would have the REINFORCED concrete to

separate steel plates, with numerous
joints; but these are all dovetailed to-
gether and held In such way as to
make their separation impossible from
the outside, and the fitting is SO finely
done that the joints are impervious to

A bit of a tempest has been stirred
up over the Jimmy Casey deal. Presi-
dent Ebbets said that the Toronto
club took an unfair method Of starting
negotiations by approaching Casey
first, and. BY offering him a better sal
ary than he was getting here. making
him dissatisfied with his berth here
and DESTROYS TO go to the Canucks.
When Ebbets was finally approached
he says he had nobody to take Casey s
place. and therefore asked $4,000 and
mckinley. not $4,000, as the Canadians
claim. for the little captain. At the
time Pittsburg wanted Mcintyre for
sheehan. but Ebbets refused to weak
en- his pitching stan. When Sheehan
was purchased Ebbets could AFFORD to
get along without Casey, and reduced
his demand to $500 and Mckinley.
It was then found that Mckinley was
considered a good pitcher. so the
money consideration was reduced to
81 900 and Mckinley. with the proviso
that the latter remain With Toronto
another year Here the matter stands.
but Ebbets Is a bit displeased over t!sa
attempt to make Casey dissatisfied
and says It was underhand tactics
such as baseball should not tolerate.

the girl unless Ike her. l am glad

Uncle Mark and Katherine laughed
a good deal over this letter, and Kath-
crime called herself merchandise and
declared that she did not approve OF
her grandmother at all and would
make her visit extremely brief

strange invitation and everything was

nor the girl herself realized.
Katherine was to travel from San

only been able TO procure her a whole

Il was a great event in the girls

but the young girl enjoyed herself
very much and quite forgot the com
ing meeting.
Then came ST. Louis. and while the
train made the long stop Katherine
went out upon the platform to take
the air. When she came back a very
beautiful lady sat IN her compart-
ment

Effort in This Country to Make It's

Peat, which might almost be called
the national fuel Of ireland, has never
been very successfully exploited in
the United States. While peat can be
converted into a fair quality Of fuel
for both domestic and steam purposes.
all methods Of handling it SO far de.
vised require heavy machinery and
considerable hand labor. and both Of
these are expensive. Several expert.

test the feasibility OF manufacturing
peat fuel, but they have not com.
