Very Much in Demand and It's Source
Entirely Unknown.
One OF the most valuable minerals
OF which tho source OF supply is very
little known. and is consequently very
limited. is that OF platinum In De
cember 1904, discovery was made
OF a platinum group Of metals in The
copper ores Of the Rambler mine in
Wyoming. The uses Of this metal
would be greatly increased If it could
be found IN sufficient quantity To re-
duce the present high price and to
make a certainty OF a sufficient supply
to warrant further enlargement of
its uses.
For very many purposes there has
as yet been found no other metal that
will perfectly take its place. TheicOn-
sequence is that the price of platinum
keeps up almost equal To that of gold.
aud the demand for it has been some
what increased in the last few years
by the discovery OF use of Osmium
which occurs in a considerable extent
in American platinum as tie mineral
osmeridium.
The present known deposits occur
in three forms First. in places, as eX.

DR.. A. C. Newton. superintendent of
the Kansas State schools for feeble
minded youths, located at Winfield,

Regarding that institution and his la
bors, DR.. Newton said:
I'm the ancient days no philan-
thropic government gave any heed to
the pitiable condition of children who
came into the world minus the ave-
rage amount of human intelligence.
Indeed. state care of these unfortu-
mates is a late development. Formerly
idiotic youth were chained like wild
beasts.
kansas, like several other states
notably Pennsylvania and California,
has made provision in this regard, and
at Winfield 500 feeble-nlinded boys
and girls are kept comfortably. All
of them are not absolutely intellectual
blanks; some can master few frag-
mentary bits of learning. They are.
with the exception of the wholly help
less, also given some industrial train

mentally deficient to girls is as five
to three and a half, though why the
male sex should furnish more imbe-
Giles has never been explained.

mentable state are not generally known,
but the intemperance of parents, for
merly thought the chief factor, is no
longer so regarded. Poverty-that is
to say, low status of living-is prob
ably the greatest agent in producing
children of this type. Disease is also
a factor, and there should be stringent

THE INFTELD FLY RULE.
Does Not Include Foul Fly, for No
Force Play Could Be Made.

The infield fly rule was introduced
into the code for the protection of
base runners, and obviously does not
apply when there is no occasion for
this protection. An exchange declines
to decide the following query: with
first, second and third bases occupied,
a foul fly hit is one that can be handled
by one of the infielders. Is the bats
man out whether the infielder catches
the ball or not?" To bring the queS-
ton within the operation of the in
field fly rule, it will be presumed that
when the ball was batted there was
only one out. The rule was adopted
to prevent the infielders from trap
ping fair balls and making double or
triple plays. Prior to the adoption of
section s, rule 81, the batsman who
batted a fly to the infield became a
runner, and if the ball were not
caught on the fly the runners on first
and second bases were forced, and
hence became easy victims to trickery
and clever infielders. Under the sec
ton referred to, the batsman who hits
a fly ball that can be handled by an
infielder before two hands are out,
while first and second or first and
is out ipso facto. AS he does not be-
come a base runner, there is no force
and the base runners secure immunity
from being put out by staying on their
respective bases, their rights thereto
not being in the least affected by the
infield fly.
AS under no circumstances can a
base runners right to base be for
feited by force from a foul ball, the
infield fly rule made for the protection
of base runners does not include
foul fly. What could an infielder ac-
complish for his side by trapping
foul fly that he could handle? AS
soon as he allowed the ball to touch
the ground 1T would be out of play,
and he would have simply thrown
away a chance to retire an opponent.
If the batsman to whom he had given
a life had less than two strikes when
the ball went foul, a strike would be
recorded against him. Any attempt
by the base runner to advance a base
on a foul that is not caught by an
inhelder would be futile, and if he
raced to second or third or stayed on
the base he was entitled to he would
be exempt from being put out until
the ball was again in play.-St. Louis
