The UnIucky Man on Foot.

In a few years aeroplanes will be as
common as automobiles are now, and
1t is obvious that the man on foot will
have little show. The auto scorcher
will be a harmless individual as COM
pared with the speed maniac overhead.
A man who will take to aeroplaning
must be naturally reckless to begin
with, and his recklessness will increase
with each flight. His boilers will burst.
and his engines will fly to pieces. and
there will be showers of hardware,
and big iron castings will hit the man
on foot and knock him into the ground
up to his shoulder blades. Every time
he walks around a block a falling mon
key wrench or claw hammer will dot
him on the head and make him sick
and weary. Another prospective evil
is the increase Of insurance agents.
There will be aeroplane insurance,
which will enable you to provide for
your widow and children in case an.
aviator falls On you and squashes you.
Insurance agents Of various kinds are
so thick now that it is impossible to
avoid them, and any scheme that
threatens to swell their ranks should
be denounced by press and pulpit

Cold Water Without leo.

Ice is not a necessity in order to Sc
cure cold water, for water can be
made sufficiently cool for drinking pur-
poses by putting 1t in a bottle or jug
and wrapping a wooden rag about the
latter, then setting it in a shallow dish
Of water and placing the whole outfit
In a cool place-if in a draft, all the
better. The principle involved is
found in the fact that when evapora-
ton takes place heat Is given off. The
WOODEN rag absorbs the moisture from
the dish below, which is evaporated
from the rag, cooling the water.-Sub-

Batting Practice.

Hugh s. Fullerton, writing on the
subject Of Batting in the American
Magazine, says:
"As in everything else, practice

practice now is INDUCED in by profess
sional players to an extent not even
imagined by the followers Of the game.
Major league players frequently spend
five hours a day batting and will re-
main and hit as long as they a
find any n to pitch for them. Almost
every club retains some broken down
pitcher or some aspiring youngster on
salary to pitch to the batters, who pay
him by contributions to pitch to them.
And, strangely, they love their solid
hits, even in practice. After the final
game Of the series for the Chicago
championship last fall, after playing
about 175 games, Frank Shuttle stopped
to hit it just once more"
