Attracted by the child's screams, the mother

A test Of an invention of this latter class was
made in London few days ago. The author OF

depth of three-quarters OF an inch with the
stun. and then subjected to the flame of blow
pipe. Similar specimens were thrust into boil
er furnace. The blowpipe. used continuously for
twenty minutes, did not sensihly raise the tenn
perature under the compound. The piece of
plastered wood that was put into the furnace
stayed there half hour. When it was re-
moved the coating was Clipped off with a tool
and the wood showed temperature Of only ~
degrees Fahrenheit. The only costly ingredient
of Mr.. Rous's mixture is tungstate OF soda.

held Providence in check handily
enough. But at times they tumbled
over one another to present Providence
runs, and did present them with half
their total
1t was a question whether Worcester
could pass the Grays on the home
stretch, as they rounded the turn neck
and neck. When Burns gave Ptovi-
dence a chance to forge ahead, which
was done, it seemed all over but the
shouting, for Worcester had only two
more chances to score, while one re-
manned with the Grays. Carr had
up his sleeve, and it was not
little, at that. When he let
out, the Worcesters shot ahead, and
when the flag dropped, Providence was
lighting it at the distance pole.
Leaving out Carrs home run, Nc
Quaid's playing was the particularly
brilliant feature of the game. He is
East and accurate. He made two plays
that sent the crowd into the air. With
A man on third and another on first, he
anne up for Bransfield's throw and re-
urned the ball, catching the runner
rom third by yards. The same situ-
,tion existed late in the game. Brans-
ieId threw down. The runner on third

nee of his mate earlier in the game.
McQuaid saw he didn't intend TO run,
nd tossed the ball back to Kuhn, who

He participated in the most peculiar
lay ever seen on the grounds. A
rounder came athim so hot he couldn't
old it, 1t struck his shins and
Dounded. He went after it, but the
ball was going faster than he. 1t kept
rolling toward first. Carr stretched
out something like 20 or 80 yards-may
be not so much, but it looked it-and
picked up the ball before the runner
reached the base.
Horton pitched well. In two in
nings only was there more than one
hit. In four innings not hit was
made, yet in two of those runs were
scored. Worcesters doubled their hits
in four innings. The score:

After yesterdays ball tgame at the
oval between Worcester and Provi-
dence, McQuaid of the W1orcesters will
have the credit of being fiHst in every
thing.
There was q man once who was first
in war, in peace, and in everything
along the pike, but he's out OF date now
since McQuaid joined the Worcesters.
McQuaid made his first appearance
yesterday. He made the first error, the
first bunt, the first stolen base, the first
run, got the first base on bals, was
the first to be applauded at bat, gained
the first applause for good work in the
filed, assisted in the first double play
and was the first to handle the BAH in
so doing, and after the game was over
he was the first at the supper table.
A dam, according to the official re-
cords of the game, was the first man
in which he beat out McQuaid, but the
lattel, has several legs on Adam. He,
was first several times, while Adam
was 4 rst only once. The only thing
lacking to fill the score card was that
he didn't play first.
But he did play second. Two or three
others in Worcester uniform have
played second or have endeaVored 70

the result being seven to four in favor
of Cornell. Cornell didn't reach first in
