Regarding a Recent Trip Made Over
the New York Central.

Charles Battell LOOMS writes:
"Allow you to tell you what pleas
ant trip had over your lines. With
a good book and with the country that
lies outside the window panes to look
at and the characters that sat along
side the same panes to study and the
thought of the dining car, travelling Is
such a pleasant thing that wonder
the whole world does not travel all
the time"

from the stat,elemen,who held him and
made pitiful attempt to gallop after
them.
Many had lost heavily on Highball,
one or two az much at $4,000. but
none thought Of money. A kind Of
moan went through the crowd. Many
women cried like children, with no
thought Of red eyes or impaired com.
plexions. w. NJ. scheftel, who owned
Highball, walked by the clubhouse
with tears running down his cheeks.
The last act In the tragedy Of a thor
oughbred came when people had gone
home. The doctor shook his head over
the splintered bone. Scheftel nodded tn
his trainer. Highball watched them all
the while with his big. intelligent eyes.

Turbine. or ..7oo Year. Aso.

/ The turbine of which we hear and
expect so much in these days, Is by no
means an idea new in mechanics.
n'wenty-seven hundred years ago, in
the little nation of the Chadees, ad-
joining Armenia. the water turbine
was known, and built. and used in
milling. 1t was then called the "shell
wheel" The wheel was used in a
horizontal position. no effort being
made to secure the greatest value of
the water pressure. The wheel was
connected to a vertical shaft which
turned the stone and ground the grain
into a coarse -four. Near the City Of
Van, believed to have been built 1900
years Il. c., there still remain canals
in n good state of preservation. One
of them, sixty miles long. is now used
for irrigation and power At one time,
centuries agone, there were forty mills
on this canal. and to-day the remains
of these ancient institutions may be
seen. Flour mills, driven by these sim.
pie turbines, of the same type as was
used there 200 years ago. are still in
operation. The Duetcher Mueller. Ber.
lin. says: These turbines were
brought to the notice Of the modern
world and quite generally adopted In
Europe from 1850 to 1890. These Chal.
dees are not to be COMPOUNDED with
the Chaldeans of Mesopotamia. DE.

FINE POTTS IN BASEBALL
Modern Players Have Attained the
Greatest Skill.

Greatest Skill.
my, my, but they handle baseball
In a hurry now said an old rooter, in
the New Orleans Times.Denocrat,
land 1t would be interesting to know
just how rapidly they do handle a
ball. Why, It is almost impossible now
for man who Is at all irregular In
his attendance at the ball game to get
on to all the plays. 1t takes some
thing more than quick eye to follow
the ball. The eye must be trained
also. 1t must have practice. Persons
who do not go out to the game often
enough to follow the ball lose the fine
points of the game. The ball, you
know, Is always the center Of attrac-
ton. The ball tells the story. We
may think we are taking extraordinary
interest In this or that player. But
the ball Is the thing We IRE watching
all tho time. But 1t Is marvellous how
the professionals can get the ball from
one base to another, or clear across the
diamond from the catcher to the Sec
ond baseman. or from far out In the
field to the home plate. 1t simply sig
xles. 1t burns the air. The throw 10
not only long one, but deal Of &C.
curacy Is required to get 1t In the right
place.
when you come to think of It, tho
man who throws ball over the home
plato from far out field Is performing
q rather difficult task. There are three
necessary things-sufficien arm power
to make the long throw, accuracy in
throwing In order to get 1t over the
plate and quickness In fielding the bah.
The player must not tumble and fool

Altering stamps.

No change or alteration of any sort
should be made by Il collector in his
stamps 1t was u custom, some years
ago. among collectors to erase conccl-
alton marks from their stamps. in or.
der to make their stamps better. The
effect of the attempt was not all that
could he desired. The erasures were
not perfect, and the stamps in the
changed condition. being neither can.
celed nor uncanceled. were simply in
ferior damaged specimens. One of the
most common ways of altering stamps,
at the present time. Is to erase the
word specimen from stamp hav-
ing this overprint. 1t cannot be done
so that it will not be detected, and the
stamp in the altered condition Is
worthless, while as specimen" it
had some value. 1t has frequently
happened that stamps. valuable in
their original condition. have been
made worthless by attempts to In.
crease their value by alteration.-St.
