Tho 1,nu,,cture of Base Rails.

The manufacture Of base balls in this
country has become an important industry
and an ingenious one, too, according to the
description given of the process: First,
there is little hard rubber tall, around
which there is wound a strong blue coarse
yarn. and. when this reaches a prescribed
size, it is firmly wrapped with white We
netian yarn The balls are now placed in
an oven and baked until the moisture is
taken out Of them and they are reduced in
size, this making them solid. They are then
coated with cement, which causes the balls
TO retain their shape, and they can not be
knocked crooked
After this comes some fine blue yarn and
around the whole is placed fine white gilling
Irvine The balls are weighed, each TO have
a certain weight, and the covers are put on,
these being made OF the best horse hide.
Il consists Of two pieces, each cut in the
shape OF the figure 9. By bending one sec
ton one way and the other in an opposite
direction, a complete cover is obtained

DON'T BE ALARMED.

Wichita has a population of twen-
ty thousand people, but II has ioca-
ton where sewerage Is dlfh cult, but
altogether possible, and right here.
we appeal Ia the people of Wichita to
stick pin and begin work at once.
Now. before The cholera epidemic
reaches Us. a. il surely will. Wichita
has grand start 10 win and she will,
provided there are not too many
''penny wise and pound foolish
men in it. who will spoil ladle to
make a spoon" Leon Quill.
There never was people who
pulled together more tremendously
aud here there were fewer penny
wise and pound foolish" people than
Wichita boasts As for the problem
of draiuage. we have as good and ef-
fective drainage rs any city in the
state. As for sewerage there rs a mis-
apprehension on the part of outsiders
Is to its feasibility. After having sew
cral local engineers make surveys our
authorities, later, employed an expert
engineer who makes sewerage spec
ialty. Report has been made after
very faithful and correct profiles made
up from his surveys. This report dis
pes all doubts as 10 the sewering of
this city efectually and cheaply.
But there is one view set cut in the
Quilts article TO which we dissent.
and thattouches the necessity of sewer
age. Vital statistics show no such things
as he claims. Some of the greatest
and most healthful cities of Europe
and the orient, have only surface
drainage, and, not only that. but when
epidemics have occurred in severed
cities those portions of such cities
where the sewers existed always sui
fered more than those portions which
had only surface drainage. Sewers
like elevated lines and tunnel lines of
railway, and gas. and water systems,
are very handy for dense populations:
but sewers are not 4 prerequisite to
health, even in large cities. Wichita
will be severed, and efiectually, and
for the same reason that we have street
cars, gas pipes, snd water mains: as a
convenience more than as a necessity.
As for other points in the Quilts ar
ticie, they have already been settled.
True. there will be commanding city
in southwest Kansas, but there is not
the slightest question as TO the place
tina. viii attain to that distinction, nor
has there ever been a question in the
minds OF disinterested observers. All
thesstowns of which the Quill speaks are
cider towns than Wichita. but this
city from the very flrst has been
marked a "the City of Destiny"
