Paul, was in the game, and showed up
fairly well. He was nervous and
dropped two chances, but recovered in
time. and got his man in each case.
He tried a bunt in the eighth inning,
and showed surprising speed on the
base lines.
Fargo started after Cummings in
the first inning, and the heavy hitters
at the top of the list fattened up their
averages in great shape. Fitzgerald
led with a single and was advanced to
second on neat sacrifice by Grogan.
Rose got a clean hit and both runners
scored on Dolan's long two-bagger.
Cummings held the visitors safe I'M
til the fifth, when with Fitzgerald
down, Barto dropped a hard chance
from Grogan's bat. Rose followed
with a hit and once more Dolan
brought both runners home with a
two-bagger
Two more useless runs were added
by Fargo in the ninth, when with two
men down, Rose got another hit. Do
Ian kept up his batting festival, and
cracked one at Mccormick, which the
right fielder let go to the fence, and
Dolan took an extra base, Rose scor-
ing. Mehl followed with another hit,
scoring Dolan, and was caught mo-
ment later trying to steal second.
Duluth played a Iistless game, and
seemed to be without life or energy.
Four bad errors in the field were made
during the game, and they were to-
tally unable to connect with Finne-
gan's curves.

LOST ARTS OF THE ANCIENTs.
Many Abandoned Because New
knowledge Makes Them Useless.

knowledge Makes Them Useless.
Not as much as we used to, but
occasionally even yet, one hears Of
some wonder accomplished by the
ancients which cannot be done now.
Not so many years ago it was quite
commonly asserted that modern
workmen could not quarry or, hav-
ing quarried, could not handle
stones as large as the monoliths of
Egypt, and the writer has heard a
public speaker OF note assert that 1t
would be impossible to handle with
modern implements such large
stones as were used in the pyramids,
or to join them as perfectly as they
are Joined there; yet,Awhen occasion
arose, larger stones than any Of
these were quarried in Maine, and
some of the larger monoliths them
selves were transported, not only to
the sea, but across it, and erected In
England, France and America, and
there are individuals to-day who
might, IL they chose, cause the
transportation to and erection in this
country of the largest pyramids, or
build new ones ten times larger and
more durable. Pyramids are not
being generally built, nowadays, be-
cause they are not in line with the
trend of modern ambition; that's all.
1t is very doubtful If Damascus
blade" would stand half as severe
usage as a modern band saw blade,
or even as much as the spring of a
forty cent clock; while the orna-
mentation of those wondrous blades,
so far as the mechanical execution is
concerned, can be excelled by ap-
prentices and amateurs of to-day.
