lnvincibles Fall Dowu ami
Are Walked On
Thf lnvincibles -F, C. Flaharty, Dr, j
Norman and K. J. Barry? were defeat- j
ed three straight games on the Elks'
Club bowling aliey last night by the
Fifth Avenues? E. A. Murphy, M. S.
Whittier and C. FI Scheiller The J
scores made by the bowlers were not
large, but the "rooting" was so persis
tent, so vociferous and so artistic that [
the excitment was none the le's on that
account.
It was in many re>pects the greatest
night ever experienced by bowlers at
the Elks' Club. The clang and din of
the "rooters" was immense. In fact,
it seemed that the contest was a matter
of lung testing. Apparently it was a
ca?e of getting the most "rooters" with
the greatest bellowing capacity and the
most persistent staying power at the
receiving end of a horn.
There was fun? rolicking, full-grown,
completely abandonded fun. Fun for
everybody more fun for everybody
'?lse than for the bow.ers.
It was a "rooters' " eight, too. The
fayontes? tnose whose chances to win
were regarded brighter? lost all three
games. When the "gang" saw that
its noise rather than the skill of the
bowler* was winning, then it did go.
It had a band out, and all the wind
splitting devicis that its ingenuity
could provide, and it u;ed all its noise
making appnratus to the best of its
splendid abilities.
E. A. Murphy made the highest score
and the second highest average, in the
bowling. Barry made the highest
average and the second btst score.
The scores were as follows:

Spoiled It All.
A farmer went to hear John Wesley
preach. Wesley said he would take up
three topics of thought. He was talk
ing chiefly about money. His first was,
"(.lot all you can." The farmer nudged
a neighbor and said: "This is strange
preaching. I never heard the like be
fore. This is very good." Then Wes
ley discoursed on "Industry," "Activi
ty." "Living to Purpose." and reached
his second division. "Save all you can."
The farmer became more excited.
"Was there ever anything like this?"
he said. Wesley denounced thriftless
ness and waste, and he satirized the
willful wickedness which lavishes In
luxury, and the farmer rubbed hi?
hands, and lie thought, "All this I
have been taught from my youth up,"
and what with getting in ml what with
hoarding it seemed to liim that "sal
vation" had come to his house. But
Wesley advanced to his third head,
which was "Cive all you can." "Ah.
dear; all, dear," said the farmer; "he
has goue and spoiled it ail!"
Hcliotropinm.
neliotrop;sin is the peculiar propert)
shown by many plants, notably th?
sunflower, of always turning toward
the sun. In the case of seedlings the
phenomenon is especially marked. The
cells on the light side are apparently
retarded in growth, thus causing a
curvature toward that side. Professor
Romanes experimented with an inter
mittent light, such as that of an elec
tric spark discbarge, upon mustard
seedlings and found the heliotropic
effect proifliced !n this way far greater
than that cansed by the sun or any
other form of light. Strange to say,
however, this abnormal influence is un
accompanied by the generation of
