The Curved Ball.

It was not until 1878 that the ques-
ton Of pitching a curved ball was set
tied once for all. George Wright's
Boston nine was playing the final Sc
ries of that year in Cincinnati. The
curve ball controversy ragged in the
city Of the Red Stockings. Wright
was asked to prove that a ball could
be curved. He agreed to test the mat
ter after the final game.
The Cincinnati team put up two ten
foot fences about twenty yards apart.
with a post between them, all on a
line. Tommy Bond, a right handed
pitcher. stood at the left Of one fence.
After two trials he threw a ball which
went to the right Of the post and fin
ished to the left Of the second fence.
He repeated this six or seven times.
"The wind did it." said the doubters.
'Then We'll try it the other way
around" said Wright. He stationed
Mitchell Of Cincinnati, a left handed
pitcher, to the right Of the first fence.
Mitchell threw a curve ball to the left
Of the post, which finished to the right
Of the second fence. News Of this,

Experiments by Physicians Prove Il to
Be Beneficial.
DR.. c. c. Fowler and DR.. p. B. Hawk
Of Urbana, Ill.,. at the recent meeting
Of the American Medical association
described an experiment designed to
throw light IN the tissue change in
fuences Of copious water drinking
with meals.
"Only one man was studied from
lack OF help in working up material"
says the New York Medical Journal.
During a preliminary period of six
days he was given a fixed diet; then
for five days the same, except one
liter of water was taken with each
meal, the food being carefully masti-
Gated before it was swallowed; finally
for a period of eight days the original
diet again.
"They found nothing to support the
general view that water drinking dur
ing meals was injurious. though the
experiment was not based on enough
cases to be conclusive. To the con-
trary, the study indicated that so large
an amount of water during meals was
a desirable feature of nutrition. The
man was in an improved physical con.
dition after the water period and
weighed two pounds more"
Fewer bacteria were generated in
the system during the water period
and also during the third period, indi-
eating that digestion had improved.
Commenting on this experiment. DR.
A. mcfarland of Albany said that
from a clinical standpoint it was not
right to say that in general n should
drink a liter of water with each meal
1t would not do in persons with d
tendency to dilatation Of the stomach
he asserted. 1t vas questionable
whether m~astication would be carried
on properly If this be done. Expert
ments should be made with water
drinking between meals. he declared.
DR.. Hawk closed the discussion. he
said that he looked upon the metabolie
changes as due to stimulation anG
hence a good feature. Increased eel
activity resulted in increased weight
AS to DIR. MacFarland's statement, be
said a point before being applied tt
clinical cases must be Orientated by
finding the normal; this was the en-
deavor in the experiment.
Even if food were swallowed more
hastily, DR.. Hawk said, it must be re
membered that saliva was not absS
lutely necessary for digestion; it hat
even been shown that saliva acted bet
ter when it was diluted twenty times

nursed to its limit, and under it a long
march was made over average ice
with the usual result of o%verbearing
fatigue. Too tired and sleepy to wait
for a cup of tea, melted SHOWS were
poured down. and the pemmican was
pounded with the ak to ease the task
of the jaws. The eyes closed before
the meal was finished. and the world
was lost to us for eight hours. The
observation gave latitude 80 degrees

Aluminium Powder Explosive.

The danger Of explosion of mixtures
Of air and combustible dust is we'll
known. Explosions Of this character
occur in -four mills and frequently in
coal mines. Mixtures Of air and alu-
minimum powder are very liable to ex-
p~losion. The combustion Of alumni
ium powder produces a very high
temperature. On this fact is based the
process Of autogenous welding Of iron
rails which is known as alumino-
thermy. Recently, in a factory near
Nuremberg, where a metallic surface
is given to paper by means Of alu-
minimum powder, the breaking Of the
globe Of an inclosed arc lamp caused
an explosion which killed two men
and wounded several others.

The Pearl Harbor Drydock.

The final dimensions Of the great
drydock which the United States navy
is building at Pearl Harbor, in the Ha-
waiian Islands, show that the govern
ment is wisely building for the fu-
ture, says the Scientific American. The
dock will be 1852 feet long from the
coping to the outer sill, 40 feet wide
at the top and will have thirty-tive
feet of water over the entrance sill at
mean high water level. There will
be a sill at the middle of the dock
for an intermediate caisson. which will
divide it into two docks, 575 feet and
80 feet long respectively.

We we're but 100 miles from
the pole. but there vas nothing to re-
lieve the mental strain of the icy de-
spair. The wind came with the same
satanic cut from the west. There had
been little drift, but the ice before us
displayed signs Of recent activity. 1t
was more irregular. with an open crack
here and there, but the sleds glided
with less friction, and the dreary dogs
maintained a better speed under rising
tails.
With teeth set and newly sharpened
resolutions, we set out for that last 100
miles. Some dogs had gone into the
stomachs of their hungry companions,
but there still remained a sufficient
pull of we'll tried brute force for each
sled, and, though their noisy vigor had
been lost in the long drag, they still
broke the frigid silence with an occa-
sional outburst. A little fresh enthusi-
asm from the drivers was quickly fol-
lowed by canine activity.
We were in good trim to owe dis
lance economically. The sledges were
light; our bodies were thin. All the
muscles had shriveled, but the dogs
retained much of their strength. Thus
stripped for the last lap, one horizon
after another was lifted.
In the forced effort which followed
we were frequently overheated. The
temperature was steady at A degrees
below zero F., but p~erspiration came
with ease and a certain amount of
pleasure. Later, however, there fol-
lowed a train Of suffering for many
days. The delight of the birdskin
shirt was changed for the chill Of the
wet blanket.
Fortunately, at this time the sun
was warm enough to dry the furs in
about three days if dashed to the sun
ny side of the sled. In these last days
we felt more keenly the pangs of per-
. spiration than in all our earlier adj
ventures.
The amber colored goggles were per-
sistently used. and they afforded a
protection to the eyes which was quite
a revelation, but in spite of every pre-
caution our distorted, frozen, burned
and withered faces lined a map of the
hardships en- route.
We were curious looking sayages.
The perpetual glitter induced a squint
which distorted the face in a remark
able manner. The strong light reflect
ed from the crystal surface threw the
muscles about the eye into a state Of
chronic contraction. The pupil was
reduced to a mere pinhole.
There was no end of trouble at hand
in ~endeavoring to keep the windows
of the soul open, and all of the effect
was run together in a set expression
of hardship and wrinkles which should
be called the boreal squint.
This boreal squirt is a part of the
russell bronze physiognomy which falls
to the lot of every arctic explorer. The
early winds, with a piercing tempera-
ture, start a flush of scarlet, while
