of the rest of the ship.
This should be bolted to the hull by
fastenings which could be readily un
locked In the event of the loss of the
i"bip.

FEW ABUSES OF AUIUMUb.
Tax on the Eyes and Nervous 8ystem
Imposed by High Speed Also
Numerous Minor Ills.
Tho twentieth century may fairly bo
called tho ago of speed. The trolley
car, rushing through city streets and
country roads, replaces tho jogging
horsu car nnd rumbling stage; tho
fust steamers take you to England In
flvo days; tho thousand miles be
tween Now York and Chicago Is cov
ered In 18 hours; and mankind has
almost forgotten tho Joys of a quiet
saunter. Distances have been short
ened by tho blcyclo, tho nutomobilo
nnd tho motor boat, and tho aeroplane
is to outspocd thorn all.
Although much 1b gained, perhaps,
tho physician knows that something
Is lost, romarks tho Youth's Compan
ion. Tho uses and bonoflts of tho nu
tomobllo, for example nro great If it
Is sensibly used; but whon It is
ububtid the danger to those In and out
of tho car Is oven greater. Driving
a high power car at full speed is a
pleasurable form of Intoxication, but
llko all Intoxication, it has Its pen
alties, and they are heavy.
Tho driver's oyos and norvous sys
tem may suffer Berlously, although
thcro aro numerous minor Ills to
which ho is liable that may come first
and teach him moderation.
Tho tax on tho eyes is enormous,
for they nro kopt at constant strain
looking for obstacles and Inequalities
in the road. Tho wind and dust in
splto of goggles often cause a troublo
somo Inflammation that yields only to
rest In a darkonod room and appro
priate medical treatment.
A not uncommon affection of the
eyes Is a failure to focus properly, the
ciliary muscles becomo exhausted and
suddenly ccaso to act a temporary
paralysis that causeB a sudden blur
ring of tho vision. If thnt comes
while tho car Is going nt full speed
tho driver 1b fortunate If he can stop
It In tlmo. Tho only courso for tho
driver who hns nnd this affection la
to give up tho wheel, for If It hns oo
currod onco it may occur again at an;
tlmo.
Another nllmont that may affect ths
passengers ns well ns tho driver Is a
painful stiff neck caused by uncon
scious muscular tension. Hut tho most
serious ponnlty that follows abuso of
tho nutomobilo Is neurasthenia or
norvous breakdown.

and It is only a harmless passing fad

Jim Thorpe, Noted
Glen Warner, coach of the Carlisle
Indian eleven, skilled above any of
his- rivals In the ability to pack sta
diums whoro his elevens appear, has
this year in tho presenco of Jim
Thorpe the greatest drawing card on
tho football field.
Thorpe, fresh from his triumphs In
tho Olympic games at Stockholm, Is
now tho best-known athlete In tho
world. He would be famous were ho a
whlto man, but to bo the most notable
of all-around performers, and also an
Indian, thus carrying all tho romance
that goes with aboriginal extraction,
Is going to mean a rash to see Thorpe
perform on tho gridiron.
This Is a big consideration nt Car
lisle, where there Is no athletic asso
ciation to furnish funds to support the
team, no rich graduates to come to
the rescue Tho government does not
mako any allowance for the training
of the squad nor the support of foot
ball. GREAT FINNISH RUNNER HERE
Hannes Kolehmalnen Will Establish

Kolehmalnen Is accompanied by his
brother, Willie, a professional Mara

ican distance men and, in fact, those
from all of the other countries, were
outclassed by a marvelous Finnish

biggest sensation of tho Olympiad.
This marvelous runner wns Hannes
Kolohmatnen, who has elected to
make his homo horeatter in tho land
of the free. All of tho big athletic
clubs are after tho marvelous Finn,
but It 1b expected that he will join
tho Irlsh-Amorlcan club of New York.
Kolhmalnen made hlB flrst nppenr
ance an a runner In this country re
cently nt tho field day meet of tho
John P. Eagan association of New
York at Union Hill, N. J., and gave an
idea of his prowess. Ho Btarted from

though ho allotted a field of 28 ath
letos handicaps ranging from 290 to
4S0 yards, he crossed the lino In sec
ond place. Bill Powers of the Irish
American A. O., with a handicap of
290 yards on Hannes, snapped the
tapo a winner over the Finn by 20
yards, Kolehmalnen showed that he
possesses wonderful speed by cover

This puts tho proposition sharply
up to Warner, nnd he hns shown his
ability to make good. H1b fast flying

past decade proved the best drawing
oards of all football elevens.
Outside of tho turnout for special
games llko Yale-Harvard, Yale
Princeton, Harvard-Princeton, Army
Navy, Pennsylvania-Michigan, etc., no
eleven attracts tho multitudes who go
to see the Indians, and this year with
Thorpe as a member the interest will
be still greater.
Thorpe In captain of the team, and
Is rated among the greatest players
the Institution ever produced. He Is
a fighting tactician, cool, but furious.
He can dQ everything. He is a vicious
tackier, great line buckler, wonderful
runner with the ball In an open field
and a master drop kicker.
Tho triumphs of the taciturn red
skin at Stockholm are going to yield
a rich harvest of dividends to Carlisle

en Is to be kept from cornering the
market on distance races. Only three
laps from home the Finn was ninth,
three-quarters of a lap from the lead
er. In that short distance, however,
after being Informed by his brother
Bill, the professional Marathonor, that
he' must catch Powers to win the race,
Hannes cut loose with a sprint that
cut down all of tho contestants but

PRESIDENT MURPHY IS RIGHT
Milwaukee Sentinel In Commenting
on Ruling of Chicago Cub Head
Hits Hero Worshipers.
Commenting on the declared inten
tion of President Murphy that ho
would insert a temperance clause in
his players' contracts for next year,
tho Milwaukee Sentinel says:
Tho Bcnsation of the week, made
so, possibly, by tho long statement
and unnecessary comments aroused
by It, was President Murphy's de
clared Intention to put into next
year's contracts with his ballplayers
a "temperanco clause," similar to
that which has been In tho Pittsburg
contracts for tho present season.
Naturally enough, announcement,
of this policy created a riot of com
ment, most of which was un attempt
to bo facetious, but somo of which
was as serious as tho condition war
rants.
President Murphy has a porfoct
right to insert this clause in his con
tract and indeed it is ono which ought
to bo there. It is jUBt as much a mat
ter of contractual right as anything
olse. Whon a manager or ownor en
gages the services of a ballplayer for
a liberal salary, he has a perfect right
to expect the best services that play
er can glvo, and to that end he has
ti light to Impose such condltlous us
tend to Insure or guarantee it. If tho
ployer does not care to reduce to writ
ing such conditions as will assure
such services ns he Is bound to glvo,
then that player ought to havo tho
privilege of playing Bomewhoro elso.
He certainly, hns tho right to refuso
to sign a contract with this stipula
tion as a part of It.
Thoro will bo some unthinking
players who will make a fuss about
this particular provision, but thoso
who aro thoughtful and honest will
say to themselves that Murphy's posi
tion Is entirely right and there are
thoso who aro willing to predict that
the time Is coming when every man
ager will incorporate this or a similar
provision in all contracts.
Tho trouble with ballplayers lies
not in themselves so much aB in U'
public. There nre a lot of fool hero
worshippers who get a wonderful
amount of delight out of hanging
around hotels and fraternizing with
ballplayers. They seem to think thero
is something unusual about the so
ciety of a ballplayer and It flatters
them in some way to be seen with
them and to be permitted to buy
them drinks and other refreshments.
These Idiots make It hard for ball
players not to accopt tbelr hospitality
and the consequences are perfectly
natural. If a ballplayer know that his
job depended on his leaving those
people alone, they would havo smell
chance of puffing thomselves up at tho
expense of ballplayers.
The Cleveland Naps are the only
team In the American league to got an
even split with the Red Sox.

pass, the twenty-yard zone placed a,
limitation upon the hurling proclivi
ties of the offensive team that could:
be governed by the secondary de
fense of the opponents' backfleld. It'
was comparatively easy for the backs,
stationed as they wero behind tho llnoj
of scrlmmago and near tho ends, to,
block the forward passes. But with
abolishment of tho twenty-yard zone,,
tho secondary defense is left without
a base to work from. Nw it will be
posslblo to pass tho ball as far for
ward as tho team pleases, which
means practically as far aB a Bwlft
end can travel while opposing team
Is being blocked. To the secondary'
defense, or to some new nrrangomontl
of defense, will be left tho task of
stopping such plays, and judging by
the speed of the ends that was dis
played last season It will not bo an
easy one.
On tho other hand, the gamo as pre-
dieted from the new rules, offers ex
ceptional opportunities for a modified
form of tho old line smashes. With
four trials to make the required ten
yards instead of the three downs, this
year's game promises the use of the
plunging play. Plunging under the
three-down rule and with assistance
prohibited gave little opportunity fori
long gains where tho defense was
fairly strong. Now with an addltionol
trial, just that much more chance Is
brought In play. And besides tho sec
ondary defense bids fair not to have
its strong -position immediately back
of the line and ready to stop any back
who tackles. This defense will be
watching for long forward passes and
the work of playing thirty yards down
the field and Immediately back of cen
ter seems Impossible.
So It 1b indeed a problem, and one

some plan goes without saying. They

vance. But for the average "rooter"
and the coach of less ability, the situ
ation is far from, clear and probably
will not be till the masters have
shown the way.
