CURVED BAT is THE LATEST
Topnotehers in Baseball are Expected
to Use New Stick During Their
Spring Practice.

The very latest thing in baseball is
a new bat, and in the spring practice
it will be tried by some Of the top
notchers. The bat Ia curved and some
what flattened near the end. The crook
starts about eight inches from the
end and extends about six inches
farther, when it is rounded off.
Laughing Larry" Doyle, Ty Cobb
and Josh Devore are among some Of
the willow wielders that have ordered
samples, so it's said The claimed
advantage of the bat is that it makes
1t possible for the batsman by mere
manipulation of the wrist to place the
ball to right field or to left or to GEN.
ter. The bat really is variation Of
the wicker affairs used in the jai alai
game in Cuba. t
It Is said that some of the success
Of the Cuban teams against the Ath-
letics this season in the Antilles was
due largely to the use by the Cubans
Of bat to which the members of the
American team were unaccustomed,
and which bat is in large way SINH
lar to the new bat proposed. ~
The new bat, it is said, Is no longer
than the one now in use, and will not,
therefore, come under the prohibition
Of the .lles.

Style of Street Letter Box Changed

concealing the time when the next
collection is to be made.
Four things have been taken into
consideration in trying to adopt de-
sign for a new street letter box. The
first is that of economy of time for
the collector. Instead Of having to
open the box from the side and re-
move the contents by handfuls, the
department wants box that will
open and discharge it's contents into
a sack with a single operation.
In searching for this the question of
the artistic appearance of the box has
by no means been overlooked. II a
new box is to be adopted, the postal
authorities are determined that 1t
shall combine as much grace and
beauty in it's appearance as it is pos
sible to give such unitarian object.
An indestructible time card and an
automatic indicator that will show the
time at which the next collection Is to
be made are the two other points
that have been given consideration.
The first becomes unnecessary If the
automatic Indicator works satisfac-
tory, but the experiments thus far
made by the postoffice department
have not developed an automatic de-
vice sufficiently trustworthy, to put in
to use on the street letter boxes.

Make Plans to Beauty the Capital

built, as they were In Paris in the
days of the Terror. On his plan he
designated various places where the
great public buildings of the future
should be put. For nearly half hun
dred years Major L'Enfant was re-
garded as an impractical dreamer, al
though his street plan was adhered to.
1t was only after the civil war that
people began to realize in small
way that his vision of the future
greatness Of the nations capital was
likely to come true some day. But
even up to ten years or so ago his
plans slumbered in the archives of
the government. Then they were TAX
en- out and studied in the light of mod
ern development, and 1t was found
they could not be improved upon. and
that If they were carried out in every
detail Washington would surpass ev-
cry other city in the world in beauty.
The completion of these ancient
plans of this French engineer is still
far away, for it will take many years
and much money to accomplish them
in all their details. But the three mas
sive buildings whose location was des-
ignated so long ago will be the most
important step toward their fulfill
ment that has been taken since the
capitol was erected.

"a with new designs and automatic
time registers, American cities are
soon to have an entirely new style Of
street letter box. It's exact shape and
principle of operation is not yet an
nounced by the postofflce department,
but experiments have gone so far
that an early decision is expected
upon the precise type of box that is to
be used.
The unsightly green box that graces
the top of the iron post at the street
corner now has long been an unsatis-
factory receptacle for street mail, the
authorities say. Compared with the
post boxes of foreign cities, it is who'll
ly inartistic. Considered in the light
of an economical device, it is a fail
ure, for 1t wastes the time of the mail
collector in getting the mail out Of

III ASHINGTON.-O decided step

tai the most beautiful city in the

Gently when the designs for three
great buildings for the federal govern
ment were selected. Fifty-nine archi-

SS,000,000, and are to be erected on
Pennsylvania avenue, facing the White
House grounds. They will house the
department Of state, the department
of justice and the department of COM

The spaces that these great struc-

Need of Hog Cholera Serum Reported

yards at Kansas City, on the request
of the Kansas City Live Stock ex-
change and of individuals interested
in the subject. Thirty-fve young
shoats were purchased from a farm
where hog cholera had not existed.
These pigs were carried to the Kan
sas City stockyards, being in charge
of a committee appointed by the ex-
change, were treated and the experts
say that no more convincing truth Of
the efficacy of this serum could be
obtained than is afforded by this ex-
pertinent.
Twenty-Five were injected with anti
hog-cholera serum prepared by the bu-
reau. Four were injected with viru-
lent hog cholera blood. Nine were
not treated in any manner. All were
placed in pen together. AS was ex.
pected, the four pigs inoculated with
the virulent blood contracted hog
cholera within short time and all
died. The nine checks" contracted
hog cholera from those which were
inoculated with hog cholera blood and
they also died. The ~ pigs treated
with the serum remained well, with
the exception of one or two, which
were slightly affected during one or
two days. 1t is not certain, however,
that the trouble with the immune
hogs was hog cholera, as none died.
The agricultural department feels
that the subject is of such Importance
as to warrant state legislatures giving
1t immediate attention. Hog cholera,
it is pointed out, has caused loss to
the farmers of the country Of mil
lions of dollars annually. Now that
the government has discovered Sc
rum through the use of which this
dread disease may be prevented state
authorities should not delay in pro-
viding for the general use Of this

money in this way the machines at
these stations could be used with the
other IA that could be purchased

Representative James R. Mann of
Illinois declared that this country was

seven dirigibles, 80 aeroplanes and six
