Football is typical of more than one side of life. Mr. Stephen Crane, hls

horribly realistic effects in the “Red Badge of Courage,” from an Amer-
ican University football match.
And for this and other elements of the game, to-day the interest of sport-loviag
America is centered on the training of the elevens of the great colleges.

their nature and operation. His ex-
planation of the mystery of the geome-
trical construction of the hexagonal
cell, which had baffled the savants for
centuries, was published in a series of
articles in the Scientific American in
1860, and subsequently in the Bee
Keepers’ Journal. Applying his know-
ledge of the geometrical properties of
the hexagon to a close observation of
the bee-cell and the habits of. the
worker, he had discovered as early as
1852 an intimate relation between the
length of’the antennz and the size of
the cell, which is the same respectively
for the two kinds of cells in all hives.
His investigations. led him to the
assured conviction that the hexagonal
form is due to this relation; that every
adult worker is supplied with a uniform
rule and compass, each side of the cell
for the embryo worker being equal to
the length of the forearm of ‘the an-
tenna and each side of the cell for the
embryo drone being equal to the length
of the whole antenna. The mandibles,
hard, horny organs, are the mechanical
instruments, the antenneze being applied
as delicate, sensitive calipers to the
walls of the cells until the wax is drawn
out to the utmost tenuity compatible
with strength.
He never sought public office, but
accepted such as suited his convenience.
In 1847 he was elected the Brookhaven
Superintendent of Common Schools,
an office which involved the examina-
tion of teachers and the visitation of
about forty schools. Six years after-
wards, he was elected a trustee of the
school district, when the opportunity
occurred of securing a site of an acre
in the central part of the village for a
much needed school house, and he
obtained the decision of the majority
of the voters for its purchase and the
erection of a suitable building against

the opposition of some of the tax-
payers. The sides of the school room
are embellished with busts of national
characters which he _ presented.
His physical activity had _ scarcely
suffered wane. Always fond of athlet-
ics, he organized while in college the
Pioneer Boat Club, which was the
foundation of the Yale “navy, and
continued through life to indulge in
various sports. Only last winter he
renewed his youth, by issuing an “ex-
traordinary challenge’ to any person
of seventy years or upwards to engage
in a skating contest of from 50 to 500
miles, and a challenge to any person,
regardless of age, to compete in de-
lineating the Ten Commandments on
ice. It has been asserted by some
English writers on “figure skating”
that it is impossible to describe letters
on ice. He demonstrated that skate-
writing is possible, and possible on a
large scale. He was skilled inthe use of
amechanics’ tools, and had a workshsp
supplied with a great variety of imple-:
ments. From his earliest childhood he
had corifined himself to cold water as
a beverage, to the entire exclusion of
all spirituous liquors, as well as tea and
coffee; nor had he ever used tobacco
in any form. To this abstemiousness
and to his out-door employments he
ascribed his long, unimpaired robust
health. In 1893 he made two visits to
the World’s Fair at Chicago.
With all his occupations he found
time for regular reading and _ study.
He delighted in the enjoyment of the
young and was commissioned by Santa
Claus, on his last anniversarv. to distri-
bute his gifts to the children of St.
Andrew’s Church, Yaphank, and to
deliver an address, with a history of the
patron saint from the days when he
journeyed alone in a reindeer sleigh to
the present age, when he employs an
army of many thousands and transports
