Ethereal asphyxia" Is more than a
picturesque phrase. 1t is a formidable
reality, realized by large proportion OF
persons who ascend to great heights on
seemingly slight support. The average
man experiences giddiness and some
times loss OF nervous control when on
lofty perch with narrow foothold
That aviators are subject to such sensa-
tions is entirely supposable, and 1t may
well be that the circumstance accounts
for some Of the accidents which have

The scheme TO put a running track. a
bowling green and other such things in
Battery Park is rightly condemned. on
the ground that Battery Park is park
and not an athletic field, and the con-
demnation is emphasized and confirmed
by the fact, as stated. that the park is
not suited for those things. AS a park.
despite the trespassing of the elevated
railroad, it is useful and attractive. 1t
would be folly to spoil il as park for
the sake OF something else for which 1t
is not suited and which could not be ad-
equately provided there.

gate a considerable territory.

in conjunction with the dry farm
ing station is an irrigation ex-
pcrimenting plant No one at
present it seems has the money TO
cxpend to try this matter out on
good sized scale, and those who
have are AT present unwilling 10
make the outlay. We believe that
with your Influence the Govern
ment could be induced TO see the
necessity of such work. In this see

If 1t were not for the countless hosts of dsst particles that float. separately invisible. in the atmos- phere. there could be no rain drops. snow crystals. or hailstones. From perfectly dustless atmosphere the moisture would descend in ceaseless rain without drops The dust par ticles serve as nuclei about which the varor gathers. The snow crystal Is the most beautiful creation of the aerial moisture. and the hailstone is the most extraordinary. The heart of every heilstone is a tiny atom of dust Such an atom, with a little moisture condensed about 1t is the germ from which may grow a hail stone capable of felling a man or smashing window.

Victorious Cananea Win Be al Warren Park on Sunday

Arrangements have been made for a return engagement" between the Bisbee and Cananea ball teams at Warren park next Sunday afternoon With a crippled team the Bisbee bunch dropped two games to La Ca. nanea Saturday and Sunday. The team was not the best that Bisbee Is able to corral and Captain Kelly is confident that CanRnea can be taken into camp.
 Ross Champion will be in condition to go in the box by Sunday afternoon and will be in the box for the locals. Reardon, the man who budaloed the locals at Csnanea Sunday, will prob ably be fin the box again for Cananea.
 The local team will be greatly strengthened for the Sunday game Chapman. who led the league in field ing this summer, will probably play, first base and the outfield will be i'm proved. This. according to Captain Kelly. was one of the weak points Of the team that played Cananea. The price Of admission will be 50 cents and the fans should hand over the four bits gladly and eagerly. The boys have given the district good sport tho whole summer without re. muneratiOn, and now when they have chance to grab q little change" as Mutt says, and at the same time give value received, the fans should turn out as a unit.
