National League Pennant Will

Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburg Pi-

tors TO the 3-to-1 victory Of the Chicago
White Sox over the Detroit Tigers.
present champions of the American
League.
The games were most important. and
it was the capacity OF the grounds
alone that limited the size of the
crowds. As a result Of these games
the Pittsburg Club is eliminated as a
pennant- winning possibility in the Ma
tional League. while the White Sox
are once more in the position of a
possible winner in the american
League
II hardly seems credible that a cham
pionship baseball race could narrow
down to such proportions that there
would be a possible tie for first place.
and yet that is the condition presented
in the National League today Chi
cago's victory over Pittsburg yester-
day in the closing game for both clubs

The ESebail and Vision.

DR.. Alexander Schaefer has been
investigating the vision of many an
imal species and has found that the
size of tie ;eyeball is the principal
factor o thelhcuteness OF vision. The
bovine species has the sharpest sight.
The second place Is occupied by man
and the horse. which have nearly
equal visual powers; the third by the
sheep. Small, ana especially small
eyed animals. whether mammals,
birds amphibia or reptiles, have
very poor sight. Owls and birds are
the only birds that possess great
acu,eness of vision. 1t has long been
known that dogs have such indistinet
vision that as rule /. dog is not able
TO recognize his master by sight
alone.

The Wrong Prescription.

A well known physician was telling
a friend of the humorous phases of
the practice Ct medicine when he was
reminded of the sad case of patient
who came to him suffering from hay
fever.
"cNow, 1t is i" fact. said the physi-
clan, that in hay fever there is no
absolutely infallible treatment Send
Ing one person to certain climate
may result in a cure which would not

Don't Turn Your Head.

How many people turn their heads

rob the eyes of the exercise to which
they are entitled.
The power of vision is such that
when we look straight in front Of us
we can see in almost every direction
except right behind us.
Sight is beyond question our most
valuable sense. We could get along

CAUGHT Bird Win Elshhonk.

William Goodwin, a member of the
crew of the fishing schooner Mystery,
which has just returned from the
Georges, is the leader in new kind OF
fisheries In which the bait is a piece
of pork and the victim is bird,
Goodwin modestly disclaims all the
title to the original idea, and says
that when he went out to handle his
travis he had no idea of making his
strange catch.
The prize which he drew in was a
fine specimen Of gannet which had
taken fancy 10 the cold porl: which
baited that particular hook
When the novelty of the situation
had worn off, Goodwin decided to keep
his captive, and took it back to the
schooner. SINCE then. whenever the
fishermen haze gone too close to the
bird, they have missed pieces of their
oilskin trousers.
The gannet has a sharp and power
full bill, nearly three inches long, and
he also has vicious temper Since
his capture he has constantly remind
ed the crew of his presence by nip
ping them in the legs as they passed
him.
The bird is full grown specimen,
slightly larger than a duck, and sqme-
what resembling him In appearance,
except for the size of his bill The
one taken by the fisherman is finely
marked with fecks of white or dull
brown.-B Boston Transport.

An Animal Ccnsus.

According to an official of the
Smithsonian Institution at Washing
ton. the latest enumeration of the
animals known to science includes
no less than three hundred and nine
ty species. The real number is be-
lievei to be much larger.
1t has been estimated that of in
sects alone the earth harbors two
million species; but the late Pro-
fessor Riley. a recognized authority
on the subject. held even that esti-
mate as far too low. According to
his opinion. ten million would be a
moderate estimate of the number OF
Insect species. The number of iRdi-
viduals is, OF course. incaleulable.
