Royal Superstition.

The Gar of Russia Is said to be very
superstitious and to have great confidence
in relics. He wears a ring in which he
believes is imbedded a piece of the true
cross. 1t was originally one of the treas
ures of the Vatican. and was presented to
an ancestor of the cZar for diplomatic rea-
sons. The value which the cZar sets upon
the ring. with its imbedded relic. is shown
by the following fact: Some years ago
the czar travelling from St. Peters
burg to Moscow. He suddenly discovered
that he had forgotten the ring. The train
was stopped Immediately and a special mes
senger sent back On an express engine for

A Disintere.teA View.


Frank Patterson. the Baltimore corre-
spondent of the Sporting News. has the
following to say about the transfer. situa-
tion in Saturdays paper:
Il notice the Sporting News says edito-
rally. in discussing the possibility of Han
lon Il Co. moving to Washington. that Eb-
bets and Abel residents of Brooklyn
That Is a mistake so far as Mr.. Abell IS
concerned. l do not think he was ever a
resident of Brooklyn. and certainly not In
recent years. For some years past Mr.
Abell has owned and occupied very costly
from 9TH avenue, on one of the cross streets
i think 3Sth, or not far from there. l
knew the address, but have forgotten 1t.
Not very long ago Mr. Abell sold his
like ssO.0o0 l believe but 1 hardly think he
moved to Brooklyn. He owns a summer
home on the New England coast. where ne
and his family spend the summer. and |
understand that after the sale of his house
he moved with his family to apartments In
big New York hotel.
LAS / remarked in my last letter, the only
thing that gives the Brooklyn club a local
flavor is the small block Of stock owned by
Ebbets. who is president. not because he
has any influence in the management. but
because he is the only Brooklyn man among
the stockholders and because he keens the
politicians from bleeding the club too
hard. AS it is. I have heard that the aver
age dead head attendance in Brooklyn IS
close to 800 game.
But. in spite of alien ownership I con-
fess l cannot understand why Brooklyn Is
such a frost to the champions. There are
easily a million Of people in Brooklyn alone,
not to speak of the vast numbers over on
Manhattan Island within easy reach Of
Washington Park. Brooklyn borough alone
has almost double the population of Balti-
more or st. Louis. and more than double
that of Cincinnati. Pittsburg, Washington
or Louisville. Yet any of those cities under
the same circumstances would do far better
than Brooklyn-a fact most Of them have
abundantly proven.
Washington Park and the Polo grounds
are about equally accessible from the center
of population in Greater Gotham. and yet
If the champions were situated at the Polo
grounds and called Giants they would, I
take it. easily draw Ave times as many peo-
pie as they do.
Just think of city of a million people,
with a tributary population of two million
more, turning out fewer ea.an 1000 paying
spectators to see chaTnplons play good vis-
iting teams. And yet they call Baltimore
and Washington 'dead1onea'

Experiments at the naval proving sta
ton. Indian Head, with the new high ex-
plOsive called thorite. which has been
tried at Sandy Hook by the Army with
some success. will be productive Of much
interest.
The explosive Is the invention OF DR..
Tuttle, of California, and is said by some
ordnance men to be superior to guneOtton
or other varieties OF explosives heretofore
tested by either the Army or Navy. It's
chief characteristics is the fact that 1t Is
not easily affected by weather conditions.
being safe under all climatic changes for
use on shipboard.
The one great trouble heretofore eXpe-
rienced by the Navy with high explosives
tested is the great danger Of premature
explosion and the failure to secure a sub
stance which will not explode on the i'm
pact OF a projectile. What the naval ord
nance officers have been striving to obtain
is an explosive that will not become Cf-
fective until the usual armor OF a warshlp
has been penetrated. the object being for
the destruction to occur in the interior

The precise number of pounds OF eXplo-
siye in the charge has not been deterinin.-
ed. nor have the ordnance experts the
slightest expectation OF what the edec,
