sent him to prison for ten years at
Paris, depriving him of all books or
writing materials, and thereby doing
everything in it's power to block fu-
ture civilization.
The pope at last ordered him set free.
He hurried back to Oxford, where, in
| lectures and books, he fiercely de-
nounced the ignorance and monk-rid-
den stupidity of his time. He also
put forth a new philosophy which
pointed to higher, saner life; and
resumed work on his inventions.
Foremost among these inventions
was the formula for gunpowder.
Combustibles of various sorts had
| been in use from time to time, prin-
cipally in the orient, since before the
beginning of the Christian era. Crude
explosives had even been hurled by
hand or from catapults in battles and
at sieges. This custom had been COM
mon among the Arabs for centuries.
For in the early days, all civilization
and invention came from the east. Gull

China and Arabia at time when
Europe was cropping in the darkness
of semi-barbarism.

Bacon's devising real gunpowder in

He found that equal quantities of

1t was not long before cannon of
wood, bound with iron hoops, or of
leather, bound with ropes, were in
use. These were easily sufficient to
resist the expansion of such powder
as Bacon had invented Iron balls or
| great stones were the projectiles. The
flower of chivalry found they could
make scant Roadway against such mis-
siles, which smashed the stoutest
armor like eggshells. Thus the per-
secuted Roger Bacon struck a death
blow to feudalism and other outworn
"chivalric" customs. He also, indi-
rectly, aided progress by decreasing
the frequency with which wars were
waged. For powder, as it improved,
called for more intricate guns, and
these at last so increased the cost of
war as to render it no longer a thing
to be entered upon, as before, at any
slight provocation.
Bacon's audacious writings and lee
lures caused the church once more to

An English nobleman, imprisoned in
the Tower of London on political
charge in the latter part of the sew
enteenth century, noticed one cold
day that when he clamped down too
tightly the lid of a water-kettle on his
cell stove, the lid would sooner or
later fly off. The prisoner, marquis
of Worcester, had much time on his
hands. He fell to studying out rea-
son for these explosions. In time he
had figured out their reason. The
heat of the stove boiled the water in
the kettle. The boiling generated a
vapor, known as steam. This vapor
was so powerful in it's expansion that
it forced it's way out of the narrow
confines of the kettle and pervaded
the room. Experiments later proved
that steam would fill 1,642 times the
space occupied by the water which
had formed it. 1t was new force, a
new and tremendous power, of which
the world at large was wholly ig-
norant. Phe marquis made many ex-
periments along his chance-discov-
cred subject. And the fame of them
reached the ears of Capt Slavery, a
military engineer.
Slavery, soon after hearing of Wor-
cester's theory, was one day sitting in
tavern. He had just finished drink
ing a bottle of wine. He tossed the
bottle with it's few remaining drops of
liquid into the open fire. Presently
what was left of the wine began to
issue from the mouth of the bottle in
the form of steam. Savory snatched
up the bottle and thrust it's neck into
a pail of cold water that stood close
by. Water rushed up into the bottle
almost filling it. This phenomenon
set Savery to thinking. He made ex-
periments and, in 1898, took out a pat
ent for device for Raising water
and occasioning motion to all sorts of
mill-work by the impellant force of
fire" In other words he made the
first practical application of steam
power to mechanical use and, by fol-
lowing out the idea evolved by the

~ ern, he constructed

procuring, by condensation, a vacuum.
This was later improved on by a
steam engine in which Through the

ton, or plunger, was forced Saverys
idea was taken up by Thomas New
comen, an English mechanic, a year
or two later. Newcomer made an en-

but elsewhere foreigners are relative
ly few. While Bolivia suffers from
not having access to either ocean ex-
cept by rail through Peru or Chill on
the west or Argentina in the east, her
connection by rail with the latter
country makes an outlet to the At
lantic coast which will be of immense
value in the development of the coun.

tina becomes settled, and will event
ually begin to enter Bolivia.
Practically all of these countries
offer rich fields for investment and
for straight business. They are all
new in the sense that they possess
immense areas of fertile and virgin
lands, mineral deposits and forests of
every variety of valuable wood; that
the population is small and constant
railroads are very much needed, as
well as other modern eonveniences
and utilities. Very few Americans az
yet have the foresight to get in"
here as have the English, who have
hundreds of millions of pound ster-
ling invested in South America. New
York bankers, however, contracted
with the Bolivian government several
years ago to construct various lines Of
railroad, and after building some 200
miles sold the contract to an English
company. The Americans look for
quick money, and the English for
long investment.
Many American manufacturers have
overlooked the fact that these coun-
tries have patent and trademark laws
and have suffered in ignoring them. I
came cross one instance of the kind
in Paraguay, where one Of the best
American make of arms can be sold
under the manufacturers own name,
because he neglected to have it regis
tered. In another place well-known
American medicated soap was imi-
tated in Germany and sold as genuine.
However, here in Bolivia a Chicago in
ventor recently tried to have his in
vention patented, and after sending
his lawyer, whom 1 have since met,
over 5000 and waiting months without
result, gave it up in despair. He was
unfortunate in the lawyer, and also
in wanting a patent in Bolivia, for
here the law is very old and cumber-
some. That same lawyer pretended
to try to get me copy of the patent
law and failed. 1 got the law, but he
doesn't represent me in La Paz But

PLAY THAT DISHEARTENS
The MAJORITY OF CLUBS
Having Men Caught Off Bases Takes
Life Out of Team-Important
Part of the Game.

There is probably nothing in base
ball that so quickly takes the life out
of club as to have a man or two
caught off the bases. With this fact
in view every club tries to perfect
itself in this department of the game.
To the spectator there usually appear
but two men who are directly con-
nected with the play, when in reality
the pitcher has as much, If not more,
to do with it than any Of the other
players. This is especially true where
the catcher throws to one of the bases
to catch a man mapping. The infielder
usually gives the catcher the sign
that he is going to attempt the play,
but often the backstop signals the
next tipped off on what is coming,
and, knowing what is expected, he
must bitch the ball where it will be
easy for the catcher to handle and at
the same time such distance away
from the batter that it is impossible
for him to hit the ball.
1t can readily be seen that If the
pitcher does not keep the ball out or
away from the hitter what swell
chance the man at the bat has to not
only break up the attempted play, but
at the same time to hit through the
spot vacated by the infielder. The in
fielder must start for the base as soon
as the pitcher starts to deliver the
ball, and consequently this spot is left
Open Brown, King and Tinker pulled
off the play on Sam Crawford in the
fourth game of the worlds series at
Detroit, when they picked the Tigers
slugger off second. 1t was a swell
play all around and, while most of the
glory of the play went to Killing and
Tinker, Brown must not be over
looked, as he made the play success
by the manner in which he handed the
ball to Killing. In that memorable IT,
inning game between the Athletics
and Detroit, Donovan, Payne and
OLeary caught Hartsel the same way,
and but for Topsy being nailed, which
lost at least one run in that inning.

PERIL OF THE SPIKES
ON BASEBALL DIAMOND

The peril of the spikes is rem
dering baseball almost as dan
gerous a game as football, &C
cording to numerous critics.
Hardly a day passes but that in
a close play some guardian of
a base is cut or sustains some
strain or breaking of bone.
Managers now regard it as one
of the first essentials of good
infielder that he can put the
tag on a base-runner. Many
basemen lack the requisite
nerve. Others have not the
skill. With the ball and the
runner arriving together and
the runner coming recklessly
through, throwing himself
spikes first at the bag, it takes
a cast-iron nerve to avoid finch
ing. Daring base-runners, like
Cobb of Detroit, make capital
of the fact that it is known that
they are absolutely reckless
and will be stopped by no
thought of injury either to
themselves or the baseman. Ac-
cidents have been so frequent
at the home plate that several
catchers have been forced to
the wearing of shin guards.
