Artificial HsIos or "sun poas.r

An experiment which illustrates in a
very curious manner the actual philos-
ophy of the formation of halos or ''sun
dogs" is performed as follows: Take n
solution OF alum and spread n few
drops of it over pane of glass. 1t
will readily crystallize in small, fiat
octohedrons, scarcely visible to the eye.
When this pane of prepared glass is
held between the observer and the sun
or even a candle with eyes very close
to the smooth side Of the glass; there
will be seen three different but distinct
and beautiful halos, each at different
distance from the luminous body.

---------e.------ HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 TO PLAY ALUMNI

The annual game between the Brming ham High school basketball team and the basketball team composed of alumni of the school will be played Thursday at the high school gymnasium. The members ot the former basketball teams who will play are: Tom Estes, Percy Meadow, Joe Gol6stein, Wilson Searight, Luther Strange and Dutch Zielminski.
 The high school team has just gone through successful season, although very few out of town games were played on account of a poor schedule. The squad won the majority of the games and also tied for the pennant in the city league. The line up will probably be: Tribble and Hood, forwards Hanby or E. Stanage, center; Jones, Gillem and Hanby will ca wort at guard.
 It should be very interesting game for the alumni are in good shape, and the team is composed of star players. During the winter Meadows and Estes have played on the Y. M. C. A. team, while Strange and Searight have been on the B. A C. southern championship team as substitutes.'
 It is hardly thought that the B. H. s. youngsters will be able to down the old stars, for they are much larger and more experienced. However, Coach Courleux says that he will give them the fight of their lives.

 , and hope that our teams may be the ones to draw prizes.
 Baseball is like the Glory Song there is enough for all," said William Abbott Witman, president of the United States League of Professional Baseball Clubs. when discussing the aims, hopes, possibili- ties and outlook of the new organization. There can be no such thing as too much good baseball. and good baseball IS what VIC propose to have. Every city in the country has it's thousands of lovers of the game and it's hundreds of players. Does any one imagine for a moment that the 400 held under contract by the other two big leagues are all in this broad land of ours who can play the game? Tn the colleges, in the minor leagues, in the anna teur clubs and among those who have temporarily retired are thousands of play CTS who are the peers of any who are held under the ironclad agreements by the two big leagues
 While we have offers from over 90 star players who last year wore American or National league uniforms, we can, If we so desire, fill all of our eight clubs with the brightest and best experts In all de- partments of the game without causing the violation of a single contract. So. you see, there need be no baseball war,
 
 tive; but if one is forced upon us we will be on the job. and knowing our resources I can say, without boasting, we will not lose
 There is no dearth of material from which we can and will select the superiors of those who are tied up under a reserve clause. We have the grounds, we have the men, we have the money. we nave the ability, and we have the enthusiasm.

In these cities the total attendance at all the games played by the clubs of those leagues last year was less than three mil- lion, yet the population in that territory exceeds 10 GOO of able bodied citizens who were at home every day during the season.
 Our schedule Is being so arranged that none of the dates will conflict with those of the other two leagues. This means that New York, Brooklyn, Pittsburg. Washington, Cincinnati and Cleveland will have baseball games nearly every day from May to September. It means that there will be no days of ebbing in- terest in baseball while clubs are away from home. It means that we believe every American citizen with red blood in his veins is 8 baseball fan, and that we propose to gratify his natural desire for lively contests and good games, We are of the opinion that the fans are not SO much interested in who plays the game as they are in how it is played. and the more they get Of good baseball the more they want.
