New York oct. 1S.-Superb pitching by
Mathewson. hard hitting by Devore and
Doyle, and a little luck enabled the
Giants to win the third game OF the post
season series from the Highlanders at
tho Polo Grounds to-day. II was a fore
gone conclusion that Mathewson would
pitch, and the Hilltop fans seemed TO
anticipate defeat
Manager Chase pitted Ray Fisher. his
young college twirler. against the vet
eran, and after the first two innings the
Giants We're let down with one hit and
no more runs. But they gathered one in
the fist inning and four in the second.
and as the Hillmen scored only once the
victory was decidedly clean cut
Mathewson did not overexert himself,
except when the Hillmen threatened 10
do something. Matty allowed five hits.
one scratch, and also struck out nine
batsmen. Barring two rather excusable
errors by Doyle. he received faultless
support. The Hillmen made one hit
two-begger by HemphiI, up 20 the sew
enth inning. Then they scored one run,
which was wholly due 10 wild pitch and
a poor throw by Doyle. only two run
ners got as far as third base.
Matty used his head all the way, and
as a sample Of his judgment he out
guessed Chase when the latter tried TO
steal in the seventh by pitching wide
ball 70 Meyers, who nailed the Hnlmen's
leader with a perfect throw.
Giants Steal Bases.
The Giants ran the bases with reckless
daring. MltcheWs throwing was not up
TO the mark. and six bags were pilfered,
Doyle and Murray both stealing second
and third.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
How the Paving Value of Asphalt Was
Brought to Notice.

All forms of bituminous pavements,
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt. are in fact artificial
stone pavements. The industry started
with the use of the natura! rock as
phalt from the mines in the Val de
Trayers. Canton Neufchatel. Switzcr,
land. The mines were discovered in
1921. but it was in 1S49 that its utility
rs a road covering was first noticed
The rock was then being mixed for the
purpose of extracting the bitumen con
tanned in 1t for use IN medicine and
arts 1t is n limestone found impreg-
mated with bitumen, of which it yields
on analysis from to IA per cent.
1t was observed that pieces of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush
ed by the weight of wheels, and under
the combined influence of the traffic
and heat of the sun good road sur
face was produced. A macadam road
of asphalt rock was then made which
gave very good results, and finally in
1854 portion of the Rue Bergere was
laid In Paris of compressed asphalt on
a concrete foundation. In 1858 q still
larger sample was laid and from that
time 1t has been laid year by year in
Paris. From Paris 1t extended to Lon
don, being laid on Threadneedle street
In 1869 and Cheapside In 1870 and IN
successive years on other streets, and
then its use in street and road making
extended to other countries. Ex-

A Popularity of Dreams.

AS to dreams. there was discussion

marked that no man dreamed Of him

dream came the dreamer was always

danger and never did anything pic

The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in heat of $50 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
