longer an. employe of the local company. Wired to Hold Him. It was in view of this that the Hartlord company notified Mr. Lontz of Piper's visit and the fact that the eastern firm had lately been told of Piper's gigantic swindling schemes over the country.

Perhaps the most remarkable record for continuous playing in the history of baseball is that of Perry Lipe, manager of the Richmond (Va.) team last year. Lipe played for seven years successively without missing a part of a scheduled game until last year when he was banished in the ninth inning of one contest. He played football on the Wittenberg college team when "Jiggs" Donahue was catcher on the baseball team.

Fitzgerald's Summary. Edward Fitzgerald, the translator of the Tersian poet Omar Khayyam, was a more or less genial opponent of matrimony as a state. One day he said to his friend Miss Ellen Churchyard of Woodbridge: "Do you know, Nell, what marriage is?" Miss Churchyard thought not. "Then 111 tell you," said he. "Marriage is standing at one's desk, nicely

settled to work, when a great big

bitterness in International collegiate athletics as there is or has been between the a, A. A. of England and the A. A. U. of this country. In line with this was the election recently of L. C. Hull, the former University of Michigan sprinter, to the presidency of the Oxford University A. A. This position is the same as captain of a track team in this country. This is the first instance on record that an American col legian has been so honored in England. Hull has won many athletic victories since he has been abroad. Early last spring in a quarter mile event he gave

a notable display of grit. Hull went through the field about a hundred yards from the start, when he stumbled and sprained his ankle badly But this did not deter him. Oe quickly pulled himself together, picked the field again and in spite of Intense pain went to the front and won by three yards. He had to be carried off the

field attended by a doctor.

with as great accuracy. As to just what causes the phases,

sav of the moon, is easy to comprehend

bv a homely analogy. If one stands in

a corner of a room, places a globe of I some description iu the next comer and a light in the third corner the phenom

enon of the half moon Is seeu. The light, representing the sun, shines of course on half the globe representing the moon, but the observer in the corner sees only half of the surface toward him illuminated. If now the light be placed behind the observer and a little cbove his head a full moon will be seen, the "sun," however, shining on the same area of surface as before, merely allowing this time a view from the "earth" of the whole amount of

illumination. All the phases can be

demonstrated in this manner by moving the "moon" directly outward from its corner. One of the greatest discoveries of sci

ence is due to observation of the eclipses of Jupiter's moons. It was

found that when the earth was in the part of its orbit nearest to Jupiter

these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes

earlier than when It was In the far

thermost part, whereas by all rules of astronomy they should have occurred at the same minute each time. It was

deduced from this that light was not Instantaneous and consequently took sixteen minutes to traverse the diameter of the earth's orbit, a distance of about 200.000.000 miles, thus giving to light a velocity of 180,000 miles a second, which was accurately shown later

by other experiments. St. Louis Republic.

WATCH SPRINGS. Net Surprising They Break Considering the Work They Do. The mainspring of a watch does not unwind at a uniform rate, but intermittently. It is subjected to a sudden jerk at every tick four times per second for my watch. This makes 315,-

600 times per day and over 120,000,000

times per year. This operating condition Is analogous to others discussed in Kent's "Mechanical rocketbook" under the heads of "Relation of the

Elastic Limit of Endurance Under Re

Metals to Repeated Shocks." Among

other things it says: "Another long known result of ex

perience is the fact that rupture may

be caused by a succession of shocks or impacts none of which alone would be sufficient to cause it. Iron axles.
