BASE BALL.-As the season draws to a
close, and nobody has yet been killed, the
obituary poet of the Chambersburg Valley
!Spsret has become disgusted at not being
able to show his towering genius in the
Ledger style. Other towns and cities may
not be so fortunate, however, and for the
benefit of contemporaries that journal
gives its only original epitaph suitable to
a defunct base ball player.
A cred dead" ball, 90 swiftly hurled,
Removed our pet from this festive world.
Entirely free from base balls sting.
He's "out on fly" on an angels wing.
Gone to '.jaw the Captain"

child mighthave been providentially found,
stayed my hand when would have taken
my own life.'
Such, in brief, was the history given by
the woman, whose name was Baker.
Mr.. Randolph listened with breathless
interest to her narrative, and when she
had concluded, ne asked her on what day
of the month and year it occurred. Her
reply was prompt. She named the year,
and stated that it was upon tho 10th Of
July, the day being Sunday.
81 shall never forget it while live," she
continued. '.Life has been a burden to me
since.''
Mr.. Randolph was satisfied that the
mother of his adopted daughter was before
him.
With some little circumlocution he gave
an account of his adventure in the forest.
and stated the manner in which the infant
he found was dressed. When the Door
woman heard this she threw herself at Mr..
Randolph's feet and wept tears of graft
tude and joy, while she kissed his hands.
Madge Randolph married we'll, and con-
tisued through life to honor and love her
adopted father, while she became a COM
fort and solace to her unfortunate mother.

How THE Sun MOVED A BRrpeE.-Dur-
ing the recent building of bridge in Hol-
land one of the traverses, AGO feet long, was
misplaced on the supports. 1t was an
inch out of line, and the problem was how
to replace it. Experiments proved that
the iron work expanded small fraction of
an inch to every degree of heat received.
1t was noticed that the night and day tenn
perature' differed by about % degrees, and
1t was thought this might be made to move
the bridge. In the morning one end of the
piece was bolte6 down securely and the
other end left free. In the heat of the sun
the iron expanded, and towards night the
free end was loosened. The contraction
then dragged the whole. mass the other
way. For two days this experiment was
repeated, and the desired place reached
The contraction and expansion of iron bars
by fire heat has frequently been used to
move heavy weights over short distances.
Broken walls and strained roofs and arch
es have been brought into place by simply
heating iron rods till they expand, then
taking in the slack by screws and nuts
and allowing contraction by cold to pull
the wall Or roof into place.
