'WE WIN BY FOREIGN BLOOD So Saye Ex Oxford Athlete Who Wants England to Copy the Plan of Sweden. W. Beach Thomas, an Oxford graduate and former athlete, in reviewing the Olympic games in the Dally Mall Bays: "One can understand American supremacy. The winners are i mostly Englishmen, Scotchmen, or, above all, Irishmen, at one remove from the old country. One conspicuous victory was won hy an ex-Swede. "A vast population, recruited by the best red blood, as the Americans boast, from virile Europe, a population speciallstfcally devoted to the narrowest form of athletics and possessed almost of a mania for competition, is likely to produce a fine i team. It did produce an incompara- | ble team. The inclusion of Indians, [ Hawaiians and one Anglo-Russian fur- ' ther added to the total of marks. "The Swedes are a better standard of comparison. Their athletes are a delight to the eyes. They were nono of them specialists, but were all gymnasts in a wide sense, as well as athletes In a wide sense. The nation has used the Olympic games as a test ot the physical training in which the whole nation has been brought up. By a quiet, methodical and really nationsi aMvement they have vastly in«wi —eri the nation's virility. The people at large can drill, row, swim, run, Mvew awd play. "Tho question for England la whether v« cannot direct our national talent for athletics so that our teams may at least have some esprit du corps, in which the defeated Olympic f«sm was grievously deficient, and so that athletic skill with a chance of representing the nation may become a r»al’y healthy ambition among the rfeh and poor in town and village. Such an Ideal is realized already In Sweden. Denmark and Finland, and is bring discussed in Franca and Germany." . FEW A USE FOR SWEEPINGS Street Refuse Makes Good Fertilizer If It Is Quite Free From Oil. The United States department of agriculture has been conducting elaborate experiments to ascertain the value of street sweepings as a fertilizer. J. J. Skinner and J. H. Beattie of the bureau of soils tried samples collected in various ways upon wheat, corn and radishes and found that band sweepings were beat, but not nearly so good as well-rotted stable manure: that machine sweepings were about one-third as good as hand and that decomposed sweepings were almost useless. Ths reason for thia was that ths -weeptags contained much lubricating oil. The experimenters made testa ot sweepings from which the oil had oeea oawacled and found that both bend and machine sweepings pro dnsod as good results as stable manure, while the decomposed sweep lags worn not far behind. The department issues a bulletin warning farmers and gardeners that rweepings from which the oil has not been extracted will eventually impair the productiveness of soil, unless through drainage the oily material is ■ wiglßOd oS or changed. The Whale’s Song. Whales are rarely thought of as vocalists, yet according to Miss A. D. Cameron in “The New North." thsy really have a distinctive song ot their ywn. • A certain Captain Kelly was the flrst to notice that w halos sing. One Sunday, while officers from three whaling ships were "gamming" over their afternoon walrus meat.' Kelly started up with “I hear a bow head!" There > was much chafing about "Kellys band." but Kelly weighed anchor, and went to find the band-wagon. Every sail followed hU, with the result that three whales were bagged. Among bowheeds, thia gingaong la a call that the leader ot ths school, aa bo forces a passage through Bering ; sea, makes tn order to notify those that follow that the stratta are dear ot Ice. Walruses and aeals and all true mam mala that have lungs and live in the water have a bark that sounds etranga enough aa It comes up from hidden depths. Every lookout from the mast bead notices that, when one wbaln la struck, the whole school la "caliled" or sUmpeded at the very Impact of the liar toon; they have heard the dost li song. • Tho sound that the bowhead mak- i ie like lbo long-drawn-out "koo-boo-oo no!" of the bool-owl. A whaleruys that the cry begins on F, and tn a, rise to A. B. or even C before slipping back* to F again. He assures ua tast with tbs humpback ths tone la murb r-.»r. and sounds across the water like the note from the H string es a vie Um.
