Races Of Mankind.

The races of mankind are five in
number-white. yellow. brown. red
and black, or the Caucasian. Mongo-
liam, Malayan. Indian and negro. The
nterreIationships of these different
breeds have been the subject of study
with the specialists for ages. but the
disputes are as numerous as they were
when the study began. Whether the
various races sprang from some one
original race and If so what that orig
inal race was. is a question that is still

Tho Elephants Palate.

An elephants palate is very delicate,
and the animal Is whimsical in select
ing or rejecting morsels of food. A
writer tells Of an incident humorously
illustrative Of the whims Of a tame ele-
plant belonging to the police of Dhur-
bri. This elephant was fed with rice
and plantains. The stems of the plan
tains were split and cut into trans.
verse sections two feet in length.
Three-quarters of pound of rice was
placed within each tube of plantain
stem. One day while the elephant was
being fed some one offered 1t n small
sweet biscuit. 1t was taken in the
trunk and almost Immediately thrown
on the ground. The mahout, thinking
that the elephant had behaved rudely
picked up the biscuit and inserted it In
parcel of rice within plantain stem.
This was placed in the beasts mouth,
and at the very first crunch ii showed
its disgust by refusing the whole mess
The small biscuit had disguised the
animal, and for several minutes II tried
by its inserted trunk to rake out every
atom from its tongue and throat.-Har-

Rainbow. That Can Change Sex.

In many parts of the world it Is the
general belief that the rainbow has
the power to change sex. This queer
belief obtains in such widely separated
districts as South Africa and Norway
and China and Australia. The Zulus
have long folklore story Of the young
man who was changed into a wrinkled
old woman by touching the many hued
arch. The Scandinavian peasants have
n similar story. and in Greece they say
that anybody who runs against the end
of the rainbow will have his or her sex
instantly changed. In France and In
dia to pass under the rainbow has a
similar effect.

JIMMY ARCHER EXPLAINS VALUE OF
HIS FAMOUS SQUAT THROW TO Second

Without further ado we will swing
into something that everybody seems
to be distinctly interested in-the squat
throw, and how it is accomplished
This is great pet of mine, as it
should be, because it was this trick
that got me better known all over
America than anything else ever did
writes Jimmy Archer.
To begin with, let me say that this
trick of the wing from a squatted DO
sition is not only mighty difficult
thing to accomplish, but it is as well
hard thing to describe in such a way
as to bring about full and reasonable
understanding of it.
That it is a great trick there is lit
tie doubt, because l have had and am
having at the present time a lot Of
imitators, but so far | have yet to see
catcher who can do well with it.
When a catcher is squatted down

he must balance himself carefully or
the forward part of the feet.
His balance must be perfect, be
cause the ball comes to him with great
force usually and he must retain equil-
ibrium or else the crash of the ball
against the mitt is liable to ruin just
what he wants to do-be in position ia
let the ball go without rising to full
standing position.
First of all, let me explain that l
had to invent or devise this method OF
throwing with snap because my
throwing arm was badly crippled BIZ
being scalded frcm waist to. shoulder
an accident that drew up the cords ~
the elbow in such a way that after

straighten my arm.
This hampered my making what is
called a free throw with a full swing
of the arm, and then, after lot of
practice, | devised this snap of the
wrist that is called the squat throw

my fingers bring both of my crouched

This force of the legs is brought-
right up through my body, which also
swings slightly, into my arms, and
then is centered in the wrist as the
ball slips away from me.

WILL ABOLISH
THIRD DEGREE
People Of Atlanta Rebel
Against 1t

Atlanta, June "a movement -
abolish the use of the sweat box and
third degree by Atlanta police, may
result from circumstances in connec-
ton with the Phagan case No matter
what part of the negro Conley's con-
fession may be true, it is also an ad
mitted fact that the detectives have
from time to time either forced Or
persuaded him into telling a maze of
lies. They have either persuaded"
or brow beaten admissions which are
of doubtful authenticity, from othe"
witnesses and suspects. Some of the
negro witnesses were surrounded by
the police officers and browbeaten and
grilled and questioned and threatend
with hanging, if they did not tell the
truth, for sometimes as long as half 3
day together Frank himself was
subjected to the third degree when first
arrested.
There are city officials who believe
that no matter what the results OF

The second squadron of cavalry will
be under Major j. o. Seamans, of
Atlanta.
New conditions will maintain in the
camps this year. AS expressed by Gen.
Nash, "the officers will catch it for
mer, inspector general of the national
fair, and the privates will get it easy
By this he means that much of the
initiative of camp life will be thrown
on the officers. Gen. Nash expects
them to take hold of affairs and go
through exactly the kind of camp life
that would prevail in war times-both
the pleasant and unpleasant things

come of the encampments this year,
