Now, will there be five pitchers, or four and a utility man?
 Smith states that he cannot see how he will dismiss ai single one of his pitchers. Zeller and Castleton are certain ties. Schopp is bound to stick, he says. Sparks is the most promising young twirler Smith has ever seen. Spade is an outfielder, third baseman, hitter and heady pitcher, and Rowan, out of Detroit, is con- sidered excellent. And he cannot spare Ford. So Smith Is in a sad plight, isn't he?

That question which is now troubling the fans of Atlanta is whether not Billy Smith is running up against q hoodoo. It begins to look a little that way, and for the hoodoo to approach the portals of the Gate City just at this time, when things all around look ex- ceedingly rosy, is, indeed, hard.
 However, Otto Jordan, second baseman, is out of the game on account of sprained ankle, and might not be able to participate within another three weeks.

Yesterday, 1t rained, and was cold. The diamond could not stand the strain, and leaked
 On account of these facts, the third game of the present Birmingham Atlanta series was called off, or rather post poned until another time.
 The players of both aggregations chafed at the dela,t The rest of the day before eoused then 10 be dissatisfied that inac- ton was again necessary Both teams were prerned. to play excellent ball. and it is prob; bic that some 'ginsery' feats would have been pulled off.
 It is unnecessary to state that had it not rained the Barons would have won the game.
 The Rain General.
 Rain, aa far as baseball is concerned, was general throughout the south yester- day. The New Orleans-Memphis game could not be played on account of del uge that caused the Mississippi to get a hump or itself. In Montgomery the men of Johhhy Dobbs and the Pretzels looked at each other angrily for each side has won a game, and the grand result is still
  one game was played and that was in Little Rock there being no victor after the end of eleven innings.
 The Game Today.
 The indications are that the weather will he good today. If these indications pan out. there will be a game at West End between the Crackers of Atlanta and the Barons of Birmingham.
 Ginger Clark will twirl for the Bar ons, while Spade or Ford < slated to work from the Atlanta slab. The Barons will have to win, for if Smith annexes this struggle. he will have mopped up with the entire series.
 It is readily seen why the Barons are so anxious to win. It would be hard if the Crackers, under the slag, too, walked away with both struggles, leaving the Barons hungry and threadbare.
 Barons Should Win.
 An even division is good enough for any team on the road. but tradition has 1t, and there has been no denial made, that in the winning of games, that Atlanta bunch is quite greedy, taking everyone that it can.
 There are other reasons why the Bar ons should win. It has been a long time, t is remembered since the eagle of vic- try sat upon the local arms. On the other hand, smith has had a string of victories, having lost but one game, the first of the Southern league season. For tunately. that defeat was administered by Birmingham, this accounting for the fact that Birmingham today is not on the very bottom.

Chinese authorities have decided
that all railroads built by Chinese shall
revert to the government twenty-five
years after they are opened.
For the first time in their history the
French railways have given German
locomotive makers an order. The loco
motives now ordered are of an uncom-
monty heavy type.
Bananas are being ripened In Eng
land by electricity. The punches are

and heat ripen the fruit and 1t can

Dr. Arthur D. Little, addressing the
American Chemical Society recently,
mentioned some interesting instances
Of the immense contributions of chem
istry to the work and wealth of the
world. The steel industry, he said, is
to-day, at every point, under the strict
est chemical control. Abram 8. Hew-
lit estimated that the Bessemer proc
ess alone added, directly and indirect
ly, $2,OOO,OO0oo0 yearly to the worlds
wealth. Chemical processes Of making
madden and indigo colors have changed
the face Of those industries. One-half
of the entire consumption Of indigo Is
now produced in German chemical
plants. Ultra-marine is now furnish
ed by chemistry at half the price Of
copper, whereas, in the form of lapis
lazuli, In the days of Liebig, 1t was
dearer than gold.
Ekeberg, the Swedish discoverer Of
tantalum, gave that name to the metal
because Of the tantalizing difficulties
that he encountered while investigat-
Ing It. 1t is only recently that tanta-
lum has been obtained in state of
purity, and the rapidly with which It
has been produced, in response to the
demands Of commerce and industry, Ia
almost unprecedented. 1t furnishes an
excellent filament for electric lamps.
Only a little while ago the mineral
from which tantalum Is obtained was
SO rare that not enough could be found
to supply specimens to all the miner
illogical museums. Now Australia
alone produces more than seventy tons
Of tantalite year. This does not seem
a very great quantity, but 1t is to be
remembered that a single pound Of
tantalum suffices to furnish 2S,00C
lamps, each Of 25-candle power. The
metal is no hard that 1t is said that 9
diamond-pointed borer, making 6,0O(

WORLDS LARGEST STACK.

Foundation for Wonderful Smoke
Conveyor Is Progressing.
Ten thousand tons of concrete Is
being used In the foundation for the
606-foot smokestack in course Of con-
structlon by the Boston and Montreal
Mining Company at Indian Point, just
across the river from Great Falls,
Mont, says the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer. When completed the stack will
diameter Of fifty feet inside at the top.
Under charge Of Chief Engineer
Scotch of the Boston and Montana
Company, in this city, the work Of
making the foundation has been start
ed, and the great concrete mixer is
pouring $50 tons of the mixed article
daily into the great hole which marks
the foundation of the big stack.
The building company agreed to have
the stack ready for turning back to the
smelter company Nov. / of this year,
but 1t Is not certain that the work will
be completed In the time originally
specified.
Although the foundation lies in sight
of the city, and within few minutes
Of the street car line, but few people
have seen the starter for the big stack,
or realize its proportions.
One of the necessities for the build
ing Of the big stack was the building
of railroad to the top Of the hill for
the bringing up Of supplies, which was
not completed until few weeks since.
The new road, with its branches, is
about four miles in length.
The stack will be the highest struct-
ure of similar kind in the world, ex-
cept the Eiffel tower in Paris and the
| Washington monument In the nations
capital, being but about forty-nine feet
, lower than the latter. In the scaffold-
ing necessary to building there will be
500 600 feet of lumber When complet-
ed 1t will be the eighth wonder Of the
world, and already Is attracting the
attention of scientific men throughout
the country.

One of the weather bureau experts
in Washington, Professor Alfred j.
Henry, has given black eye to the
widely prevalent belief that eyapora-
tion from the Saiton sea accounts for
the remarkably heavy rainfall In Ari-
zona during the greater part of the last
two years, says the New York Trib-
une. He calls attention to the fact that
the downpour really began about three
months before there was any serious
inundation Of southern California from
the Colorado and then says that the

sents volume of water twelve times
