Hartman. the New Yorks' new third
baseman who was included in the deal
t at brought Grady he 9, is considered
the strongest thrower in the business.
He rivals Billy Nash in the latter'e
palmy days in the matter of getting the
ball across the diamond. In batting he
is also first-class man, but he has q
weakness, like all players. He is not a
fast base runner, and does not handle
slow bunts with alacrity. Under Joyce'f
training, though, these faults will prob.
ably be remedied, SO that the newcomer
will help to win many games. Hartman,
as he is now, though, is the best third
baseman New York has ever had, barring
George Davis.
OF the leading batsmen of 1897, three
strike left-handed. OF the past leaders
in batting, Anson, O'Rourke, Duffy and
Kelly were right-handers, while White,
Brouthers, Dalrymple, Childs and
Burkett used the other side.
'Mike" Kehoe, the indianapolis catch
er, says: 'pll be badly disappointed if
Goar dosen't hold his own. He is the
best pitcher l every caught behind He
has as much speed as Hawley, has nice
slow bal, land was the best batting pitch
er on our staff, and haven't the slight
est fear but what he will be in the
League when the roll is called next fall" :"
Concerning Mccarthy, who is expect.
ed to play on the same team, the Cincin-
natis, with Goar next year, Kehoe says:
'This man is the best batter ever saw.
He can push to outfeld or pull them
around to the other. You can't
tempt him into going at bad one. As
fielder he is as fine as | ever looked at. y

The Eccentric Spider.

Som curious facts about the COM
mon house spider are noted by Mr..
Lindon Meadows in the Argosy. He
writes: Fatima was a spider, inhabit-
ing a corner of my bedroom window,
the upper sash of which, stupidity
enough, had not been constructed for
letting down. She had a neat little
inner snuggery, luXuriously lined, from
which, when l first made her %acquaint-
ance, she refused to come out, cycling
me furtively, and seeming to say to
herself, He looks friendly, but appear
ances are sometimes deceptive" BY
degrees, however, this mistrust wore
away, and Fatima would descend an
inch or two down the web, and then
gallop back again, till l offered her a
fly, which, after some modest hesita-
ton, she took from my fingers, killed,
coated, with a blue film, tackled to her
tail, and, drawing up behind her, hung
in the larder. From this time, when
ever | called her, she would come and
take anything that was presented for
her acceptance, showing a decided
preference for a moderate-siZed blue
bottle, declining a caterpillar, ignoring
a daddy-long-legs, and growing ex-
cited over a wasp, which, upon becom-
ing ~entangled in her meshes, she would
release as quickly as possible, cutting
away the surrounding web and letting
the dangerous intruder drop to the
ground. The cool vindictiveness with
which she would dig her mandibles in
to her victim and hold on, despite heI
! struggles, was a rather ugly sight, but
the rolling up in shroud and hauling
home-as l have seen a horse dragging
a barrow or heap of brushwood along
a field-had a touch of the ludicrous,
Thus far Fatima was only acting &C
cording to her natural instincts, but
a further proceeding on her part dis
gusted me beyond the power of Ian
guage. 1t was this. She had a hus
band, only about half her w size, {
rather idle, good-for-nothing fellow, i
is true, but still her husband. One da.
l saw her cycling him very steadily TO
some minutes and | feared from thu
expression of her countenance tina
something evil must be passing in he
mind, but l did not dream of murder
She sprang upon him suddenly, killeI
him with a few savage nips, in spite O
his violent efforts to escape, dragge
him home, sucked his blood, and at
him by degrees, leaving his skin an
legs dangling from a rope and vibrat
ing with every breath of wind.

MUD BATHS OF NEW MEXICO.
of the Same Chemical Coenposition as
Those of Carlsbad.

OF the Same Chemical ~Co.aposition as
Those of Carlsbad.
1.-THE Hot Springs of Mexico said
a gentleman from Las Vegas to a Dei-
yer Republican representative, "are six
miles from Las Vegas and they are sit
uated in a basin about thirty acres in
extent, surrounded on all sides by hills
rising to a height of from 300 to 400
feet, shielding the place from wind
and sand storms. The mud baths,
which are famous for their curative eff
fects, are to be had only in two places
in the world, here and at Carlsbad,
Germany, M it has been shown that
he mud found at the hot springs in
New Mexico and which is used in CIV
ing the baths is Of the same chemical
composition as that of Carlsbad. 1t
is very interesting to note the forma-
ton of this mud or peat. 1t is formed
by the vegetation which has been
washed down from the hills probably
a century ago and which, settling
among the rocks, has become decom-
posed and formed into a substance
which is practically carbon impreg-
mated with salts, magnesia, soda, lithia
and various other ingredients. This
peat is gathered from the rocks, dried
and put through a fine sieve in order
to remove the silicates and after this
treatment it is as soft as flour. 1t is
then taken to the mixing room, where
1t is put in large tubs and the water
from the hot springs mixed with it
until it is about the consistency OF
mush. The mud is now ready for use
and it is taken into the bathing room,
where the patient is placed in a tub
and covered, with the exception of his
head, and allowed to remain in the
mud for from ten to thirty-five min
utes. The apple tion of the mud has
a effect similar to a mild poultice
and draws the impurities from the
body through the pores of the skin.
The patient is then removed from the
bath, placed upon a slab and submit
ted to a vigorous rubbing, the chemical
composition of the mud being such
that it can be rubbed from the body
with a dry towel, leaving the flesh in
a clean condition.

Charles West of Anderson, Ind, has
invented a legometer. AS the name in
dicates, its function is to measure the
step of the leg. 1t has a dial not I'M
like that of the bicycle meter, and has
a delicate spring, which, when released
will get every step taken by the wearer
and measure it accurately. The dial
shows yards" rods" and miles
and thorough tests prove that it is
absolutely correct. The meter is placed
in the trousers pocket of the walker
and the delicate mechanism does the
rest with it's mystic regularity. 1t can
also be worn in the pocket of a BIZ
cycle rider, and, by a table which is
now being computed by tests, will reg
lister the number of miles covered as
accurately as the meter which depends
on the wheel turning it around once
every revolution.
