What's the Score ?
BY G. NJ. BALDWIN.

Unleash the doggerels of baseball.
The season is open with the usual
eclat. The baseball reporter has
rubbed his facile pen on the seat of
his pants, and ground out something
like this:
Smiling Harry came to the bat for
the local gladiators. He was good
waiter and got three counterfeits.
Lanky Jim, who was handling the
damp spheroid for the opposing nine
finally unwound his superstructure
and put the Joy pebble to the liking
of His Merriness. Smiler pressed
against the little comforter for a one
sacker out into right truck farm.
Smiling Harry tarried not long on the
initial sack, but when Lanky Jim was
not sitting up and taking notice i'm
mediately drug his anchor toward the
second depot, which he larcenied in
safety. The Long One showed symp-
toms of taking on sky-pilot at this
time and Lonesome Jim, the next bat
ter, reached the first oasis via the
charity route. However, his narrow
lankships took a caucus with himself
and Handsome Ike whitfield the ozone,
the understudy for the Singer build
ing occupying the box for the visitors
putting Ike to sleep with three of his
fadeaway knockout drops. In the
meantime Smiling Harry and Lone
some Jim performed twin pilfer and
were safely occupying second and
third refuge when the smoke cleared
away. Hank the Bite put fly in
Lanky Jim's ointment by aeroplanine
to the Midway Plaisance, Smiling
Harry ambling on to the lowly
thatched cottage on the put-out. p

The world is in the beginning Of
annother era of revolution and
change in it's systems Of transporta-
tion, says The Cincinnati Enquirer.
The growth of electric systems and
their development in the line of trans
portation have been little short of
marvellous. The employment OF hun
dreds of millions of dollars in capital
in its various branches and the work
given to hundreds of thousands OF
men could never have taken place ex-
cept in this age of expansion OF
knowledge and capital.
The use of electricity has scarcely
commenced, but already the early
plants established for light and
power are aptiquated and inefficient
as compared with those that can now
be installed. The great railway sys-
TENS of the country are now seeking
the most advanced methods of en-
ploying this force in order to equip
their roads and thus gradually sup
plant the steam power now employed.
Many of the roads are met with an
awkward financial problem instead
of a mechanical one in the situation
presented to them.
There is do doubt that electricity
can be produced and supplied at the
minimum cost to cities, districts or
roads, within radius of 200 miles,
at the mouths of the coal mines.
Roads that pass through or close by
such coal mines derive immense rev.
enues from the transportation of the
coal to the cities and the districts,
To establish and use an electric sys-
tenn for their own roads with power
derived from plants at the mouths OF
the coal mines is an ideal economy as

A scientific labor of the utmost i'm
portance and interest is about to be
commenced from Shanghai This is
a magnetic survey of China, and DR..
Edwards, of the Carnegie Institute,
Washington, d. c., who is to carry
1t through, is at present In Shanghai
preparing for the work.
In describing his latest journey in
Thibet, ended during the present
year, DR.. Sven Hedin says that the
greatest result achieved Is the dis
covery of continuous mountain
chain 1000 miles long, stretching east
and west, and which, taken as a
whole, is the most massive range on
the crust of the earth.
Experts have held that the so-called
"cat" of the ancient Romans and
Greeks" ailurus," the wavy tailed
one-was not cat at all, but kind
of weasel. The mummified Egyp-
tian animal, however, was a genuine
cat, even If certain peculiarities about
its teeth make it difficult to regard
1t as near relative of the modern
domestic puss.
Investigations of the recent royal
commission of coal supplies have
shown that the present inefficient con-
sumption of coal in Great Britain
leads to waste of from 40,000,000
to 60,000,000 tons per annum, and
1t is also responsible for the greater
proportion of smoke and dust from
which they suffer. Thirty per cent.
of the total British consumption of
coal might be saved by employing the
best known means for such purpose.
There Is being constructed for the

Survey, vertical compression test

gross weight of over 200 tons and an

about eighty feet, is the largest ever
constructed The machine was pri-
marily acquired for the purpose of
testing large blocks of stone made
necessary by the study of the build
ing stones of the country, as request
ed by the supervising architect.

Tears of Blood.

The belief that certain individuals
are able to weep tears of blood is of
such antiquity that the German equiv
alent for "bitter tears" is "blutige
Thranen," bloody tears" There
seems, however, no outhentic instance
of blood being actually secreted by
the lachrymal gland.
Micas has published very inter-
esting article on real and false tears
of blood. 1t is a clinical study on
conjunctive hemorrhage. Some years
ago the author was consulted about
a boy aged twelve years, who from
the slightest cause, such as laughter,
or sometimes apparently for no. cause
whatever, wept tears of blood-an
occurrence often repeated several
times a day. The lad was pale and
enervated from constant hemorrhage.
The source of the bleeding was the
tarsal conjunctiva, which was COW
cred with fine paplilae, and light
cauterization with the galvano-caut-
cry resulted in a cure.
This case led the author to study
the literature of the subject. He
found that in none of the cases cited
is it certain that the blood did not
come from the conjunctiva or from
the lachrymal passages. He feels
that it is unwise to deny the possi-
bility of a sanguineous secretion from
the gland, but that examples in which
other sources cannot be shown to be
present must be exceedingly rare.

Hogs VS.. Health.

Mr. EDITOR: Is is right and healthy
for anyone inside of the town limits
to feed hogs and make all the sur.
rounding air detes.able to breathe? (?
Some people have had those things
on their premises and have had them
for months 1t is a wonder that all
who live near are not down with some
dreadful fever. You are right in
urging that the weeds in the alleys
should be cut before going to seed. 1
hear people upon High and Main
streets speak of beautiful Hillsboro,
but let them go out &c the side streets
and alleys and it is a very different
picture. Land owners or tenants
should be made keep their surround
ings neat and healthy. Respectfully,

HillshoPo College.

EDITOR NEWS. HERALD: The re.
newal of the proposition made year
ago to the Board of Education of

ing the first week of July, makes it
necessary that some additional state.
ments be made, which l had hoped
would not be required. The state
ments now made will not refer to the
Importance of securing the college
property for school purposes for the
schools of Hillsboro, for we're the
college surrendered, neither those
now in possession nor the college
trustees could make transfer of the
property nor give title, and however
desirable or important to secure 1t,
that question will have to be deferred
and referred In the future to source
that can make the transfer and title.
But the question now to be consider
ed is as to the propriety and justice
of paying those in possession $4,000
or any other sum for the surrender of
the property. If there is just claim
then every dollar of that claim should
be awarded. But If there is no such
just claim, then every citizen of
Hillsboro who has paid tax into the
city treasury for school purposes
would have occasion to protect
against paying any sum for such pur'
pose, for the payment of such sum
leaves the question of getting the
college for school purposes unsettled,

an important bearing on the whole
question.
