In a Base. Ball Factory.

..rhe baseball manufacturing business
has had rapid but prosperous growth,
said a manufacturer recently. cit Is
confined to few men. aud probably
will not be encroached upon by specu-
lators. There are in the United States
today only eight factories of any i'm
portance, and yet these are entirely
sufficient to supply all the base balls
that are wanted in this country. he.
Gently there has been sort Of boom
in the ball market. This is caused by
the adopting by clearinghouse
throughout the country of the custom
of giving to Juvenile purchasers base
balls as presents. The balls are Of diff
ferent grades and prices. The kind
that are given away are of course cheap
but quite durable. Perhaps you would
like to see how base-balls are made.
Follow me and l will show you the
whole process"
On the upper floor of the establish.
ment sat several men with baskets OF
dampened chamois and buckskin clip
pings Mt their sides. Before each work
man stood stout piece of joist, in the
end of which was inserted arnold. hem
spherical in shape, in which the balls
are formed. Taking handful OF cut
tipgs from the basket the workmen
pressed them together in his hands and
then worked about the mass afew yards
Of strong wooden yarn. Placing the
embryo ball in the mold he pounds it
into shape with a heavy fiat mallet, and
then wound on more yarn and gave the
ball another pounding, After testing
its weight on pair Of scales and its
diameter with tape measure he threw
the ball into q basket and began anoth-
er. When the newly-made balls are
thoroughly dried they are carried to the
sewing-room on the floor below, where
thew are to receive their covers. Forty
Young women sat at tables sewing on
the covers of horse-hide. Grasping a
ball firmly in her left hand. with her
right hand one of the young women
thrust a three -cornered needle through
the thick pieces Of the cover and drew
them firmly together. In less than ten
minutes her work was completed. A
smart girl can cover two or three dozen
of the Best and eight dozen of the cheap
er grades of balls in day. The wages
| earned weekly range from seven to NINE
dollars. The balls are afterward taker
to the packing-room, where the seam:
are smoothed down and the proper
stamps are put on. The best balls an
made entirely of yarn and lndia-rubber

COlOradO'S Climate.

A careful analysis of Signal-Service
statistics for a range of wears has
shown that the climate of Colorado at
fords an air only 40 saturated with
moisture. while the air of Jacksonville,
Florida, is 40, and that of Los An
geles, California, is 66-1OO of satura-
ton; that the average rain and snow
fall, per annum, is only tritie over
fourteen inches, while at Jacksonville
it is forty-nine inches, at Los Angeles
nineteen inches, and at New York
forty-two inches; that the elevation,
ranging from five thousand to seven
thousand feet, is such as secures the
most healthful action of diseased lungs;
that the direction and daily motion Of
the winds are favorable and salubrious;
that the mean temperature would place
this climate under the head of ''cool
climate" and, lastly, and of the great
est importance, is the fact that it
affords an average of three hundred
and twenty sunny days per annum, or,
to quote the article referred to: ut is
seen that in Denver there is only about
one ghth Of the entire year when an
invalid would be Kept in the house on
account of the weather; in Jackson
vile and Augusta GA he would be
confined to the house, for the Same res
son. one quarter of the year; in St.
Paul he would be kept indoors between
. third and a quarter of the time; while
In Boston he would have to be housed
. good third of the time. ~ S%psuel 4.
