KNOCKERS AND BOOSTERS.

Editor Truth: In last Saturdays
issue of Todllin's Knocker is the fol-
lowing:
-. p Meakin is delivering series
of lectures in the east on the Mormon
question and likewise having himself
interviewed on the subject in promi-
nent eastern papers. A recent inter-
view with the lecturer and declaimer
appeared in the New York American,
to which paper he gave some very
valuable information upon local CON
ditions. 1t appears to be Mr.. Meakin's
mission in the east to prove that the
Mormons do not practice polygamy,

The Tribune makes a great howl to
the effect that the people have been
robbed by the new franchise granted
the Light e Railroad company and
by the city council. There is nothing
in the Tribune's cry. The entire OBJ
ject of the Tribune is to cover up the
facts. In the first place the Light
& Railroad company Is neither owned
or controlled by the Mormon church.
A. w. McCune owns As or 46 per cent
of the company, the English stock
holders own over 3S per cent of it,
and the church owns not to exceed 16
per cent of it, which it would be glad
to get rid of at less than cost. The
church control cry has no foundation
in fact. No matter who owns it the
franchise is a good one for the public.
The company had, prior to the grant
ing of the new franchise, franchises
running for about AZ years, which
it could operate under for that
length of time without hindrance. BY
the new grant they get a consolida-
ton of the old franchises and an ex-
tension of only about eight years. In
exchange for which they make a re.
duction of about 25 per cent in the
price of electric light and a similar
reduction in street car fares to pur
chasers of 100 car tickets at a time
it gives the city largely increased
number of electric lights free Of
charge and it deeds to the city its
water rights in Cottonwood canyon
All this in exchange for the short ex
tension of eight years. Those ar,
the facts, but the Tribune, Telegram
and the Herald until very recent!
strained all their nerves to misinforn
the public of the facts. The desir

The Tribune criticises Judge Dey
for defending Councilmen Wells, Tud-
denham and Barnes before Judge
Armstrong in the injunction matter,
brought by Thomas Homer. 1t spares
the attorney in no wise. Now as a
matter of fact Judge Dey was doing
his duty and that only in appearing
as counsel. The three men sought to
be enjoined are members of the city
council and when that action was
brought it was the duty of the city
attorney to appear for them. But it
is probable that had the councilmen
engaged other counsel the Tribune
would have been just as bitter toward
him. And in criticising hired coun
sci the Tribune would have been just
as consistent.

CHINESE POSSESS THRIFT.

"China would be a poor field for

to get hurt in order to collect their
insurance. Up the river from
Hong-Kong there's a little settle
ment of Englishmen. Just across
the river is a graveyard, inhabited
by a few scrub birds of the snipe
family. They are very poor shoot
ing, but your Briton must have
sport of some kind, and shooting
these birds is the only sport in
sight.
"One day an Englishman let
drive at a snipe and hit a China
man who had just bObbed out
from behind a tombstone. The
charge Of shot struck the cOOlie in
his wrist, putting his hand out
of business. OF course the China
man made a roar. The Briton.

There was never any good hunting

with marvellous cleverness
they'd manage to get in range just
when the Briton fired. If one Of
them had the luck to get two or
three birdshot in his system he
would come out, roar and collect.
OF course, this drove away the
snipe; but the coolies took to
catching birds, tying them by the
leg to gravestones and hiding
themselves in holes from which
could rise and get shot at the
proper moment. A'he Englishmen
had to stop hunting. 1t was too
expensive. One of the pleasant
and refined Chinese tOrtures is

PHOTOS WITHOUT A LIGHT
Pictures Of Wood Are Due to Activity
in the Wood Itself Accord
ing to Discovery.

1t has recently been found that
if sections of wood are placed in
contact with a Photographic plate
and both are kept in absolute
darkness a picture of the wood is
obtained, declares Golfers Week
ly. These photographs usually
show the annual rings of the stem
section sometimes it is the spring
growth which is most active on
the plate, and sometimes it is the
denser autumn growth which has
the greater effect.
The wood of all trees does not
show the same degree of activity,
some woods being nearly inert;
thus the wood of oak or beech is
active, that of elm or hOrse-chest-
nut comparatively inactive. The
wood seems to be the only part of
the tree which has this peculiar
power, since no pictures are given
by the bark and stem. Expert
ments have shown that it is the
resinOus principles of the wood
which are the effective agents in
this phenomenon.
The common resins are all ac-
tive on the Photographic plate in
the dark, although the true gums,
like gum arabic or cherry gum, are
quite inactive. 1t is also said that
if resins be dissolved in alcohol
and the alcoholic solution be
painted on paper the paper will
be active on the sensitive plate.
If a section of wood is exposed to
bright sunlight for FIVE or ten min
utes and then allowed to act on a
plate its power is found to be
greatly increased. This increase
in power persists for several days,
and even weeks.
An artificial light has the same
effect To a smaller extent. If the
wood is exposed to the sunlight
which has passed through col
Ored glass instead of to the full
white light the results obtained
with the different colors.
Red light has no activating power
the wood, green light has little,
whereas blue light is but little
less effective than white light. Ii
is worth noticing that the colors
which are inactive on the photo
graphic plate are the ones which
have little or no power to increase
the picture-making power of
wood.

MAKING OF The BASEBALL.

This is the story of abaseball. II
begins with a rubber core. Then
it extends through hundreds OF
yards Of wool yarn to a hOrsehide
cover. More hundreds of yards of
wool yarn give the r~esiliency, OF
bounce" Then comes cement,
and an outside cover within the
prescribed weight and circumfer
ence laid down by the league mag
mates, says the Boston Globe.
To every lover of the national
game the following facts will be
of interest:
Half a century ago the game of
"rOunders" gave a quick eye, a
well-develOped arm, a deep chest
and a feet foot to thousands of
Youngsters at ''recess."
If some Of the old "yarn balls"
made by mothers and grandmoth-
ers had been preserved they
would be priceless to-day as rel
les. Those balls were "swatted"
out of shape in the twinkling of
an eye.
Then a kid" cover was spwed
over the yarn ball. 1t was cut in
eighths of a circle, just as the
orange skin is divided. This was
promptly knocked off in the sec
ond inning, but it gave a third
inning for the yarn.
Harrison Harwood, of Natick,
was a lover of the game. He had
"swatted" yarn into the cometlike
streamers and had batted "kid"
covers half way across the dot"
In 1855 he designed a two-piece
cover. 1t was like what is now
called a "toggle" joint. In other
words, there we're two hemi-
spheres of leather, connected by
a narrow isthmus, into which two
other hemispheres fitted snugly.
