Great Indoor Ball at
 ArmOry Last Night

In probably the hottest game of in- door basel all ever torn off at the arm cry. the Hospital Corps last evening defeated a team from, the Bridgeport Club by the score of 3-2. A game of indoor baseball in which so few runs are made is quite remarkable. and only goes to show with what strides the playing has advanced at the arnory.
 Though good batting marked the work of both teams. sharp field 'ng kept the runs down. Schultz. Adams and Tu-iey made up the battery for the Doctors. and Barron and Christie for the losers. The scorers job in an incoor baseball game. when the sco-es sometimes run into the thirties. is not the easiest position possible but last evening Attorney James A>Turner had a cinch at the job.

Patriotism, In the Making.

Patriotism in New York is cosmopol itnn- They have a flag drill in the schools in which the children of every race and cline. as the hymn book says, are taught to salute the stars and stripes and give their heads their hands and their hearts to their country" And fn some of the big downtown schools you may see chil dfen from homes German. Italian Syrian. Scandinavian. Jewish. Hunga rian. Chinese. Armenian. Greek and heaven knows how many other nation alities all joining in this picturesque ceremony.

MURRAY STILL AT
 HELM OF QUAKERS

William Murray has not compromis ed with Presid It Horace Fogel or any of the new owners of the Prilade,phla National league club. He is still the active manager of the Phsllies, and as such will demand recoz milton from Quakertown and the baseball world at large. As yet Murray has not confer red with the new owners But he will do so before the end of the week He is going to put an ultimatum up to the club. It is two full years pay or stick to the ship with him. If the Philadelphia club owners ignore his demands he will take the$ case to the National Commission. Should redress fail here. an action will be begun in the civil courts.
 The National Commission has always stood for integrity of contract When Boston tired to oust Joe Kelly. Harry Pulliam warned George Dovey that the commission would rule against him. A compromise resulted. President Lynch the new member of the National Com was elected to the National League chair for his honesty and It looks like Murray at the Quaker helm or some 0.c00 toss ed into the air by the men behind the Phillies.

AN EXCITING RIDE.

 Road In the Andes.
 In going over one of the mountain roads on the way to the crest of the Andes the traveller has need of steady nerves. A passage in "The Andean Land." by C. S. Osborn, describes the journey.
 The road Is narrow and rocky and rutty and steep. with no walls tU speak of except tumbledown ones that increase the danger by their false sug gestion of safety. and in one place the wagon would fall 2.OO0 feet if it should roll off the edge of the noun tain.
 The road has no graceful sweeps or round. easy curves us 1t takes its way up the titanic heights, but rather il zigzags like the teeth of a saw. ascend ing iu short stretches and doubling back at sharply acute angles. leaving very little room for team and wagon to turn In when driven slowly. and carefully and two abreast.
 Now. imagine. If you can. the horses driven madly In a gallop. no trot-that would be slow-but in quick. short. jerky jumps. such as the mustang-like animals would make under the saddle when pressed.
 The short. high coach follows the cavorting horses. jerking. ca 'eening and springing like small beat sail ing in wildly choppy sea. } ou per cefve that the wheels are strong and the springs. too. and the whole rig evil dently intended for chariot racing.
 The driver groans. yells. whistles shrilly. cracks his thick rawhide whip. lashes his horses and does everything he knows that will inspire fear and induce speed. All this you become ac. customed to-'in a measure on your dash up the. narrow road dug into and blown out of the giant ribs of the tow ering mountains.

Touching Scene That Occurred In the
 House of Representatives.
 From a volume by Hon. A. E. Ste venson. Something of Men I Have Known" is taken this account of an incident which deserves a place in memory:
 A touching scene occurred in the house of representatives number of years ago when an aged member from New Jersey arose and for the first time addressed the speaker. All eyes were turned In his direction as he stood calmly awaiting recognition. He was tall spare and erect His ven- erable appearance and kindly expres- sion, coupled with most courteous manners. at once commanded atten- ton As in husky tones he again said MT. Speaker,' there came from the farthest end of the great hall in a whisper. but distinctly heard by all the words. sweet Alice. Ben Bolt" A moment later and from the floor and gallery many voices blended in the familiar refrain. Don't you remem- Der sweet Alice. Ren Bolt:" Nc
 The ovation which immediately fol- lowed was such as is rarely witnessed in the great hall. Business was sus- pended for the moment and the hand of the new member warmly grasped by the chosen representatives of all parties and sections. It was an in- spiring tribute. one worthily bestowed. The member was Thomas Dunn Eng fish. author of the little poem. sung in palace and cottage. which has found its way into all languages and touched all hearts.

The w.t.r. Under tb. E.rth.

Below depth of six miles under the surface of the earth's crust 1t is be- lieved that no water can exist in the rock formations. because the tremen- dous pressure probably closes all pores. But above that level the quan- tity of underground water is estimated to be equal to one-third of all the wa ter contained in the oceans. If poured over the land surface of the globe the underground water would. it is averred. be sufficient to coTer 1t to uniform depth of from 5000 to $500 feet.
