was played ou Sandy's field, yesterday,
when the St. Aloysius team defeated
the Ping Pong team by a score of 19
tti is.
Tho game was quite fast nt first, but
towards the; last it got very one-sided.
Devanney, who done the twirling for
the St. Aloysius team, did some very
effective work, besides making a home
run and several other hits. 'Harold
Qulnn also done some good hitting,
making a three-bagger and two 2-base
hits.
Tho headlight Is reached!) y an eleva
tor and takes four barrels of oil to
keep It heated. The pony truck wheels
nre about the size of an ordinary turn
(able; She pulls three miles of cars,
but In goold weather ,felio can handle
five mles of cars. The headlight Is so
powerful that It shows throlugh it
mountlan one-half mile wide. She car
ries S60 pounds of steam and 600
pounds air In the train line. When she
Is to turn around, It's necessary to take
her apart.

Which Reproduces
Sound miles Away. r
From tho London Express.
Tho "speaking light" is the lates't
novelty which has made its appear
nnco In Paris; it is the Invention of a
German professor, Improved and p.erj
fectcd by M. Charles Heller, an elec
trical engineer, residing in France. '
Tho apparatus consists of, an ordi
nary arc lamp, minus the globe; this
lamp is placed on a table, and Is con
nected on the one hand with an elec
trlo generator, and oh tho other with
a, microphone, which can bo placed at
any distance, oven miles away. On tho
current being passed and the lump
alight, anybody singing or speaking in
front or over tho microphone board Is
Immediately heard by everybody In tho
room where the lamp Is placed. The
aru lamp reproduces every sound with
startling clearness, it Is necessary,
however, for people, looking at tho lump
10 wear smoked glusses, owing to Its
'intensity.
The Invention Is decidedly Ingenious,
but at present It Is dlfileult to see what
useful purpose it can servo, except as a
substitute for tho thcutrophone, over
which it possesses the advantage of
allowing a hundred or more persons to
listen to iv concert miles awuy Instead
of only two, as Is tho caso with tho
thcutrophone, Tho Inventor, however,
is of opinion that at u later period,
when nioro thoroughly developed, tho
speaking light may have great scienti
fic possibilities before It,
