The men in training for the Englewood High-School team are a heavy set,
and should develop into a strong eleven. Lake View High-School ought to
appear somewhere near the top at the end of the season; in Wiezerowski,
captain of the team, they have the best end that has ever played in the
League. The Manual-Training School players are laboring with the
difficulty of an unsportsmanlike faculty, and will probably be unable to
develop a good eleven. Evanston High is also unfortunate in having but
three of last year's men back again, but with good coaching they ought
to be able to do something by the end of the season. Oak Park H.-S. is
about as badly off, having but two players of last year's team in
school, and few men capable of filling the vacancies. Oak Park's eleven
last year made the State record of scoring the greatest number of points
in any one game; it defeated English High, 80-0.

Any question in regard to photograph matters will be willingly
answered by the Editor of this column, and we should be glad to
hear from any of our club who can make helpful suggestions.
Owing to the number of questions, we devote the entire Department to
answers this week.
SIR KNIGHT LUTHER PFLUEGER sends a description of a way in which
one of his friends made lantern-slides. He bought some glass strips
of a size to fit his lantern [Lantern-slide covers could be
used.--Ed.] and some transfer-pictures which are used by
school-boys to embellish their books. He gave the strips of glass a
thin coat of mucilage, and allowed it to dry. He then applied the
paper, which had been wet in such a way that the paper was
thoroughly soaked, but the face of the picture was dry. (The
pictures could be wet by thoroughly saturating a piece of
blotting-paper with water, and laying the pictures on it, face up.)
He then pressed the pictures on to the glass, took hold of one
corner of the paper, and pulled it off, leaving, if successful, the
thin film of the picture on the glass. This part of the operation
requires carefulness. This method enabled him to make cheap and
pleasing slides. Thanks for the description; some of our amateurs
will be glad to try it.
