The game yesterday was the shortest Of

Mondays game with Milwaukee here will
wind up the season. Phillips will probably
pitch unless he should be put IN at Mil

go in tomorrow.
Indianapolis has won forty-six Of its
sixty victories this season on the nome
grounds. This record Is the banner one
of the Western League. 1t has won only
fourteen games away from home.
Indianapolis may pass Grand Rapids yet.
Each team has two games to play and
there Is still a fighting chance, as they are
neck and neck for fifth place. To-day's
game will come near settling the matter.

About Mutual Agreements.

! There is q common agreement b
the inviolabihty Of mutual engage
nents, but there seems to be pecaa-
liar breach Of honor when two people
have agreed to die together in one
failing to keep his appointment. This
not infrequently happens, and It has
been remarked, as in the case Of Mrs.
Brundage and Mr.. Clute, that it is
the man who manages to keep his
footing in this world. The question
has arisen If on the mans part this
Is prompted in the spirit in which a
man tells a woman he is going to the
lodge, or to a neighboring town, or
whether his failure to meet her or &C.
company her is due to lack Of cour-
age. This seems not only the most
plausible but the most creditable
answer.
, It Is not human to run to embrace
death, but circumstances may make
1t a familiar presence. Every WON
an who has filed her allotted place
In life has had at times to look death
deliberately in the face. Familiarity
with any situation divests 1t Of its
terrots. This Is the reason why wom-
en- meet death with moro composuce
than do men. This by no means ex-
cuses men from fulfilling such en-
gagements as that Of Mrs. Brundage
and Mr.. Clute, in which the honor is
especially involved, but it explains
the detection Of Mr.. Clute and men
Of his kind. Exchange.

Value of the Atmosphere.


Careful experiments have shown
that the rate per second at which
bodies acquire velocity in falling
through tho air is 80 feet per second
at the end Of the first second from
starting. At the end Of the next
second it is going at the rate Of O.
feet per second, and SO on through
the whole time Of falling. Where
the velocity is known the space
through which the body has fallen
may be ascertained by multiplying
the velocity at that period by the
number Of seconds during which It
has been falling and dividing the
result by two. This rule applies,
however, only to bodies falling
through a vacuum.
The resistance Of our atmosphere
materially retards raindrops, hail
stones, aerolites and all other bodies
which fall through it, and were it not
for the resistance 1t presents every
rainstorm would be disastrous to the
human race, as each drop would fall
with avelocity great enough to pene'
trate the full length Of full grown
mans body.-London Nature.
