CUTTING UP eATrLEsHIPs

Formerly the cutting up of huge
masses of steel like the armor belt on
old battleships was a herculean job,
costing much time, money and use of
powerful machinery. To tear up an
old battleship was the labor of months.
requiring the careful cutting of no end
of rivets and laborious chiseling and
hammering. Such job can now be
done In a jiffx by big blowpipe, in
which air and coal gas are burned
under pressure. Two fine nozzles close
together do the job. Or, If coal gas is
not handy acetylene or gasoline vapor
can be used. OF course the blowpipe
is connected to the gas holder by a
strong rubber hose. With the gas
lighted and the air turned on the hard
est steel runs off like a bar of melted
sealing wax The same sure way can
be used In the cutting down of big
trees and big, thick timber, instead Of
the slower and more expensive ak and
saw. 1t can be used instead of drills
and chisels in drilling holes and plan
ing off rough steel. Its greatest dis
advantage is difficult in getting coal
gas but the gasoline takes its place
pretty well.-New York Press.

CLAIM IMPORTED PITCHER
IS CHICAGO CUBS STAR
Bush Teams Manager Thinks He
Was Opposed by Floyd
Kroh

WILKESBARRE. Pa, Aug. T.-Wil-
liam L. McCollum of this city, presi-
dent of the Susquehanna league. has
received charges that Pitcher Floyd
Kroh of the Chicago Nationals had
pitched for Danville of the Susquehan-
ma league against Bloomsbury last
Saturday. He assumed, 1t is charged.
the name of McHale and posed as a
pitcher by that name from Colby col
lege, who was being given try-out by
DanVille.
He won his game easily by the score
of 5 to /, and showed such proficiency
that his cleyerness was remarked. Mrs.
John Mears of Chicago, who was in
the grand stand, recognized him.
1t is charged that the Danville man
agement secured Kroh in philadelphia,
where he was suspended for misbe-
hayior.
President McCollum has given the
Danville management twenty-four
hours to prove that the stranger
pitcher was not Kroh.

FOOTBALL RULES
FINALLY ADOPTED.
Committee Arranging New Code
Has Completed Task, and
Fans Rejoice
MANY STARTLING CHANGES
Veterans of Gridiron Must Again
Learn the Science of
the Game
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Aug 17-After work
ing nearly all summer the football
rules committee completed today the
rulesNthat are to govern the game dur
ing the season of 1910. Changes. adopt
ed are calculated to minimize greatly
the danger of accidents existing under
the old code.
The time of play is divided into four
periods of fifteen minutes each, in
stead of two of thirty -fve-minute
halves. The usual intermission of If
teen minutes is maintained between,
the second and third periods, but an
intermission of three minutes only is
allowed between the first and second
and the third and fourth periods Dur
ing this short intermission no player
will be allowed to leave the field, nor
will anyone, save the trainer, be per-
mitted to come on the field.
At the beginning of the second and
fourth periods the teams change goals,
but the down. the relative spot on the
down, the possession of the ball and
the distance to be gained remain as
they were at the conclusion of the
preceding period.
The flying tackle has been entirely
eliminated by a new ruling which pro-
vides that a player must have at least
one foot on the ground when tackling.
VI player now is qualified to receive
a forward pass only when he Is at
least one yard back of his own line of
scrimmage or occupies the position on
the end of the line. No man may make
a forward pass or kick the ball unless
he is five yards back of the line of
scrimmage. A forward pass is not legal
If the ball crosses a line twenty yards
in advance of the spot where it was
put in play before touching the ground
or player.
Interlocked ELECTROMAGNETIC is,
players on the side having the ball
taking hold of each other or using their
hands or arms to grasp their team
mates in any way-is forbidden.
Another innovation is that a player
who has been removed for any cause
except disqualification or suspension
may return to the game once at the
beginning of any subsequent period.
The longitudinal lines formerly mark
ing the field are done away with, as
the quarterback may now cross the
line of scrimmage at any point.

suNFLoWER PHILOSOPHY

If we were druggist we would hate
to be bothered by people who want to
buy postage stamps.
Considering that every man occa-
sionally bends the Long Bow, we Won
der that liars are so unpopular
1t doesn't usually help to tell a
grievance. But so many men with
grievances don't want help; they want
to talk
We will never get over thinking it
is wonderful to hear two people talk
in German and understand each other.
We presume the insurgents will
blame President Taft because Bob
Taft's middle name is Alfonso; Also
because Bobs motor car ran over an
italian. Taft is being blamed here
almost as much as old Joe Cannon.
Some women have a habit of taking
special pains to make their husbands
Jealous. If there is one thing a woman
needn't take special pains to do that's
1t; a husband will always become
jealous enough without any special eff
fort on the part of his wife.
"Who is this wonderful man you
are praising so extravagantly?" the
managing editor asked of reporter.
Hes dead" the reporter explained.
"Oh," said the managing editor;
that's all right, then; but never make
the mistake of praising living man
in this way" -Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

SPANISH SENDER YACHT
REPRESENTATIVES LOSERS
American Trio Run Away from
Opponents in Races Off
MarbIehead

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Aug. H.
Leaving the Spanish yachts hopeless
ly astern, the three American boats
turned the first international Sender
yacht contest today into an intensely
exciting race of their own. with the
Harpoon finishing IL seconds ahead of
the Beaver, but losing on account
of a fouled turning mark.
Two seconds after the Beaver came
the Gina, but the committee had to
wait s minutes for the Chonta, the
first of the foreigners, 10 minutes for
the Papoose and IS minutes for the
Mosquito II.
The race was over a triangular
course, two miles to the leg. There
was an eight to ten knot northeaster
with some sea.
The official elapsed time follows:

formed Episcopal churches, respective
ly. The Reformed Catholics number
only 1850 communicates, while of the
Reformed Episcopalians there are
about 1862.
The cause of origin of some of the
branches is indicated by the name.
For instance, there are General Bap-
lists, Separate. Baptists, United Bap-
lists Free Babtists, Freewill Baptists,
United American F'reewill Baptists,
Primitive Baptists, General Six-Prlncl-
pies Baptists, Seventh Day Baptists,
Duck River Baptists, and Two-Seed-in-
the-Spirit Predestination Baptists.
The civil war caused splits, giving
rise to Southern Methodist and South
ern Baptist bodies. In these churches
there is also color division. Two or
three churches came into existence
Just after the close of the war as a
protest against political preaching
Many of the branches of the Lutheran
church are due to difference in nation
ality.
CATHOLICS UNDIVIDED
OF other branches, besides the Duck
River Baptists, owing their names to
localities are the River Brethren and
the Workers, both branches of the
Brethren denomination. The former be-
gan existence on the Susquehanna
river; the latter in York county, Pa.
The Brinsers, also Brethren, are
called after their first bishop as also
the Schweckenfelders.
Three of the newest churches men
toned are composed largely of colored
communicates. One of these, the
Church of God and Saints of Christ,
accepts the Ten Commandments as
positive guide to salvation and uses
only scriptural names for it's mem
bers. The Church of the Living Cod
began business in 1899 and already has
three branches. The Free Christian
Zion Church Of Christ, founded in 1905,
protests against all attempts to tax
members for the support of churches.
There were about 700 organizations
in the main branch of the Salvation
Army, with a membership of about 49,
00O There were ass organizations Of
Spiritaalist3 with over $4,000 MEM
bers.
The report records the rapid disap-
pearance of communistic societies,
showing that of eight organizations
mentioned in the census of 1890, only
two are left, the survivors being rem
nants of the Shakers and Of the Amana
society.

First CantaIever Bridqe.

The first cantalever railroad bridge Is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland It Is nearly one and a half miles in length Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in its construction. employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $16,- 100000 and fifty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion oi the bolts that were to complete the Bpan. For a time this was puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious wcfkman who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

Strikino Comet.

If we ask the effect of comets striking the earth we will readily see that if the head of the comet were com posed of powders a collision would have disastrous consequences. A rain of millions of great meteoric stones would, of course, bring catastrophe. If, however, it were merely rain of small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it. for the parti- cles would never reach us. They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface. If the gases lib- erated by friction were in excessive volume we might suffer discomfort or even disaster. 1t is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti- cles strike our atmosphere every day. This would be serious matter if we were not protected by our great shel- tering envelope of air. Occasionally a meteoric powder is large enough to resist the heat generated by this fric- tion and reaches the surface. This we call meteorite. The now established connection between comets and me. teors is matter of great interest," Ralph B. Larkin in North American Review.

Coekades and Ruttona.

1ne cockade originated simply in t1En knot of ribbons or strings by which the broad flaps of the seventeenth cen. tufy round hat were 'cocked' Ot drawn up to the brim in fine weather. and thus originated the three cornered hat as well as the cooked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about the usage, as the ig. aorant assert. The same strings sur. vive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries in Great Britain, in the strings of the hats worn by French cures and Span. 1sh and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom 1or military men to "cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served. and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the "black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform. In an old Scotch song of Shirramuir, citing "Woodword's Her. aldry," we read of "the red coat lads with black cockades," and knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot, in the form of rosette of ribbon, survived, just as did the buttons on (he backs of our coats, which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marching.-"Jus- tice of the Peace"

Churchgoers who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss the "dear old phrase" concerning squires and places where they sing" ;" and in time the old fashioned "quires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling. "Choir" was a most unnecessary out rage upon the language. The old Eng fish "quer'' or "quere" became quite naturally "quyer" or "quire," and so 1t remained until the end of the seven, teenth century, when somebody seems to have introduced "choir" bcause 1t looked more like the French "choeur," " as if that were a valid reason.

Locked Shah Tn rouse or commons.
 A shah of Persia, who made state visit to England in 1873, had curt- ous experience in the distinguished strangers gallery of the house of com- mons. He soon got tired of watching the legislators at work, but when he made a move to go he was told he could not leave the gallery. It hap pened at that moment that division was called, and in accordance with the practice which then prevailed all the doors of the house were locked until the vote was taken.
