DISCOURAGING SEASON.
Alma College Base ball Ciab Looks for
Better Work Next Year.

IL is idle to say that this has not been
successful baseball season so far as the
number OF games won 10 concerned.
Alma has not won college game and
makes no excuses for her defeats. The
season has been very backward and
although Coach Fisher was here five
weeks, the condition of the grounds
made much practice under his direction
impossible. We sincerely hope that
Mr. Fisher may return next year. Alma 8
weak ness at the bat was partially
remedied, but not enough TO win games.
When hits meant runs, there was not a
hit forthcoming.
About half of this years squad will
return next year and II a good coach is
provided there is no reason why good
team cannot be developed. We believe
that the weakness Of the team lays not
in the team itself but in the lack OF
coach, when coach was necessary.
The students and faculty were very
generous, but in small college popular
subscription will not go great ways.
Ii others colleges can secure a coach,
surely Alma, the one college that has
made such rapid progress In regard TO
costly buildings and other lines can pro-
vide funds sufficient 90 pay the salary OF
Goa ch for two months. It is well
known fact that Alma's football teams
have done more to make Alma known
throughout the state than any other
instrumentality. Why not do some
thing for baseball or else cut it out en-
tirely? No man likes to he defeated

Winning the Game by IA score.of to 3.
In one OF the best played ball games
Of the season Alma defeated her old
rival, Mt. Pleasant, on Davis Field,
Saturday, May 81. Ms. Pleasant has a
strong team and is practically the same
team that claimed the championship of
the state last year. BY former per.
formances Mt. Pleasant was looked mp
on as the winner and they themselves
were confident OF victory. But Alma
had made up her mind TO defeat her old
rival and she carried out her plans.
The game started out in Mt. Peasants
favor by scoring one run in the first and
one in the second inning, where the
score remained until the beginning OF
the sixth inning, when Alma connected
with Campbell's curves and scored one
run. This was repeated in the seventh
inning and thus tied the score. Alma
again scored in the eighth and then the
score was TO in Alma's favor. In
the first half Of the ninth MI Pleasant
tied the SCORE. then Alma again scored
one thus winning the game by the score
OF 4 to 3. The game was an exciting
one and was marked by sharp fielding
on both sides. Mt. Pleasant hit as hard
as Alma but " as not fortunate enough
TO bunch their hits. The feature OF the
playing was the battery work OF John
son and Watson, Alma's star battery,
Johnson striking out ten men during
the game. Wood infield work was al
so bright feature of the day. The

iNExHAusTIsLE FERTILIZER.
Invention Perfected BY Which Nitro
gen is Obtained From the Air.

There is happy timeliness in the
appearance in Harper's Magazine oil
Mr.. Ray Stannard Bakers article or
The Scientist and the Food Prob
lem" In ii he states the facts iD
connection with the exhaustion Of the
soil in agricultural countries. partic
ulariy by the depletion of heterogeneous
products. which are the greatest of ali
natural fertilizers. The problem
he says. "as seen by the pessimists
is simple: The world is reaching the
limits OF its capacity for food produc
ton, while the population continues
To increase enormously: How soon
will starvation begin?" But Mr. Ba-
ker is no; pessimistic when man
seems just at the limit of his re
sources. science ana invention step in
and open new fields, literally as well
as figuratively." The writer proceeds
TO give an account of the fine work
in scientific fertilization that is be
ing accomplished. Almost simultane
ously with the publication of this use
full article comes the announcement
that two American electrochemists.
Mr.. c. S. Bradley and Mr. d. r. Love
joy, have perfected an invention by
which the nitrogen OF the atmosphere
is readily turned to nitric acid and
made available. in abundance and at
a moderate cost, for agricultural fer
tiliZation and commercial use. The
fixation of nitrogen is effected by e,ec
trochemical treatment OF the atmos-
phere. The inventors of the process
seem 10 have arrived at this important
achievement by following up a clue
furnished by DR. Priestley. a famous
physicist. as long ago as the eigh
teenth century. Sir William Crookcs,
too. recently proposed that nitrogen
be obtained in this way. There are
seven tons of nitrogen gas weighing
down every square yard of the surface
of the earth Thus building the size
of Carnegie Music Hall holds about
twenty-seven tons of nitrogen. and II
this could be fixed In the form OF
nitrate OF soda il would be worth at
least $4,000. The immense import
ance of the new invention may be
gathered from the following remarks
of Mr.. Baker in the article before
mentioned: The failure of the nitro
gen of the soil and the inability TO
supply it in sufficient quantities by ar
tificial means has formed the basis of
the predictions of coming starvation
made by Sir William Crookes and
Others. Indeed. if the world ever
starves. it will be from lack of nitro
gen; and yet II such starvation takes
place. II will be in q world full of
nitrogen"

DOG PLEADS BEFORE JUDGE.

An amusing trial has ended at
Prague in which dog played the lead
ing part
The owner of the dog was sued by
an engineer. who claimed damages
for a bite from the animal He also
denounced the dog as vicious. AT the
trial veterinary surgeon who was
called in tried has utmost to rrl,@.e
the dog by teasing him. but the ami
NAL kept its temper.
The complainant then demanded
that in order to test its real disposi-
ton, its owner should be turned out
of court and the dog let loose among
the audience. This was done after
the dog had been muZzled.
The dog. however. continued to dis
play the greatest good humor. holding
up one paw after another and wagging
its tail. Finally il ran to the judge.
before whom IL sat on its hind legs
begging in a most pathetic manner.
The judge thereupon pronounced the
dog TO be a veritable lamb. and gave
judgment for its owner.-Philadelphia

CATS AND DOGS IN NEW YORK
An Estimate CT their Numbers,
Based on Defoe's Figures.

Few OF US. suppose" said Prof.
Won Joggieby. have any adequate no
ton of the actual number of cats and
logs that would be found in New York
if census of them could be taken.
We all know. in a general way. that
there are iots OF dogs here and
good many eats: but fen of us. sup
pose. have any adequate conception OF
their actual numbers. Perhaps We
could ge, some light on this subject
by the al! of certain statistics con
tanned in Defoe'S history OF the
plague in London.
1t being deemed that dogs and cats
were dangerous to the community at
that time. on account Of their natural
habit of running about from house 10
house ana from street 10 street.
whereby they would spread the infec'
ton. it was decreed that al dogs and
cats should be killed and officers were
appointed for their execution.
III IS Incredible. If their account IS
TO be depended upon Says Defoe,
what a prodigious number of these
creatures were destroyed. | think
they talked of 10000 dogs AMI five
times as many cats. few houses being
without a cat. some having several.
sometimes five or six in house.
There are some persons. know.
who. while conceding to Defoe full
credit for the power OF his magma
ton, are inclined 10 doubt his accu.
racy as historian. But my own OBJ
seryations of the conditions in New
York at the present time prompt me
TO accept his dog and cat statistics a

as true: and so accepting them. what
do We find?

We should get ratio of 10000 dogs

Now. multiply these figures by
four. the number OF millions of people
now finding home in New York. and
we find that there are here existing
at the present day 100000 dogs and
500 600 cats. and these figures be

Il know. for instance. that from my
study window which commands
view of a range OF backyards. see in
every yard one dog at least. and in
some two. while the cats that walk
the fence-tops are innumerable. and
is it not fair to assume that the same
conditions exist everywhere?
And do We not meet dogs and cats
