The game OF baseball that was played In
Taneytown last Friday between cur boys
and the club of that place was more of a
farce 1t began raining little before the
gam started and kept il up until about fif.
teen minutes after the game closed. The
ball was so wet and slippery that to get it
over the plate it was necessary to throw slow
overland balls. Our boys didn't seem to be
in it until the beginning of the latter half
when they began to score in earnest with the
evident and positive intention Of winning
In the seventh inning with two runs al.
ready scored and the bases full, and a batter
to be depended upon it looked as though at
least i've runs would be made in that half at
the bat, but he fouled and lost the ball. An.
other ball was not produced and after wait.
ing fifteen minutes the home team lett the
ground, thus forfeiing the game to Thur.

A CENTURy.-In our last issue we stated
that century on earth covered period OF
one hundred years and one day; we promised
an explanation in this issue. 1t is as follows;
By arbitrary location, line running from
the north to the south pole, passing through
the central Pacific Ocean has been adopted
as the International Date Line: the day be-
gins on this line with the first second after
midnight and as it takes twenty four hours
for the earth to turn once upon its axis, the
day thus begun on that line with the first
second after midnight ends on that line with
the last second of the twenty-fourth hour
thereafter. The twentieth century will he
gin on this line with the first second Of the
first day of January 1901 and will end on this
line with the last second of the year 1000, or
one hundred years after it began there But
as already shown, 1t requires twcnty-four
hours for midnight to come to the entire
circuit of the globe after it arrives at this
line. hence from the beginning Of the first
day of January 1901, on this line, until the
end of the 3lst day of December 1000, on this
lind is one hundred years and one day. AT
any one point on the carth's surface, CELL
tury covers period of one hundred years,
but from its actual beginning on until its
actual end, is one hundred years and one
day.
