Scorpions are relics of prehistoric
times. They have been in existence
since the middle siiurian era, and
through all the changes In environment
!n the millions Of years which have
elapsed they have remained practically
the same In structural character. In
habit. There Is little, II any. evidence
that these animals In the past days Of
their history have ever gained liveli-
hood by means other than those en-
ployed at the present day. But. though
abundance Of time has been granted
them to become specialized into any
number Of strange forms, they have
retained a wonderful resemblance to
the original genera. Although the arms
of the sea constitute barriers which
scorpions cannot pass and although
their means OF dispersal are very lim-
tied, the antiquity Of the animal Is 80
great that Ii has succeeded In distrbut
ing itself over the greater part Of the
globe, outside OF the arctic areas. and
before the present period their distri-
button was even greater.

The Broken Wire.

Have you never wondered how
when a wire IS broken or damaged be-
tween two distant cities the operator,
sitting in his office. can tell exactly
where tie accident has occurred?
The explanation Is very simple. It
requires force 10 send electricity
through a wire. The longer the wire
is the greater is the force required. This
force is measured, hut instead Of call
lng il pounds, as in measuring the
pressure in II boiler electricians call
the units of electrical force "ohms."
Suppose q wire between two offices
Is $50 miles long and that on Il stormy
night it gets broken somewhere. The
telegraphlst knows that when the wire
was sound IL took just q 100 ohms 10
send q current through, or IA Ohms
per mile He now finds that he can
send q current with only 100 Ohms.
He divides 700 by II. and finds that
the break in the wire Is fifty miles
from his end.

DOPE.

The race for the pennant in the
Cctton States league on June 10 of
this year is almost identical with that
CT the year before. This time it is
George Reed and his Greenville team
that SENS to have the commanding
lead in the race. while last season it
was Billy Earle and his Vicksburg
players who were at the top. In both
instances Pine Bluff is the second
team and fighting hard against the
leaders fer the top notch. The fans
all remember the gallant fight Of last
year when the Pine Bluff team grad
ually overcame the lead of the Globe
Trotters and finally won out. 1t is
this fact alone that has kept up the
ginger and the interest in the game
among the other teams in the league:
for it locked for q time as though
Greenville would never be headed
this year. But if the same conditions
prevail this year as during last seasor

Fridays Came.

In one of the heaviest slugging
mond Pine Bluff won the second
game from Natchez Friday afternoon
by a score of II to 10. The game
abounded in good plays. bad plays, in
different plays and in fact about ev-
cry kind of baseball known to the pro-
fess.on. Twice did the visitors as
sumo what was thought to be cem-
manding lead and twice did the locals
pull out of the hole by heavy stick
work and good base running. 1t
finally developed that a Natchez play
er of the name Of Relf, recent grad
uate from the Delta league. had to
hand Pine Bluff the game on waiter
Relf threw the ball into the right
field bleaehers with two men on bases
and a little pickaninny picked it up
and ran away with it. While the boy
was running in one direction with the
hall, Frost, Berry and Dunbar were
making the circuit of the bases for
the necessary three runs with which
to win the game
Laird was batted hard in the fourth
and eighth innings. for in each OF
these innings Natchez scored four
runs. Dunbar relieved Laird in the
eighth and stopped the run getting

Saturdays Game.

Natchez saved the best for the last
in their first appearance on the local
hall field and made the Midgets go
eleven innings before they could claim
Saturday's game as their own. 1t was
an exhibition of ball playing rarely
seen on the local diamond, for bo'h
teams played in big league style Tor
two hours. Geddes was pitted against
Kriger and in the stocky little twlrler
fCund a foeman worthy of his stee!
Geddes proved himself the master
however. and won the whole eleven
innings in big league form. The
voungster pitched the best game he
ever pitched in his life and that's
saving a good deal. He struck out
eleven of his opponents and when
ene thinks of the way NatcheZ batted
in the first two games here, this is no
mean performance. But Geddes did
more than that. He was steady with
men on bases and he did not send any
Of them down himself. Not pass did
he issue and yet fcrty-one men STEP
ped up to the plate and took on an
average of four balls each. The young.
ster had control to burn.
To Jay Kanzler belongs the honor
ct winning the game, although all OF
the men deserve credit, for all work
ed hard to win. But it was Jay who
knocked the ball to the ditch across
the race track in right field and sent
in a run ahead of his. This hit land
ed almost in the exact spot picked Cut
by Gettinger in the game of Friday.
OF course it was a much nicer hit
than Gettinger's, for a home man
made it. The crowd left Kanzler a lit
tie something to remember them by.
