VIII Spend Fortune IN New York.
That It took sublime faith In the
future Of the national game as well
as nerve to establish an American
League baseball team in New York Is
shown plainly enough by the great
cost Of the enterprise. Joseph Cor
don, the president Of the New York
American League club will spend
close to s2O0.0OO this season for this
purpose. How much he viii get back
this season remains to be seen.
In an interview he said that he
could hardly hope to make money
this year Next, year, however, when
he figures that his expenses will be
about 5000, he expects to make a
big profit
There is only one way to make
big money in baseball in New York y
said Mr.. Fordon, "and that is by get
ting together team strong enough
to be a winner. and that is what 1 in
tend to do. In 1889 | followed the
policy with Mr.. Day and the club
came out more than 100000 ahead.
THE New York club also made more
than 100000 in 1888 Needless to
say, the Giants won the champion
ship in those years.
so you see how vitality important
the question Of having a trstclass
team is in my opinion"

The fierce and savage head hunters
Of Borneo go to war armed with the
same implements with which the
schoolboys shoot peas or pellets OF
clay at unsgsPecting citizens as they
pass the ambuscade of tree or fence
The blowguns used by the Diaks Of
Borneo are called sumpitans, and, in
stead Of clay balls, they carry pois-
oned arrows.
A spear is also attached to one
side of one end Of the sumpitan, after
the manner OF a bayonet on modern
rifle.
This curious weapon is about eight
feet in length, and not quite an inch
in diameter. and is bored with the
greatest accuracy, task that occu
pies a long time. the wood being very
hard and the interior Of the sumpiian
smooth and even polished.
Among the South American In
dians the sumpitan is represented by
the long, delicate .pucunaH or the
heavy and unwieldy "zarabatana" All
savages use poisoned arrows in their
blowguns, instead of harmless pellets
Of clay or putty
Taking a few hints from the primi-
tive warriors and hunters OF Borneo
and South America, any boy with
little care and small expense. can
construct for himself a bIowgun which
win be handy to carry around and will
shoot with great accuracy.
To make a blowgun get a piece OF
glass tubing three or four feet long
such a piece can be bought for quar-
tef-and wrap it in flannel Of any soft
cloth and then insert It in case made
by boring out an old piece Of cane or
bamboo fishing pole with a redhot
wire.
You win then have a blowgun that
will be perfectly accurate and one that
with care will last long time, as

ing broken by anything short Of a
severe blow.-New York Tribune
