Gunpowder and ARTILLERY.

There is abundant evidence that the
origin OF gunpowder and artillery goes
far back in the dim ages of the past
The HindoO code. compiled long before
the Christian era, prohibited the max
Ing of war with cannon and guns or
any kind OF firearms. Quintus Curtius
informs us that Alexander the Great
met with fire weapons in Asia, and
Philostratus says that Alexanders con-
quests were arrested by the use OF
gunpowder. Ii is also written that
those wise men who lived in the cities
Of the Gauges "overthrew their enc
miles with tempests and thunderbolts
shot from the walls"

FOR THE CHILDREN
A Jolly Game.

Summer time is the season for
games IL you are fond OF playing
with your friends here is a jolly, In
teresting game:
Every player except the one who
holds the office OF reader selects a
trade or profession. which he must re-
tain throughout the game. When all
have chosen their trades the reader
opens a book ut random and reads a
passage from II aloud. but when he
comes to any common noun he looks
ut one OF the tradesmen, who must In
stantly name some article that he Is
supposed to have for sale or some i'm
plement connected with the exercise
of his craft. BY this substitution of
one noun for another the most pathetic
passage is converted into an indescrib-
able tumble OF absurditles.
In the following tale the quoted
words are supposed to be supplied by
the different tradesmen In the place Of
the nouns omitted by the reader: One
offered the president bucket" Of the
most precious ''airshlps:" another a
curious piece of u riding boots" made
by Reynolds the great: another piece
Of "mince pie" from the looms OF ia
pan; another porous plaster" said
to broil meats to perfection; another
an automobile" I'm a warming pan"
inlaid with ivory; another a coffin"
full Of lemon juice" spread with
pearls" "A rocking horse" was
brought from Alaska. and another a
gold brick OF exquisite beauty from
the depths of the ocean.

VIII the Maine BE Raised?

informative from Washington In
connection with the long delayed ap-
preparation cur raising the Maine"
gives reason for the belief that the
wreck may never be raised intact as
1t is today. Recovery of the bodies Of
the heroes Pntombed in the mud en-
banked hold seems to be the only thing
positively provided for. The elimina-
ton OF an obstruction to navigation
and the probing Of the mystery Of the
explosion in 1898 are incidental in the
plans discussed.
The appropriation Of 100000 seems
small for Il thorough Job. Recovery
and fitting burial OF the bodies might
be accomplished at that cost. This
feature has always been popular de-
mand. But for that the impeachment to
navigation would probably have been
disposed Of long ago by dynamiting.
Dynamite will bury the wreck and its
mystery nj one blow. II the bodies
are first recovered the public probably
will cease to take interest in the sink
ing of the Maine.

Make Every Ball Player Real Sharpshooter
By Making Him Follow in Mattys Footsteps
BY Tip Wright.

Christy Matthewson says his
control land he has the best of
any pitcher in the game) is due to
the fact that he practiced throw
ing at a mark when a youth.
Surely nothing in base ball is
more important than accurate
pegging, and the man who can be
depended to shoot the ball to the
mark every time he lets go of it.,
other things being equal, gets the
fat jobs.
If throwing at mark was good
enough for Christy Matthewson,
why isn't it good enough for every
pitcher? None of them have any
thing noticeable upon the Giant
star.
And If perfect control was Sc
cured. by big Six" by throwing at
mark, it will improve the con-
troll of men now in the game. And
as for youngsters who are consid-
ering base bali as a future means
of livelihood, well. they cannot
follow in the footsteps of a bet
ter leader than Matty.
Why wouldn't it be a good
scheme for every manager to have
his pitchers, catchers and infield-
ers practice throwing at a target
during the training season? To
work up interest they might offer
a prize to the man making the
best showing, or the greatest i'm
provement, at the end of the train
ing season.
1t wouldn't require much time
and very little money to rig up
target and an arrangement to re-
turn the balls in every training
camp, and the benefit would more
than compensate.
A target similar to those used
in archery tournaments, solidly
backed, would prove just the
thing. These targets are made of
straw, and are intended for rough

TWO WAYS To COUNT
fighter OUT I'M RING

Tom Scanlon, known east and

wrestling and boxing thrive, as

was the third man in the ring at

pals were a big, raw-boned harp
and an equally big negro.
Neither man knew much about
the finer points of the game, but
both could fight, believe me. In
the first round the darkey copied
the white man on the jaw and he
went down as if he'd been kicked

or to hit the edge of a ring as
if they were trying to get the ball
across the corner of the plate.
This practice would be more eff
fective than throwing to the catch
er over a plate, because there
would be no question about the
decision. Every man throwing
would know just where the ball
went, instead of guessing whether
it went over the corner of the
plate or missed it entirely.
