Bat Ball Into Three States.

Probably no other part Of the Unit
ed States except In East Liverpool,
Ohio, Is there baseball diamond
from which it is possible to bat a ball
into any one OF three states. Such a
condition actually exists at the
grounds which have just been leased
for the Klondike club there.
The diamond is laid out on a lot
which is known as the "state line cor
ner." II batsman makes a hit over
third base the ball will be sent into
West Virginia. Should foul tip re-
suit the catcher would have to chase
the bali in Pennsylvania. If a straight
drive or bunt is made the BAH will
bowl into the state OF Ohio.
Taking advantage Of this freak Of
nature. the klondike club Is going to
advertise the fact that its club viii

The Game Of snans.


When we were children we used to
find great fun in playing snap"
We made the cards for the game our
selves, by cutting them from paste
board or cardboard.
The cards were ~ inches by 81
inches, and we're. colored on one side
in red and blue. We colored them
with our water colors.
There were thirty-twocards in all,
sixteen in red and sixteen in blue. On
one side Of each, the side that was not
colored, we placed large figure, cor
responding in color to that used on the
back Of the card.
AS there were sixteen cards, the fig
ures were /, 2, 8, up to is. The red
cards then bore figures corresponding
exactly to the blue ones; that is, there
was an 5 among the red cards, and an
5 among the blue cards.
This was the game: One person took
all Of the blue cards, and another took
all Of the, red. The cards were then
shuffied, care being taken not to let
any one see what card came out on
top.
Now, with the hand carefully con-
cealing the number of the card to be
laid, at exactly the same instant each
player places card on the table, with
the number up.
II one should lay a and the other
4. or any numbers that do not CORE
spond, each player again deposits a
card.
But il two corresponding cards are
laid, two rs, for instance, the player
who notices this first must cry out
'snapi" and he who first cries snap"
takes all Of the cards that have been
played.
The game continues until all cards
are on the table, the winner being the
one who has the greatest number Of
cards at the end of the game.
This game is very interesting, as It
Is necessary for both players to be
very alert Each is anxious, Of course,
10 be the first to see and to call out

have been laid.

This is the most popular sport
among the 10000 members OF the Ojib-
wa tribe of Indians. Entire villages
engage in it, each side choosing a
leader.
Each player Is armed with long
stick, on the end Of which is a small
hoop. four inches in circumference. To
this Is attached a net Of rawhide Just
large enough to hold the ball. AT the
distance Of 400 PAGES from each other
two poles are driven into the ground
for goals The object Of each side is to
get the ball into the net at the end Of
the playing stick, and to strike the
opposite goal with 1t. The player who
succeeds wins the game for his side.
AS the players on one side try to
block the way to the goal for oppo-
nents and TO keep the ball away from
them. the result is lively scrimmage.
The two sides being lined up. the bail
is thrown between them at the begin
ming Of the game, and is kept In lively
movement until the contest ends.
On the outskirts Of the struggling
players are stationed skirmish-
ers to run with the ball to the
goal. These skirmishers are chosen
for their f1eetness OF foot. Now and
then the ball will fly out from the
struggling group, and catching it in
the little basket at the end OF his play
Ing stick, an outflelder will speed with
1t for the goal pursued by the rest OF
the players. The opposite side tries to
catch him before he can touch the
goal, while those on his own side in
terfere with this pursuit. He Is en-
couraged by cries of Ha-ha-yah!" and
"a-ne-gook!" All join In the shouts,
even the pappooses.
Now and then a player will strike
the ball and send it in the air. As 1t
comes down another player sends 1t up
again. Sometimes for 10 minutes it
Will not touch the ground. Then both
players and spectators reach the Wild
est pitch Of enthusiasm.

are grouped, armed with bats to ward
off the balls.
Every ball driven back from the
hive counts point for the chasers. A,

even after 1t has been touched by a
chaser, Is good and counts for the hor-
nets.

Explanation Of Scientists for the pf-
ferlng Density.


Is the middle Of the earth made OF
metal? Experiments on the grayita-
tional attraction between small mass
es give US the means Of determining
the average density of the earth. and
1t has always been considered remark
able that the density thus found, five
and half times that Of water, Is far
higher than the mean density Of the
rocks which constitute those parts Of
the earth accessible to us. These lat
ter have not moro than two and half
or three times the density of water.
II does not seem probable that any
pressure in the interior however
great, could explain SO great differ
ence. 1t must be assumed that the
interior is made Of totally different
material from the outside. The great
density Of the earth suggests that in
all probability its core is Of metallic
nature. 1t is significant that the me-
teorite, the only planetary bodies Of
which we can examine the interior,
are composed for the most part of
nickel iron. The inference becomes
almost irresistible that the iron bear
ing rocks are samples Of the deep In
terror. which by rare and exception
al chance have been extruded to the
surface by volcanic agency.
