BASEBALL With a Diver,

A nation baseball-mad has develop
ed in recent years such variations on
the popular theme as night practice
under electric lights and games in
cramped quarters played with huge
"indoor" balls and diminutive bats.
But way up at the tip of Manhattan
island is something really unique
baseball with the aid of diver.
In a vacant lot near Broadway and
229th street a vital portion Of left
field is cut away by broad slough,
which once may have deserved its
name of Tlbbet's Brook. The amateur
games played on this badly flawed dla-
mond are remarkable more for heavy
hitting than for scientific pitching;
and deep left field is favorite land
ing place for safe hits. The balls
often sail over the helpless fielder's
head to land in Tibbet's Brook with a
beautiful splash. On Sunday after
Moons small boy is kept busy diving
off the bank and swimming after balls
when they come to the surface. He
gets a share of the collection as his
reward.

HANDICAPS OUT OF FASHION
Anyhow, the Women Golfers Pre-
ferred to Play Bareheaded, Said
the New Member.

For exactly three weeks she had
been a member of the golf club, and
was anxious that every one should
know 1t. She fooled her way along
the links with bag full of shining
clubs, none of which she knew how to
use, and whenever she was invited
cut to tea she turned the conversa-
ton to golf and interlarded It pro-
fusely with such terms as bunker"
"stymie," "divot," and so on.
At last a nice young man inquired
after her handicap. adding:
II suppose the ladies of your club
have handicaps?"
For a moment she was nonplussed,
but only for a moment.
"Oh," she replied glibly, don't you
know that caps are out Of fashion.
however handy they may be? Be-
sides. we all prefer to go round bare
headed"

HOW TALKING SIGNS WORK
Mechanism Of These Changing Elec-
tric Light Bulletins Is Intricate
but Operates Easily.

The electric light talking sign was
introduced to New York about ten
years ago. one Of the earliest If not
the first one displayed being that at
Broadway and Thirty-sixth street. BY
changing the firm or goods to be adver
tised such a sign becomes a perma
nent investment This possibility Is
of equal value to the advertiser, for II
is of course less expensive to hire such
service for a desired length of time
than to erect large sign for his own
exclusive use.
One of these talking signs, which is
70 feet long, has letters 8 feet high and
feet broad. The space is divided into
fifteen monograms, as they are called
Each Of these monograms contains
forty-eight changes. That is forty
eight letters and numerals can be
shown in successfully in that one Ak
foot space Each monogram space is
perforated by forty lamps which form
the fortyeight combinations.
The changes are controlled by a
rather intricate arrangement which
hCCOIuluB " inc EuloOh NhoiNhiyt NNh
sists Of a motor with commutator
for each monogram. BY a system OF
metal dogs, not unlike the Yale lock
in principle, the arrangement can be
so adjusted beforehand that the prop
er connections are made with each
revolution of the commuatator to
form the letters and figures wanted in
a certain order. Readjustment can be
made as often as desired, so that II
the owner needs to have a new mes
sage each night he has only to plan
out the combinations.

LIFE AN UNCERTAIN GAME
Systems for Reaching Old Age as
Doubtful as These for Acquir-
ing Wealth.

The late John w Gates, who was
frequently spoken of as "plunger,"
played Wall street on a system, and
was thirty or forty million dollars
ahead of the game when he died at
the age of fifty-six.
Thomas A. Edison, luckily among
those guests who escaped unharmed
from the Carlton hotel fire in London,
is now sixty-four. He also has his
system" applied to living, by which
he declares he expects to attain the
patriarchal age of one hundred and
fifty.
A man died in Minnesota lately only
eleven days short of the cen 'ury mark.
AS is too often the case, this near.
centenarian was a hard drinker and
an inveterate smoker. NJ ybe II he
had lived a tempera life he might
have rounded out the full hundred
year
Fat It all goes to show what an un.
c~wa'l game life is. Some men take
tAInss easy and pass off in their
prime. Edison works 16 or 1S hours
day. intends never to retire, and is
going stronger than ever at sixty-four
The only positive assurance the
wizard inventor can have in regard
to the long span he looks to, and
which all the world cordially wishes
him, is that he has achieved 150
years worth of work already.

CUTTING THROUGH CAPE COZ
Canal That viii save 1870 Miles of
Sailing May Be Completed
Next Year.

So much attention has been given
TO the digging of the great ship canal
across the Isthmus OF Panama, and,
locally, so much interest being ex-
pended in the slow and tedious build
ing of the barge canal across New
York state. that sight has almost been
lost of the Cape Cod canal, which has
been in progress since June, 1890.
This canal has been projected since
1920, for the Pilgrims saw the ad-
vantage Of saving this 120 miles OF
sailing around Cape Cod, and the dan
ger from the storms that at seasons
of the year are said to be very severe
off tie cape itself. In the last 90
years there have been 2,131 sailing
vessels lost on these voyages, and
more than 700 lives II is said that
more than 35.OOO,OOO tons of freight
are carried yearly past the mouths
of the canal. and the saving in freigl t
age alone will be enough to pay for
the construction of the canal In a
very short time. Insurance rates that
will be saved in the construction of
the short cut will be a very large fig.
ure, for the companies have learned
that the fogs and gales are very de-
structive and that losses demand high
premiums upon all cargoes.
The canal will run from Barnstable
bay on the south side of Buzzard's
bay on the north side, and will lessen
the difference in distance between
New York and Boston by water about
100 miles. 1t will be large enough for
the largest vessels afloat, and It is
expected that It will be completed in
1912, though this statement is doubted
by some, as trouble his been had with
several contractors who have failed
TO complete their work.-Utica OBJ
