bins. TENNIS IS OLDEST OF GAMES
Origin Lost in Antiquity, but Was
Played Largely In Europe Dur
ing the Middle Ages.
Tennis is undoubtedly the oldest of
nil existing ball games. He origin
is buried in antiquity, but It was
played largely in Europe during tho
mlddlo ages in the parks and dltchcB
of feudal castles. The French learned
the game from the Italians, tho Brit
ish from tho French.
Golf is popularly Bald to be a Scot
tish game, but thore is good reason to
supposo that, In the first Instance, it
camo from Holland. Cricket, however,
Is essentially all British. Tho llrst
mention of tho game is found in a
thirteenth century manuscript, and It
derives Its namo from tho Saxon word
"eric," or "cryc," meaning "a staff."
Billiards is believed to have beon
brought from the cast by tho Cru
saders; though somo people say that
the French developed It from an an
cient German gama. Chess, however,
-which is the most Intellectual of all
games, Is also tho most ancient.

NEW TOOL FOR LACING BELT
Difficulty of Getting' Connection Cloae
Together Is Obviated by tmple- ,
ment Recently Invented.
A handy little tool for lacing ends
of belting together has been invented
by a man in tho state of Washington.
It is such a simple little tool that tho
word "Invented" seems almost out of
place nothing more than a thin metal
rod colled upon itself at tho middle,
and with one end bent into a hook,
Belt Lacing Tool.
tho other end serving as a handle. In
lacing belts together It is often diffi
cult to get tho connection as close
as is desirable, owing to the fact that
tho lnces can not bo worked with tho
fingers as ell as they might. Onco
they were pulled fairly tight It was
hard to loosen them up- again to pull
them still tauter. Hero Is where the
lacing tool comes in, for the hook can
bo inserted under the laco and the
latter worked out In a twinkling.
RAINCOATS ARE MADE CHEAP
Waterproof Garments Can Be Retailed
for Ten Cents Up by Process
Invented by Illinois Man.
A man in Illinois has Invented a
process to produco nnd market a rain
coat that can be retailed from 10
cents up. These coats are made in
the regulation slip-on style, from an
integral piece of waterproof paper.
Their production cost will bo no high
er than C cents each, and even that
figure can bo lessened. The coat can
be folded up to fit in an ordinary en
velope and Is particularly adapted to
being carried In handbags.
The coats can be made of oiled pa
per or paraffin, vellum parchment pa
per, which gives tho appearanco of
sllklneBB at a short distance. The
original Idea was for tho coats to be
worn only once, but, after a trial, It
was demonstrated that they could bo
utilized successfully two or threo
times. The coats aro reinforced
where the buttons aro sowed on and
also where tho button holes aro cut.
Thero are only two seams, both run
ning underneath tho arms and down
the sides. These seams aro cemented
by ordinary glue.
MAKE PRINTS WITH CAMERA
Drawing to Be Copied Is Focused Me
chanically, Exposed and Developed
Before Leaving Machine.
The old-time method of inking in
and varnishing the pencil drawing for
Issuing to the shops or contractors
was abolished by tho invention of the
blue-printing method. Now. with this
camera outfit, tho Intermediate troc-

lng required for tho making of shop
prints is eliminated, tho print being
mado direct from tho original pencil
drawing, says tho Popular Mechanics.
Tho drawing to bo copied Is placed In
tho copy holder, focused mechanically,
exposed, cut off from n roll, and de
veloped and fixed boforo leaving tho
machine. Prints can ho mado, washed
and dried, and Issued to tho shop In
loss than ten minutes.
t Disabled Printers.
Tho union prlntora of tho United
States take good care' of their mem

on each of tho aged or Invalid guests
of tho Printers' Homo In Colorado

This Is known as "limestone wool"

New High Explosive, Trotol, Is Safe to
Handle Resembles Brown Sugar
In Appearance.
Trotol If) the name of a now high
explosive 'which is twice as powerful
as dynamite and very much safer to

the work of 12 ounces of dynamite,
but nothing will explode It except ful

stored within six Inches of it without
danger. When packed in a 12-inch
shell and fired at armor plate 1,000
yards away, during a recent test by
the United States artlllory, trotol re
mained unexploded in spite of the ter
rific concussion. In appearance it re
sembles wot brown sugar and Is made
up In sticks. Unlike dynamite, trotol
can bo kopt in water for years with
