tween the saw and guides, pulling
his body into the saw severing the

slant death. His brother at once
notified the neighbors of the ac-
cident. who released the body,

TOLEDO-SILETZ BALL GAME

VI,
The Toledo baseball team played
its first game last Sunday on the
Siletz diamond. Not a very CLASSY
game as you will notice by the
score vf 1915 in favor of Siltez.
But the boys can play ball never
theless, and before many more
games they will be going in cham
pionship strides. There is some
good material, hard workers, and
a fine spirit among the men, and it
will go far toward a winning team.
Ross and Plank have several nice
clean hits to their credit, and in
deed the batting of the whole team
is good. Next Sunday we will be-
gin keeping the averages of the en-
tire team and they will appear each
week in the Leader.
Next Sundays game promises to
be an interesting one. We hope to
have large crowd. The teams
are evenly matched and will play
good ball. The work of Houser
Casey, Bensell and Blackerty is
always pleasure to fans and you
know what to expect of the home
boys.

Soap Bubbles and MONKEYS

Prof C. V. Boys, F. R. S., has been
trying the effect of soap bubbles on
the orangoutangs, chimpanzees and
monkeys at the London Zoo. When
the first bubble scared into the cage
where an orangoutang was confined an
inquisitive amazement could be seen
in its attitude. But as soon as it no
ticed that these flying bombs explod
ed without any disaster 1t gained
courage
Carefully, nervously, when bubble
entered 1t stretched its hand nearer
and nearer, ard suddenly caught it.
Then, tremendously pleased at the
novel game, it put it's muzzle through
the bars, and the professor blew
bubble SO that it settled on its nose.
Thereupon the tongue was curled up
and the bubble was licked in with
real smacking of the lips.
Two of the chimpanzees, mean
while, who were watching the exhibit
ton, huddled in terror, but intensely
curious, in a corner of the cage. One
chimpanzee displayed Just the same
eagerness as the orangoutang.
When the lower tribes of monkeys
were tested the response to science
was less gratifying. They would not
take any particular nott,e. but con
tinued their usual antics after some
cursory glances.

few but many more had come. Then

One of the more recently devised
methods involves the use under the

parallel to the wall, as the case may
be, of a network Of wire stretched

at any point the surface to be protect
