Clever Scientists Have Often Proved Hopelessly Wrong in Their Conclusions.

Sir Humphrey Davy’s dogmatic’pronouncement against .gaslighting is not the only instance of a clever scientist being hoplqssly wrong. The early history of cabling furnishes two striking examples. Consulted on the scientific side of the project, Farraday asserted that the first cables were made too small. Then He said that “the larger the wire the more electricity would be required to charge it,” and in this quite Incorrect opinion he was supported by other eminent scientists. As a result of this dictum the current was increased until the operation “electrocuted” the wire and the cable broke down. It was Lord Kelvin who by sending messages through heavy cables with Incredibly weak electric current proved that Faraday was mistaken, says the Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Airy submitted the project to mathematics and arrived at the conclusion that a cable could not be submerged to the necessary depth anfi that if it could no recognizable signal could ever travel from Ireland to Nova Scotia. In aviation the late Doctor Newcomb, one of the most distinguished mathematicians the world has ever produced, declared that he had mathematically investigated all the conditions operating against the heavier-than-air machine and was convinced that the airplane would never be any more than a scientific toy, and the possibility of an airplane motor being reliable in the reduced atmospheric pressure above 3,000 feet was by several experts said to be out of the question.

The “Blowgun.”

Among the Koasti Indians , .the “btowgun” is still used for shooting birds. This weapon consists of a tube, usually a cane, about six feet long, rubbed smooth on the inside with an Implement made for the purpose, and carefully straightened with the aid of fire. Slender pointed darts about eight Inches long are used as ammunition, each one wrapped neatly along a third of Its length with thistledown or cotton to make it flt the inside of the tube. The hunter places a dart in the tube, which he raises to his head and aims at his game; then a quick puff of breath drives the little dart flying

with sufficient force to impale and kill H small bird or squirrel.

Ancients Fumigated Much As Modern Physicians Do Today.

That the ancients knew the microbes of diseases is Impossible to imagine, yet It is certain that many of them understood that there were such things. i»r. Jonathan Wright of Pleasantville, N. Y., quotes in the Scientific Monthly from many Roman, Arabian and other writers extracts that prove this. Tnat many of them called the unseen offenders “demons” does not alter the fact. Varro and Columella, in the first century after Christ, ascribed the diseases of Rome to little animals which live In the swamps and are breathed by men. This is coming very close to the modern conception. And the Egyptian and Assyrian censers, thousands of years before Christ, .burned resinous drugs and let loose the smoke of ethereal oils to exorcise the little demons of disease, precifcely as our board of health doctors until very recently fumigated -our houses to kill the germs of contagion. How eflicacious either method may be is neither here nor there, the essential fact being that the ancients, without microscopes, had discovered the great truth upon which modern science to based.

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, ITO.

Some Observations.

The trouble with some folks Is that they don’t consider they are having a good time unless they are making a nuisance of themselves. Nobody works quite so well as the man who has had a good night’s sleep. A man may think he is hiding his dissipations from his employers but his work tells. It’s easy enough to find friends In fair weather; the man with an umbrella to lend when it is raining Is the bird. As a general rule If the boss isn’t on the Job himself.v the cterks aren’t either. The history books would be bigger than they are if all men had accomplished half the things they intended to do. ... What’s become of the oldfashioned hoy who had the notion that lie had to go to New York to make his fortune?

A Good Creed.

You can’t make a real success without making real enemies. You can’t hold a strong position without strong opposition. You can’t seem right to any if you don’t seem wrong to many. A useful life can’t be entirely peaceful and carefree. Every earnest man In every generation has paid the You can’t dodge. The greater you are, the greater the penalty of your progress. The further you go, the wider your range of contact with which you must reckon, and therefore, yOu multiply your battles against misconception, and slander and envy and malice. You can’t avoid or evade your allotted destiny—you can only hold down v your share of troubles by holding back. In‘every sphere men gibe’and sneer —even the peace of the ditch-digger Is threatened by the unemployed laborer who covets his Job. So long as you aspire, others will conspire—so long as you try others will vie.

You’ll have hostility to face in every place and at every pace. Go straight ahead to your goal. So. long as your conscience isn’t ashamed to acknowledge you as a friend, don’t give a rap for your enemies.

A poor man may have advice without paying for it, concerning his dog or donkey or goat, and cows are also treated. One of these, a valuable Alderney, was kicked by a vicious horse and the fracture was so serious that the leg was amputated and a wooden one substituted, the latter being kept in place by broad straps around the body.

Why You Eat Food.

Nine-tenths of our food is eaten to supply heat and energy. The amount of heat and energy required by individuals Is reckoned in calories. The most accurate way to determine how much food to buy for a family, is to figure how many calories the members require, says a writer in the Woman’s Home Companion. Tables of food values with directions for using them are, published by both national and state agricultural departments. There are also simple textbooks that explain clearly the usefulness of reckoning by calories. These books are readily understood after a little study of them. When one knows approximately how 'many calories each member of the family requires, and how many calories .certain amounts of food contain, one can settle with definite figures the old question that used to be answered by guesswork only: “How much shall I buy?"

NEW WORLD’S RECORD FOR FIRST BASEMAN

What is Relieved to be a new world’s record for chances accepted in a single game of ball was established the other day by Daubert, the Brooklyn first baseman, when he had 27 putouts and four assists in the 224nning battle with the Pirates. At least this Is a latterday record. Jake himself disposed of as many men as are required to complete a nine-inning contest and even so he did not kill off a third of the men retired in this one. He was the only Brooklynite to handle morethan ten putouts, except'Otto Miller, who caught the whole game and slew 13 opponents. Other Records. In the famous 24-lnnlng tilt between the Athletics and Red Sox at Boston, September 1, 1906, the longest game in major league history, none of the first basemen even approached Daubert’s record. Grimshaw of Boston had 20 putouts and two assists. Davis and Schreck divided up the

Here’s a further tribute to baseball as a civilizer U The Japanese government, it is reported, plans to send two college teams In a tour of its territory in Manchuria,-partly to make the Japanese colonists there feel in touch with the home land, und further to get the natives Interested, so that they will have less time to grumble about Japanese governmental policies.

initial bag labor for the Mackmen. Harry had 12 putouts and an assist and Ossie 16 putouts. The two together thus were two short of Daubert. Pitcher Makes New Record. It Is probable that Pitler of the Pirates also hung up a new mark for second-sackers when he took care of 15 putouts and four assists, a total of 19 chances without error. Only Daubert of the players In this game exceeded him. One of the remarkable features of this battle was the good control shown by several of the nitci vs. Jacobs walked only three men In 17 innings, and Cheney but one In 13. Pittsburgh had 22 men left on the bases, which comes close to being a record, and Brooklyn was not far behind with 18. Bigbee of Pittsburgh was at bat 11 times and made six hits, while Myers of Brooklyn was up ten times and g t five safeties.

CLEVER WALTER PIPP

Yankees’ First Baseman Is Most Remarkable Player. Earned Title of Home-Run Clouter of Hie Circuit While but TwentyThroe Years of Age—ln CleanUp Position. Walter Plpp, first baseman of the Yankees, is one of the most remarkable players developed in the last decade by the American league. Last season, while only twenty-three years old, this clever performer earned the home-run title of his circuit and also batted in more runners during the season than any other ball player of the Johnson organization. His bitting was more effective than that of Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Jbe Jackson. Eddie Collins and ,several others who topped him In the official averages. Plpp bats fourth in Bill Donovan’s order. Fourth place is considered the “clean-up” position. There is a fine distinction when it is remembered that J. Franklin Baker, the home-run king of Connie Mack’s famous world champion pennant trust, is now a team-mate of the Michigan marvel. In Pipp and Baker the Yankees possess an ideal offensive pair such as has carried more than one team to success. Walter and Frank are to New York Just what Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford were to the Tigers many years before Wahoo began to slow up. Plpp is not so fast as Cobb, of course, but still he

Walter Pipp.

is a good base runner, one capable of getting the utmost inch on both his own and Baker’s blows. Plpp stands today as an example of the sound baseball sense of Manager Donovan. When Wild Bill was brought over from Providence pennant fame to assume charge of the Yankees by Messrs. Ruppert and Huston, the new owners, he found that the Detroit club had given New York options on Pipp and Hughie High. Both Pipp and High made good, and formed a nucleus around which it was possible to build the present strong structure. Like most of the prominent American league sluggers, Walter Plpp is a left-handed batsman. He throws with his right band, a qualification regarded as a great advantage for first-base play. , Pipp is a grand fielder, active, agile and certain with his hands. He is possessed of a wonderful reach —he stands six feet two inches in height, and weighs 180 pounds.

THREE SWATS WERE ENOUGH

Gawky Michigan Pitcher Who Could Fool Ty Cobb Is Given Chance to Show Jennings. Hughie Jennings, manager of the Tigers, recently had a letter from a Michigan pitcher who stated that he could strike out Ty Cobb three times out of four trips to the plate. It only cost SI.BO to get a peep at this pitcher and. Working on the old motto that you never can tell, Jennings forwarded the one buck and eight dimes. The pitcher came, a six-foot fourinch man. He was gawky and he was all joints and bone. Cobb was called and he faced the new marvel. The first pitch Cobb whacked against the right-field walL The next was good for four bags whenTy pasted It, and the third flew to deep center and was a four-ply shot. “Well, what have you got to say?" asked Jennings. “I don’t think that’s Cobb,” said the pitcher. Needless to say, that ended the pitcher’s career.

Not Counting Canadians, Americans Find Lot of Nifty Players Among Australians. The American hoys in France are finding out that they are not the only men who can play hall. Not counting the Canadians, or “Americansthere are in the Australian part of the British empire’s army a lot of very nifty baseballers.
