CURIOUS WATCH
That an Observant Teacher Took
Away From a Pupil.

A"dIt an ODserVant Teacher Took
Away From a Pupil.
New York Tribune.
Inc boys had assembled in the big study
hall for the annual examination. ard the
questions had all been distributed. when
the teacher in charge said: Now, gen
tlemen, you know that you will have ar,
hour to answer the questions, there must
be no communica ton, and that notes
textbooks and other aids may not be
used"
linen every man went to work, and the
teacher in charge walked noiselesslv
about the room, watching the students at
work Presently he stopped and looked
lntently at young man who held his
open watch slightly below his desk and
looked at it in stealthy manner while
he wrote. This was repeated several
times, and was always seen by the teach
er from his position a little back of the
student. After the fourth or fifth CON
sultatlon the teacher went forward and
asked the student: what time is If nv
your watch?"
The student said that bis watch was
cut Of repair
But you have looked at it every five
minutes since the session began
Have I?' asked the student. sheen
ishly
L think you had better let me take
the watch until after the session." and
the teacher extended his hand while the
young man detached the hunting-casa
watch from the chain and passed It over
the head of a fellow-student to the teach
er.
The teacher pressed the spring. the
watch case opened and disclosed an emp
ty space except for a card on which
was written in large letters, Rubber

Gle explained later to his classmates how
there may be a good time in a watch that
has no works.

MASKED PITFALLS
OF Quicksand Found In the Desert
of Arizona

Chicago Record
Curious but dangerous freaks of ma
ture frequently found in the desert Of
Arizona are called Sumideros by the
Mexicans and Indians. They are mask d
pitfalls of quioksand that occur in the
dry plains are covered with treach-
erous crust Of clay that has been spread
over them in fine particles by the wind
and baked dry by the sun
The peculiar properties of the soil re-
tain all the moisture drained into them
after the infrequent rains, and allow 1t to
be filtered to unknown depths, so that
a man or a horse or a COW or a sheep
that once steps upon that deceptive
crust instantly sinks cut of sight beyond
hope Of rescue. The Sumideros are on
a level with the surface of the desert.
There is no danger signal to mark them
and their surface cannot be distin-
guished by the ordinary eye from
the hard clay that surrounds them. They
occur most frequently in the aIkal-cov-
cred flats, and are often fifteen or twen-
ty feet in diameter. Sometimes they
are only little pockets or wells that a
nan can leap across, but the longest
pole has never found their bottom. A
stone thrown through the crust sinks
to unknown depths, and no man who
ever fell into one of them was rescued
They account for the mysterious disap-
pearance of many men and cattle.

is so has never been explained, yet we
see parallel instances everywhere in ma
ture.
Oak gals are either sDongy or woody.
The former are of no value to man, but
the latter are largely used in the manu-
facture of inks and dyes. This is due to
the fact that they contain a large per
centage of tannic acid, and when COM
bined with certain salts of iron form
black, dark brown, or purple dyes, of alb
sOlutely permanent color. In our country
gals adapted to commercial purposes
cannot be found in sufficient quantities
to supply the demand. The gals ex-
ported from Aleppo, in Syria, are the
most valuable known for the manufac-
ture of inks and dyes. Ink used for I'M
portant legal documents is required by
the law Of England and France to be

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 2S.-(Spe-
cial. )-Before the largest crowd, with one
exception OIemorial day, 1856, that ever
attended a bail game in Grand Rapids
the Saints defeated the Western league
Prodigals at Recreation park this after
noon Close to 5000 people sat through a
one-sided contest in sweltering weather.
The home team started out like a winner,
but after the third inning was never in
the game. Left Fielder Crawford was
put in TO pitch, and he twirled in rather
listless manner for three innings, during
which time the visitors pounded him for
three two-baggers and as many singles,
which netted them four runs. Then he
was sent to his garden and Cross took
the box, Sullivan going to the bench.
The Saints punched hits on Cross in the
fifth and sixth, errors by Buckley and
Tebeau making base running easy.
Fisher pitched a steady, effective game,
and was given good support. Shugart's
tumble, single and a double by Tebeau
allowed the locals their only runs in the
first inning. Geier, Burke and Lally per-
formed star work in the outfield and
Pickering distinguished himself by pull

two men out at bases from the outfeld.
Lally made a wonderful one-handed
catch Of line fly from chickering's bat
IN the fifth, after a long run, which was
easily the feature of the game.
People lined the right field fence, and a
two-base ground rule was made, which
accounts for so many two-baggers, that
section being the mark Of the batters.
Glenalvin and Spies, the old Grand Rap
ids players, were given a warm reception
from the fans when they went to the
bat. Score:

Police WON AT BUFFALO.
The Game stopped at the End of
the First Inning.


BUFFALO, n. Y, July 23.-(SpeciaL)-
The Minneapolis and Buffalo base ball
clubs started to play their schedule game
here this afternoon, but after two men
had been to bat for the visitors in the
second inning, a police sergeant stopped
the game and placed all the players I'M
deF arrest. They were taken to the sta
ton house, where all were admitted to
bail and released for the appearance in
police court tomorrow morning.
This is the. first Sunday game this sea-
son that has not been finished and had
II not been for the stupid work of the
police sergeant there would have been
no arrests today until the game had been
finished.
Capt. Regain, in whose precinct the ball
grounds are situated, received orders
from his superiors to arrest all persons
who violated the law by playing ball on
Sunday.
The captain has always obeyed orders.
but he usually waited until the last half
of the last inning. Today he happened
tC be away on other business and he left
word with the sergeant to arrest the
players, supposing that the sergeant
would know enough to wait until the
game was over. The sergeant did not
wait for this, however but went innne-
dlately to the grounds and made the ar
rests. O.
At one time ii looked as though
there would be trouble. Rain checks We're

At Aurora park yesterday afternoon the
Defenders and Northern Lights met on

footed up it was found that the Northern
Lights had been showed under by II to 4.
One feature of the game was the pitching
of La Iverg, for the Defenders, who
struck out eleven men. The batting of
Fitzgerald, for the same nine, was an
other appreciated feature.

THE vEsPER SERVICE.
Held in the First Presbyterian
Church Yesterday.

More and more enjoyable and better
attended become the vesper services
each Sunday afternoon at the First
Presbyterian church. Yesterday, In ad-
dition to the short sermon by the pas
tor. Rev. James Mcleod, ID. D., a quar-
tette comprising Mrs. Crossin-O' Brien,
Mrs. II. s. Keller, David stephens and
John 4. Watkins sang two anthems
and Mrs. Stephens sang solo.
DR.. McLeod's sermon was based upon
thoughts taken from Paul's first epistle
to the Corinthians and the thirteenth
chapter The theme was Christian
Love-" He said that the epistle, while
written in prose style, was really poetry
and that II told of Christian love.
There were two main characteristics
to this Christian love which placed 1t
far above all else. These were its com
prchensiveness and it's permanence.
This love rises above all other graces.
It must be linked with all these or they
are as nothing.
This love strengthens, beauties,
makes one tolerant and is long suf-
fering. To have this grace Is to have
the spirit of Jesus Christ. This grace
which will make us like Him here
after, is the only grace which makes
us like Him here and we should ac-
quire it.
