QUOT BALL A
REAL PUZZLER

Clark Griffith has discovered a new
style Of delivery that will be Just as
much Of a puzzler as the spit bali.
The new-fangled delivery has been
christened the "quoit ball. Griffith
made his first demonstration with tine
'quoit ball." with Charley Sturr doing
the receiving. The famous master or
the slow ball has given this new de-
livery lot Of study, and as it is some
thing absolutely new it should prove a
sensation The quot ball is started
below the hip. The pitcher takes a
long swing with the back OF his hand
toward the batsman, He throws the
ball very much like a man playing
quoits tosses the quot. but of course
he puts a twist on il for the purpose
Of fooling the batter. As the ball
leaves his hand Grif puts bunch Of
reverse English on it, and the sphere
sails up to the plate very much like a
hoop. with the reverse on 1t, rolls on
the floor.
1T was the funniest kind of a ball
ever caught" said Sturr after the
demonstration.

BILL HAD EXPERIENCE.-The late
Major Pond managed Bill Nye for sew
eral lecture seasons, but their first
meeting was rather informal. Nye was
one day walking down Fourth avenue
with a friend when he spied the ma

Everett house.
Here's the man that incites the lee
turers," said Nye, let's go in and see
if we can't induce him to lead a bet

Entering, Nye removed his hat and
ran his hand over the hairless eXpanse
of his head, and, after staring about
for a moment, said:
This is Major Pond, l believe?"
Yes, sir. What can l do for you?
answered the major.
Il want to get job on the platform
returned Nye.
"Ah-yes," said the major slowly

NOT CURED By \ GREAT DEAL
A doctor came up to patient in an
insane asylum, slapped him on the
back, and said: We'll, old man, you're
all right. You can run along and write
your folks that you'll be back home in
two weeks as good as new"
The patient went off gayly to write
his letter, says Everybody's. He had
it finished and sealed, but when he
was licking the stamp it slipped
through his fingers to the floor, light
ed on the back of a cockroach that was
passing, and stuck. The patient hadn't
seen the cockroach-what he did see
was his escaped postage stamp zigzag-
ging aimless across the floor to the
Dashboard, wavering up over the base
board, and following a crooked track
up the wall and across the ceiling. In
depressed silence he tore up the letter
that he had just written and dropped
the pieces on the floor.

Violate Tombs, Deface and Even Steal

Violate Tombs, Deface and Even Stea
China's Sacred Monuments.
The following letter, received by the
secretary of the American Asiatic as
sociation and published in the journal
of that body. indicates that the for
eign devils" in China occasionally con-
duct themselves in a manner to earn
that title. The letter is signed by
Frederick Mccormick and is dated al
Pekin, September 2, 1908. 1t reads:
Dear Sir: \ great increase in van
dalism has occurred in China since
1906. especially in North China. Some
of the most celebrated and valuable
monuments, sculptures, etc, are now
threatened with destruction. This can
be said of the monoliths at the Ming
Tombs to the north of Pekin, where
the statues in the famous avenue OF
stone images have been defaced and
where depredatiOns Of images, carV-
ings, etc, by visitors are increasing.
During 1907 foreigner abroad, 9TH
erwise respected, financed an eXpedl-
ton to Sian-fu in the province OF
asserted afterward that his primary
object had been to filch the HISTORIAN
Tablet and float it away by the Wei
and Yellow rivers. The enterprise
failed owing to the presence of foreign
residents at Sian-fu and the precau-
tionS of the Governor of Shensi, who
removed the monument into the city
of Sian-fu.
Recently one of the government
boards called the attention of the
throne to foreign vandalism in the
Temple of Heaven inclosure at Pekin.
Last year foreign trespassers commit
ted Outrages there which attracted
the attention of the throne. About
the same time the depredations of
foreigners caused the temple Ta-Kao-
tien in Pekin to be closed to visitors.
The destruction CT the carvings
around the base of the famous marble
tops in the Yellow Temple, begun be-
fore 1909, has continued.
Depreciation is apparently accelera-
ted by the visible destruction per-
formed by foreigners in 1900. Other
instances than the above might be
cited if required.
At the present rate of progress
there is danger that the monument:
that are to be the chief attraction OF
SIllld luluIS Jil hS' lliOSSuAiIo civ
historic shrines will be effectually de-
stroyed within a few years.
The improvement Of railway con-
neCtions with Europe during the last
year has been the means of this rapid
development of vandalism. The de-
struction of the Ming Tombs has oc-
CURED since the opening Of the rail-
way to Nan-kou, little more than g
year ago. In a short time a railway
will be opened to the Tomb of Confu-
cious, where similar outrage will mos
certainly be committed if something
is not done to prevent it.
The formation of a society which
shall receive sufficient prominence tc
give it power to impress upon travel
ers and other visitors that vandalism
in China has reached a state of aggra'
waited grievance would be a means to-
ward it's arrest.

MEAT INSPECTION.
How the New System Protects the
American Consumer.

American Consumer.
The people Of the United States
consume more than 15,000,000,0OO
POUNDS of meat annually, per capita
consumption of nearly 200 POUNDS a
year, says the Review Of Reviews.
his is considerably more meat tor
each man, woman and child than the
weight of the average full-grown
man. The meat consuming units OF
the American family eat every year
more rnan double tne-r weight II eol-
BILE flesh and more than three times
their own weight of what may be
termed meat on the hoof. 1t is calCu-
lated by the Bureau of Animal Indus
try at Washington that meat constI-
tuteS fully one-third of the nations
food bill, propoS. ton which makes
the average European workingman
scratch his head in amazement that
there should be such vast meat sup
ply and wonder if perhaps we are not
cannibals. The majority of fairly
prosperous foreigners never see meat
on their tables ottener than once a
week. Think of it! Only fifty-twO
good meals of meat in year! Where
would the Beef Trust be with such a
market in America?
The condition being as it is in the
United States, and the fact being that
the average family eats meat more
than once day, the wisdom Of an ad-
equate meat inspection law, strictly
enforced, is more than apparent Our
system of meat inspection is the result
of a series of laws, the latest enact
ment, which relates principally to
canned and preserved meats, being the
outcome of the tremendous popular
uprising of 1906. This question now
presents itself: "Is the present law
adequate and effective, and, now that
the furry of popular indignation on
the subject has subsided, is it we'll ad-
