tracted delay, but when once permits

ton will proceed as rapidly as such
work can be carried out.
SO many disaprointments have been

During the past eighteen years Mr.

A teacher of English In Japan re- gently gave as an examination QueS. tion. What Is a yentilatorY' Besides the number of answers that were ap- proximateIy correct, there were two which indicated that the students must have oeen absent either in body or mind on the day when the school room ventilator had been discussed. The first was. ''The ventilator lives in the mountains;:" the second, "Colum- bus was great ventilator." When occasion offered the teacher reminded hs class that attention and application are requisite for acquiring knowledge and seriously asked them why any one should have given an answer such as the one concerning Columbus. Ons of the best sp0kesmen in the class essayed an explanation somewhat as follows:
 Columbus broughtnew ideas back t0 the old world: he changed the current of thought and opened a great door into the new and outer world: there fore he was a great yentilator."-. Youths Companion.

Mechanics Began Reporting To. day-Freddie Gibbs Comes in From Maine - Others Who Arrived

Reporting days, and the Mechanics are coming in one by one. No. 1 was rung up Saturday evening when Jerry Sweeney of Saratoga Springs, N. r., registered at the Atlantic. He was followed yesterday morning by Joe Phelan, the Albany High school boy. The former is an outfelde~ and the latter hurler, who has made a great name for h4mseu arounu Nem York State.
 The grandest of them all, Alfred "Hi'" Ladd blew into the hurg f~@-i East Greenwich, R. l., in the dark of last evening. It was 9:3O D. m. when he arrived, the young veteran taking to the feathers right away. It was an hour past his regular bedtime.
 This morning saw the arrival of three of the regulars, Bobby Stowe from New Haven, Freddie Gibbs from Saco Me, and towering Iver Swanson, from Crompton, R. I.
 Dory Miller and Joe Kasperak, be- ing Bridgeporters were long on the scene. The crew took to the big cush- during the morning, swapping stories of their past doing on the diamond. ''Hi'' Ladd remarked that he was a little skeptical about holding his cen ter field job, now that McCann had signed up number of youngsters to try TOT OulHelQ pUSlt1OnS. The CrOWO gave Hi the laugh when the latter stated that he would have to exert himself. Hi stated that he liked to see so many report, he mas seen many come and go in his days but he did not take to so many trying out for one position. Some of the number would have to depart. Hi also added that he did not just know how he --ouIa To h'++'r~ -h'~ Seae~~ c'rce he left here he had not touched bat, neither had he thrown d nall. Ill brought along with hum half a dozen bats, Which he had made special for him in Louisville. He was trying to make a few bargains with some of the players for the disposal of a few of the hickOries.
 Freddie Gibbs remarked that it was just as cold, if not colder in these parts than it was in Maine.
 Though a warm sun threw it's ray about today, Manager McCann dectd- ed that it was too cold for practice He told the boys they could have the day to themselves. but to be on hand in the morning, when probably training would be started. The boys lolled the afternoon away by taking in the bill at Polls.

Washina Your Hands.

When you go to the washstand and carefully wash your hands with a gen. erous application of soap and hard brush do not think for an instant that your hands are clean. The tenacious microbe refuses to be disturbed and cIings to the flesh. throughout the whole operation. There are some chem ical compounds which will dislodge the busy bacili to a certain extent. but not entirely. According to the in- vestigations of medical authority of the Prussian army. the best results in the direction of giving the hands a sanitary cleaning are accomplished by the use of alcohol. A bath of pure alcohol will remove about 99 per cent of the germs. Where it is desired to clean the hands hygienically 1t Is rec commended that the hands be not frst washed with water. for this will 90 adulterate the alcohol that 1t cannot accomplish it's work as effectively as otherwise.

will have to report unless the Ma tlOnal Commission reverseS the deciS- ion, which they will undoubtedly do.
 Owner Cameron thinks the race this year will be a fight among New Ha- the circuit the New Haven bunch are looked upon as second division cali bre.
 Says Cameron, "Yes, I expect to win the pennant. The material I have it is better than the material I had last year. You will remember that last year we were but four games behind and when you consider that there were 123 games played you will realize that that is a very small mar gin. An excellent feature of the team this year is an excellent out field and infield."
 Within the last few days Cameron has secured two new beavers, Love- day, a New Haven amateur, and a southpaw, and Bill Alderman, who halls from the back lots of Cleveland. Cameron is still trying to land Bill Crystal whom he believed he had lost a few weeks ago by Providence step ping in and getting first hold. Cry stall has not yet completed negotia- tions with the Greys and may sign up with the Wings.
 Sporting Life' contains the follow ing editorial comment this week on the Hoey case: f'The Connecticut lea gue may be the next to claim atten- tion of the public in an airing of troubles between magnates. Carl Pace, a young man from out of the West, bought the Waterbury club, it's f,o y1 ct he holds that he thought ne was buy ing it's players. When the purchase price had been paid and the proper ty turned over, MT. Pace discovered that one player of the name of Hoey. judged to be a valuable asset. had been sold to another club of the lea que. MT. Pace held that this play CT went with the hide of the Water bury club which he had bought, and made his plea to the magnates of the league who. by decisive vote, rul- ed against him. The young man from the west considers that, for Yankee shrewdness even in the State that is the limit, and he will appeal it is stated, to the national commission, or first perhaps to the national asso- tion If he makes haste the rights to the player may be settled in time for him to don the uniform in which he should properly be encaSed Detore the call to play ball is sounded in the nutmeg league. It is noted that the newspapers of the Connecticut circuit rather take the view that MT. Pace has been handed a wooden nutmeg. which in that particular section is equivalent to "gold brick in the west Sometimes newspaper writers particularly on the sporting page show instinctive knowledge of justice We shall wait and see whether the courts of baseball decide for MT. Pace or against him.

Lifa Tn the lev Arctic,

Tn the morning I was generally the one to waken first and would either start the alcohol lamp myself or call Astrup for that purpose. Our morning meal consisted of a lump of pemmi- can, six biscuits. two ounces of butter and two cups of tea each. As soon as this was finished everything was re- packed on the sledge. I then read the odometer. aneroid and thermometer and, taking the guidon, which had waved and fluttered over the kitchen throughout our hours of rest. from it's place. stepped forward and the next march was commenced. After from four to six hours of marching we would halt for half an hour to eat our simple lunch of pemmican and give the dogs rest and then after four to six hours Of travelling halt again and repeat the already described route Robert B.

ttiStoric Beauties.

The famous beauties of the world are wise when they leave no portraits of themselves Take Marguerite of Va lois. She was an immoral, dishonOr- able, criminal. scheming. interruptions villainess. but she was lowered with such charm that there was not jailer or an enemy she could not charm when she tried. No, nor a woman-not even the wives of her lovers. Men came from every country, taking year long journeys. only to see her and went away, after a little glimpse. saying they had "seen loveliness itself" Then one sees her portraits. Too much fore head. not enough eyebrow. straight nose and expressive mouth Gin one pie ture lovely mouth,-and that is all. Mary. queen of Scots. was very lovely three kingdoms battled because of her beacty-and yet her pictures leave one cold. Fouche said her portrait showed every trait of the lowest crim- inal type. That was before he knew whose picture he criticised.-London Truth

Lost Meanings.

'Those who care for the beginnings of things may be glad that the quill pen survives to remind us that the original pen was plucked from a bird" observes writer Germans and Frenchmen are in no danger of for getting that, thanks to their respec- tive words 'feder' and .plume.' but the English pen suggests a feather only when one chooses to think about it and recall the Latin 'penna.' Almost all our writing materials are no longer what etymologically they profess to be. Paper is no longer made of pa pyrus; pencil is not a little tail 'penicillus.' like a camel's hair brush; the lead of lead pencil is not lead. and the india rubber with which we erase its marks does not and never did come from India. Even of parch- ment there is probably not fragment in the country. except. perhaps. in a museum and coming from Pergamum, in Asia."-Chicago News.

 Chicago, April 3.-Harry Forbes, the ex-bantamweight champion who came back. began dick ering for a European trip. today. Forbes man. agers are endeavoring to match him with Digger Stanley, in London. Hugh Mcintosh may stage the bout.
 Paris, April 3.-After several post ponements the twenty round fight be- tween Sam McVey and Sam Langford, the American co'ored heavyweight pugilist, was pulled off Saturday night in the Cirque Paris. The fight ended in a draw, although Langford, who holds the heavyweight cham pionship of England, completely out chased his opponent. The hall was crowded to the limit. many persons of ia ;hionable society being among the spectators and when the referee declared the contest draw there was a noisy demonstration of disapproval. For nine rounds Langford landed on McVey as he pleased, and the latter showed signs of distress, but he came up somewhat fresher in the. tenth and from then or managed to drag through the contest. There was a great deal of infighting and the ref cree was constantly forced to inter- vene. The faces of both men showed signs of severe punishment at the end. The fight was for a purse of $10,000.
