The electrolytic recovery Of gold
from sea water is still dream of
many European chemists. A. Modem
proposes TO use as electrodes sheets of
copper and lead or lead and cast iron,
each about one-twenty- of an inch
In thickness, and to surround these
plates with porous canvas bags for col
lecting the gold that fails to adhere
The baths, within reach of the tide,
would have depth of two meters and
width of ten meters (about thirty
three feet). With cement partitions
every forty femets, battery of 1G0
such, baths could be run together, and
1t is calculated that this would furnish
100 grams of gold per day of twelve
hours. In this time, 5000 cubic meters
of water would be treated, current
of 5000 ampers at 2.5 volts being re-
quired. The annual cost is estimated
at $4,000, and the profits are figured
at $4,000 on capital of $4,000.

The Call of the Dime Novel.

Between the writer ana his constitu-
ents there was n bond OF affection
which melted him TO make them glad
TO be alive. In the mind of every
healthy boy there is romance. For
that boys entertainment the producer
OF dime fiction strewed romance
through farm, mining camp and city
street. Out of his surroundings. how
ever sordid, the boy was lifted. He
became to himself the center of the
universe. At the particular spot on the
globe on which he stood all the paral-
lels and the meridians converged. In
no more intense degree than this did
exaltation ever come TO the Count OF
Monte Cristo-the world was his.

off the second game of the series
this afternoon. Conner being in the

Sunday afternoon Richmond will
meet the rejuvenated Kokomo team,

which means that if Kokomo wins
out her victory will be an earned one.
Mr.. Hicks the human toothpick and
late first Dagger of the deceased Lee

Friday in the role of Jumps. Hicks
umpired a nice game and neither
team kicked against his decisions.
The sim and lengthy lad created a
mild sensation by actually casting a
shadow while standing back of the
pitchers box.
Pierce, center fielder of the Decatur
team, made the fatal mistake of in
volving himself in tete-a-tete with
the third base bleachers. The sun
gods plucked their exasperated vic
tim with fiendish glee. Some day Mr..
Pierce will learn that an oratorical
combat with bleacherites results the
same as an argument with a woman
you always get the hot end of the de-
cision.
Strawberry Jelly Burns, demon left
fielder of the Decatur team, failed to
display his Wanted smuggling powers
Friday. T. Fisher attached the XII
bosh sign on Mr. Burns from the very
start, the big fellow dying on pop
flys or easy infield outs.
Rfdgely, for the first time since
joining the locals, played up to his
touted form. At the bat he made a
two-bagger, laid down a perfect sacri-
flee and flew out on a long drive to
left field In the field he accepted
five chances without wobbie. May
be this lad will round to all right.
Weaver played nice game Friday.
He sprinted in on three balls lifted
just back of the infield and assimi-
lated all three of them Stokes also
got his usual hit and by good base
running made the only Quaker tally.
Manager Jessup certainly picked up a
jewel in this New Castle native.

who knew that not - per cent OF the
population are able TO reckon the time
of day. AS the sun crosses the merid-
ian at seventeen minutes past IL a
flag is run up on the tower of the prin-
cipal mosque, and Immediately other
flags appear upon the towers OF the
other mosques throughout the city.
This is noon. At half past / another
flag is run up. and at sunset the even
ing gun is fred. This is the extent OF
the Moorish idea of time. Only a few
of the better class have books or can
read or write. The mails are carried
by runners who go from Tangier to

coarse wheaton bread. which, together
with an occasional drink of buttermilk,

Has Come to Life.
is NOW I'M THE FAR WEST.
GATES HAS A GOOD RECORD AND
1T is BELIEVED HE WILL SHOW
UP WELL IN THE AMERICAN
LEAGUE.

Dublin. Ind, Aug. 10-Eli Gates,
once renowned in this part of the
country as a pitching phenom, and
who was thought by nearly every body
to be out of the business, unless those
who were personally acquainted with
him be excepted, has come to life
again and has been signed by Manager
Cantillon to pitch next season for the
Washington American league team.
According to Cantillion Gates is looked
upon as a genuine diamond in the
rough. for he is touted as a great find.
Gates, as near as the natives are
able to point out, pitched ball around
here somewhere back in the year 'S5.
He used to play on the old East Ger
mantown field about the time when
Goar was achieving his fame and when
such players as Shorty" Jessup, Har-
ry Hebble (who was once given trial
with the Philadelphia Nationals)
Mitchell (colored), Lichtenfels, Buck"
and "Jocko" Weaver, of New Lisbon.
Emmett briggs of Cambridge CITY,
Meredith. now catching for the Quak-
ers and others were cavorting on the
Wayne county ball fields.
Gates home is at Greensboro. HIS
first professional engagement was
probably with Connersville, where he
made a very exceptional record. Al
ter that he went into the Southern
league, probably playing with Helena,
Ark. The next heard of him he was
playing with Leavenworth. Kan, in
the Western Association. This was in
fin1din0
that year was 1926, batting average
.237, winning IS and losing Is games.
From Leavenworth he went to the
Oakland, Cal, team in the Pacific
Coast league. Here his batting aver
age was .18S in 100 games. He stood
third in fielding his position with
.96S. His record with Leavenworth
in the pitchers box was II won and II
lost Owing to the fact that the rec
ords of the Pacific league were des-
troyed in the San Francisco earth
quake and conflagration, the ball
guides of this year do not show the
averages. But his record in the box
is said to be first class and so it
must have been for Cantillou to have
picked him up for his Washington
team.
Gates comes from the same league
from which the following list of play
ers were obtained: Kane, Kruger, Nc
Lean, Hall, Hit, VOTERS and Essick,
all of the Cincinnati Reds, Blanken-
ship of Washington and Vickers of
the Athletics. Van Haltren, at one
time one of the most famous ball
players in the country and a star on
the New York team ten years ago,
is a team mate of Gates
Gates is well known throughout
Eastern Indiana. The mere mention
of his name among base ball cranks
here recalls the time when Gates was
looked upon with awe by the ''rubes,''
and owing to his terrific speed he was
known among every body as Gates
the cyclone pitcher.
His father at this time is in Cali
