the sporting fraternity I've been the
victim of touches of all sorts, from
the hurry-up or rushing touch to the
long distance touch made over the
telephone, but it remained for one of
my ball players to dig up a new
method for a touch. This player now
is out West and today I got a regis
tered letter from him touching me
for fifty dollars. Can you beat it!
He certainly wanted to make sure
that I would get his letter.
Did you send it?" asked the by
stander.

could I help it when he told me in
the letter that If / rushed the fifty
through he would play the game of

THE DOOM OF THE
CHESTNUT TIRED

The chestnut-tree will soon be moth
ing but tradition in America. It
is being destroyed by a mysterious
disease which, scientists concede, can
not be cured. In New York City
practically every chestnut-tree is al
ready dead over Long Island this
tree malady is travelling fast. It is
present in Connecticut, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, Delaware and to- some
extent at least, in Maryland and Mas
sachusetts. The whole chestnut-tree
area in America which reaches as
far south as northern Viryinia and
as far west as Buffalo, is infected.
Only a few scattered trees can pos
sibly escape.
This blight was first discovered in
the New York Botanical Gardens five
years ago, and ever since scientists
for it. In this they have been un-
successful. The chestnut blight is a
disease that can best be compared to
a cancer Of the human body. In some
way that even the most expert or
foresters cannot determine it eats in
to the living tissue of the tree. It
does not attack any other tree than
the chestnut. But it spreads from
one to another Of these with startling
rapidity.
Though the disease was discovered
five years ago, the progress it has
been making has only just been fui-
ly realized. With no possibility OF
stamping the blight out, scientists can
now only sorrow that American for
estry did not come into its own q
quarter of century ago. Then tho
chestnut might have been saved.
Prompt chopping down years ago
would have arrested the epidemic.
Now the devastation is too complete;
the plague has too much Roadway. In.
Forest Park, Brooklyn, alone there are
standing sixteen thousand dead chest
nut trees.
The difficulty and danger are thaE
the disease spreads in almost the same
manner as does a plague among hui
man beings or animals. 1T is con-
tagious The blight forms on the
trees bark in tink pockets In these
there grow little spores or seeds. Tho
wind scatters the spores everywhere.
and any chestnut tree that any spore
lands on is doomed. The spores car
ry the contagion for miles. They
are also carried in the fur of squirrels
and inv the plumage of birds, and in
the end no tree escapes unless it Is
completely isolated. In this way for
years the blight has been creeping
through the chestnut forests and has
done its work. The blight does not
show itself in the bark until the tree
is thoroughly Observation-Disclosures s.

MoNGoosE GOT THE SNAKE.

logical Park was watching the in

day. when from behind the unwieldy

quickly and went in search of Head
Keeper Charles Snyder.
An investigation showed that the
snake had escaped in the night from
a ass-fronted cage in the snake col
lection. In spite of the cold weather
outside, the moccasin was full of life
when Curator Ditmars and Keeper
Snyder attempted to capture it. It
hid beneath the turtle and neither the
curator nor the keeper cared to roll
the turtle over to dislodge it. The
snake could not get into the exhibit
ton part of the reptile house. for all
the doors were closed and locked, but
there was danger for the keepers Sc
