A suggestion has been made To the
national commissio with regard 10 the
umpiring of the worlds series which
should receive careful attention. This
is that four umpires. two from each
league, be selected to conduct the
games.
Al first sight this may seem unrea-
sonable-but conditions under which
I iifiis -t-fies-wttiti -bc-riayea are unusual
With the tx crowds that are sure TO
- t,=twn=uuIpi rnS-haxe- more than
enough TO do TO run the games prop
erly.
II is proposed 10 have a chief UNI
pire an assistant for base decisions
and Two patrol umpires 10 remain out
In the field ad decide questions COM
ing up in regard TO balls hit long dis.

There is always a wall OF standing
spectators back OF the outfielders In
the big games and disputes are liable
10 arise as TO interference with plays.
as TO balls hit to the crowd and in
regard TO low flies which may be
either caught or trapped on a short
bound.
Any one OF these things might turn
the tide OF victory in series.
IL is intended that the ump'res al
ternate in the positions. The com
mission will take the matter up when
the time comes for making arrange
ments for the bill match.

FUTURE SEA BATTLES.
Advantages of the Big Ships and the
Heavy Guns.

OF the character of future battles
between war fleets the Scientific
American says: THE running fight
which followed the sortie of the Rus
sian fleet at Port Arthur and the de-
cisive battle of Tsushima strait crys-
talliZed into fact many theories of the
design and settled probably for many
years to come the vexed questions of
the size of ship, the type of gun and
the best formation in which to fight
naval action. The battleship of the
future will be of great size. Displace-
ment will be not less than 10000 tons,
and this will increase so rapidly that
a 10000 ton ship will probably be
afioat before the close of the next de-
cade. The main armament will con.
sist exclusively of heavy guns of not
less than twelve inches caliber, and
unless the difficulty of erosion cannot
be overcome the twelve inch will give
place to thirteen inch and possibly to
fourteen inch piece.
Future engagements will be fought
at an extreme range. the extent of
which will be limited only by the abil-
ity of the fire control officer to see the
fall of the shots. The determination
of the range at which an engagement
shall be fought will lie with the fleet
which possess the greatest speed. 1t
is today the almost unanimous opinion
of naval officers that one big ship is
more effective than TWO smaller ships
of half her siZe Future engagements
will be fought with the two fleets
steaming in parallel lines in what is
known as line ahead rormation-that
is, with each ship of a fleet steaming
IN 10 En nf 10 oh wi
interval of about 500 yards between
them.
"If of two such fleets one were made
up of four 20,000-ton battleships, each
carrying eight twelve-inch guns, the
whole line would be about 2,100 yards
in length, and if the other fleet con-
sisted of eight 10,000-ton ships, each
mounting four twelve-inch guns, the
line would be $500 yards in length. or
over three miles. The fleet of larger
ships would probably have sufficient
advantage in speed for the admiral to
maintain his four vessels abreast of
the first four of the enemy's ships,
and in this case an eight gun ship
would be opposed to a four gun ship,
with the inevitable result that the four
ships would be silenced.
'The fleet of larger vessels would
then slacken speed and drop back,
taking the ships of the enemy in turn
and smothering them with superior
gun fire. At the opening of such an
engagement the fifth and sixth in line
of the four gun ships would be able
to direct Il diagonal fire upon the last
of the eight gun ships, but the range
would be so great that ii could not
prove to be very effectual.
"Unquestionably the victory in fu-
ture engagements will lie with the
fleet which is able to concentrate the
largest number of heavy guns within
the shortest line of battle; hence the
reason d'etre of the bfg ship and hence
the certainty that the navies of the
world have been forced into a contest
of size, the end of which no one can
foretell."

THE CHANGE in NEW YORK
Trinity's Spire Now and When 1t Was
Considered Tall.

when l was younger" said a mid
die aged man, 81 came down to New
York. l got some idea of the size of
the city by riding in the horse cars.
By the way, it is one of the few cities
in the world where you can still ride
in horse cars.
Il visited most of the show places
and went to all the theatres. l went
to Brooklyn by ferry. l devoted day
going to Harlem by the Sylvan Glen
or Sylvan Stream or Sylvan something
on the East River.
But the thing that impressed me
most was the view from the steeple
of Trinity church.
Away up there, where the lookout
holes were, l could look down on the
lower part of the city, could see the
river on either side, the upper bay and
the Brooklyn and New Jersey Shores.
AT that great height I discovered
that others had been there before me,
for on the timbers were cut the names
or initials of my predecessors. l had
a distinctive way of cutting my initials
in monogram, and this monogram Or
namented the smooth trunks of vari-
Gus birch trees in the woods of my ma
tive region.
This l cut on a vacant space high
up in the steeple of Trinity and then
looked at it and thought that daring
spirits of remote future generations
would climb to the same height and
perhaps see it among the other ini-
tials.
Il have never been up in the steeple
of Trinity church since that memora-
able ascent. But the other day l was
walking past the church, and I saw
typewriter girls looking out on the
apex of Trinity spire from windows
that seemed to be several hundred feet
above it.
Il then thought of the monogram
had carved on the inside of the spire
and noted the location of the little
lookout windows from which l had
seen such wonderous panorama
forty years ago.
81 had no inclination to make the
interior ascent of the spire, but from
my position on the Broadway side
walk l should say that If l had gone
and and looked out of the same little
windows could have seen at the farth-
est about sixty feet except in one direc.
ton before the view was shut off BY
walls of steel and stone.
Perhaps adventurous climbers will
no more carve their initials up amons
the timbers of Trinity's steeple. L
would involve less exertion to GU
them on some beam In the cellar, from
which position the view would be al
most as extensive, and then to take al
express elevator and see how the ape1
of Trinity's spire looks from a poin
a few hundred feet above it."-Nev

Pharaoh's Bad Temper.


A German savant has just discover
ed why Pharaoh hardened his heart
and gave the children of Israel such
a bad time. 1t is really no wonder
that the hapless monarch was bad
tempered, according 10 this investiga-
tor, for his mummy shows that he
must have suffered from gout, a dis
ease which has never been known to
produce sweetness of disposition, and
that he must also have been martyr
to toothache,a all his teeth being in a
shocking state of decay. If only
among the children of Israel there
could have been found some skilled
worker in gold who could have fill
ed these royal teeth, they might have
been allowed to depart in peace. The
mummy also shows that this ancient
ruler, who died 1,200 years before the
Christian era, was stout and bald

Should Live to 100 or 1oO Years.

Is there a natural law which gov
erns longevity in man or animal {?
There is scientific law, which regu-
lates and governs the normal round
of human life. The law was discov-
cred by Button, demonstrated by Vi
chat and made an exact science by
Flourans. While the law has been
frequently assailed it has never been
overthrown, nor disturbed in its
force. Animals increase in the di-
rection of growth, bulk and virility:
the duration Of the time of growth de-
termines the duration of life.
The law may be briefly stated thus:
An animal grows as long as the bones
are not united in their epiphysis. The
duration of life is five times that of
this growth. In man this growth
ends at twenty; the bones are then
united with their epiphysis, and the
normal duration of life wuold be five
times this, or one hundred. The
growth of the camel ends at eight; ac-
cording to the duration of life it
should be forty. The growth of the
horse ends at five, and his round of
life should be twenty-five. The epi-
physis of the bones of the OK ends at
NOoA LILO AOuhQ Ol l1lC SuOulu U6
twenty. The lion, singularly enough,
has the same duration of growth, and
the same normal life as the OK. The
dog reaches the end of growth at two
and the round of life is ten; so that
it is seen that the human life unless
cut short by accident or disease, ends
its round at from ninety to one hund-
red years; and that, whether a man
be negro, Chinese, a European, an
American, or whether he be savage
or civilized; whether he be a dwell
er OF the city or in the country that the
veritable round does not depend upon
race, climate, food, or other conditions.
Mr.. Flourans, who is perhaps the high
est authority and who has studied 1t
more in scientific details, Is of the
opinion that every man has the power
to fill this round, If he does not vio-
late the natural law"
Vichat makes the round Of life six
times that of growth, instead of five
times, which would make the round
of life In man one hundred and
twenty years. Other writer's are OF
the opinion that the round should be
extended to one hundred and fifty
years, notably DR.. Compton, who 60
