The impressions will continue.
and probably deepen as time
flows on.
1t may be we'll now to mention
some of the peculiar features OF
the late revival meetings:
/. The congregations every
day were larger, especially at
night when the capacity of the
Presbyterian church was tried
to the utmost. On Friday even
ing of last week a thousand peo-
pie were supposed to be in at
tendance-the largest gathering
I'D to that time. These large
gatherings revealed the real in
terest of the people in the reviv-
al.
2. DR.. Toys preaching was
powerful and pungent. He did
not mince words but spoke in
plain, true, powerful English,
lust as if he meant for the peo-
rle to understand and think.
Some preachers speak in terms
too scholastic for the average
church goer, and thereby render
their preaching of little effect.
But Evangelist Toy spoke to the
people in language which the peO-
ple could well understand. This
added not a little to the potency
Of his preaching.
Some fault was found because
the preacher made use OF Hell
fire" in trying to persuade men
to repent and live. But verify
he kept strictly within the bounds
Of. Bible terms. Help is the
Bible term for the bad mans
future. We do not see how an
honest evangelist can go about
his business without pointing Out
the path to come for the incOr-
rigible wrong doer.
And is it not better to preach
the truth as one sees it than Il
cover up the consequences OF evl
living in glittering generalities
DR.. Toy preached the word a.
Ae believes it. He warned peo
ple of their future peril, but als'
oftheir present wrong doing
He denounced card playing, poo
playing, dancing, whisky drink
ink as evils endangering tn
soul. He gave the PROCESSING
christians who indulge in thes
frivolities, to understand tina
they indulged at their peril, an

The Use of the Foot.
I'M the Philadelphia Ledger.


French savant, NJ. Lannelongue, in
a recent communication to the Paris
Academy of Sciences maintains that
among the yellow races, the Chinese,
the japanese and the Malays, the foot
is used as an organ of prehension. like
the hand, to a far greater extent than
is generally supposed. He says that
while in Toxic he saw young man
sitting in a. theater box grasping the
railing with his feet just as though they
were hands, ever and anon using his right
foot to scratch his left thigh. The fact that
the Japanese usually sit upon their heels
at meals and in the house develops eX-
IRENE suppleness and mobility in the feet
and the toes, and the prehensive function
is still further encouraged by the fact
that the Japanese who adhere to the
ancient customs wear forked stockings
and dispense with the in1iexible and con-
straining European shoe.
chinese. postmen navigate their boats
living down, steering with their hands
and rowing with their feet. The oar is
held between the big toe and the others.
The natives frequently use their feet to
collect and to pick up small objects lying
ON the ground, and sometimes even catch
mice with their toes. NJ Lannelongue
holds that the yellow races, who are able
TO use their feet somewhat IS the elephant
uses his trunk or the monkey his tall, en-
ioy q very considerable advantage in the
everlasting struggle for existence over
the less fortunate Caucasians, who are
able to employ their feet only for loco
motion purposes

SCOUTS Of MORE REAL
VALUE THAN MANAGERS
Umpire Dineen Claims a Great
Deal of Money Is Wasted
on Youngsters.

1t remains for Bill Dineen, gentle
man. umpire and erstwhile pitcher of
some of the best base ball known to
worlds championship history. to slip
across a remark that some base ball
club owners will do well to heed, says
the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch. In fact.
all magnates might take leaf from
Bills book.
1T seems to me-" remarked William,
Wednesday afternoon, in the course of
a fanfest. that it would be much more
to the point if a club would hire a
MISREPRESENTATION scout and five

is a world Of money wasted in at
tempts to secure promising new ma
terial The dearth of talent Of major
out their dragnets over the entire
country. and the sum total of money
spent is really appalling:
II believe COmlSkey invested some
thing like $500 for purchases and
drafts to build up this seasons club
and see what the result has been. APP
parently Commy has picked up but one
or two men to justify the expendi-
ture.
THE scout shoulders the RESPONSE
bility for such waste. He should be
a man of the highest base ball judg-
ment, and to him should be turned
over the task of developing the material
he selects. This should be aside from
the work Of the manager, whose sole
duty should be to conduct the team
aggressive and defensive campaigns.
Connie Macks great success In pick
ing young men almost out of the clouds
is doubtless due to the fact that he is
his own scout. and he develops his
own men besides.
..Giyen the material, any good base
ball intelligence can handle a club. di-
rect it's attack and hold it together in
good form through a season. But II
isn't by any means any old base ball
man who is able to unerringly put his
finger on material of the right sort.

HOW KILROY "GOT THEM"
Long and Tedious Practice Basis of
Success of Famous Pitcher.

Players of the present day are pror,.
to scott at the tales of the prowess of
'Matty'' Kilroy, better known as "Bazza-
formed marvels, writes Hugh S. Fuller
ton in the American Magazine. Most
modern pitchers declare that under pres
ent conditions kilroy would have been
failure.
Kilroy's success was due almost en-
tirelv to the ''bazzazaz" balk. which he
evolved by persistent training. He was
the only pitcher who ever baked without
balking-if such a thing is possible.
Kilroy explained to me, after his re-
tirement, his system of training by which
he acquired the 'baZZaZaZ balk."

.BR|TON PRAISES THE
BIG NATIONAL GAME
Lieut.. ShackIeton of Antarctic
Fame Is Impressed by
Base Ball.

CHICAGO, June LII now can see
why base ball is SO popular over here"
said Lieut.. Shackleton during a ball game
in Chicago recently. This remark was
drawn forth from the famous Antarctic
explorer when he saw Leftfielder Sheck-
ard Of the Cubs hurl himself forward
on the greenSward and scoop up a liner.
Shackleton. who was knighted by the
late Edward VII for his distinguished
service while sailing under the Union
Jack. Is an inbred sportsman and a
noted cricketer. What especially aston
ished him was the remarkable fielding
Of the American player. The writer had
the pleasure Of talking with him while
he was at the game, and the explorer
took occasion to remark on the catches
which were wonderful to him, but which
failed to draw even applause from the
fans.
You never see plays like those in
cricket, or. at any rate they come sell
DOM" he remarked. over in England
and in the colonies we cricketers can bat
better than they do here / believe, but
the fielders muff the ball lot. A catch,
which SO easy here, brings forth tumults
Of applause over there The reason l
presume Is that you are coached along
those lines here"
He also was delighted with the base
runner, and learned the technical points
of the game rapidly and accurately. The
constant remarks from the players during
the game was novelty to him, as In his
own national sport silence is the prime
factor.
The great explorer, lecturer-sportsman
would likely have been even more sur
prised had he known that the past year
has been remarkable for still further
advance In the game Of base ball in this
country Never before has the sport
f1ourished as 1t does today. One of the
hotbeds is in the middle west. where a
large number OF additional leagues have
been organized and launched. This
makes added responsibility for the Ma
tional Association of Professional Base
Ball Leagues, as they all come under
the sway of the minor organization. Also
it means more material for the big
leagues to draw from. All this promises
higher grade of play and further inter-
est in the game.

MEXICOaS CRATER LAKES.
Their Calm Restfulness Is Unlike
ANYTHING Else in the World.

From the Mexican Herald.
The mere words. crater lake." carry
with them a charm and mystery that
are akin to romance. But Mexico, with
all her romance, has never given
abroad any description of some of the
most beautiful crater lakes in the
world. Vale de Santiago. a little town
Of the state of Guanajuato, boasts four
Of the most perfect and beautiful Of
such lakes.
The village nestles among eleven
craters. all formed in some past age
by sudden explosions from the interior
of the earth. explosions that blew out
a great amount of earth, formed low
cones and subsidized without a flow OF
lava or other demonstration than the
single explosion. They are what are
known to science as Explosion era
ters."
La Alberca is one of the lowest Of
the craters. and on one side a portion
of the crater wall has fallen away, so
that the approach is very easy. A
edge one of the most beautiful views
in Mexico is spread out. Half a mile
across is the low line of the crater
wall. and down below it is the green
est of lakes, calm as plate of glass.
and perhaps the tiny boat which plies
the lake Is on the opposite side. close
below the walls OF basait which rim it.
These walls. which rise nearly one
hundred feet above the surface of the
lake. are part Of the native rock, which
was blown off like the cork OF a bottle
when the crater was formed. 1t rises
sheer and erect above the lake on
every side. The columns of basalt give
truly mountainous, almost Alpine.
touch to the scene.
Climbing down the steep road to the
level of the lake, the visitor has oppor-
tunities to drink in real beauty, which
here is more dignifed and more like
the old world than almost anything in
Mexico. The tropics are far distant,
and hGre. In the higher lands. verdure
is calm and beauty a thing OF gentle
touch.
The calm restfulness Of the crater
lake is unlike anything in the world.
One finds lakes and solitary pools in
forests or mountain fastness. and the
calm there is akin to witchery, but
they are stirred sometimes by passing
breezes, and the trees will wave above
in the wind. But in a crater lake there
is not a breath that will stir 1t. and
even a stone cast into it's bosom Gre
ates ripples that seem as though they
would be swallowed ere they are born
Peace is a word without a meaning I'M

AMATEUR SCOUT GOES
WITHOUT HIS REWARD
Couldn't Get Even $25 for
Finding Pitcher Addie
Joss of the Maps.

DETROIT, Mich, June 11.-Besides be-
ing one Of the greatest right-hand pitch
ers in the game Addie Joss of the Cleve-
land team is a newspaper man of some
note. Joss works with the quill during
the off season and turns out a lot of
good copy, especially valuable on account
of his intimate knowledge of the game
and the men behind the base ball foot
lights. While grinding out readable
stories Of the other fellow the long twirler
is sometimes the subject of a few him
self by other writer's, however. Tip
Wright has recently sprung one to the
effect that the man who discovered Joss
was promised SO, but didn't receive
even that modest sum for his grand piece
Of discovery work. Bob Gill1s, the old
Southern League manager, is responsible
for the story which runs as follows:
; About ten years ago." says Gilks, IT
was running the Toledo team in the In
Prof. Lewis. the finger billiardist and
base ball statistician. came to me and
said: 'Gilks. I've found a pitcher who
is a wonder: He's playing college and
semi-pro ball in the wilds Of Wiscon-
sin. and If you get him and he makes
good all 1 want is SIS. His name is
Joss
Il went after Joss and signed him.
When he showed up at Toledo he looked
like an animated bean pole. He seemed
about six and one-half feet tall and
weighed more than seventy-five pounds,
but not much more.
Joss was a weakling then. He would
go into a game and pitch every kind Of
curve and bender for three innings.
Then he'd get tired and I'd have to take
him out. He complained of pains. and
l took him to a doctor. who decided
Addie had growing pains.
Joss went along this way all year,
and next season he showed up sick
again. The doctor gave him some pills
and cured him. and Addie grew strong.
He filled out and began to pitch like
whirlwind
Joss did so well the second year
knew some big league club would
cided to go to Adde'S home. invite him
to spend a few weeks in Toledo and
keep him under cover so no one would
find him.
This was just before Easter. and
Addie didn't want to leave home until
after that day. He persuaded Strobel
to return to Toledo, promising to fol-
low later. And a couple Of days after
ward Bill Armour slipped into Juneau
with Charlie Somers' bank roll and
signed JOSS"
This is the story told by Bob Gilks.
He doesn't include the fact. however.
says Wright, that Strobel never paid
Lewis that $25 for turning up Addie
Joss, although he admits 1t was with
the understanding that he receive this
much that Lewis tipped on the where
abouts of the present American League
star.
