TWO TRADE SECRETS.
One Is JeaIouSly Guarded In China
the Other In Turkey.

One Is JenIously Guarded In China,
the other In Turkey.
There are two trade Secrets said
an artist. that the outside world, it
seems, will never learn. One is Chi
nese secret-the making Of the bright
and beautiful color called vermilion or
Chinese red. The other is Turkish Sc
cret-the inlaying of the hardest steel
with gold and silver.
among the Chinese and among the
Syrians these two secrets are guarded
well. Apprentices, before they are tax
oil for either trade. must swear n
st'ong oath to reveal nothing Of what
passes in the workshop. These appren-
tees. Furthermore, must belong to fam
lilies Of standing, must pay large sum
by way of premium and must furnish
certificates Of COOL character and hon
cSty.
You have seen damaScened steel, of
course. and you have seen vermilion
or Chinese red. Remember the next
time You look at these two things that
their secrets have been guarded invio-
lably and have been handed down
faithfully from one generation to an
other for thousands of years.-Chicago

comments the London Chronicle. who
had to take to glasses long before he
was out Of Office, was strongly of this
opinion, though, from motives Of pa
triotism, he would not hear Of the abo-
lition of the gothic type and invariably
refused the gift of any book printed
In roman characters. But the anti
gothic party is now gaining ground,

Pinch Ball FaIkenberG's Invention.

Pinch Ball FaIkenberg's Invention.
Tie latest puzzler from the slab IS
the l.inch ball. 1t has been invented
By Fred Falkenberg, the giant tw!rler
who was tried by Pittsburg couple
of seasons ago, now with Montreal.
Falkenberg says: Il have developed
new ball that may amount to some
thing. l call it Il curve spit ball, al
though don't moisten the fingers. 1t
is essentially u thumb ball, as the fin
gers do not touch the sphere. l throw
it overland and it has a pretty out
curve right at the plate. It's not
speedy, and the beauty Of it Is that it
is much easier to control than the spit
ball. It's a pinch ball, and l will use

Mccormick Case Explained.

President Ebbets of the Brooklyns
takes exception to the recent story
from Washington to the effect that the
contract offered to Dude" McCor-
mick called for a reduction Of salary
from 81 800 to 500. Mccormick was
paid $500 last season and not only,
failed to earn it, but was one Of the
worst offenders against discipline
among the players" said Mr.. Ebbets.
I'VE offered him a salary Of 81 900 be
cause we believed that he was not
worth any more. As to the statement
that the present regime in the club
is not as liberal as that Of the past,
/ want to say that such a statement is
unfair to US. The reduction Of $500 in
McCormick's salary was made before
the change in the management took
place. We shall be as liberal as any
body else in the game provided other
things are equal"

same rates. 1t is then simply a
question Of which is the best COM
