Hti Trick That Pvaaled an Occidental Master of Maate. Some of the tricks of the Hindu wizards are past understanding, according to an occidental master of magic who was speaking of his oriental rivals. This is what he says he saw a Hindu wtsard do In a club In Lucknow: "He took a board and placed It on four glass goblets, thus elevating it from the floor. A youngster sitting on the board 'was requested to place bis bands together, palms up. Then the Juggler took a glass of water and poured It into the outstretched hands of the boy. In the meantime the boy had been mesmerized, and his attention was fixed on a point indicated by the magiclan. Gradually the water turned green in color and then deTeloped into a Jelly which increased In density until it became as solid aa a stone. Out of the center of this appeared the head of a snake, which gradually developed until in the place of the water there appeared a hissing reptile. I was amazed. I can assure you, but the trick was not yet completed. Hitting the reptile upon the head with bis . wand, the juggler took it up carefully and placed it back in the glass. As we looked It became transformed Into a jelly, which In turn melted Into a greenish colored water. Clearer and clearer became the fluid until It was of its original' color, and then the juggler placed it to his lips and drank the entire contents. This was the moat wonderful trick I ever saw performed, and it is as mysterious to me today aa it was then." yO -CXOMO flUBOCt.- that It COM fat Out Day, Ctta 2 Dm

Other Artists Hare Adopted ceer Dct1c For Slaraatnrea. The mystic emblem or device of a sort of Whistlerlzed butterfly was adopted in the sixties by the eccentric genius, James Abbott Whistler, who, without any known reason, changed his name later to James MacNeill Whistler. Close study will reveal that this peculiar scroll is really a monogram of J. W. The earliest of the etchings to bear the butterfly is "Chelsea Wharf" (1863), but many paintings and etchings after that date are signed "Whistler." Artists have sometimes signed their pictures in some distinct form instead of their names. It generally was done when the name might suggest some emblem or symbol. Thus HIeronymus Cock demarked two fighting cocks on his panels; Mariotto Albertinelll signed a cross with two interlaced rings, referring to the sacerdotal duties to which at one time of his life he devoted himself; Martin Rota, a wheel; Pieter de Ryng, a ring with a diamond; Giovanni Dossi, a bone; Del Mazo Martinez, a hammer; Lionello Spada, a sword. Sometimes caprice dictated the selection, as when Jacopo de Barberi U6ed the cadnceus, or Mercury rod; Hendrik de Blea, an owl; Lucas Cranach, a crowned serpent; Cornelius Engelbrechtsen, a peculiar device resembling a weather vane, and Hans Holbein, a skull. Collector and Art Critic Mathematical Prodlsrloa, It is related that JededJah Buxton, the English mathematical prodigy, was the son of a schoolmaster, but remained throughout life a farm laborer, because of incapacity to acquire an education, his' mind being occupied by an absorbing passion for mental calculations. Being asked "How many cubical eighths of an inch there are in a body whose three sides are 23,145,786 yards, 1,642,732 yards and 54,865 yards?" he replied correctly without setting down a figure. Zerah Colburn was an American prodigy. When ask ed the square root of 106.929 and the cube root of 268,336,125, he answered correctly before the audience set the figures down. Tkc President's Salute. The president's salute consists of twenty-one guns, and why this particular number was hit upon has been the cause of much speculation. One solution, more clever than probable, is that when the Revolution took place the nation was considered able to shift for itself; hence twenty-one. Another is that the figures of the year of the Declaration of Independence, 1776, when added together make a total of twenty-one. The royal salute in England is also twentyone guns, having been originally seven, which number fired three times for the three political divisions makes the total. Crashed. "Really er" stammered the gossip, who had been caught red handed, "I'm afraid you overheard what I said about you. Perhaps er I was a bit too severe" "Oh, no," replied the other woman. "Tou weren't nearly so severe as you would have been if you knew what I think of you." Where He Pat It.

PAIXADIUBI AND SUX-TELEGRA3I, THURSDAY,

REAL FOOTDALL SCHEDULE Earlham and Butler to Meet on Gridiron at Indianapolis Next Saturday. BOTH SQUADS WORKING THE SLIGHT INJURIES WILL NOT AFFECT EITHER TEAM MUCHQUAKERS TO HAVE DELEGATIONOFFICIALS SECURED. The real football schedule of Earlham college will begin Saturday when the Quakers meet Butler at Indianapolis. The games with Cedarville and Antioch were but preliminary to the schedule qualifying the Quakers in their contest for the secondary championship of Indiana. Frederick Vail, who coached the Quakers last year arranged the program of games for this year so that Earlham would have had games out of the state before the real Indiana gridiron contests began. The foresight shown by the former coach is appreciated by only a few students, the others maintaining that the Quakers should have jumped into Indiana games at the opening of the season. Butler won from Earlham last year by a score of 51 to 0. This year that college has spent more money for a coach and has expended more energy securing football stars. The men have been run through hard practice since the opening of college and have met teams in this state and now they have two victories to their credit. According to dispatches Butler is working hard for the game with the Quakers. They were surprised when Earlham won from Cedarville and Antioch and during the past week they have redoubled their efforts. The men have been put through some hard practice which has told on some members of the varsity. Butler Players Hurt. During the past few days some members of the Butler aggregation have been Injured. This has kept them out of practice and will affect the playing to some extent Saturday. This includes Captain Thomas and Geier. Both of the men constitute the strongest varsity material of Butler. In the practice last evening Coach Gipe played on the second team in order to show up the weak spots of Butler. But while Butler is making a hard fight in practice the Quakers are losing no time. The men are kept on Reid field until dark each evening. Coach Thistlethwaite who has been a hard worker this week on the gridiron and in lectures to the men realizes the hard contest before the Quakers Saturday and all the plays and means of securing team work are being drilled into the squad. Fear Butler's Line. One of the points the Quakers fear from Butler is their line. Most of the practice this week has been devoted to breaking tr rough, the line. The second team has been placed against the varsity and dummies piled back of the team and then attempts made by the varsity to break through. Fully one half hour was spent at this one play Tuesday evening. Earlham is also suffering from the injury to sevcal players. Haworth. one of the strongest men in the back field has a "bum" knee and the college physician has been working on him the past few days. He will not be out of the game Saturday, however. Bruner and Turbyville are also complaining of injuries, but unless there are other developments they will be in the game against Butler. Coach (Thistlethwaite is striving to develop a man at left end. and Hughes seems to be the most formidable. He quit the game last week because of parental objection, but the game had too much of a hold upon him and he again made his entry. 100 Students Will Go. About one hundred students will accompany Earlham to Indianapolis next Saturday. They have been granted a rate of $1.50 a round trip and the tickets are good going Friday and returning Sunday. The game will be played at Washington park in Indianapolis and the following officials have been secured: Philip Hill of Indiana, referee; Charles Tighe of Indiana, umpire and Scott Paddock of Indiana, field judge. TWO GOOD CONTESTS In the railroaders' league at the city bowling alleys tonight, the Flyers will be pitted against the Highballs in a series of three games. The Specials will meet the Locals and the results of these games will make a material difference in league standing. At present the Flyers are at the top of the ladder with H per cent.

PRESIDENT TAFT SEES TAFT, TEX Visits Town Today That Gave Him Its Unanimous Vote Last Year. AT HIS BROTHER'S RANCH THIS MORNING THE EXECUTIVE PLAYED GOLF WITH THE LONE STAR CHAMPION RESULT IS SUPPRESSED. (American News Service) Gregory, Tex., Oct. 21. President Taft played a game of golf this morning with R. H. Connerly, champion of Texas. The winner was not announced. This afternoon the president visited the town of Taft, Texas, near Brother Charley's ranch. At the last election this town voted for him unanimously. President Taft had a touch of rural ranch life yesterday when he rode a cow pony to a small roundup of 1,200 head of cattle of the Rincon section of his brother's ranch, saw two wild steers cut out of the ' bunch" and roped, witnessed the branding of calves and saw half a hundred steers taking a spectacular dip in a disinfecting tank through which they had to swim for fifty feet or more. A rattlesnake with seventeen rattles and a button was killed at the Rincon ranchhouse shortly before the president arrived there from his brother's palatial farmhouse at Laiuinta. The president's horse Sam spied a dead snake just as the president was about to take his seat in the saddle to go to the roundup, and bucked viciously a number of times. After President Taft was safely aboard, however, Sam was a good horse and cut up no more. The president began his day yesterday with a game of golf against Charles P. Taft and Secretary of War Dickinson and Capt Butt were at the fresh water tanks, ten mile3 away, trying to duplicate their' performance of yesterday, when they bagged fiftynine mallards, redheads and other species of wild ducks. The president himself appeared in a khaki riding suit with a panama. TWO INITIATED. Two -candidates were initiated into the Wayne Aerie of Eagles last evening.
