Tho Yalo alumni of Now York city hold tboir annual lovo feast and glorifi cation raoctiDg at Sherry's tho other night with tho nsnal accompaniment of collego yells and music, followed by talks on various subjects. Ex-Judgo Henry E. Howland, the president of tho association, had somo things to say in defenso of Captain Hinkoy of tho foot ball team after ho had ticklod his an dienco by tolling how fow vacant places of poblio trust Yalo alnmni had left for othor men. Referring to football, ho said: "Wollington said tho football fields of England gavo them tho victory at Waterloo, and although I would ap proach an editor who takes a different viow in a deferential attitudo and beg his pardon for differing from him, I should say that whatover makes a man strong, active, quick witted, temperate and woll disciplined is of inestimablo valuo to him in after life, and this is what tho well regulated gamo of foot ball docs. Yalo has been a great school of instruction in it for tho past 15 years. "It is difficult to restrain within tho bounds of moderation tho feeling of in dignation at tho treatment by certain newspapers during tho past season of tho. Yalo team, ono of tho best that has ever been on tho field, and its captain, who has never been outclassed by any player of any collego or any time. Tho flings and taunts at them for not follow ing tho advico of self constituted men tors as to with whom and whoro they should playwero incessant Misrepre sentation of their actions and motives wcro of daily occurrence. Their work wa3 belittled and their pretensions ridi culed. "Whatever may have been tho rea son, whether a conspiracy to punish him for his natural rcservo or partisan prej udice, thero was nothing charged against him that equaled tho 'kneeing' that theso newspapers havo given him, but tho wholo body of Yalo men, who know him, resent tho accusations, assuro him that they respect him for his sand, his ginger, his supremo excellenco as a player and for his qualities as a man and say to his critics, who assert that they aim to toll tho truth, that they aro very bad shots. "Tho Yalo men havo never fought over in tho newspapers their football games, nor havo their friends. They havo left it to others in every case, es pecially tho gamo at Springfield. Ono happy result of tho controversy is proba ble that another gamo will never be played ia New York, but all of them on tho collego grounds." President Dwight said among other things, in referring to tho changes that bavo taken place in collega life: "Peoplo say that-tho present genera tion of collego men is extravagant. Things nro not going so badly as somo peoplo imagine. Tho conditions have changed. Tho lives of our sons aro not limited in many of tho ways that we were. Tho class which graduated 20 years ago spent on tho average a littlo more than tho class that graduated last summer. I rejoice that my children arc not going to pass through what I did. Tho improvement of manners and the development of gentlemanly character among collego students has been going on." BUILDING GUNS MORE CHEAPLY. A Swede's Tlan For Glrlnfr a Twist to Balls From a Smooth Bore. Tho very heavy cost of modem guns is largely duo to tho timo and labor which aro necessarily expended upon tho operation of rifling them. Tho ma terial itself is relatively cheap, and a rifled gun, besides being much more costly, is, other things being equal, more short lived than a smoothbore. It is almost impossible) so to mako tho gun and tho projectilo that tho soft driving bands of the latter shall, at tho moment of discharge, accurately fit into tho grooves and lands of tho boro and allow no gases to pass ahead. When these gases do pass ahead of tho projectile, they score and damage tho interior of tho gun, and whero tho new powders aro used and tho gases of combustion at tain an enormous degree of heat tho process of deterioration, especially in weapons of largo caliber, is often very rapid. A Swedish engineer, W. T. Unge, has devisel a method whereby he hopes to save not only tho cost of rifling, bnt also tho interior wear and tear for which rilling is responsible. He proposes to construct all guns with smoothbores and to fit tho projectiles with gas checks, which shall render it practically impos sible for any gases to rush past thom. In order to convey to tho projectilo an axially rotary motion, such as is at pres ent conveyed to it by tho action of the rifling, ho has invented a mechanical arrangement which, at tho instant of firing, gives to tho gun itself tho rotary motion. This may bo either constant or increased. Ho has satisfied liimsolf that the offect upon tho projectilo is exactly tho samo as is produced by tho constant or increasing twist of an ordinary rifled gnu, and ho is of opinion that tho adop tion of his system, while giving equal or oven improved accuracy of lire, will reduce tho cost of heavy guns by one half aud add enormously to their endur ance.

Ono day during tho recent convention in Now York about 100 members of the American Society of Civil Engineers, with their wives and other ladies, vis ited Willett's Point and spent several hours as guests of Colonel William King, commandant of the post. Tho post band was brought aboard the steamer, ud .if music, dancing and feasting an L' u was spent merrily. Colonel King then announced that a few experiments with his large electro magnet and some submarine explosions would bo given for the entertainment of tho party. Beer kegs were substituted for the tegular torpedoes, as tho latter are too expensive for ordinary experiments, and tho kegs servo tho pnrposo as well. Three" kegs wcro exploded at intervals of a few minutes. Thoy contained respectively 165, 150 and 140 pounds of giant pow der. Tho large explosion of the larger cbargo threw a wooden buoy about 170 feet in tho air and made a waterspout nearly 100 feet high. Tho attention of the party was next directed to Colonel King's huge gun magnet, which stands on top of the ramparts. Tho large 15 inch gun, wrap ped with a dozen miles of insulated wiro, forms the most powerful magnet in tho world. Tho electricity ia supplied by a largo dynamo. The colonel, who always superintends the experiments, gave orders for the current to be turned on, and the capers of tho magnet began. Somo of the spectators took spikes and other scrap iron, which they found was perfectly magnetized at a distance of eight or ten yards from the gun, so that when they put two pieces together it was difficult to separate them. They would throw tho iron in tho air, and it would bo attracted with much force to tho core of tho magnet Tho experiment with cannon balls was next shown. Five balls, weighing 350 pounds each, were suspended, ono beneath tho other, from tho muzzlo of tho gun. Tho bottom ball hung within a few inches of the ground. Then Lieutenant Morrow stood with his back toward tho muzzlo of the gun and stuck largo bolts and spikes all over his chest Other scrap iron was also applied and attracted by that which already seemed to cling to his coat Ho walked away from the magnet, and he got a considerable distance before tho last of tho iron which covered his breast drop ped to the ground. Whitestono(N. Y.) Dispatch. HE'S A HIGH ROLLER. Tonne lrd Hope Almost Beaches the Spendthrift Becortl. Lord Francis Pelham Clinton Hope, brother of the Duke of Nowcastlo and heir presumptive to tho dukedom, mar ried the other day 3Iis3 May Yohethe young actress, and this week ho has been spending a part of his honeymoon in tho frowsy, an roc: an tic precincts of tho bankruptcy court. The proceedings showed that ho badly needs somo ono to look after him, and he ought to bo thankful ho has now got a clover young woman as a wife, who will be able to keep him out of the hands of the Jews if anybody can, which appears to bo doubtful. This interesting young aristo crat came of ago in 1S87, and during tho past seven years, although he en joyed an income of $So,000, he has man aged to accumulate debts to tho amount of nearly $3,250,000. This is considered a very fine perform ance, of which any British nobleman might bo proud, and which gets within measurable distance of tho record estab lished by that famous rake and gambler, tho. Marquis of Hastings, more than a generation ago. At first sight it would appear easy oven for a young unmarried man, born in the purple, to live with a fair amount of comfort upon $85,000 a year. In fact, Lord Hope declares that ho kept well within his income as far as regards actual personal living expenses, but ho says he was handicapped at the start with the payment of 215.000 suc cession duty, and during tho seven years bo incurred $22,930 liabilities on behalf of others and paid nearly $80,000 inter est to monoy lenders. These figures aro considered quite creditable to tho young lord, and he would havo passed out of tho bankruptcy court as a model young man, without a stain upon either his moral or his busi ness character, had tho official registrar been content to inquiro no further, but he, having no particular roverence for the duke's brother, had the bad taste to drag into tho light of day betting and gambling debts to the extent of $350, 000 for tho seven years, and debts in curred in theatrical speculations to tho tune of $120,000, two items which pretty well indicato the real causes of his lordship's troubles. Ho might have pleaded that his theatrical losses, if heavy, had at least brought him a hand some, clever wife, but he did not do so, and his affairs stand adjourned for fur ther investigation. London Letter. A Lone Distance Concert. An extraordinary concert and ball took place last week in the Hungarian town of Teinesvar. Tho audience listen ed by means of telephones distributed around tho room to a military orchestra playing in tho town of Arad, duets and songs in Szegedin, a chorus by a glee club at Szabadka and popular songs by celebrated artists in threo theaters of Budapest. A quartet at Arad was as dis tinctly heard as tho "Rakoczy" march telephoned from Szegedin. Finally tha young peoplo present danced for hours to music alternately played in all three towns. An Antl Antitoxins Crusade. Opposition to tho use of the antitox iuo treatment for diphtheria has already takou an organized form in England. A deputation headed by Lord Coleridge has protested to the authorities against its uso in tho hospitals on tho ground that "public money ought not to be de voted to experiments in psychology."

Tho namoof Judgo Fenley is familiar to every man, woman and child living in and about Russollville, Ky. The judge is a hoary headed man of perhaps 60 years, yet ho is dailyprepar ing to start on a joumey to the moon. His homo is everywhere, yet the soli tude of tho woods is his favorite abiding place. It is reported that ho once lived in a largo hollow tree, and from a plat form which ho built in the topmost branches ho often stood for hours and gazed at tho planets. A short distanco from tho littlo city of Russellville might be seen an old brick wall, which the judgo built as a receptacle for the large boilers tie in-y'' tends using in the construction of bis flying machines. Thobfck of means is his ralyimpedimerif; but hegoeson day in and day out, never showing the least, sign of discouragement The airship is not tho judge's only hope of reaching the moan. As soon as he can raise sufficient means he will build a large cannon, and into that can non he is to put a smaller ono and con tinuo placing cannon in cannon until they have reached one that will hold a man comfortably. In firing theso cannons the judge is going to uso dynamite, and they are to be touched off by means of electricity. Judge Fenley says if ha fails to reach tho moon by means of his airship he will beyond doubt go up by means of the cann.ons. He is to place himself in tho smallest cannon and fire them in succession. "By that means," says the old man, "I can reach the moon in 10 or 13 days, traveling at the rate of 10,000 miles an hour and allowing for a variation of tho course When I get beyond tho gravita tion of this earth, I will bo attracted to the other planet by gravitation." Ho has written a history of Russell, ville, which he sells on the streets when ho is in town. This history is said by some to be very good and wonderfully accurate. Most any day ha can be seen walking briskly through the streets, with an armful of his books, stopping all whom he meets and trying to sell them one. "I havo become accustomed to being in high places, " says tho old man, "and I can now stand on any limb that will bear my weight and look down without tho least feeling of fear or dizziness." Het gets old boards and carries them to the tallest trees he can find. Ho then carries them up one by one and con struct3 a rude platform. In this elevated station ho spends most of his time. He takes great delight in standing on tho very edge of the platforms and in climbing to the most dangerous places ho can find. Few boys can equal him in climbing, and his agility is remark able for one of his years. Upon being asked how he expected breathe when ho leaves the earth and launches into space he replied: "Oh, thero will be no trouble about that I will tako plenty of 'mashed down air along with me.
