DENBIGH v. LLANRWST. Denbigh were again at home on Satar- day. Llanrwst being the visitors, in a league encounter. The match was played on the Gfaig-rosd ground before a fair gate." The weather was delightful, and the ground in splendid condition. Dick Thomas was again unable to play, and Dr Benson Evans ably deputised for him. The referee was Mr R H Williams, Ruthin, The following were the teams Denbigh Sam Griffiths Arthur Lewis, Len Lawis H Oartwright, T A Davies, J Price Thomas D Lloyd Will Isms, T Benson Evant, E E Davies, Frank Griffiths, and Joel Bennett. Llanrwst: Dick Jones; A Carter, Roberts W Riobards, H P Evans, W T Jones; W Johnson, J Oven, Jim Erans Lunt, and Dennis Jones. Llanrwst woa the toss and played up the slope. Denbigh at once swooped dOJrn, and had the advantage of the opening ( stages, Frank Griffiths netting. Directly r afterwards Ned Evan shot over. Llanrwst got going on the right, and a bad miss nearly let them in, bat J P Thomas effected a timely clearance, Llanrwst persisted in their efforts and gained a corner, Sam Griffiths being called to save. The venue was now changed, and D LI corner, Sam Griffiths being called to save. The venue was now changed, and D Ll Williams sent behind. The Denbigh combination was superb, and fairly swamped the Roosters' defence, Joel Bennett eon- verting with a grind shot.

FOOTBALL & FOOTBALLERS. BY B. J. EVANS. ILLUSTRATED BY JACK DODWORTB. The results of the games last Saturday in con- nection with the fourth round of the English Cup speak eloquently of the clwenesa with which the teams were matched. There were only four goals scored in the four games, and five of tho eight clubs playing failed to score a single point. Two of the matches ended in pointless draws, and the other two resulted in wins by a I single goal. The match at Sheffield between th« j Wednesday and the Villa drew the biggest crowd, for nearly 57,000 people paid £ 2.302 at the gates. This game was remarkable in that for the first quarter of an hour the home side seemed to be the only one in the picture. After that, however, the Birmingham men found their proper form, and eventually played much the better football, and won deservedly by a goal which Edgley scored just before the interval. A crowd of 36,000 people paid XI,800 to see the last hope of the south," Queen's Park Rangers, play Liverpool at the Lancashire port. The Rangers have only themselves to blame that they lost, for they were every bit as good as the First Leaguers, and they actually were awarded two penalty kicks in the course of the game. Only one of these was converted. tntit the closing stages the play was of a. very poor kind, but as time drew near matters became more exciting. Sunderland could only force a draw against Burnley, although they had the advantage of ground, but the game was a very fast one. and well worth seeing. Just over = £ 2,000 was taken, and, whoever wins the re- plav, the coffers of both clubs will have been filled to overflowing. At the time of writing these notes the replay had not taken place, but Burnley appear to have a good chanco for the semi-final, for they are famous for their excel- lence on their own enclosure. Manchester City i _10L_æ_L1 T1.¡'A..1 n'o th" nthnr sides to anci OUelUlll Uiniru -1.7 "U'-J v/v-- fight out a drawn game, the meeting producing a strenuous exhibition of football. The draw for the semi-final round has resulted in Aston Villa. having to play Liverpool on Tottenham Hotspur's ground, and the winners of the re- plavs meeting either in Manchester or Black- burn. The venue of the latter game depends upon whether Manchester City get through their game this week. If they do they will play at Blackburn. League Fray. The two London sides were engaged in the few matches in the First League on Saturday, and Tottenham Hotspur gained a useful brace of points at home against Preston North End. Chelsea, on the other hand, lost by two goals to love at Middlesbrough, and. unless they are very careful, thev will find themselves once again in the danger-zone. Just at this time of the year it does not do to let points slip too easily Everton went to Bradford and won by a coal to nil. while West Bromwich Albion lost at Bolton. In the Second Division, Notts County won the useful maxima. points at Fulham. and elwa placed themselves in what appears to be an invincible position at Hie top of t1". ladder. Woolwich Arsenal, however, could only get a point from the bottom-notchers, Notts Forest, and unless they play very well in the next few matches, they will not gain promotion after all. Hull City beat Glossop, and now hold a better position in the table than tiie Arsenal. With Leeds City and Bradford also close up, none of the leading ridea, exeept Notts County, can afford to drop another point if they are to re- main seriously in the running for the rich prize they are after. Notts Forest are still pretty securely fixed at the bottom of the ladder, but s, any collapse oa the part of other Pidos there- I abouts may serve to save their bacon. Swindon Up Again. Swindon have once more assert-ed their superiority in the Southern League, and have a lead of two points over Crystal Palace. They ac- complished this by winning easily at home against Gillingham, the score being five goals to one. The Palace were at Plymouth, and they could only get a point away from the West with groat difficulty. Neither side ec-ored, and the eontest was one in which defence prevailed over attack. It will be remembered that it was only a short while ago that Swindon fell on the Argyle grol" nd. so the Londoners may account themselves lucky that they were Not defeated. Millwali have been for some time in danger of relegation, so unevenly have they played, but, now the Cup games are over for them, they can take tho League fixtures more seriously, and th"y signalised their intention of so doing on Saturday by decisively beating Brighton in London by three goals to one. They are thus entirely out of danger, and if they give many morrt such displays they will climb high in ITie table before the last game has been played this season. Cardiff City retain their position in the middle of the table. for they fought out a point- less draw with Northampton. Merthyr Town had not won lately, but they managed on their own ground to get both points from Watford, and they may yet escape the^last place. They have a virtual lead over Coventry—whatever that may be worth-and also over Watford, so they may with luck live to see another season with the first division of the Southern League. The King Sees The Services. His Majesty was present at the annual game between the Army and the Navy at Queen's ■ Club on Saturday, and a very fine tussle he wit- nessed. During the past eight years the Navy had won six matches, the Army one, and the last was to be contested when the King took his seat on the touch-line. After a. most. strenuous and exciting fight the Army registered their second win, and that against what current form had suggested. The Navy commenced at a great pace and scored first, but twenty minutes from the kick-off the men in red asserted a. superiority which they held right up to the in- terval, at which time they led by 18 points to 3. The Navy then had more to say in the matter, and, scoring a goal and then a try in quick suc- cession, it looked as if they might yet pull the game out of the fire. The Army again stepped in, however, and won by 26 points to 14, or 4 goals 2 tries to 1 goal 3 tries. Next Saturday Wales plays Ireland at Belfast, and the visitors should obtain a win, though they will be handi- capped by the absence of Bancroft, who broke a rib last week when playing for Swansea against Devon Albion.

NICE DISHES. STRAWBERRY TRIFLE. Take a sixpenny sponge-cake, and neatly scoop out a good por- tion of its centre; pour over it just sufficient hot milk, flavoured with essence of vanilla, to moisten it without making it soft enough to lose its shape. Remove 1,he stems from a pflynd of (strawberries and slightly crush them with a fork. Make a custard with the yolks of four egg3, a pint of milk. and three or four table- spoonfuls of castor sugar; stir it over a slow fire, without allowing it to boil, until it thickens; then add the crushed strawberries, blend thoroughly together, and pour into the cavity prepared in the cake. Decorate with very red strawberries, cut into halves, and stand on side to become cold. STRAWBERRY TAHTI KTS.—Remove the stalks from a pound of perfectly sound strawberries, cur each herry in half (with a silver knife. if pos- sible), ar,d put them into an enamelled saucepan with four table.spoonfuls of ea-ior sugar. Sim- mer very ..lowly until the strawberries are just soft without being broken. Beat, the volks of two esrgs to a strong froth, and put them into another tiiall saucepan with a tablespoonful of ground rice and the juice strained from the strawberries, then stir over the fire until the mixture becomes thick, but it must not boil. Line the required number of rather deep patty- pans with puff-paste, put a small crust of bread into the centre of each, and bake in a quick oven. Remove the crusts, three parts fill the tart- let-. when cold. with the .prepared strawberries. and cover lightly with the custard. Instead of the custard, the tarts may be masked with a lt snow, made with the whites of the eggs and two tablespoonfuls of fine sugar, beaten to. gether until it is stiff enough to suppopt tilo weight of a teaspoon. STRAWBERRY AND RICE PITDDIKG.—Simmer ? quarter of a pound of rice in a quart of milk un,il it is quite tender and most of the milk ie absorbed, then beat in two ounces of butter, and su;Tar and salt to taste. Line the ecige of a pic. dish with paste; spread a quarter of the rice over the bottom of it. then a. layer of halved strawberries, repeating the layers until the dish is full. Bake for half an hour, and when per- fectly cold turn out into a glass dish, decorate with smalt strawberries, and pour the following sauce round the pudding: Whip the white of one egg- to a very stiff froth, then stir in lightly the beaten vo!k and two ounces of castor sugar; lastly, add a gill of well-whipped cream, and the sauco is ready for use.

EFFECTS OF COLOUR ON HEALTH. Important as is the effect of colour on materials, it exercises a much greater influ- ence on the human system, says Mr. John Mastin, F.C.S., in the Magazine of Com- merct. From actual experiment it is found that red associations encourage growth and vitality, and are healing, opposed to the spread of disease, and limit its power, for which, and for other reasons, sick persons are sometimes kept in red rooms in eertain ill- nesses the efficacy of red flannel also for eore throat is acknowledged to be scientific fact. This red-treatment of the sick, how- ever, is but a modern application of similar practices in the dark ages; still, beneficial results seem to follow the treatment, and theoretically this should be so, from the very nature of the rays. Rising in the colour scale, we find yellow aids all intellectual pur- suits, and gives tone to the brain, especially so if yellow is of a golden hue and of the tertiary colours, brown produces a similar effect, being conducive to study and thought; it would, therefore, appear that this colour should be the predominating tone of a room in which plans, designs, and estimates are worked out. The green of nature gives an en- tirely opposite effect.

RADIO-ACTIVITY IN THE EARTH. If Erdmann is right in his interpretation oi the origin of a blower of gaa in one of the workings at Leopoldshall, lie has obtained evidence of a considerable amount of radio- activity in the earth. This issue of gas occurs at It vepth of 1,500ft., and has been blowing since August, 1904. As to composi- tion, it contains about eighty-four per cent. of hydrogen, four of methane or marsh gas, and twelve of other gases, including neon and- helium. The amount of helium is greater than that of neon, and these two rare elements together constitute about one-fifth per cent. of the blower. According to Erd- mann's interpretation, the helium arises from the breaking up of the radium of the waters of the sea from which the strata were de- posited. The hydrogen he regards a arising from the decomposition of water by radio- activity.

THE LEFT LOBE OF THE BRAIN. Professor Frederick W. Mott, in a lecturé on The Brain at the Royal Institution, discussing the question whether the two hemi- spheres of the brain were distinct or not, said he found little or no difference in weight in the two except in diseased conditions. Though the left hemisphere was concerned with speech and dexterity, yet there was no preponderance in the weight of the left hemi- sphere nor any larger degree of complexity. I He was unable to subscribe to the opinion that the left hemisphere received a larger eupply of blood than the right. Another opinion was that the heavier organs, like the lungs and the liver, being on the right Bide, had determined certain mechanical ad- vantages which led to righthandednee-s in 98 per cent. ef the population. That theory had been disproved by the fact that cases in which had been complete transposition of the viscera had not been lefthanded. The brain acted as a whole in thought, and did so by virtue of a bridge which connected the two hemispheres.

DUST AND CLEAR AIR. Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden calls attention to the importance of floating dust, and notes from careful experiments which have been made that ordinary ventilation, however effective it may be in supplying fresh air and in removing contaminated gases, has no note- worthy effect in the removal of dust, either floating or at rest. Experiments also prove that hanging gar- ments out of doors merely is not to be eom- mended. Unless such articles are brushed, or beaten, or shaken, or unless they flap violently in the wind, bacteria are not re- moved in great numbers. The writer empha- sises the fact that a large part of so-called disinfection might be replaced to advantage with proper methods of sweeping, dusting, and mopping, if all these were not so simple and commonplace, and if everyone could realise the significance of dust in the convey- ance of infectious agents. He emphasises the importance of the use of moist mops on the floors, and of moist dust-cloths on the solid furniture, while denouncing the employment of the feather duster. The sprinkling of damp sawdust on floors before sweeping is a great aid in getting rid of much dust.

[ JUMPING STARS. One of the most interesting things appear- r ing in the telescope when that instrument is I pointing heavenward is the appearance of jumping sfcaiv*. Of course, we can see stars (winkle without a telescope; but with a telescope they may be seen to jump and aetualjy to. dance. The cause, eaya Science >Mf rings, » tric same—mixing currents oi light and heavy air causing refraction or bending of the rays of light coming from the star. "VYe can see the same phenomenon by looking at a small object in a room through the air directly over a hot radiator. The object seems to jump and dance as if playing hide and seek with itself. This jumping in the telescope or twinkling to the naked eye has also been explained by what is called in- terference. If two sources of light are placed close to each other, then on a screen placed properly, we can catch an alternate band of white and dark lines. Of course, if the eye be placed at a dark line it can SEE NEITHER SOURCE OF LIGHT. The production of these dark lines is accom- plished by different light waves reaching the screen in opposite phases so as to blot out or cancel the effect due to each. In like manner it can be shown that if the star has polychro- matic (many coloured) light, it can, and has actually been observed to, change colour from this effect alone. The best time to observe this effect of etar-dancing is on a cold, crisp night. The telescope should be pointed to a twinkling star as near the horizon as can be found, as to see a star on the horizon we havo to look through much more atmosphere than to see one in the zenith, a.nd there is conse- quently more chance for varied currents.

THE CONQUEST OF LOCKJAW. The popular belief that a wound from treading on a rusty nail is very likely to cause tetanus is quite correct. This is not because it is a nail or is rusty, says Dr. W. W. Keene in Harper'# Magazine, but because by lying on the ground it has become infected with the germ* of lockjaw. Moreover, as the punc- tured wound caused by the nail bleeds but little and this blood dries up and excludes the r.ir, the most favourable conditions for the development of tetanus exit, for. as Kitasato, the Japanese bacteriologist, proved, the ab- sence of oxygen is most favourable to the growth of this germ. The germ itself looks very much like a tack. So virulent is it that its toxin in deses of 1-200,OOOTH OF A TEASPOONFCR, will kill a mouse. It has be?n found by ex- periment that the poison is carried up t;) the spinal cord, not by the absorbents or the blood-vessels, as are other poisons, but through the motor nerves themselves. Fortu- nately, an anti-poison or antidote has been developed, but so prompt is the action of the poison that in an animal, two minutes after the injection of a fatal dose of the poison, twice as much of the remedy is required as if it had been administered with the poison; after eight minutes ten times the amount, and after ninety minutes forty times the original amount is necessary. This antitoxin is entirely harmless. As a result of antiseptic methods lockjaw is now almost unknown EXCEPT AFTER NEGLECTED WOLDS. instead of being terribly frequent as it for- merly was. When it is feared, the antitoxin is used as a preventive, and when it has de- veloped. as a cure.

PICKLE-MAKING. The best months for making pickled, Wrifefc "Pepita" in the Mark Lane Exp-ress, are August and September, except for walnuts, which should not be left later than July, M after that the fruit gets woody. Only the be** vinegar should he u.ed. and it is best to do the boiling of it in an enamelled saucepan, and stir it. with wooden spoons onir. In the case of pickle such as T<d cabbage, which should eat crisp, the vinegar should lie allowed to cool be- fore being poured in but with green vegetables, as gherkins or French beane, it should be quit* boiling, a-s that will help to keep the colour. RED CABBAGE. Choose a good red-coloured cabbage with a nice heart, ai)ci after stripping off the outer leaves cut the rest into very thin shreds. Spread the shreds out on a dish, sprinkle a good deal of salt over them, and leave them for twenty-four hours. Then squeeze out all the salt, put the shreds in a jar (glass ones are the heft), cover with cold boiled vinegar, and tie down the jars closely.
