record of the world is not beyond his

A player who would hit an umnire
ought to be chased out of the game, not
for a season, but for good. The way base
ball is managed nowadays. 1t is a wonder

chance with everybody else. The closest
guess will win the first ticket, and the

are several correct guesses or guesses
so near the exact description of the uni
form that they cannot be distinguished,
then the prizes will be given to the
two correct guessers who mailed their

hooves guessers to guess early. 1t is
also good idea to guess often.

CARNEY GETS HIS RACE.
Valves Protest and Goes
on Track and
Wins.

Buffalo, N Y, Aug. 9.-The biggest
crowd of the grand circuit meeting as
sembled at the Fort Erie track this af-.
ternoon, about 5000 persons being there.
When the unfinished 22O trot was
called Lockwood, trainer of George
Carney, who had won two heats on
Tuesday and protested against the
postponement, later driving a heat by
himself and claiming the race, decided
to contest with the others, contemplat-
ing an appeal to the board of review, if
he failed to win. The judges said they
would expel him if he did not show up,
and ignored the solitary heat business
of Tuesday
In the pooling there was some uncer-
tainty, owing to the peculiar conditions,
but Carney sold favorite. After being
beaten in a close finish by Venus III in
the first heat, Starter Walker was COM
PEELED to send the bad acting Venus
away to a bad break in the final heat.
With nothing in the way Carney
stepped off handily and closed the In
cident.
The Abbott added the free-for-all to
his list handily, Eagle Flanagan hay
ing enough to do to take care Of the
place. There was a spirited fight for
the money between Dare Devil from
the Village Farm and Clayton, in the
2:10 trot. 1t looked like Clayton in the
final heat, but a break in his gear
tangled him up in a terrific break and
Geers loped home with the Devil. There
was nothing to the pace but Hal b.,
and Snow won looking about at his
party. Summary:

Tho AncIents Had Long List Of Days to

In ancient times 'thc !. =. = {. c.ffe>ss ssere
so supcrstitiuus with regard to certain,
days that they were pointed out in
their calendars with different colored
characters to mark the lucky ones and
the unlucky. and all classes arranged
the details of their daily life with
reference to these marks.
We of The present day claim to be
free from all this, but many there are
who will not begin journey nor Il
piece of work on Friday, nor cut the
hair i'm the last quarter of the moon.
and who are very much frightened if
the soft rays of Luna chance to fall
upon the face while they are asleep.
Friday is even under Il ban; even
with regard to the weather, there ia
an old saying which declares that
Fridays moon,
Come when it will, comes too soon.
In countries where capital punish
mcnt is i'll voguc Friday has nearly
always been ''hangman's day"
There arc many supcrStitions con-
nrctrd with New Years day; one that
is still firmly believed by many Of
the dcvout is that of opening the Bible

mlucky TO take anything out of the

taking something in; the old rhyme
which expresses this belief runs as
follows:
Take ont. then take in,

Good luck comes about.

The Largest Painting.

The largest painting in the world, ex.
elusive Of frescoes, is Tintoretto's "Par-
adise," hung in the grand salon Of the
Doge's palace at Venice. It's dimen-
sions are "a feet wide and "a feet high.
Yet for size it does not compare with
the famous fresco Of Michael Angelo,
which occupies the ceiling of the Sis
tine chapel Of the Vatican, and is 1873
feet in length and 43 feet wide. British
artists have sometimes executed large
pictures on canvas, the largest, per-
haps, being one by John Martin, the
subject being Joshua Commanding the
Sun to Stand Still" 1t was exhibited
in the Royal Academy in 1919. One Of
the largest pictures ever exhibited in
the Royal Academy was the famous
portrait group Of members of the
House of Commons, as assembled in
Parliament. 1t was painted by Phillips
and contained 600 portraits. Its dimen-
sions were 90 feet by II feet. Val Prin-
sep's picture, 'The Imperial Assem-
blage Held at Delhi by the Viceroy,
Lord Lytton," was very large-10 feet
by 27 feet, and occupied nearly the
whole of the east wall Of gallery 8.
These, however, are much smaller than
many that can be seen in the foreign
galleries.

FROM KOUKUK COUNTRY.
Farthest North Mining District in the
World.

J. P. Bauscaren from the East en-
route to the Koukuk mining country
in the Arctic Circle, the farthest north
inland mining district in the world.
He came down from that country sew
eral months ago, and is one of the few
white men who have returned, though
$500 miners went up there last spring.
Bauscaren has a map of the. Arctic
Circle region, which is the only map
of that country ever made to show all
the small creeks, lakes and mount
aims. 1t was made by q. H. Chapman,
who spent sevene years there.
"For some years past" says Baus-
caren, Indians have been bringing
out gold dust at the rate Of $1,000 to
$500 a year. Last year we went up
there with the Indians and found
many locations which paid rs cents to
the pan. I am taking hydraulic ma
chinery up now. Some six hundred
miles along the Koukuk river is Tram
way Bar, q raised table land where we
have 12O acres. We bring water over
the cliff, build an apron on the cliff
side and sluice, and throw the water
against the gravel, which will run off
down the sluice."

MIGHTY CLOSE SHAVE.
Chicago Electric Car Just Didn't Go
Through an Open Draw.

Chicago-Fifty people narrowly es-
capped death in accident to a Halsted-
street electric car at North Halsted-
street bridge. Approaching the bridge
at a rapid rate of speed, the motorman
of the car failed to notice that the
bridge was open. When within a few
feet of the river he suddenly discov-
cred the danger and put on the brakes
at the same time endeavoring to re-
verse the electric current.
In spite of his efforts. the front of
the car ran down onto. the abutments
of the bridge and hung there. One foot
further and it would have plunged in
to the river thirty feet below, and as
it was jammed with passengers, the
loss of life must have been frightful.
The motorman, thinking that the car
was doomed, warned the passengers
and then jumped into the river. Sew
eral persons were injured in the rush
but none killed. The motorman was
rescued.

A French inyention-a gun camera
Is the latest adjunct to instantaneous
photography, and in competent hands
may be rendered more obtrusive than
the omnipresent kodak. 1t has stock
like than of an ordinary gun, but the
barrel Is four inches in diameter, and
Is covered with leather. At the breech
Is square box, to which several small
levers are attached The weapon is
leveled upon a flying bird or any NOV
Ing object, the trigger is puller, a shut
ter is sprung, and the object is trans
fixed upon the film. Twelve shots may
be taken with it, and it is reloaded in
much the same manner as the ordinary
camera. 1t strikes one that the indus
trious burglar may object to the lnstru-
ment, as being another possible inter-
ference with the undisturbed exercise
Of his profession. AS with the micro
scope, Justice may find in it an inciden:
tai auxiliary.
