THE SPEED OF A BALL.
No Base Ball Player Could Hold One Dropped
From Washington Monument.

A few years ago, in 1884 l believe,
several well known base ball players
attempted the feat of catching and
holding a regulation Spalding dropped
from the top of Washington monu.
ment, says the St. Louis Republic.
The experiment was tried by Trott,
Hines, Baker, Snyder and several
lesser lights in thefraternity, but none
Of them succeeded in holding or even
materially checking its progress to the
ground. The men named above were
all experts at their trades, but it IL
evident that they gave their sports
more attention than they did their
philosophy during their school days
otherwise they would have known
that a body dropped from such a
height would be travelling with a speed
OF 1877 feet per second at the time .f
it's contact with the earth. The rea-
son why no living man could catch
and hold a ball travelling with such
velocity is plain enough by making
some hasty comparisons: The great
est distance a ball has ever been
thrown was 135 yards, one foot and
one-half inch; the longest "hlt" OH
record is q few inches over 200 yards.
In this last instance the ball was sent.
into the air at an angle of forty-tire
degrees. Now, mind this: Allowing
the same ball to have been hit In the
same direction, at the same angle,
with sufficient force To give 1t the We
locity Mt the starting point that II
would acquire in falling from a height
OF 555 feet, it would have gone 5f4
yards instead ut the b~arefraction over
200 yards. Aud, then, even think OF
trying to catch n ball the instant it
leaves the bat on a 200 yards trip,
Ouchl Is it any wonder that the boy
let the ball slip through their finger
when it was on n ''home s. reich
after having fallen from the apex OF
the memorial to the father OF his
country?

@ VIVID DOG DUEL.
A Fierce Battle IN Idaho in Which the Dog
Came Out Ahead.

"Isaw Il battle bet ween an eagle and
a bulldog last spring" said John Ii.
Fitzjames, "a member of the Time
Killers club, who was wearing away a
dull Sunday in the corridors OF the
Laclede, says the Globe-D Democrat.
81 was at Pocatello, Idaho. Back of
the hotel was "A large lot, in which
were a number of chickens and a big
bulldog. An eagle swooped down upon
"a portly Shanghai rooster, but missed
him, and the feathered Mormon ran
squawking into the carriage shed
where Towser was taking a snooze
The bird of freedom was not inclined
to miss his dinner, and followed after,
1.-The racket reused Towser and he
gave battle to the big bird. The eagl,
beat him with his wings and tore hin
with his claws, and the dog drew bach
as though he had made n mistake
He walked around the eagle, lookin.
for a safer point of attack, but tn,
king of birds was on the alert.
He was inclined to force the fight
ing and with a wicked scream flew a
the dog, fastened his claws into hi,
back and tried to lift him into tn
air, but found him too heavy. Towse
had recovered from his surprise ant
soon had the eagles head in chancery
A couple of vicious bites and the EN-
blem of freedom was dead upon al
unpoetical dunghill. Hemade a gam
fight but was o~utclassed."
