Indian Head won from La Plata in the
first game Of base ball played by the
two teams this season on the latter's
grounds on Saturday last by the score
OF II to 10.
The home boys lost the game in the
first inning. Hamilton who pitched
was wild in the first inning giving
several passes, which followed by safe
hits netted the visitors six runs.
After the first inning he pitched an
excellent game pulling the team several
times out Of some very close places.
The game on the whole was well played
by both sides. The feature of the game
was the beautiful home run Of Bryant
over the left field fence.

I repeat the story for what 1t Is
worth, but whether 1t be an exaggera-

lessness suggests the thought that the
time may come when long continued
work will not be followed by fatigue.
Why indeed should it? Why does a
man feel tired after a hard days Ia
Dor?
The question seems a childish one,
but a German psychologist not long ago
put that very query to himself, not
with the simplicity of a child, but with
the deep knowledge which see in the
questions of children the most difficult
problems Of science.
That a man can feel tired without
having exerted himself at all is a well
known fact. 1t Is a fact recognized by
enterprising sellers of tonics guaran-
teed to cure that tired feeling" which
persons with deranged bodies have on
arising from sleep. And it is a fact
which would seem to prove that the

But If the sensation Of Fatigue is

Some men the other night, in con-
versation with me, knowing I was a
.minister-and it is the spirit of this
time to put it up to a minister In
terms t least of gentle satire-said:
I'VE have been discussing conscience
and one of them said, I have given a
definition of conscience; it is the YER
micular appendix of the SOUL and they
laughed. And I said, That is a good
definition in your case; 0 never
know you have it until it hurts YOU
Then they did not laugh"

A Little Knock for the Aerop&ne

1t Is CURIOUS now the D1rO IDEA mas
chung to the art and science of the fly
ing machine in spite of all efforts to
shake it off. We call it the art Of avi-
alton, and the artist We call an aviator.
Making these two terms into English,
we would have bird-ation and bird
ator. Clearly then, If we are to be con-
sistent in our etymology, we should
call the flying machine itself "avis,"
the Latin word for bird.
And yet we do no such thing. We
call the flying machine itself an aero
plane; and this word, with its two spe-
cies of biplane and monoplane, is an
excellent n for the purpose, because
it means precisely what it says. The
word plane as now used in this COM
bination is not derived from the Greek
word which means "wanderer," Tut
from that which means "fat."
What warrant is there for the asso-
citation of the bird idea with that of
the curious machines that are now
swooping and circling through the air
In the skies Of all the nations? Has
man, az a matter Of fact, realized the
longing Of the psalmist, who sighed for
the wings of a bird that he might fly
away and be at rest?
l, for one, do not<believe it; and I
imagine that I would not be alone In
my conviction were a poll taken of
those who have some knowledge of the
structure of and the work done by the
n0rVyQy1c orl ~o,,c4,n .--L--.-
that enable the bird to fly.
When you look at a hawk high I'D in
the air, soaring with rigid outstretched
wings, maintained in his glorious flight
by the pressures between his wings
n the atmosphere, you have before
you the pretty and inspiring prototype
of the buoyant aviator in his mono
plane. Maybe. Both, perhaps, rest
upon the same mechanical principles,
SO far as the buoyancy is concerned,
Both are, in their way, monoplanes.
But there" as Lord Byron says, "al]
likeness ends between the pair"
The bird is the absolute master OF
the situation. The aviator Is absolute
ly at the mercy Of it. The wing and
the tail of the bird respond to the viii
OF the bird with the infinite nicely that
mark the conduct Of the arm, the
hand and the fingers of a man when
they move in response to the man
dates sent down to them by their mas
ter, the brain. The birds wing. apar1
from the plumage that makes it 8
plane, consists of millions Of muscle
fbers, each n of which is directl,
supplied by its WI nerve-6ber, ane
these millions of nerve-ibers (botf
sets OF fibers are microscopicall,
small) connect up with other million,
of nerve-fibers In the spinal cord O
the bird, and these last connect I'll
with still other millions Of nerve-fber,
in the birds brain, whose batteries
are in certain groups of the almos
countless cells OF the gray matter.
Here we have q mechanism incalcu
lably intricate: a thing very differen
from the crude spread of the aeroplan
and its motive power Of gasoline.
