Articles Dropped in Calumet
Mine Shaft Always Found
Clinging to East Sido-Invest-
isation Going On.

II is an interesting scientific fact,
and one not generally known, that
nothing that falls from the mouth of
the deepest mining shaft in the world
ever reaches the bottom. This has
been demonstrated at the famous Red
Jacket shaft of the Big Calumet. The
article, no matter what shape or size
1t may be, is invariably found clinging
to the east side of the shaft.
One day monkey wrench was
dropped, but 1t did not get to the
bottom. It was found lodged against
the east side Of the shaft several hun
dred feet down. This incident COM
ing to the attention of the Michigan
College Of Mines, it was decided to
make careful test of the apparent
phenomenon. 1t was decided best to
use small but heavy spherical body,
and marble, tied to a thread was
suspended about twelve feet below
the mouth of the shaft. When the
marble was absolutely still, assuring
that 1t would drop straight down, the
thread was burned through by the
fame of candle. The marble fell.

The Season In Review.

The baseball season of 1906 will go
down into history as the most prosper
Gus season ever enjoyed by organized
baseball
Inc attendance at both National and
American League games this season
mas increased wonderfully, probably 20
per cent around the entire circuit, and
out OF the sixteen clubs not more than
three will be losers financially.
Prosperity has attacked the game
again and the magnates are cleaning
rich harvests after many lean years.
The season has been one of sur
prises and upsets in the American
league, astonishing reversals of form,
and yet, in the National, the teams
nave run pretty close to their true abil-
lty, except Cincinnati. The American
mas outdrawn the National and
strengthened its position, although the
quality of ball in that league and in
the National has improved, with the
exception of the three dead clubs that
the league was forced to carry through
the year.
This partly is because the old stars
OF the American are getting older and
because the youngsters that were
picked up by the National at the time
the American raided them and carried
on their stars, are improving. I'm
doubtedly the fact that the National
league race has been one-sided from
the start, and that almost every team
in the American has held the lead al
times or been within striking distance
has made the interest keener, and the
brilliant finish of Chicago has aroused
interest all through the circuit.
