The st. Louis Browns, like the Nation
ais, seem to have solved the first base
problem by placing Mig Clarke. the
catcher, on the bag. Here is what the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch has to say
about the matter: Two days work is
no criterion of a mans real worth at
any position on a ball club, but the
Browns seem improved with Jay Jus
tin Clarke on first base. The fact that
Manager Wallace delayed in putting
Mig at the first sack has caused some
comment among the close followers Of
the team.
However, 1t is pointed out that Wal
lace, until just lately, could not AFFORD
to use Clarke any place but behind the
bat because of the injuries to Jimmy
Stephens. Stephens met with a severe
accident on the teams early visit to
Detroit and was out of the game for
more than a month. When he was
ready to resume play he had to go
about 1t gradually.
Now that Horseshoe James is him
self again, Clarke can be spared for
other duties, and the indications are
that he will continue at the first cush-
ion. provided, of course, that Stephens
remains himself and Paul Krichell con-
tinues the good work he has shown in
his few outs"
The wonderful hitting of Fred Lu-
derus Is making him talked of through
out the country. Although the first
baseman of the Philadelphia Nationals
did some hard hitting in the spring,
1t has been only during the present
month that he has created a sensation
by his stickwork. The young slugger
appears to have just struck his stride,
and all pitchers now look alike to him.
The following table shows what Lu-
derus has done in each game played so
far this month:

THE HOME RULE SITUATION

Every late report from the House
of Commons adds new hope for the
early attainment of Irish Home Rule.
The Veto bill is still being debated
in the House of Commons, but Mr.. T.
P. O'Connor predicts that the debate
will not continue for many days more.
The Tories realize that they are on
the losing side and that further re-
sistance would be futile.
But the debate has not been in
vain. Some of those who are out of
sympathy with the Irish Party have
been prone to interpret Premier AS

SOME LARGE FIGURES.

Modern Christianity is split up into
about 1855 different sects. This in
cludes Catholicity which strictly
speaking is not sect for it is not
cut off (Which is the original mean
ing of the word) but is rather the
trunk from which the others have been
cut off. 1t is interesting to know that
the trunk has still practically as many
followers as all the branches put to-
gether. The number of Christians in
the world is estimated at about ATT
millions. OF these more than 23O mil
lion are adherents of the Catholic
Church. The population of the earth
is estimated at about billion and
half. The Christian population is less
than one-third of the total popula-
ton of our globe, and the number of
adherents of the Catholic Church is
nearly one.sixth of the earth's total
population.
When We take into consideration the
great odds against which the church
had to work, and see that at the end
of nineteen centuries it is accepted
as the true church by one-sixth of the
earth's population, can We not hope
for great things in the future? AS
Stunning that the membership will be
increased in the future in the same
proportion to the number of workers
as in the past, there is every reason to
believe before many centuries pass it
will be far stronger than all the other
creeds combined.
Another consideration is the influ
ence which the Catholic Church must
have in consideration by the sects of
religious unity. If congress we're to
be held at which the various churches
were permitted to vote according to
their membership, the Catholic church
could practically outvote the COM
bined opposition of all the other
creeds. The only way that real unity
can ever be realized is by the return
of the sects to the trunk from which
they separated.

The small boy grinned, but made no
reply. The tall man suffered out
something uncomplimentary about red
headed kids in general, and passed
into the waiting room.
A stranger, who had overheard the
one-sided conversation, approached the
boy, and asked him why he had not

SCIENCE AND SPACE,

The progress that has been made in
the last few decades in the perfect
ing of instruments for making as
Economical observations is truly re-
markable. From the low power tele-
scope OF thirty or forty years ago to
the great high power Instruments Of
the present day with the added facili-
ties Of making clear, distinct and ac-
curate photographs of bodies millions
Of miles away in space is broad
step. At the Lick Observatory on
Mount Wilson in California sixty
inch telescope with all the latest
facilities for photographing the
heavens is in use. Through it the en-
istence of thousands of stars hidden
away In the recesses of space has been
revealed to man. With it photographs
have been taken that seem to show
worlds in the making, worlds made
and worlds In the last stages of de-
cay. At least it seems to reveal
masses of disorganizcd nebulous mat
ter out Of which, on the assumption
OF the reality of the nebular hypothe-
sis, worlds may evolve in the millen-
NUNS to come. Perhaps, however,
what appears to be masses of nebula
are only groups of stars so distant as
to produce an impression on a photo
graphic plate similar to that which
nebula would produce.
No human mind can ever imagine
the greatness Of the universe. To us
distances of thousands of miles on the
earth seem great, but when we are
told that light travels at the rate of
about one hundred and eighty six
thousand miles per second and that
the light from certain stars reaches our
earth only after hundreds of centuries
have elapsed, how can we comprehend
what is meant any more than to form
in our minds a vague idea OF vast
raised sufficiently we might conceive
Of our little globe as being no more
than molecule of the larger unit. If

is the effect Of an intelligent Cause)
