RESERVOIR HILL CONSIDERED.
May De Site of Big wireless
Tower.


1t IS rumOred that the new 6OO-foot steel
wireless telegraph station which is to be
erected by the Navy Department. and
which when completed Will send messages
1900 miles, may be placed upon the top
Of the old Reservoir Hin, in George
town.
Lieut. Sweet, OF the Bureau of EQUIP
ment. has entire charge OF the selection
Of a site for the tower, and 1t is under
stood that he favors Reservoir Hill in
preference 20 the new Naval Observatory
grounds, where it was at first intended
TO erect the tower.
As the contemplated shaft will rival
the Washington Monument In height, the
officials of the government are anxious
TO have Il erected as far away from the
latter a. possible. so as not to detract
from the majesty Of the Monument.
Another point in favor Of the Reservoir
Hill site is the fact that the foundation
Of the old reservoir is still intact, and
can be utilized exactly as It now stands
FOR the foundation Of the new tower.

The day of the high ball has passed.
Not the kind of high ball" that the
man behind the bar concocts-although
that, too, has seen it's best days with
the ball player-but the kind that
comes high to the batter. ~.
Addie Joss, the veteran pitcher of
the Cleveland Maps, is authority for
the statement, and he says that the
habit of the batters swinging their
bats is responsible.
There was day when the pitcher
. who pitched 'em high-who kept them
at the batter's shoulder and head
was declared a great finger" re-
marked Joss.
But no more. Nowadays the great
pitchers are the fellows who keep the
ball breaking at the knees Of the bat
tiers.
Take the batter at the plate. When
he swings his bat to and fro, waiting
for the ball, he swings it on q line
with his shoulder. Hand him one
there and he is waiting for it. Put the
ball down at his knee and he must
strike upward.
The height of pitchers also has
much to do with it. Falkenberg,
Young, Liebhardt, Foster and myself,
for instance. Either one of us starts
the ball seven feet from the ground
that is, It's more than that number or
feet In the air when it leaves our out
stretched arm. &&szya: d sglss
IF it comes to the batter at his
knees it's probably two feet from the
ground. It has fallen more than i've
feet in traversing the distance be-
tween the pitchers slab and the plate,
and the slab Is on Z mound. u ssss 4.

Looking for the Bright Side.

Life at times may be hard, even
as the desert is barren, but in the
desert there are GASES, and it is a
duty to direct our steps toward them
and to spend few hours in their
grateful shade. Even in the minds Of
our anxiety, of our incessant toll
there are moments of respite, and if
we avail ourselves of them the heart
is lightened and the body strength
ened. 1t is Just as much a mans
duty to be happy when he can as it
is to pray. This world Is not only
beautiful, but it will make our souls
beautiful if we learn to appreciate it.
Gloom and dependency are some
times Inevitable, but when the sun
breaks through the clouds, even for
an hour, we should grasp that hour
and consecrate it with smile. There
is no life which is always dark, and If
we allow ourselves to be so impress
ed by the hardships we undergo that
we cannot enjoy a restful afternoon
ne do ourselves an injury. The habit

of looking for misery invites misery

Religion, as understand it, is the
most cheering and cheerful philoso-

tells us of God who has planned our
experience that we shall grow broad
er minded and larger hearted with
every f1eeting year. The boy in
school thinks his lessons irksome,
but the refreshment of recess and an
occasional holiday makes his task
easier. We are all in Gods school,
and if at times our resources are
taxed and we are bowed down there
are other times when the rainbow
shimmers in the sky.
And religion tells us also that the
present is merely the short journey
to larger and wider future; that
the grandest realities of life lie be-
yond the horizon of times.
