 iron has trebled within the last twenty years, and the consumption of iron per head of the population rose within ten years from14 to I9O kilogrammcs. If that goes on. it will. according to this Statistician, last only ten years until all iron ore in Great Britain is used up For Germany he finds supply for thirty years. in the United States for fifty. in France for 700 years We pre- Sume that the situation is not quite as bad as represented by this specialist In any case. however. Germany and Great Britain have an urgent interest to preserve their own layers of iron ore for an emergency and get as much as possible from abroad. But in Spain. as well as in Sweden. the idea seems to gain ground that this valuable min eral ought to be reserved for the fu- ture industrial development of their own nationals. It is tO be feared that under the present circumstances. uu- less a brake is put on the output. the Spanish deposits will be exhausted af- ter thirty-five years and the Swedish ones within a century.

BALL FANS GALLERY
 OF NOTABlES
JOHN GARRISON,
Who Had Everything a Pitcher Ought
 to Have.

Everything a pitcher ought to have" is phrase which from too frequent using. has come to carry little weight. in conveying a picture of pitching perfection Handle these supcrlatives carclessly, and pretty soon they'll be commonplace. When you find man honestly entitled to Tn" Big Bouquet, throw it at him, but don't waste your verbal violets on the occasionally brilliant. Save them for the boys like John Clarkson.
 Clarkson. who is no longer with us. was the first of the pitchers who had all that it was desirable for a finger to carry into a game \ pitcher may have straight-arm jab that will dent cement Crandstand, foundation if the catcher lets it go by; or he may have set of curves that would make Frankie Bailey look angular, or a drop that trapezc performer would hesitate to take; or a supply of the cross fire stuff that would cause nine out of ten hattCrS to shrick for money. or. again he may have all these engaging accomplish mentS but if he hasn't something else to go with them, he isn't really d hundred per center.
 Your truly educated pitcher is going to know and bc ready for the pecul- far weakness of every man that bats against him That was the way it was with old John Clarkson. the pitching partner of the celebrated Kelly. He had to try out his men. to be sure. but after once pitching to them and serving them this. or serving them that. Clarkson knew the other chaps numbers. He stored the knowl- edge away in a special brain cell, and when next a ball player thus recorded came mp to face the fancy pitcher. you may hc sure he was dealt with the sort of ball he least likcd-and that was the way Clarkson won games

acquainted with the pccUliaritieS of so many players as figure in big league. but CIarkson had plenty of time. for he pitched in the majority of games played by his team. Take the 1885 season. for example. Clarkson was chief finger for Pop Ansons Chica- gos, and he'd for associates such class A performers as Mike Kelly, Fred Pfeffcr. Ed Williamson, T. r.. Burns. Dalrymplcs. George Gore. Bill Sunday. F. =. Flint and J McCor- mick That season Clarkson pitched 70 games. and finished with per ccutagr of 7gO That was the high est number of games to be pitched in one season by any championship pitcher from the start of the organized baseball in 1871 to the year of grace 1911. with only one exception, and that was Radhournc's record made in 1881 with Providence. when he pitched - games and won a percentage of S3S.
 IL was because he studied the frail- ties of others that John CIarkson was SD successful as d pitcher Aside from this. he was a wonder on his own account, but a wonder with weakness of his own. just as apparent to others as were the holes in the armor of others to him. This was his scnsitivcncss to criticism or commen- dation. Find fault with him, and he'd bleed at the heart. and go into his next game under cold collar Hand him gracious helping of salve. and he was proud as a dog with two tails Which. after all. only goes to show that John Clarkson was a hu- man being

the purpose of revenue or exhibition,

he has followed from boyhood. His

In January, 1910, Winemillers right

was drawn up to the line shaft and
wh1rled around until his arm was
mashed and mangled close up to the

marvellous recovery, and as soon as
he was able to be about he began de-

and covered the free end of it with a

Washington.-H you had discovered
and patented cholera anti-toxin that
could stop an annual loss Of $50 200, 900
worth Of hogs in the United States,
would you give the invention away to
the general public?
OF, If you had found that oil and ce-
ment will mix to form a new style Of
concrete which may completely revo-
lutionize the building industry, would
you patent the process for your own
pocketbook or for the free use of the
people?
These questions are hypothetical to
the ordinary citizen, but they have
been real to two men. He who discov-
cred the hog cholera serum might have
been rich now, and with stupendous
fortune in sight. He who is about to
obtain patent on new building ma
terial modestly admits that there prob
ably would be millions in it, and
patent right, but that he has no desire
to take profit from his discovery. H.
both OF these inventors, DR.. Marion
Dorset and Logan Waller Page, are
employees under the agricultural de-
partment of the government. They are
by no means the only ones, however,
who have within the last three or four
years dedicated to the public inven-

cation rests upon the man who uses
public property, and whose time is
paid for by the government, to turn
over his inventions to the government;
