BACK TO NATURE.

/ long for life, for the real thing;
Not the dawdling of dreamy days,
Nor the kind that the rawhide poets
sing
In carefully roughened phrase.
| ask for no glimpse of the timid deer
That fees from the hunters call.
Let me get out there with the crowds
that cheer
The bunch that is playing ball.
Back to the primal state where man
Is close to old natures heart,
Where we're all on the plane where
we once began,
Unpublished by time and art;
Where the spirit of contest surges
fast
And the chances that may befal
Are eagerly waited from first to last
Where the bunch is playing BALI
Let the dreamer go out meath the
stars so bright
And defy the lightning's play.
The stars are where they belong, all
right,
And the lightning is miles away,
And the untamed beast will be on the
run
If he hears your footsteps fall.
The placid wildwood | fain would
shun,
The signal hear, "Play BALI"
Let me bark to the shout and the
battle cry
AS the foe is put to rout;
Let me dodge the missiles that swift
ly fly
When the umpire says you're
out!"
Let me lift my voice with the general
throng,
Prince and grounding and all,
Where nature is unrestrained and
strong,
Out there where the bunch plays
ball.

BACON A MURDERER?
Dr. Owen Seeking Shakespeare's Head
In Box Under River Wye.

DIR. Orville w. Owen, who is digging
diligently in the mud Of the river Wye,
in England, for manuscripts which be
believes were hidden there by Francis
Bacon, is after bigger game than has
been supposed.
The American declares that the ci-
pher, which is guiding his operations,
reveals that Bacon killed Shakespeare
and buried the poets head in the box
which is now being reclaimed from
the river bottom. The top of what the
American thinks is the hidden cache
was reached by the sounding rods,
but there is a considerable layer of
clay to be removed before the logs or
planking forming the cover can be re-
moved.
Despite the contention of the ar
chaeologists that DR.. Owen is only eX-
cavating structure used as a founda-
ton for a Roman bridge, the investi-
gator insists that everything tallies ex-
actly with the cipher forecast and
maintains that Bacon recognized the
adaptability of the disused bridge
structure as place for the burial of
his manuscript.
DR.. Owen is working on the property
of the Duke of Beaufort. He was di-
rected to this particular spot, he says,
by the cryptograph which Bacon left
in order to establish after his death
that he was the author of the Shake
spearean plays and various works cred
tied to others.

Dogs that work in Belgium arc
bought and sold in the open market
like horses, and if strong and well
broken they bring from $50 to So
each. In manufacturing towns there
is the usual number of horses, but for
every horse you will see two dogs in
harness on the streets. Early in the
morning market women drive them
hitched to carts loaded down with veg
etables. The grocer, the expressman,
the butcher and baker, all employ
dogs to do the work Of horses. They
are much quicker than the horse, and
size for size they can draw heavier
load. 1t is said the dog in harness
will go twice as far as the horse with
in the same time. They are driven in
wagons, single, double, treble and four
INLAND, They are often kept in liv-
cry barns like horses, are fed generally
on black bread and horsefesh and cost
in board from 5 to 6 cents per day.
They are sleek and well kept and ap-
pear to enjoy their work.-Louisvills

YOUNG WOMAN HAS
TASTED FOR MONTHS.
She Believes That an Angel Is Prcvid-
ing Her With Food.

One of the most remarkable facts
known to medical science is recorded
in the New Jersey State hospital at
Morris Plains concerning Annie Gr-
shella, a thirty-year-old Austrian girl.
who has taken practically no nOurish-
ment since Feb. I. The girl said that
ever< morning at 4 o'clock an angel
visited her bedside and brought celes-
tial food. Nothing could prevail upon
the young woman to eat. but in spite
of her long fast she seemed well 9TH
erwise. Specialists who have exam
ined the girl believe that she is re-
ligious fanatic, but the most peculiar
part of the whole performance is that
the young woman has retained her vi
tality and even walks around the hos
pital
Annie Geshella worked in q mill, ana
the first time that she became known
to the hospital authorities was about
four years ago, when she went to the
general hospital for some treatment
At that time it was plain, according to
the physicians, that the young woman
was mentally deranged, for she an
nounced one day that she was going to
die on Easter Sunday. The girl prayed
repeatedly and said that she wanted to
leave this earth.
On Feb. half an orange and some
other light nourishment were given to
her. During the following week she
drank two glasses of milk. but from
then on she protested, saying that an
angel brought her a small glass OF
wine and a piece Of bread early each
morning.
Although there was practically no
possibility that the girl was receiving
food from the outside, the strangeness
of the situation caused the supern-
tendent to have the girls room watch
ed at night. OF course no stock was
taken in the assertion about heavenly
food, but on account of no loss of vi
tality it was thought best that some
one be on hand at O'clock. Accord.
ing to the hospital authorities, nothing
developed during the vigil, but the girl
kept on refusing to eat
While the girl is slight and not par
ticularly healthy looking, the physi-
clans say that she worked hard before
being taken to the hospital, and, in
addition, the nature of the illness
which she said caused pain in her
side has not been determined But the
fact that the girl is somewhat below
the average health, it was pointed out,
made her long fast all the more as
founding.

ABOUT SCIENTIFIC
MANAGEMENT.
Senator AldriCh'S Comment on
New Economic Magic.

Senator Aldrich was talking about
scientific management" the new mag
ic that is supposed to double the out
put of the bricklayer, the shoveler, the
hodcarrier and so forth.
"The bricklayers notions" he said,
"are reduced from eighteen to five in
the laying of each brick by scientific
management. Wonderful!
"It's as wonderful, in fact, as the
Shakespeare story. a Lenten lecturer,
you know, happened to say that
Shakespeare died on the day of his
birth. This caused an auditor to ex-
claim:
Shakespeare must have under
stood scientific management, then! A
genius that could turn out "Othello"
and "Hamlet" and all the rest of It in
an ephemeral twentyfour hours Ger.
tainly must have had scientific man.

1t may not be amiss to say few
words about this great structure of
the Bergen Archways. AS already
stated in the press and in the Erie
folders, Bergen Archways was origin
ally called the "Open Cut" and five
years were required to complete it,
The work on this stupendous en-
gineering work was begun October
16, 1906, and was completed Decem-
Der, 1910. 1t is not generally
known that it was through the in
defatigable energy and patience of
President Underwood that this CO.
lossal undertaking was completed.

Footprints.
Nature had nothing to do with the
formation Of It, so much was clear
enough. It had been cut out by hand!
and evidently with infinite labor.
Flashing his bulls-eye owe it did
not enable him to see the end OF 1t,
but it did reveal a series Of nctches
running straight up the two opposite
surfaces. The only purpose they could
serve would be to make possible the
ascent of the chimney.
Jeanne followed his gaze, and then
the two looked at each other, com
pletely puzzled.
Some m must have made it." she
said; and it must have been fright
Aully hard to make-a tunnel right up
through the ice like that. But what
in the world can they have made 1t

l would on a turnpike. Yes, really"
With that and a nod Of reinsurance,
he scrambled up into the mouth of the
long chimney. He had taken his
bull's-eye with him, so the girl was
left in the dark. She dropped down
on the heap of bear skins to wait for
him.
She had no means Of measuring the
time, and 1t seemed a perfectly In
terminable while before she heard
Cayley returning down the ice chin
ney. Had she known how long 1t real
ly was, she would have been justified
in feeling seriously worried about MIN

seeming duration of his delay to the

nothing to do. Even at that she was

There was a great frozen lump OF
brownish-green vegetation, which they
afterward identified as the edible
scurvy grass to which Captain Field

That was all, or they thought 1t was
but just as they were about to re
trace their steps to the hut, Cayley
happened to glance up. The roof OF
the cave was not very much higher
than It had to be to permit him to
stand erect in 1t, something under sew
en- feet; but here at the further end
of 1t he saw a circular, chimney-like
hole, about two feet in diameter, lead
ing straight upward through the solid
ice in the issure.

we've got here is just so much clear
gain, and 1t will be immensely Valu-
able to us, though it isn't what we ex-
pected. The fact that 1t is their super
fluffy, the things they hadn't any par

make what we've found here any the
less valuable to us. That pile Of bear

the theory that the longer they lived
here, the more they grew like beasts
the more content with the beasts

taking the trouble to provide them

creases. Other means of arriving at
similar result are admission of air
through positively controlled valves
interconnected with the usual butter
fly throttle, or by devices that reduce
the orif1ce of the atomizing nozzle.
In many carbureters made for auto.
mobile uses the floats and float cham
bers are made concentric in form, sur
rounding the atomizing nozzle, the
purpose being to maintain the level of
fuel in the nozzle, regardless of fore
and-aft or lateral fitting Of the We
Iicle.
In flying machine this seems hard
ly necessary, because longitudinal
fitting never under normal conditions
can exceed the comparatively flat an
giles of gliding or ascending, while
lateral fitting is compensated for by
the centrifugal force set up in turning,
which acts upon the liquid within the
float chamber as we'll as upon other ell
ements In the machine.
Many of the foremost designers

favor positive fuel injection into the
cylinders in place of carbureters. This
positive form admits of much closer
regulation than is possible with the
carbureter. Because the injection may
be timed, 1t permits of high compress
sions without preignition, the fuel in
lection being delayed until the igni-
ton is wanted.
Obviously one of the chief objec-
tons to the general employment of
fuel injection is that of communicating
the fuel to the different cylinders
without the Objectionable scheme Of
employing a plurality of pumps, one
for each cylinder. This, besides add
ing complication, scarcely will admit
of such adjustment as to give exactly
uniform results in all of the cylinders
difficulty which is no greater than
that of equalizing the intake manifold
from carbureter so as to produce
uniform feeding.

gage to and from Mecca. For time the payment
of "hush money!" or annual allowances to the
sheikhs of some of the tribes by the government,
kept them quiet But recently Rizza Pasha,
formerly military governor of Jerusalem, now in
charge of the post at Medina, has attempted to
hold stronger hand the unruly tribes and
he discontinued the payment of the "allowances."
This led the Bedouins to attack the railway sta
lions, tear up the track, etc. This was in the far
south.
The troubles at Karak were precipitated by an
attempt Of the government to enroll the Bedouins
and dtsarm them. This applied not only to the
Nomadic tribes but to the towns people and vii
layers, many of whom are Christians. An incident
illustrative Of how this operates occurred the other
member of a wealthy Christian family of the town
was in the fields with of his men, AS usual
and necessary in this parts, he was armed. A
Turkish officer with a few soldiers attempted to
dsarm him and take his rifle, resulting in his
shooting and killing the officer and in he and his
men being at once shot by the soldiers His broth
err was apprehended and taken to Damascus.
It seems premature to attempt to disarm the
people OF these towns and villages that ex-
posed to the attacks of the Bedoun, and in seek
ing to do so the government is facing difficulty
with which it will be hard to cope.
It Is thought the government will be able to
put down the present uprising without much de-
lay 1t is most unlikely that the disturbances will
extend far beyond their present area.

extend the jurisdiction of the government. The
Pasha of Jerusalem, with his retinue of civil and
military officials, at that time gathered the Be-
douins OF the region, and gave them presents and,
with great pomp, read message from the Sultan.
AS part of the ceremonies many of the Bedouin
boys were brought together to receive presents of
clothing, etc., and to be circumcsed But a
port was started that this would mark them for
being taken as soldiers later and they fled from
the proposed rite.
These government stations and the at
te1npts of the officials to ngratate themselves
with the Bedouins hitherto not subject to the gov
eminent, were in pursuance of policy adopted by
the Constannople authorities about 20 years since
looking to breaking up the old nomadic and indie
pendent life and habits of these of Ishmael

Of the government, and finally to disarm and enroll
them with view to military service and tax-evy-
ing However but little has been accomplished
along these lines.
The building of the Mecca railway, which
hoped would forward the government policy has,
instead, led to complications and conflict. The
road has had to be constantly patroed by mounted

of thousands of Moslem pilgrims now in Mecca for
their great and annual feast, the Aid ell Kebir. If
the caravan route from Mecca to Jeddah on the
Red Sea- is also held by the Bedouin it would close
the way out to the thousands of pilgrims from

call for prompt and decisive action The limited
food supply at Mecca would be quickly exhausted
and could not be easily replenished.

that Sami Pasha, who has recently succeeded in
