Curving n baseball.

There ere some people still left who re-
fuse to believe that II baseball can travel
out of the straigh. limo between the pitch
er's box and the home plate on Its way to
tho catcher says Godcy's Magazine. 1t
has been proved again and again that a
ball can be curved by Il how well known
experiment Two stakes are set up so that
the pitcher, standing behind one, cannot
hit a mark OH tho left side of tho other In
straight line, the ball passing to the
right OF the first. Indeed u short while
ago noted college pitcher was offered
1000 by an old gentleman if he could
prove to his satisfaction, that IA baseball
could he pitched III {, curve. The pitcher
at once set lps two stakes and curved the
ball around them iii fine style. But the
old gentleman insisted that the whole
thing was an optical delusion.
Every boy knows how hard it is to bat
an tout curve" or a drop, and after he
has struck out few times wants no one
to prove to him there is such thing as
curve pitching. The final twist given the
ball as it leaves the hand makes a spinning
motion, SO that there Is luoro resistance
by the air on one side or the other, and the
bali is forced out of a straight line by I'M
equal pressure on one of its sides.

ATTACKS OF SUNSTROKE.
Premonitory Symptoms, Preventives and
Simple Treatment.


Attacks of sunstroke, being due to heat
alone, are not confined to any particular
climate or country. An attack may occur
whore person is exposed to great artificial
heat. 1t is q common theory that sun
stroke is only to be feared from exposure
to the direct rays of the sun. On the con-
trary, persons living or working in over
heated rooms, factories or shops are liable
to be attacked by one Of the forms Of in
ISOLATION.
The condition of the body often renders
one subject to an attack. Vigorous, healthy
persons, leading regular, temperate lives,
are able to endure great amount Of heat
without i'll effects Loss of sleep, excite
mcnt worry, debility or abuse of stimu-
lants predisposes to sunstroke. Sunstrokc
proper may come on very rapidly, during
exposure of the head and spine to the di-
rect rays of the sun. Often the action of
the heart is stopped by The effect Of the
heat.
The symptoms Of the real coup de soleil
are unconsciousness, cold skin, spasmodio
breathing and q feeble pulse. Death usual
ly results from the rapid failure of circula-
ton and respiration. In another form,
known Us heat fever, the symptoms are
gasping for breath, restlessness, thirst anC
burning heat Of the skin, which is some
times dry, sometimes moist. In almost
every case Of sunstroke the head, face and
neck become livid, and there is contraction
of pupils of the eyes.
The premonitory Symptoms of insola-
ton are often manifest for hours and some
times days before tie attack proper takes
place. These symptoms are often restless
ness, slecplessness, giddiness, headache,
nausea and thirst.
The attack is more likely to occur on
the second or third day of heated term
than on the first. Attacks are more gen.
eral if the weather is muggy. The attack
Is more apt to take place between II
in the morning and In the afternoon.
Tho first preventive is simple. On a hot
day wear thin clothing. While in the sun
wear light colorcd hat, straw being pref
erablo. 1t is safer to place inside the hat
q damp cloth or large green leaf. The
cloth should DO kept wet. One of the best
prcventives is to see that ones skin IL
kept moist. Encourage perspiratinn. TEN
| perate drinking of water will generally
| keep it up A thin umbrella or other light
| covering over the head will lessen the dan
| ger of being overcome. If fatigued, stop
all work, especially if it be in the sun. If
troubled with n headache or dizziness, stay
| in the shade and battle the head and neck
in cold water When indoors, keep the
| room well ventilated.
In cases of mere prostration the treat
ment is simple. Removal to cooler To-
cality, loosening of the clothing about the
| chest and neck and the administering of
stimulants may be beneficial. If the skin
| is hot and dry, the sufferer should be
placed in a sitting position. Bathe the
| body and limbs in cold water and apply
| leo to the head, advises the New York
Sun, authority for tho foregoing.

An odd thing that happens occasionally
on race track is the victory one after an
other Of horses bearing a certain number
on the programme. For example, at the
Brighton Beach track on July ~, 1894,
,Gioriana was No. s on the days pro-
graInme. So was Flirt, and likewise Shell
ly futile. They were all winners, and a
man doubling up his bets on $40 note
would have had something like SO, 600 at
the prevailing odds. When the race track
followers notice such q run on number,
superstition leads them to fall over one
another in their eagerness to get few
dollars on the horse in the next race,
whose number on the programme is the
lucky one. Usually by that time some
one has flashed an umbrella in the pad
dock or some other fatal hoodoo has begun
operations and the lucky number horse

BUFFALO, n. Y, April 1.-THE work of
searching the ruins of the works of the
American Glucose Company for bodies was
begun to-day. and when the workmen were
compelled to quit by darkness the bodies
of four employees had been found. The re-
mains are simply chunks of charred flesh
and bones, no one of which is more than
two feet in length. The largest piece was

more demonStrative threw themselves on
the blackened pieces of flesh and caressed
them. The morgue officials had to use force
to get them away. Work will be begun on
the ruins at daylight tomorrow morning,
and il is thought that a number of other

THE ATHLETIC CRAZE.
President Patton, of Princeton, Says 1t
Has Gone Far Enough.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 15.-J. NJ. Patton,
d. D., LII D., president of Princeton Col
lege who is visiting in st. Louis, believes
that many changes will take place in the
methods of the Eastern universities. In an
interview he said to-day: THE athletic
craze has gone far enough. While the fact
that athletics tend to improve the morals
of the college, when properly conducted, Is
recognized by the faculties of the Eastern
universities it is also a fact that III the
fierce intercollegiate contests there is re-
quired a degree of proficiency that cannot
be attained without constant practice Con-
sequently it is impossible to excel in studies
and at the same time be member of the
football or baseball teams. 1t is a difficult
problem for educators to solve. a thousand
men cannot be controlled like school boys,
but we are limiting the number of excuses
which we accept for absence from classes.
Yet we believe that Intercollegiate contests
are profitable. II is impossible to secure the
spirit of emulation so necessary to the life
of athletic undertakings without intercol-
legiate contests, but they should be con-
Quoted SO that they would not require 50
much time as they do now"

LONDON. April IA dispatch from Vi

cording to the Pesther Lloyd, had a. narrow
escape from injury on Friday last when they
were leaving the terminus of the Southern
railway. Just their Majesties passed out
of the door a large hammer dropped from
the roof of the station and fell 10 the ground
at their feet. An inquiry has been opened
into the affair, but how the hammer came
to fall has not yet been discovered. The
Munich Allegemeine Zeitung asserts that
Emperor Williams absence from the gala
performance given in his honor in Venice
Sunday last was not due TO the fact that
he does not go 10 the theater on Sunday, but
that the police had received information
that Anarchist outrage was intended
should he visit the theater. The News this
morning publishes dispatch from Vienna
saying that it is stated in diplomatic circles
there that Emperor William during his
