CHICAGO'S ROSY DREAMS.
The Great Influx of Money Upon
Which She is Counting.

A dispatch says that Chicago is beginning
to realize in practical and substantial way
upon its investment in the Columbian Ex-
position. In the period embraced within the
last 100 days of the Fair it is estimated that
sum ranging from s120, 900, 900 to $3.50, ,000.-
00C will be brought to Chicago and left
there.
The estimate is based on the assumption
that between July 1 and November 1-123
days-the average number of visitors in Chi
cago above normal will be from 100, 900 to
125, 900, and that they will not spend less than
$40 day each while soioining there. On
that basis the amount spent daily will ag
gregate $1,0O0,000 to S1.250, 900; for 123
days, 1923, 900, 900 to 1854 1000, 900.
The city is already experiencing the relief
that follows the receipts of liberal sums Of
money from all quarters. All theatres re-
port an immense business, Notwithstanding
the great show at Jackson Park. The busi-
ness streets are crowded with great, moving
armies of men, women and children and the
great emporiums of trade are doing the larg-
est business in their history.

The water Was Rather Coid.

The ocean water north of Cape Coo
is much colder than the water south of
it, for the cape seems to turn branch
of the warm Gulf Stream out to sea,
leaving only the chilly Arctic current
to wash the Maine shore. A man who
went to secluded spot, not far from
Bar Harbor, for bath on warm day
says: "A couple of fellows played it
low down on me that time. They
seemed to have just came out OF the
water and I asked them how it was.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

BALT1MoRE's fielding is hard to beat.
HEMM1NG is pitching great ball for Louis
vile.
LOUISVILLE is now playing as good ball as
the best of them.
WARD. of New York, leads the second base
men in batting.
Dowp. Brodie and Bannon make fast
out1eld for st. Louis.
SOUTHERN Leaguers still think Denny the
king of third basemen.
CATCHER GRIM, OF Louisville, has developed
into terrific slugger.
The Clevelands are hitting the ball harder
than any of the Western clubs.
KENNEDY is fast pushing out Stein as the
premier pitcher of the Brooklyns.
PHILADELPHIA is in the best shape for PEN
nant ball of all the League teams.
BREITENsTEIN has been doing nearly all of
the successful pitching for st. Louis this year.
STAFFORD, the new outfelder signed by
New York, comes from the Augusta (Ga.
team.
THE pitchers have lost more in accuracy
than efficiency by the increased pitching dis
tance.
IT is generally conceded that Washington
has the best all-round hitting team in the
League.
LONG has made about One-th1rd OF BoS.
tons errors, more than any other player In
the League.
RADFoRD, of Washington, is the best waiter
In the League, having gone to first on called
balls fortyeight times.
The increase in the pitching distance
makes it almost impossible for two men to do
the twirling for a club.
yIcKERY, of Washington, is the hardest
hitting pitcher in the League. He has made
eleven hits out of twenty-four times at the
bat
SINCE 1853 Yale has won forty-one games
from Harvard to thirty-four victories for the
crimson Yale in that time has scored SOC
runs to AL for Harvard.
New York closed deal for new battery,
securing Pitcher Lester German and Catcher
Park Wilson, of the Augusta (Ga. team.
These players have been winning many
games for the Augusta Club. Sigsby was re-
leased.
PITCHER CoLCoLoUGH, of the Charleston
Is. CO. Club accomplished the feat recently
of disposing, under the new rules, of an op-
posing team without a safe hit. The hard.
hitting Montgomerys faced him on this oc-
casion. This is said to be the first time this
season that this feat has been performed.
INTENSE interest in the National game
continues to pervade the country. If the
umpire gauge be used the measurement
shows a steady increase of enthusiasm. The
more umpires there are mobbed the more
intense is the baseball enthusiasm. II there
were no interest in the game the cranks
wouldn't care copper how the umpire de-
cided points in the game.

POSTAL CARD CHANGES.
Postmaster-General Bissell Decides
to Make All Cards of One Size.

Postmaster-General Bissell has decided to
abandon the three sizes of postal cards now
in use, and to substitute one size for single
and reply cards. The specifications which
have been sent to prospective bidders for the
contract of furnishing the postal service with
cards for the next four years call for single
cards of the uniform size of 313 by 81 inches.
This is what is known as the international
size, it being used generally by the countries
comprising the international Postal Union.
The double, or reply card, now in use, will
be continued. with the size, when folded, re-
duced to that of the international card. These
two cards will take the place of the small, or
'ladies' card the medium. and the large
card, and the large return card.
CROP reports from 2631 reliable grain deal
ers and millers, covering every section of the
six principal winter wheat States, producing
two-thirds OF the total crop, indicate that
they will furnish about one hundred and
fifty million bushels this year, as against

Tho Latest Sea Serpent.

e Though somewhat late in the season,
the sea serpent shas turned up at last,
this time few miles off the Aberdeen
shire coast. The vouchers for its ap-
pearance are the crew Of the fishing
boat Harbinger. who state that while
lying at anchor an extraordinary look
ing monster, with neck like giraffe,
a long, dark name, q skin spotted like
fancy Gnoleum, suddenly rose over the
gunwalet and placed one foot at the
Prov and the ether near the stern of the
Harbinger. Tho boat listed over nearly
three feet, to the horror of the crew, one
of whom ran up the mast, and the 9TH
ers dropped into the hold.
The creature remained in sight for a
quarter Of an hour, so that ample time
was afforded to the fishermen to recover
their wits and take stock of the visitor,
which they further describe as having
ears of extraordinary dimensions (no
doubt of this), teeth Like marble stair
case, and jaws, when open, sufficiently
wide to stow away an omnibus. And
all this off tho Aberdeenshire coast in

A Cow Inside OF a Log.

Owen Clancy, of Summit, missed a
very valuable COW last week and spent
several days looking for her without
finding any trace of her whereabouts,
and had about concluded, that she had
been stolen when one of his children
discovered the animal not over fifty
yards from the house., She had wandered
into.a hollow cedar log, presumably to
get into the shade, and in pushing her
way for fifty feet into the log she passed
through place where it had splintered
in falling, with the splinters headed in
the direction she was going.
Of course when she attempted to back
out her exit was effectually blocked, the
splinters having sprung back. And there
she was, as securely confined as any pris-
oner in the penitentiary. When discov-
cred there size had been imprisoned for
five days.
Mr.. Clancy had to cut the log in
front of her before she could be taken
out, nothing the worse for her expert
ence except for her enforced fast. The
COW weighs about 1,500 pounds, SO the
size of the cedar timber in that "neck
of the woods" can be imagined. d.-Elmira

universaiity of tho sign Language.


It is fact worth noting that the signs
used by the Indians of North America
are identical in may instances with those
employed by the deaf mutes of today.
A short time ago friend of the writer,
who had spent considerable time among
the Indians, but who had never talked
with deaf mute before, conversed with
some pupils of the New York institution
by means of signs which he had learned
from the red men. Where are you go
mgr" and 81 am going away on horse
back, were the same when given by the
deaf mutes and by the visitor.
Another instance showing the sign
language to be universal one was
when the mother of the writer, herself
deaf person, while attending con-
yention of instructors of the deaf IN
France, conversed on various topics
with mute friend by means Of signs.
The French lady had no knowledge OF
the English language, while the Ameri-
can knew hardly word of French.

A Tree rha. Produces Rain.

The people of Saltwater are greatly
mystified over a remarkable natural
phenomenon which exists near that
town. In the field of Robert Copper,
south of that place, stands alarge cot
t,nwood tree, with its branches leaning
out over the bed of a little creek. A
few weeks ago a party Of picnickers
stopped under the tree and were star
tied by finding that there was contin-
ual shower Of water falling from its
leaves and branches. It is in the shape
of fine mist or drizzle, but can be
plainly felt and seen at all times. AL
though it had not rained in that part Of
the territory for weeks, the fall of water
from that tree has kept up continually,
end crowds of people come from dis
tance every day to view the wonderful
curiosity.
These scientifically inclined speculate,
theorize and give it up; the supersti-
tious ones shake their heads ominously,
but the tree keeps right on sending
down it's shower, and whenever the san
is shining beautiful rainbow can be
seen under its branches. = Oklahoma
