J.J. Has Been Popular, in One Perm*or Another, for Many Hundreds of Yeara/- w- Certainly played^bjr^the Roman Em. peror Augustus, the game of marbles Is of great antiquity. .In the early days.nuts were used instead of the marbles. In some seventeenth-ctntury verses a law student is described as a "dab at taw." The phrase "knuckle down at taw" is almost classical, and the rule doubtless explains th? fact that the game is almost confined to boy&T for girls naturally dislike the disci plinary process of pressing the knu ckle of their forefinger upon the stone or gravel. The word taw means (1) the marble Itself, especlally'the alley taw (2) the ring Into which marble* are shot (8) the line behind which the player, must keep Jais foot when he shoots. The origin of the term is uncertain, and It Is sometimes less correctly writ ten tor, to which/Dickens has given the sanction of his authority, when he represents Mr. Pickwick making inquiries as to young Berdell's alley tbrs. The alley-taw-of doubly uhcetv tain derivationis thereat kind 0*1 marble, which the player always'uses for his shot, if he is lucky enough to possess such a one while the commoner sorts are used as butts to be aimed at, or counters to-be won or lost. v.. The alley-taw ^as, and still, com* "monly is, made of real marble (orlgv lnally, It Is said, of alabaster), and Is most prized if It contains reti veips, being thin called a blood-alley. 'It might be worth fifty of the baser sort, or even be outside the possibility of barter. Next in value came stbnles, made of hard grey stone and glazed. Potteys were also glazed and were made of clay, appearing in many dlf-^ ferent colors. Commoneys or mara dlddlea were of unbaked clay." Olass marbles were seldom used, being rele gated-to girls or to the CUTIOUB gome of solitaire. Has Served Country Well.

Next Door ENGINEER CLAIMS HE CAN CUT COAL COST 1 V* (By United Press.) Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 8.-r-Prof. J. W. Dorsey of the University of Man itoba has announced, after an ex haustive survey of tl)e water.power resources of Winnipeg .river, that he has discovered,.,a,new ?method of transmitting electric power which will reduce the cost one-half. He has been called to lay his discovery before the United States bureau,of standards at Washington. -}& "Long before the coal fields eftjthe world are exhausted, electricity^fjiriU have supplanted coal as the -universal fuel in homes and the motive power ill industry," said Prof. Doraey. "By tlie 'development ofjwatef power, it is possible to do away with the neces sity for^coal. If the potential water power of Winnipeg river were devel oped it would -be sufficient to tu very factory, wheel in Canada and mained at 40 degrees below zero-all thevyear round. It would be vastly cheaper for Winnipeg to obtain its electric heat and power from Win nipeg" river eighty miles away than to haul coal 1,400 miles from Penn sylvania." It js from Winnipeg river that the municipality owned' hydro-electric system derives its power which is sold to industrial plants at a lower rate than in any other city's power plant, another which will cost $9*000,000 is .being erected, on Winnipeg river at Du Bonnet Falls Pretense Called For. r'.BdwaVd had come to spend the time with Betty while^ his mother .went to t^etclob.
