SCIENTISTS SELECT
SEVEN MODERN WONDERS

The editor of Popular Mechanics
Magazine invited nearly one thousand
scientists, representing every Euro
pean and American school of advanc-
ed thought, to participate by ballot in
the selection of seven wonders of the
modern world. A ballot was pre-
pared containing Sc subjects of scien-
tinc and mechanical achievement.
There were blank spaces for the in
sertion Of any other subject the voter
might desire. Each of the eminent
men to whom the ballots were sent
was requested to indicate the seven
that appeared to him to be the most
wonderful. He was under no obliga-
tion to accept any of those on the list.
The American scientists were Sc
lected after consultation with the Sec
retary of the American Academy of
Sciences, DR.. L. o. Howard, Of Wash
ington, D. c., the European authori-
ties consulted were members, either
of the Royal Society of London, the
French Academy Of Science or the
faculties of the great German univer-
stiles. The response received was
cordial. About 70 per cent Of the
ballots sent out were marked and re-
turned. These came from the most
distinguished men of the entire group,
the names of many of whom are
household words throughout the civ
ilized world. The list of the Seven
Wonders so chosen is published in
the August number of Popular Me-
ohanics Magazine.

GREAT UNDERTAKING
NEARLY COMPLETED

In another year the people Of New
York will be drinking water from the
Catskill mountains. In January the
new dam will be ready to create a new
mountain lake filled by Esopus creek.
In few months thereafter the water
will be brought under the Hudsont
down to the city and distributed
through the regular service pipes. 1t
is one of the worlds greatest jobs in
the creation of a new water supply.
Seven villages and two thousand peo-
pie have been removed to make way
for the great reservoir, which Is now

two cemeteries have been removed
and 2S0O bodies have been taken away
and reinterred. SiXty-four miles of
highway will be left in the bottom of
the lake and eleven miles of railroad
will be removed to land not included
in the boundaries of the Ashokan res
ervoir. The whole plant will cost
more than the taxpayers of New York
care to contemplate, but if the prom

PLAYING BALL WITH BRAINS.
From C. II. Claudy's @Playlng the
Came" in August st. Nicholas.

Lads who play baseball should
make It a rule to think out in their
own minds, swiftly but accurately,
just what they will do with the ball
II 1t comes to them, and before they
do it, But this thinking out should
not be to the effect that "If get the
ball, will throw to first base for the
runner" because that is mental
command which may well be obeyed
In the excitement Of the play when
the best place for the ball may be
elsewhere.
The making up Of ones mind and
the mental command should be en-
tirely different; to the effect that "a
double play Is possible, If the ball is
batted so | must run near second to
get IT," or "I'll field II to first If it's
a bunt run in on, but if it's ground
ball l have to play back on, I'll send
II to second" Leave yourself a field
ers choice" in your mind, but never
fail to calculate before each play what
II may be possible to do, should the
ball come your way; and make these
calculations with a full knowledge of
the innino the score, and the outs.
often, of course there is but one
thing to do in which case the play is
easier Thus, with man on third and
less than two out, almost any lnflield
hit should be fielded home rather
than to first base because of the more
than usual chances of retiring the
runner. On the other hand, with two
out and man ON third, almost any
infield hit should. of course, befielded
TO first because the third out is easier
made there than anywhere else, the
runner not having to be touched by
the ball And If the batter is out at
first, the runner on third cannot
score.

The Mighty Work at Panama.

Mr.. William Bayard Hale, fresh
from visit to Central America, de-
scrbes, in the August Worlds Work,
the wonder of the great canal bed at
Panama as 1t lies there almost ready
to be filled.
Its marvels are the Gatun dam, the
Culebra cut and the locks-each Of the
six OF them with two chambers 1000
feet long and 10 feet wide,
You may think you can manufacture
a mental picture of these locks, but
you cannot-not till you have gone
down their perpendicular sides a thou
sand feet and got aboard a dummy
train that journeys three-fourths of a
mile along the bottom; not till you
have looked up and seen the cathedral
arches springing in glory from side
to side, and gazed at the steel gates
seven feet thick and marked the cis-
tern holes in the bottom of the chan
mel, up and down through which will
move the strong streams that will lift
and let down the ships of the nations
into their cradles with the tenderness
of a mother with an infant. Far un-
derneath extend culverts the size Of
railroad tunnels; II is through these
and through mighty valves that the
locks are filled and emptied, Move
about awhile among these works like
a pygmy lost in labrynth of the gods
and it will dawn on you what sort of
thing men have been about here on
this neck Of Darien.
