Charles Comiskey's American league team of White sox, hailing from Chicago, will play Harry vaughan's Coal Barons under the shadow of Mount slag this afternoon. The game will be called at o'clock, and the umpire will be Joe Burke. who officiated in the two games with the Giants.
 The Windy City team comes from Montgomery, where it has been several days, and where game or two has been added to it's credit, the loosers being Tommy OBriens bunch of Southern league pennant chasers. While Comiskey is not with this section of his team, he has a couple of able assistants who are and everything will pass off smoothly at the park and in the city The two teams will probably lineup as follows:
 Birmingham. Position White Sox. Hafford ........third base. .Tannehill Murdock .........left field...,.... Holmes Vaughan ....... first base...... Callahan Matthews .........ca .catcher......... Sullivan Wagner or ......right field.......... Green Dessau.
 Hennessy .......center field......... Jones Moore .......second base........ Dunden Schiap .shortstop. Davis

Fitch Auto Speed.,

Clear the lracksl Flashing over
highway and byway at 125 miles pei
hour a new French steam car is eX
pected to go. A leading French auto
mobile engineer recently stated that
it is impossible fo~ a modern racing
automobile to exceed the speed of 100
miles per hour while its present
weight is maintained. NJ. Serfollet
consequently has decided to approach
this limit of speed Gs nearly as pos
sible during this year. He is, there
fore, constructing a steam car which
he is confident will be able to travel
at an average speed of 125 miles per
hour and to accomplish n kilometer
in Is seconds. The motor will develop
over 200-horse power, and the weight
of the engine. without the steam gen
orator or boiler, will be only $50 kilo-
grams, or $50 pounds.

THE PIPE ORGANS VOICE.
Produced by a Man Whose Sense OF
Sound Is Delicate and
Accurate.

Both the metal and wooden pipes OF
u pipe organ are made on the selfsame
principle Of the willow whistles that
every mar made when he was a boy,
and so, after all, a pipe organ, the
mightiest musical instrument yet in
vented, is but the evolution of that
primitive pipe of Pan, the willow whis-
tie.
The most interesting place in an or
gan factory is the voicing room. UP
to the time the pipes enter this room
they are as dumb as broomsticks. Here
the breath of life is breathed into
them and they are made to speak, each
in the voice intended by its maker.
Here the big fat pipes are taught to
thunder out Their diapason and those
scarce the diameter of a slate pencil
and one-half an inch long to utter theiI
sErill whistle. and others the thou
sands of varying tones between. And
not only must the pipes of n stop
speak correctly as individuals and
members of their own particular fam
lily, but they must be in accord with
all the hundreds of Others in whose
midst they are to live. To see that
they do this is the work of a man
whose ear is keen to the slightest va
ration and who must know why a
pipe does not speak as it should and
how to make it. One by one the pipes
are set upon the wind chest stand
ing here, with the bellows and all the
internal mechanism Of an organ prop
erly adjusted. and with a keyboard in
front of him the voicer tests each one.
by changing the size and shape of the
aperture through which the wind
rasses he governs the tone until 1t is
eaotly what ii should be. a task which
only a man with the incest sense OF
sound can accomplish.

TRADE SECRETS.
Two Possessed by Chinese and Assyr-
ians That Are Carefully
Guarded.

Trade secrets generally become pub
lie property in the course of a few gen
erations. but two trade secrets are as
much of a mystery to-day as they were
in olden times. Perhaps the most valu-
able and best preserved secret is the
knowledge possessed by Chinese work
men of the manner in which vermilion
is manufactured. The other. though
less useful. is no less valuable and con-
Germs the Assyrian method Of ~inlaying
tempered steel with gold and silver.
Apprentices taking either of these
branches are sworn by solemn oath
never to reveal the secret of their craft
and no apprentice is eve taken unless
he furnishes a large sum of money by
way of premium as we'll as a certificate
of good character. The only exception
to the premium rule is in the case of the
sons of workmen already possessed o.
the secret. In some families these Sc
crets have been transmitted through
30 and 40 generations.

CHARACTER IN CHEEKS.
Much Of Human Nature Can Be
Read in the Facial Outline,
Says a Reader"

Various faddists have instituted sys-
tcms for reading character from almost
every member of the human body, and
the latest is the young woman who
herself as a reader OF
cheeks"
The mature wonan with youthful,
round cheeks is not necessarily deeply
intellectual, but her cheeks are infallible
sign that she is never afflicted with
nerves or stinginess. On the other hand,
the long, narrow. thin cheeks mark the
pessimist who looks always on the dark
est side of life and hopes for the worst.
Full cheeks, when not accompanied by
excess of fat. denote long life, and il
the cheek be fuller in the lower part it is
additionally indicative of hospitality.
High cheek bones do not necessarily
indicate wickedness and ~avarice, al
though a high cheek bone indicates a
cautious disposition, which frequently
accompanies the avaricious disposition.
Cheek reading promises to become a
fad, although to her intimates the cheek
reader admits that her decisions are in
fluenced by a general study of the face
rather than by the cheek exclusively.
