"Hi Bobby" she said In her jolly III

Bob had to smile. "Well, kidlet,
what do you want to do most of all? Go

MYSTERY OF THE DEEP SEA.

swedish Scientists Investigate the
Phenomena Of ssDead Water"
One Of the most curious marine phe-
nomena known to seamen Is that call
ed by Norwegian sailors, dead water =
which, without any visible cause, makes
a vessel lose her speed and refuse to
answer her helm. The sailors only
definite knowledge Of Its origin, says
the Scotsman, Is that it exists solely
where there Is a surface layer Of fresh
water resting upon the salt waters Of
the sea. Several explanations have
been advanced by the captains Of ships
OF the effect Of dead water, the COM
monest Of which Il that the two water
layers move In different directions. The
true explanation, however, was recent
" found by Swedish investigators. At
least 80 It would seem from what fol-
lows.
The experiment carried ont was an
exceedingly pretty one. A large plate
glass tank was nrst mounted on
wooden frame. Tho tank was then fll-
ed TO . certain depth with salt water
and 4 layer Of fresh water was care
fully poured on to the surface, - that
two separate water layers were OBJ
tai6ed. The salt water was b1ackened
With liquid Chinese ink before the va
ter layers were prepared, and ii this

everyday household necessities Tea, Coffee,
Chocolate, Baking Powder Spices, Extracts,
Laundry and Toilet Soaps, Baked Beans,
Ketchup, etc.-that would cost you $1,000 at any
store.
Here's what we will do:
We will sell you bill of goods of equal quail
ity-$10, 90 worth-and then we will let you select
from great Merchandise Catalogue, contain
ing almost everything heart could wish in the way
of household furniture, wearing apparel, musical
instruments, etc., $1,000 worth of goods - your
own selection-in addition.

ALEXANDER SMITH
IS GOLF CHAMPION
Nassau Country Club Member Makes
Lowest Score in Tournament
at Chicago.

Chicago, June 23.-Alexander Smith
of the Nassau Country club, New York,
is once more the western open golf
champion. Yesterday at the Home
wood Country club he completed the
" holes of championship competition,
lasting two days, in 306 holes, making
the lowest score in field comprising
the best golfers in America.
Jack Hobens of the Englewood Golf
club, New Jersey, who led on the open
ing day, finished second with score
of 500, fasteners thus capturing first
and second places.
Smith repeated his success of 1903
when at Milwaukee he won the event
over course that had as much water
as land in sight. The following year
he was runner up to Willie Anderson
at Grand Rapids. His success makes
him a strong probability for the ma
tionai event at Onwentsia next week
In this he has never been successful
his nearest approach being in 1901
when he tied with Willie Anderson at
Myopia and lost the playoff.

Dubuque at Decatur.
Bloomington at Cedar Rapids.

Peoria, June 23.-Although a long
game was played by the Islanders and
the Distillers yesterday, it was a rag
ged one and was won and lost several
times by both sides. Dickinson, the
Chicago university pitcher. who was
given his first trial at professional ball,
was batted out in the ninth by the Is
landers, but the appearance of Chief
Eastman did not stop the swatting
The biggest week day crowd of the
season assembled to see McConnells
boys battle with the Distillers, and
saw them break the winning streak of
third place.
Kept Hits Scattered.
Wilson pitched steady ball and kept
the dozen bingles pretty well scatter
ed, barring the eighth inning, when a
pair of triples and single looked like
disaster for Rock Island. The Island
ers made the first score, Swain getting
on in the first inning with a single,
and being brought around by a sacri-
flee and hit by Vandine
No scores were then made until the
fourth when Buelow was safe on a
high throw by Cook. Hughes singled
and Dick Egan put hard hit ball out
to Hank Walters. which was booted
over to Carlisle, who fielded it, but two
men came in. The Islanders followed
tying it up again. Wilson hitting for
two bases and Swain and Carlisle
bringing him around
Take Another Lead.
The Distillers Immediately took an
other lead, a single to Simon, pass
to Thiery and a hit by Graham doing
the work
In the eighth Buelow apparently
broke up the game with triple with
nobody out. Hughes duplicated it and
Egan brought in the second run with
a single. making score of 5 to 8 in
favor of the Distillers.
