BASEBALL SIGNS.

Their Importance Is Much Grester
Than Theft Number.

word signal" With Us ii is 6 sign"
There are not as many signs" used on
a ball 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 sign for
turye ball. a 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 a ball that jumps in" a
curve. Ball players do not recognize
the incurve. That is called fast ball.
ANY ball thrown by a right handed
pitcher with sufficient speed will jump
! inward to a slight degree. The out
curve and drop are unnatural curves,
and the ball must be spun In an IN
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. II
he wants the runner to start as he
swings ,the hit and run play be gives
him a certain sign. There are any
number of signs used for this play
Sometimes the batter gives II by rub
bling his hand over the small end OF
the bat. Again, he may give II by
knocking the dust from his shoes with
the big end of the bat-John j. Nc

MUSICAL Muow.A AIMS.

Singing Cliffs In the Pyrenees and
Roaring Sands In Hawaii.
In certain parts of the world are
mountains and hills which are said by
the natives to sing. In the Pyrenees
certain cliffs emit plaintive sounds re-
sembling the strains of harp. Two
other cliffs In the same chain are called
the "snorers." When the wind is In
the southwest they send forth a pc.
culiar sound not altogether musical.
The faces of these cliffs are marked
by deep gullies. open in front. which
may be compared to the pipes of an
organ. At certain times stratum of
air. held between the cliffs and border
Ing trees, closes the openings while the
wind blows freely between through
the gullies. or organ pipes, behind;
hence the music that is heard.
At the confluence of the Orinoco and
the Rio Meta are granite cliffs which
sing at sunrise. Humboldt refers to
the phenomenon as the musical stones
Of the Orinoco. The music is caused by
the rush Of the expanding air through
assures partly closed by mica.
Many more examples might be cited
to show that nature makes use of prin-
ciples which have been adopted by
man In the creation Of musical sounds.
Nor are the musical sounds Of nature
confined to rocks. mountains and hills,
for in Hawaii Is sand bank fifty feet
high which, when the hand is moved
about in the loose sand produces a
sound like that of a melodeon. 1t is
said that II the observer slides down
the bank on his back, dragging both
hands in the sand. the sound becomes
as loud as faint thunder Harper's
