EFFORTS TO GET

TWO MORE T S Jessup and Winters Desire to Get Anderson and Marion In the l.-O. League. WILL PLAY AT VAN WERT. QUAKERS WENT THERE TOfiAY WHERE THEY WILL CLASH WITH BUCKEYES IN SERIES PARKER GETS GOOD OFFERS. Manager Jessup loft this morning for Marion where: he will meet Bob Winters and other Muncie men, who have just taken over the Muncie franchise in the I. O. league. They will spend a few hours iu Marlon and will attempt to interest base ball lovers in that city to place an I. O. league team In the field. They are confident that they will be ahla to do bo. After concluding their business in Marion they will then go to Anderson where an effort will be made to interest the fans of that city to organize a stock company . for the purpose of placing a club in the field. Marion and Anderson each have good ball parks and they are centrally located, especially the one at Anderson, which is opposite the Pennsylvania station. The expense of placing a team in the field would not be great and, it is understood, the fans in both cities are extremely anxious for fast base ball. In the face of bad wefther and hard times, the four clubs in the I. O. league have not had a path of roses to traverse but at that they have been holding their own in a fairly creditable manner. The people backing the clubs feel fiat if two additional cities can be added to ihe league the fans will take a greater interest in the sport as il will make the pennant race more exciting. Wednesday there will be a league meeting at Muncie and at this meeting Manager Jessup and the new owners of the Muncie team will report the success or failure of their efforts to place teams in Anderson and Marion. Should they report that they have been unsuccessful in their efforts to place clubs there the league will cont'r,ue to operate with only four clubs. Quakers to Van Wert. The Richmond team left this morning for Van Wert under the management of Captain Parker. They will play there today, Wednesday and Thursday and then return home Friday for a three days series with Muncie. Beginning today Huntington will Dlay a three game series at Muncie. Parker WMI Remain. Clyde Parker, captain of the local team and star second sacker, has been receiving tempting offers from the Fairmount, ( W Va.) league team and he had been seriously considering going inhere. Last week while at Van Wert the Fairmount management wired him, unsolicited, some, advance money. This was tempting bait but Parker after serious consideration returned it, deciding that he would rather remain here. "I like Hichmond and 1 have never been treated better anywhere than in this city. Another reason why I have decided to remain here is because I like to play under Manager Jessup," Parker stated last evening. The decision of the hard hitting second baseman to remain with the local club will be hailed with delight by all the fans with whom Parker is a great favorite. A Problem In Numbers. No one is known to have succeeded In finding two integral numbers such that the sum of their cubes would produce the cube of n whole number. The cubes of the first ten numbers give the following series: l-8-27-(54-123-21G-343-512-729-1. COO. This series may . be prolonged indefinitely. The problem would theu be to find two members of the series such that their sum is just equal to another member. Adding 125 and 21C we get 341. which is certainly pretty close to 313. Again, adding 216 and 512. we obtain 72S. which is within a single unit of 729, another member of the series. Another example of being very close, but not exact, is that 729 plus 1,000 gives 1.729, which is but a single unit more than 1.72S. the cube of 12. It will thus be seen that the first twelve cubes yield two cases where the approximation Is but a unit out of the way. As the possible cubes are Infinite In number, it may seem worth while to prosecute the search. Scientific American. Trapped by Its Portrait. If an old English writer be true In his observations, the pheasant must bo a very simple bird, for he declares that It puts its head In the ground and thinks that all Its body Is then hidden. The same author says that it was also captured by another curious plan. A picture of the bird was painted on cloth and then placed in a spot where it was sure of being seen. By and by a silly pheasant coming along catches sight of the portrait and goes up to have a close view of the new neighbor. While engaged in inspecting the canvas the fowler draws near from behind and throws his net over the unwary art student The Dangers of Riches. More men have been ruined by affluence and Its consequent temptations than have ever been wrecked on the rock of poverty. To the rich man duty often loses its Imperative voice, and he tampers with Its claims and neglects Its fulfillment, while all the time he is breeding greed and selfishness in nis heart, to the defilement of his whole life. Against all this and much more the man of relative poverty is defended an kept Strand Magazine. EECKT: Gold Medal Flour for me. -CUBBLE.

The baseball game Wednesday afternoon between Earlham and Miami promises to be one of the fastest games the Quakers have taken part in this year. The Oxford players have had great success this year and artcoining up here with the expectation of giving the Quakers a severe drubbing. The constant practice which Coach Vail lias put the Quakers through will show in this game as the Miami men undergo no training whatever. This was shown in the recent dual meet between the two colleges in which Miami was defeated by the overwhelmingly large score of 92 to 17. The game will be called promptly at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. BASEBALL UMPIRES. Kicking on Their Decisions Is as Old as the Game. Much has been said and written about the habit that ball players have, and apparently cannot break themselves of entirely, of disputing deci sions of the umpire. The practice dates back for many years. As far back as 1800 in an account of a game between the famous Atlantlcs of Brooklyn and the Excelsiors there appeared the following: "We hope to see the boys' play of disputing over the decision of umpires entirely done away with." Many years have passed since that was written, and the players still dispute what in some quarters it is ar gued should be the sacred decisions of the judges of play. Nowadays the best umpires In the game make allowance for the state of mind a player is in while engaged In a close contest. The following extract is from a New York paper printed in 1807: "Kelly says that Peck's dummy has created quite an excitement on Ann street. Dressed In a full baseball rig. he looks quite natty. Scofield of the Haymakers did think about bringing the figure over to the Union grounds to act as umpire in the HaymakersEckford game yesterday, but a young man named Monell was found who answered nearly as well." New York Tribune. MEPHiSTO'S RING. A Jewel That Bears a Deadly Reputation In Spain. It seems strange to read in these days of a ring which is believed to have an evil influence over its owner and which is known as "Mephisto's ring." Yet such a ring exists and until recent years was in possession of the Spanish royal family. The ring is so; with a very large emerald, in the con ter of which is inserted a ruby. ! It is first heard of In the sixteenth j century, siuce when the kings who I owned it have suffered disasters unlim- ! ited. while the whole country has gradi ua'ly sunk from its former eminent po : sition. ! When the late Hispano-American ! war broke out the ring was presented to a church. The sacred building shortly after was destroyed by fire. The next resting place of the ring was a museum, which was twice struck by lightning while holding the ill omened jewel. The fatal ring has now, it Is said, been packed in a strong box and securely buried. It remains to be seen whether this will finally put an end to its "mystic" power. Fearson's Weekly.

WARNED BY DESERTS

What These Sandy Wastes Mean to Mother Earth. A DEATH GRIP ON THE WORLD They Indicate the Beginning of the End of Our Beautiful Planet, Which Is Doomed to Roll Through Space a Parched and Lifeless Orb. Deserts already exist on the earth, and the nameless horror that attaches to the word in the thoughts of all who have had experience of tiier.i or are gifted with imagination to conceive Is in truth greater tb&u we commonly suppose, for the cosmic circumstance about them which is most terrible is not that deserts are, but that deserts have begun to be. Not as local evitable evils are they only to be pictured, but as the general inescapable death grip on our world, for it is the beginning of the end. What depauperates the forests to grass lands and thence to wastes must in turn attack the sea bottoms when they shall have parted with their seas. Last of the fertile spots upon the planet because of the salts the streams have for ages washed down and of the remnant of moisture that would still drain Into them, eventually they must share the fortune of their predecessors and the planet roll a parched orb through space. The picture is forbidding, but the fact seems one to which we are constructively pledged and into which we are in some sort already adventured. Girdling the earth with what it takes but little personification to liken to the life extinguishing serpent's colls run two desert belts of country. The one follows, roughly speaking, the tropic of Cancer, extending northward from it; the other, the tropic of Capricorn. Arizona is in the northern band, as are the Sahara, Arabia and the deserts of central Asia. Now, these desert belts are growing. In the great desert of northern Arizona the traveler, threading his way across a sagebrush and cacti plain shut in by abrupt sided shelves of land rising here and there some hundreds of feet higher, suddenly comes upon a petrified forest. Trunks of trees in all stages of fracture strew the ground over a space some miles in extent. So perfect are their forms he is almost minded to think the usual wasteful woodchopper has teen by am? left the scattered products of his art in littered confusion upon the scene of his exploit Only their beautiful color conveys a sense of strangeness to the eye. and, leaning down and touching them, he finds that they are stone; chalcedony, not carbon! Form has outlived substance and kept the resemblance, while the particles of the original matter have all been spirited away. Yet so perfect is the presentment one can hardly believe the fact, and where one fallen giant spans a little canyon ono almost thinks to hear the sound of water rushing down the creek. But it Is some millions of years and more since this catastrophe befell, and the torrent, uprooting it, left it prone, with limbs outstretched in futile grasp upon the other side. A conifer it was, cousin only to such as grow today, and flourished probably in the cretaceous era. for the land has not been under water here since the advent of tertiary times. Nowhere near it, except for the rare cottonwoods along the bank of the Little Colorado, grows anything today. The land which once supported these forests Is incompetent to do so now. Yet nothing has changed there since except the decreasing water supply. During tertiary and quaternary time the rainfall has been growing less and less. Proof of this Is offered by the great pine oasis that caps the plateau of which these petrified forests form a part and is kerueled by the San Francisco peaks. The height above sea level of the spot where the chalcedony trunks are strewn is about 4,500 feet. The lower present limit of the pine in its full development is 6,500 feet Two thousand feet upward the verdure line has retreated since the former forests were. And this is no local alteration, for upon the other side of the plateau petrified remains of trees are similarly found. The line of perpetual green has risen because In desert regions the moisture Is found most plentiful nearest to the clouds from which it falls upon a parching earth. Streams, instead of gathering volume as they go, are largest nar their source and grow less and less with each fresh mile of flow. The brooks descending from the AntiLebanon, in Syria, water the gardens of Damascus and, thence issuing upon the plain, lose themselves Just beyond the threshold of its gates. So in the Arizona desert, though in a less degree, and those who llTe there know it but too well. From Fercival Lowell's "Mars and the Future of the Earth" In Century. Breaking Wire. Anybody who has tried to break a ptece of wire without the aid of n pair ; of pinchers will probably agree that the i operation is both a difficult and pain- ' ful one. There is a method, however, by which it may be easily accomplished. By bending the wire into a loop i and pulling both ends as tight as pos- !

The Chicago Tribune's current crime records contain no fewer than twenty-eight suicides since the panic of last October which were caused by the resulting financial losses.
