Biggest Men in Baseball.

The Central league, of which Grand
Rapids is member, holds the big
gest man in baseball. His name is
Ed Walker and he is a pitcher for
the GAINESVILLE, o., club.
Mike Lynch of the Western asso-
citation weighs 235 pounds, but is not
nearly as tall as the Central league
star. Furthermore, Lynch is nearly
as wide as he is tall.
"Big JEFF" Overall of the Chicago
Cubs is 6 feet 2 inches tall and
weighs 210 pounds. ICY" Falken-
berg of Cleveland is a few inches
over 6.feet, but does not weigh near
the 200 pound mark.
The American league has other tall
fingers, but not one of them can
quite reach the size of Walker.
Walker weighs $50 pounds. He is
built in proportion to his height.
The mountain of flesh has been
pitching good ball in the Central. He
is regarded as the leagues best twirl-
er. He is easy and graceful in pitch
ing despite his unusual size.

WHEN YOU TAKE HER
OUT TO THE GAME

When you take her out to the ball game.
And you're packed in the stand with the
crowd,
Isn't it nice to have her ask you
In a voice that is fearfully loud:
What makes that player who throws the
ball
Wave his arms like that?"
And-"Don't you think it's mean in them
Not letting the umpire bat?"
And when a home player steals second
and third
BY glorious slide to the base.
She says: Its cruel for the crowd to
When that poor fellow fell on his face"
Then you try to explain. and she says:
"Oh, l see! But why don't the rest of
the players
Wear an apron to keep their suits clean
Like the man with the muzzle on
wears?"
And-"Why do you say the pitchers no
When he's hitting the bat every timer"
And-''Why don't the policeman arrest
them?
Isn't stealing bases crime?'
Then, after you've answered these Ques-
tions
And two or three million more.
You ask in the crowd as you go out the
gate
To find out what was the score.

gions, where there was not depth OF
water enough to destroy the vegeta-
tion or to admit of the intrusion of
gravel, sand and mud, which, brought
in from surrounding highlands, would
have rendered it too impure for use.
The character of the vegetation which
supplied these great accumulations of
coal is amply shown in the fossil
forms which appear, especially near the
top and bottom of the coal seams,
while in some cases the entire stumps
of trees are found still standing in
place, with their roots penetrating into
the under clay which supported the
vegetation.
In Nova Scotia there are found no
less than 76 seams of coal separated
by beds of sandstone and shale. Each
Of these beds indicates a change Of
level which took place in the region
during its accumulation. During the
accumulation of the coal the swamp
was so shallow that no currents of wa
to interfere with the growth or bury
it. But after certain amount of veg
etable deposits had accumulated, there
was subsidence of the area, allowing
access to currents of water carrying
sediment sufficient to bury the deposit
of coal, and furnish the basis for the
growth of vegetation in another swamp
on top of the accumulated sediment,
and so the process went on indefinite
ly, as long as the climate continued ia
vorable, and these changes of level
continued to proceed with the appro.
pirate rate of rapidity.

WORLDS COAL. BEDS. ;, GOING FAST.

Coal is the chief corner stone OF
modern civilization. Nearly all the
labor-saving appliances must have coal
to make them effective. Outside of
the muscles of men AID animals the
chief sources of power available for
the use of man are gravitation as it is
set free in falling water and heat aris-
ing from the chemical combustion of
coal. But waterfalls are stationary,
and even with the ability to distribute
their power through electricity, it is
available as yet over only limited
area. If all the power of Niagara
should be turned into electricity it
could not profitably be distributed be-
yond the limits of western New York,
whereas coal can be carried to the
ends of the earth and it's power set
free for use wherever 1t is needed. If
the prairies of the west and the COM
paratively level regions the world
over, where are found the best agri-
cultural lands, were limited, as for
merly, to water power for running
their factories and mills, these would
necessarily be few and Insignificant
Such great manufacturing centers as
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis
and Cincinnati would be impossible
away from the mountainous districts.
1t would be tremendous setback to
the agricultural interests of the Mis-
sissippi valley If they were compelled
to dispense with steam thrashers and
steam traction engines and substitute
In their places the work of innumer-
able droves of horses and mules.
