narnmeter afStone.

A curious kind of stone is to be found
in Finland. 1t is a natural barometer,
and actually foretells probable changes
in the weather. 1t is called a semakuir,
and its popularity is that it turns black
before approaching rain, while in fine
weather it is notified in spots OF white
investigation has shown the stone to
be a sort Of fossil. mixed with clay, rock
salt and nitre. When the air is moist
the salt turns black; when the air is
dry the salt shows in white spots
on the surface of the stone.

The Westervelts defeated the Red Stars
in the three games they played. In the
first game the stellar team made their
best showing. They batted heavily and
did excellent work in the field, losing the
game only in the last inning by a score
of 11-12. The record game showed them
to be weaker and disconnected in their
team work. This game was decided by
a score of ITO. The third game was a
walkover for the Westervelts. The Red
Stars never got near them, as the win
ners made their runs in large numbers
from the start. Poor fielding on their
side enabled the Stars to place the score
at 8 to IA, in favor of the Westervelts.
The Baseball Eaters played the Orchard
Street Indians a series of games, best
two out of three, and used the latter as
they liked. The score in the first game
was $3, and in the second I7-9, in favor
of the Ball Eaters.
The Jokers defeated the Evans in a
close game yesterday. Williams pitched,
and proved to be the Joker IN the
deck. He is credited with having put
out twelve men. He was poorly support
ed, however, and his team had a close
call. MeGrath pitched fer the Evans. He
seemed to be very weak, and was hit at
will. Errors were as numerous as players
almost, the Evans making 8 to the Jokers
