THE spit ball is an improvement
on the ordinary projeetile which
Is fed to the batter BY the pitcher.
1t Is the same old horsehide ball. but in
addition to using his hands and feet
in pitching it, the pitcher also uses his
tongue This enables the ball to side
step and otherwise elude the batter so
adroitly that the latter generally beats
the atmosphere for several wards
around into a creamy froth with his bat
while attempting to hit it.
Two kinds o. deliveries are used
by mcd'in 'tckers-the wet and dry.
The dry ball is chemically pure. and
has the sanction of the health de-
partment. 1t can be hit successfully

parlng TO spit ball the pitcher Iicks
the sphere with his long, glistening
tongue, as If he was a boa constructor
and was preparing to swallow it. This
caoses it to adhere firmly 10 his
hnuchle bone. he then cOnVuises
and releases the well soaked ball
with a prodigious twist. The sphere
sails through the air with A loud
-whoOsh" like a pail of water falling
irom fourth story window. and
which fCols the batter with its wide
curse, or browns him outright.
To produce the spit ball the pitcher
must be "a sort of human oasis with
large and never failing saliva glands

innings # necessary. This is very

to Do Away with Imported

Berlin, Aug. 3l.-The German Emper-
or. who has sometimes been styled
.'Germany's first commercial traveller"
has a brother who also believes in max
ing the best OF every opportunity Tor
furthering German commerce and indus
try. Having done a great deal in the
last few years for the recommendation
OF one or two types Of German motor
cars, PriDce Henry Of Prussia. Is Just
now engaged in helping the agitation
which asks that the German car shall
be given German fodder. Nowhere more
than in Germany is the value Of the
motor car for military purposes a sub
ject for thoughtful discussion. Every
part that a motor car could possibly
be called upon to play has been ex-
amined. and the fullest tests have been
made. but apparently little has been
thought about the vital question OF how
the motors are to be nourished.

side OF the Atlantic. and there are fire.

prices also lies far beyond Germany S
reach Experiments have been made.

zol. which have led some experts TO con-
clude that here lies the means for as
surfing German independence OF foreign
supply. Prince Henry OF Prussia-him-
self no mean authority in the matter OF
motoring-has also made experiments,
and, as these have led him TO the same
conclusion. with characteristic outspok-
en- energy he comes forward to urge
German motorists to follow his example.

Stunning Supremacy Over that
of Neighbor.

Paris. Aug. 3l.-There is q feeling
abroad that Germany intends TO chal-
lenge Frances supremacy of the air. A
note OF alarm is from time to time
sounded in certain papers. II is pointed
out that Germany now possesses "a
aeroplanes, while according to official in
formation France has no more than 80.
Germany has a corps of Ssl certified
pilots This number is not disputed, but
the question is asked: How many Of
these officers can fly? In less than six
months more than 1000 miles have been
flown by 80 French military officers.
How many miles have been flown by
German officers during the correspond
ing period?' asks La Vie au Grand Air
This journal considers that the expert
ments in Germany with aeroplanes which
drop engines of destruction have not
been conclusive. As to- airships, the
German vessels may be superior TO
French This much is conceded. but.
say the French critics, Il Is necessary
to take accidents and the wind into ac-
count They do not believe that any
Zeppelin airship would have dared to
go out al Anjou on the day when Garros
flew over 800 miles in a tempest. For the
rest French aviation experts consider
that there is not the slightest need for
alarm, since as yet there have been no
flying exploits in Germany to command
the serious attention of French pilots.

British Physician Says Insane PEG
pie Will 0utnumber Sane in .
Three Hundred Years.

London. Aug. s1.-There will be more
lunatics In the world than sane people
600 years hence; was the prophecy DR..
Forbes Winslow made yesterday. This
prophecy is based upon the present rate
OF the growth of lunacy as revealed by
recent returns.
DR.. Winslow expressed strong disa-
greement with the statement made at
the EuSenics Congress by DIR. Mott to
the effect that the increase in lunacy
was more apparent than real. and told
press representative that in making
such a statement DR.. Mott apparently
referred to London only. Dr. Forbes
winslow said that from his knowledge
of the progress of lunacy in all parts
OF the world he had come to the con-
clusion that I'VE are rapidly approach
ing a mad world" He added: In
every part OF the world civilization Is
advancing and so insanity is also
bound to advance. There were 36.1S2
registered lunatics in 1853. but $4,000 at
the present day. That showed the
alarming Increase.
IF DR.. Motifs theory is accepted, we
shall wake up when II sis too late to
prevent a further increase. What hap
pened to the pauper class in London, as
an alleged proof against the real in
crease of lunacy. was very much beside
the question. taken as a whole. Fifty
years ago there was one lunatic in 5iS
of the population, but now one in 25s
At that rate of progress. In 800 years
time there would be more lunatics in the
