Are Still Used for a Variety of Pur-
poses.
From the New York Sun
Strange to say, sandglasses are still used
to measure varying periods of time The
size depends upon the purposes to which
they are to be put The hour glass Is still
in use in the sick room and in the music
room. In both places afferdine a sure and
silent indication Of the progress of time.
Half-hour glasses are used in schools, and
ffteen-minute glasses are used for medical
the kitchen as an aid to exact cooking
There are also ten-minute glasses. five-min-
ute glasses and three-minute glasses, the
two latter being used to time the boiling
period of eggs. The three-minute sandglass
is called an "egg boiler" Sandglasses are
also used for scientific purposes and on
shipboard. being more convenient than
holding a watch.
They are made in this country and are
also imported from abroad. The sand is
carefully prepared by a thorough cleaning
including boiling. 1t is then baked dry and
uniformity. as sharp sand would be likely
to become wedged in the opening between
the two sections OF the glass. The sand is
then introduced into the glass through an
opening left for that purpose in the end of
one bulb, the opening then being sealed
The right quantity in each sandglass is
gagged by actually timing the flow from one
part Of the glass to the other, and every
glass Is individually treated like a good
thermometer. The glasses are usually
mounted in cylindrical frames or holders,
so that the twin bulbs can be seen at all

Base Ball Notes,

Philadelphia is back in first place
Jimmy Siagle's playing was once more
the feature of the game in PHILADELPHIA
yesterday.
Setback tied the score in New York yes
terday with home run. and 1t will be In
teresting to watch Sells" playing from
now on. There is not a better player in
the big league than the German Senator
when things begin to break in his favor.
Cupid Chlds is playing a great game
for the ChicaSos, his second base fielding
and batting being reminders of the days
when Clarence was at his best.
The result at st. Louis yesterday must
be taken with grain of salt. A win by
the Chicagos means big business for both
teams in the latter city for the next three
days. and the Colts were in for a cold re-
ception at home otherwise.
Charley Irwin has evidently regained his
batting eye. his work with Cincinnati so

Reds management need not look further for
a third baseman.

was asked for an opinion OF his club He
said he couldn't tell yet, as they had not
faced any first-class clubs.
There were three men on the bases for
the Pirates in Cincinnati when the trinJe
play was made the other day. O'Brien
drove a hot liner to Irwin at short and as
all runners had started with the crack of
the ball against the bat 1t was an easv

There is discussion amounting almost to
scandal in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church over the tablet recently placed in
the vestibule in memory Of the Rev. DR..
John Hall The text of Scripture which is
inscribed on the tablet has caused much
comment in the church and outside of it,
and there are not few of the congregation
who feel that something should be done to
modify the work of the committee that had
the preparation of the tablet in charge
The tablet is on the wall of the vestibule
of the church, at at the right of the prin-
cipal door. 1t is thus inscribed:
