NOTES OF THE GAME.
Mr.. Belts may be a fine fellow socially,
but he knows what his troubles were in
the National League. and 1t seems pc
culiar that he does not profit by expe-
rience. The Virginlan hopes the gentle
man will improve as he gets his eye
on the ball. so that 1t will not be ne
cessary to critioise his work, save In
terms of praise. But to do this he must
improve wonderfully, judging from his
work I'm the last three games.

To so into a strange country and be
unfamiliar with the alternatives neces-
sary In emergencies Is TO start out on
dangerous expedition but ll-prepared
for the haps and mishaps OF such
tour. There Is nothing more important
TO an explorer than a thorough knowl-
edge Of botany and bush lore. a little
information Of this sort would have
saved many life and would have
spared many travellers much pain, de-
lay and WEAKNESS. Nature provides
corporations In all OF the great ex-
tremes OF climate and conditions. There
are regions where water In the way
OF springs and streams Is practically I'M

peculiarities Of this form OF vegetation.

as the desert oak. and varieties OF
cassia are water trees. A party OF
travellers were passing over one OF the
waterless districts OF Australia. when.
by an accident, they found themselves
long distance from their journeys
end and almost pcrlshlng with thirst.
Suddenly one OF the party. with a
shout. dashed on toward q clump OF
trees. calling to his companions to fol-
low. With desperate haste he threw
himself from the saddle, and digging
with his hands In the sand al the foot
OF one Of the trees, he drew out a long
spreading root. This he cut In pieces
and gave to his companions Each one
put an end OF the root In his mouth
and raised the other end above his head.
A most delicious drink OF cool water
poured from the root, a piece two feet
leng holding quite enough for one
draught The water-bags were filed,
and even the horses quenched their
thirst In this novel way.
