In Mathewson the New York team
has great winning pitcher. In my es-
timation he Is about the greatest man
who ever tossed baseball. and the
rest of the pitching staff Is strong aud
dangerous. In spite of this fact the
Cubs as a team would rather go up
against Matty than any Of the big
pitchers today. In saying this do not
mean to exempt number Of weaker
pitchers we are always confident Of
beating. but Of the recognized big
league pitchers today Matty 10 our
choice. My reason for making this
rather astonishing statement Ii that
Matty Is a careful. steady. straight"
pitcher. He always pitches for the
plate and does not try to intimidatp u
batter by such tricks as throwing for
his head or trying to Craze bis shins.
We know that Matty has wonderful
control over the bali.-John Evrrs

Athens 4 third Of her citizens. At

Even as late as It'll an epidemic Of
the bubonic plague cost Mo~cow nearly

the last Parthinn arrow the disease re
tired to India and the region westward
toward the Mediterranean. which
seems to have been its original home.
and after 1850 Europe and Africa were
free.
II broke out again In 1904 from a
peculiarly virulent strain that had Its
habitat In certain districts of northern
China. The army supply trains car
ried the rats and the rats carried the
bacillus pestis from the Manchurtan
frontier to the sea. From there 1t
made its way back by 1unks to Can

gust Of 1894 1t killed upward Of 100000
persons Thence the Chinese strain OF
the plague bacillus passed by ship to
Bombay and difused itself through
India. Five million persons died Of
the pestilence in India during the six
years that ended with 1908. and 1t was
only with 1909 that the annual NOR
tality fell below 200.OOO.

LIGHTNING BOLTS.


The Safest and Most Psriious Place.
In . Thundsrstorm.
What is the safest place In thun-
derstorm? The question is apropos at
the moment. and T. P.'s London Week
~ supplies some answers. As rule.
the safest place Is inside a building
which is provided with perfect light
ming conductor. The conductor. how
ever. must have NO defects. II It be
broken or have a faulty earth connec-
ton 1t is then source of grave danger
In an ordinary dwelling house. unguard-
ed as it usually is against lightning. a
safe place is the middle Of the largest
room. where one is away from the
walls. or II still safer precaution u to
lie on an iron bed drawn out from con-
tnct with the wall.
The most dangerous places In the
house. we are further told. are near
the bell wires or an open window or
the fireplace. Outside the house the
places OF danger are proximity to walls
and buildings and Iron fences. An
other danger Is a crowd. The vapor
which rises from crowd tends to
lend fash toward the crowd In the
open country one of the most danger
GUS places is the bank Of river. Ave
nues of trees. lakes and hedges are
likewise dangerous. II any one doubts
the danger OF hawthorn hedge let
him tnke his stand at safe distance
during respectable storm and watch
the effect. The lightning will dart
along the hedge like sheets Of Gre. II

much the better for his safety.

now in Jail. Dressed as working
man and carrying a bucket filled with

the habit Of calling at fats. saying he
had come by the landlords orders
to disinfect the place. During the
operation such IN unpleasant smell
was emitted that the tenant hastily
decamped to the room farthest re

that any man had the nerve to ex
