Is predicted that many records will go
at the national skee tournament which
is to be held this year Feb li and 20
at Colerine Minn
There is something peculiarly pic
turesque and sportsmanlike about a
skee runner The skees themselves
are long and graceful and though they
are in many shapes they do not differ
in essential points The skees used in
Norway and Sweden are long and nar
row strips of wood varying from eight
to sixteen feet in length and generally
from three or four and a half inches
In width and an inch in thickness
Any clever American boy ought to
be able to build a pair of suees at
least for practicing purposes There
are many kinds of wood used the best
being birch elm ash maple oak and
Scotch fir In Christiania ash is in
great favor while the Finns favor a
peculiar species of bog pine
THE AERO SLEDGE
Novel Machine That Can Travel at
Great Speed on the Ice
If an invention just devised by a
Danish engineer become popular wc
may have a vehicle to dodge that will
be harder to avoid than the deadly au
tomobile This is the aero sledge
shown in the accompanying illustra
tion which is capable of attaining a
speed of over thirty miles an hour and
THE AEKO SIiEDGE
the trials of this invention being con
ilncte abroad are attracting consid
erable attention
The new sledge differs from all oth
er inventions of the kind in that it is
steered by a slide bar fastened to the
rear of one of the runners and the
start is made by means of a propeller
similar to that of a flying machine
Over frozen lakes and rivers it can
attain wonderful speed and with tbese
sledges some interesting races could
be arranged Plans are now being
made to exhibit the invention in this
country before the winter is over

Stingy Art Patron
Meissonier once got acipiainted with
a Parisian grandee very wealthy ver
fond of posing as an art patron but
slightly penurious Oue day Meisso

was struck by the beauty of the tex
ture of the tablecloth One could
draw upon it he remarked and suit
ing the action to the word he produced
a pencil and made on the smooth
snowy nap a wonderfully able sketch
of a mans head The particular table
cloth in question never went to the
wash The economical swell had
the head carefully cut out of the dam
ask and hastened to frame and glaze
his prize A few weeks afterward
Meissouier again breakfasted with hi
patron and found by the side of hh
plate at the corner of the table assign
ed to him a neat little sheaf of crajois
and holders with a penknife and sonic
iudia rubber
While the guests at the conclusion
of the repast were enjoying their cof
fee and cigarettes the host saw with
delight from the corner of his eye
thai Messouier was hard at work on
the tablecloth this time with a su
perb little full length of a mediaeval
halberdier The party broke up the
guests departed and the economical
swell rushed back to the dining room
to secure his treasure But alas the
painter had for once shown himsel
as economical as his patron He Irid
made disastrously good use of the pen
knife and oue corner of the tablecloth
was gone halberdier and all
