The Keokuk team went to Hannibal
this morning to open the last series
away from home of the season. 1t
was thought for a time yesterday that
the series would have to be played ia
Keokuk, as the park was under water,
but the club was advised to make the
trip late in the day.

Hawk Joins In Duel.

In many ways Hawk, the opposing
twirler, pitched almost as remarkable
a game against the Indians He is
Quincys new star who has been shin
ing there and to say that he is clever
is hardly true appreciation. But one
clean hit was made by Keokuk, that
being Reichle's second safe one of the
day. The hits Reichle and Penning-
ton made were both touched and
might have been fielded. He struck
out only two men, but in six innings
only three men faced him in each.
In the field Keokuk played neat
game of ball, the only mishap coming
to Pennington. The shortcomings of
the two catchers. Belt and Cavanaugh,
permitted three men to pilfer. but no
damage resulted Umpire Cleary,
the oficious little chap, gained the
thorough disgust of one hundred and
fifty bugs present when he ousted
latter part Of the game Prough had
made quick return and Cleary call
ed it ball, saving Prough had not
his foot on the rubber. To this Belt
made some kidding remark that was
all, and Cleary hot-footed him out of
the grounds. Cleary certainly pulls
off some bone-headed stunts once in
while, only because he has been
praised now and then throughout the
circuit and has been given credit for
being a strong man for the position.
But Cleary has to exercise his author
ity just to be doing something, and
it is in this that he exceeds himself.

How Game Was won.

keokuk made the one run that
spelled victory in the second inning
and with Prough going we'll there was
little danger of the Gems rubbing IN

round Reichle sent a low one out to
centerfield which Donahue was just
able to touch, but did not hold. Mil

Morris poked long fly out to right

ninth inning when Fleming was given
base on balls after Hartman had
struck out. Cavanaugh pegged wildly
to second when Fleming pilfered and
the runner was safe. with Burg IN

himself to the task and whitfield the

how, right in the heart Of the city,
where land is probably more valuable
than anywhere else in the world, this
garden came into existence.
The history of the matter is rather
curious This quaint old garden is in
reality the churchyard Of the vanished
church of st. Christopher-le-Stock-so'
called because of its proximity to the
Stock market (fsh and fesh), which
formerly stood where the Mansion
house is today. St Christophers was
pulled down in 1881, when the bank
was being enlarged, and the garden
of today is its old churchyard. 1t is
said that one cause Of the demolition
of the church was the fear lest 1t

TEACHER BUILDS ODD HOME

A house up In the trees is the un.
usual home being built in Minneapolis
by Prof. c. f. Digit OF the chair Of

When people ask Mr.. Digit why he
is building his house ten feet or more
or .he ground, his reply is: why
do you build your houses on the
grounds? Afterwards however, he ex-
plains.
Mr.. Digit says he is building his
house high for three reasons: First,
that the ground is low and damp, ow-
ing to the proximity of Minnehaha
creek; second, that he gets better
view, and third. that he gets more air
and sunshine.
The queer house Is supported on
iron piles. Il is rs by 20 feet, with a
cupola big enough for another room.
It has two living rooms and the usual
accessories. Outside it is of rough
plaster and tile, the floor peing OF
wood laid on cement TIE floors are
double spaced and a bot water heat
ing system will keep warm air under
them There are 10 windows in the
house, and under every window is
lattice work, admitting more air. This
will be arranged so that some Of the

to occupy his air bungalow all alone

EARTH AS A Thermometer

Az every one knows, the tempera-
ture of the earth's crust increases
gradually with the depth below the
surface The general rate of in
crease is about one degree Fahren-
heit for every feet Of descent, and
If this rate were invariable, a scale
might be marked on the wall Of a
mine shaft which would indicate the
temperature like the graduations Of
thermometer In fact, however, the
rate varies in different regions, and
two German scientists have recently
made the interesting suggestion that
these variations may be Of advantage
in prognosticating the existence Of
deep deposits Of coal and oil, and pos
sibly of other valuable minerals. The
presence Of such deposits causes alb
normal rise Of temperature above
them; but no deduction concerning
their presence can be drawn from
bore-holes less than 600 feet in depth
