HUMAN SKULL PUZZLE.
A Cavity That May Have Been tho
Seat of a Sixth Sense.


Despite the progress Of physiology
the study of the human body Is full
Of mystery. Some Of its well known
organs have never revealed either
their uses or the reason Of their crea-
ton. The part played by the spleen
in human life was discovered but re-
Gently. 1t is now regarded as one of
the principal agents In the circulation
Of the blood. But there are In the
marvellous human organism mys-
terious parts which II is possible that
no savant. however profound his
learning, may ever understand. For
instance, in the skull. behind the car
tilage Of the nose. there is a little
cavity Of unknown origin. Physiolo-
gists believe that at one time-several
thousand generations ago-it contained
a gland consisting Of two lobes Joined
by their common base.
This cavity-the delta turciea-is, in
the opinion of certain savants. the
yestige of a sixth sense which was of
great use to the sntedlluyian ances-
tors Of man. II is believed that this
little gland enabled them to see in the
darkness when they had not yet learn
ed the secret Of procuring light; that
1t was the seat Of the mysterious
sense Of situation or locality, the pow
er to orient their course, the sense so
highly developed to this day in saw
ages and certain animals. The theory
IS plausible. bur II IL doubtful whether
man will ever acquire any real knowl-
edge of the reason for the existence
of the delta iurcica. Exchange.

BASEBALL SIGNS.
Their Importance Is Much Greater
Than Their Number.

Than Their Number.
Among the players we do not use the
word signal" With us it is sign"
There are not as many signs" used on
bah club as the public would believe.
OF course the catcher must sign" the
pitcher for every ball that he throws.
That is to prevent confusion or, as we
say, to keep from crossing each
other" The catcher has II sign for
curve ball, fast ball and slow one.
To ball players all curve balls, such
as the drop and the outcurve. are call
ed "a curve The catcher gives the
same sign for any one Of them. We
do not call bali that Jumps lin" a
curve. Ball players do not recognize
the incurve That is called fast ball.
ANY ball thrown by right handed
pitcher with sufficient speed viii jump
inward to a slight degree. The out
curve and drop are unnatural curves,
and the bali must be spun In an I'M
natural manner to get that peculiar
break"
The only other sign" OF importance
Is the one the batter gives to the run
ner when he intends to hit the ball IL
he wants the runner to start as he
swings tthe hit and run play he gives
him a certain sign. There are any
number of signs used for this play.
Sometimes the batter gives It by rub
