River Plata countries and probably in

Is as follows:
In these countries they neither use
the arch iron, but hardwood. which,
having mostly to come a thousand
miles down the river, IS dear. So all
the floors and the roof, which is fat,
are supported by joists shaped as in

rails Of the same hardwood, about a
foot apart, upon which rests the ends

With the reported princely salaries
TO be drawn by some OF the baseball
players, whose services are in demand
by both the National and American
leagues, the older fans are reminded
Of the deals Of years gone by when
King Kelly, John ClarksOn, and other
players whose names are now but
memories were the central figures in
the baseball world. It was in 1885
that the baseball world was astounded
by the purchase Of Mike Kelly from
the Chicago club by the Boston man
agement, the sum Of $40. 900 being paid
the former club for The Kings" re
lease.
.Thiszd gigantic as It vas for one
player, was beaten two years later,
when Bob -Carruthers was sold by
Chris Won der Abe Of the St Louis
Browns to the Brooklyn club, Elso
Of the American Association, for the
magnificent sum OF S14.25O. This rec
ord for the sale Of players is still
unique in baseball lore Carruthers

ing stan, and had been the mainstay
o. the Browns for the three seasons
when they won the pennant in the
association. Then the Brooklyn club

A case which occurred in Cheshire,
England, in 1897 is probably without
parallel in the history OF tragic coin
eidenees. A lawyer well known in
Liverpool, whose name We win say is
Smith, was playing with his. children
one evening when his youngest boy. a
little fellow Of I'VE, asked to be lifted
up. The father at once complied BY
placing a hand on each side Of the
boys head and raising him a foot or
so from the floor. When he placed
him on his feet again the boy fell to
The ground apparently ffeless- Every
EFFORT was made to restore him to con-
sciousness, but without effect, and the

asserted that the child was undOubted-

had occurred. Calling another Of his
