 Malcolm Mcdonald says one cs the greatest drawbacks to the pros 3cution of mining operations in the AniaL md Tuluksak is the difficulty and expense of getting adequate machinery ou to the ground. One reason for this, he asserts, is, that shpowners are afraid to venture their vessels into Kusko- kwim bay because it is uncharted and abounds in shoals. Consequently freight rates are high.
 While the United States has taken steps to protect the seals in the waters of the north. no attempt has been made to regulate the slaughter of the whales, says an exchange. The early extermination of whales and seals was predicted at congress of German doctors and scientists recently held in Munich. Prof. Sarasen, of Basel, showed that in 1910 a single seal fish ing company had brought back from Kerguelan islands 4,500 tons of oil made from the sea elephant, while in the same year four ships killed lz100 of these animals

 ALBANY. Feb. 14.-After a confer ence with Goernor Sulzer today Vim cent Astor announced that he will take mp agricultural research for the benefit of humanity as his life work.
 For some time he has expressed himself as sick of the life of idle rich and as hankering after some occupa- ton which would give him something to think of. He went to Albany spe- cially to interview Governor sulzer and to secure his advice. When the governor learned the natural bent of Astor's mind he advised him to turn to agriculture.

MECHANICS DEFEAT HARTFORD
 IN HARD HITTING CONTEST
League Leaders Take Advantage of Enemy's
 Mistakes and Bat Well

By taking advantage of Hartford S errors and hitting the Senators pitch CTS at critical times, Bridgeport down ed Hartford by to T in Hartford, yes terday. The Hartford Courant makes the following comment on the game:
 There were no startling features in the entire game outside of some good stick work. Bingo Wallace, who once
 made his home with Hartford in the old Connecticut League, showed the boys here that he still knows how to hit them out and that he has right to the title of ttBingo.' He got four safe hits. one a double, in his six trips to the plate.
 Snyder worked the whole route for the Mechanics, but 1t was well for him that it stopped at the ninth in ming. Hipfel started off for Hartford, but gave way in the fourth inning because he was unsteady, and Murray Parker, who was added to the Hart ford, band only yesterday morning, went into the breach. He held out when Moves went into bat for him, and Geist worked the last inning.
 Bridgeport's first tally was a gift. Phillips walked and Stow sacrificed him to second. Silzer then tore off g. hit to left and it was so near the irlfield that Philips did not try for home Duggan let it go by and was slow in turning to recover so slow that Philips set out for home and beat the poor throw.
 Curry made Bridgeport a gift in the third Wallace made his second hit for a starter and stole second. Curry was asleep and when Fitzgerald peg ged to get Wallace, though the ball went two feet on Curry's side of the bag,s he had. not got anywhere near enough to it to stop it, Wallace going right on to third. He followed this up with another bad one, muffing Boultes' liner and letting Wallace score.
 Stow put Hfpfe1 in bad right at the beginning of the fourth with single to left and the Senator's southpaw could not seem to get down to earth again, passing Si1zer and hitting Rus sell. With the bases full Hipfe1 was benched and Murray Parker rushed to the front. Snyder walked and Stow was forced in with a run. Wallace hit safely for the third time and two more runs counted Bou1tes flied out to Kauff and Snyder did not dare try for home, but he got there a moment later on Bowman's out at first Burns end ed the inning with a fly to Barney.
 Tn the fifth Bridgeport got another, Philips walking, taking third on Sil- gers single and tallying Aon Russell's sacrifice fly to Duggan. Neither side was able to do much until the eighth and then Hartford got in its best work of the day and came near to nos1ng out the Mechanics.
 With the head of Hartfords batting list coming up in. the ninth, things looked rosy, but once more Curry it. Philips was an easy out, Fitzgerald to Keliher. Stow came

rha Anta, prun, corna.

One day Professor BugnIon visited a little island on Lake Amobalangoda. in Ceylon. While idling about he sud denly became aware of faint Grum- ming noise. Turning In the direction from which the sound came, he per ceived colony of termites beneath some dry leaves that had fallen from a bread tree. The noise, which last ed for few seconds. sounded like the very distant roll of a drum. On closer investigation Professor BugnfOn discovered that it was caused by a little band of termites beating lively tattoo with their mandibies against the bottom of the leaves They had evil dently been disturbed by his approach and were warning the working bat talion of the army. On several other occasions under different conditions the same drum signal of danger by the ants was noted by the professor.- Youths Companion.

GOTCH TO MEET
 WINNER OF BOUT
Wrestling Champ to Take on ZbySzko or Lurich for
 $25,OO

Frank Gotch. the worlds champion wrestler, has at last shown his hand A week ago an offer was sent to the Humboldt farmer, offering him a purse of $250oo to wrest1e Zbyszko in New York, either at Madison Square Garden the last of this month or in the open air on the Fourth of July. He did not respond directly to the wire, but yesterday sent word to Jack Herman, the manager Of Zbyszko, that he was ready to make a match with the best man iu this country, and that he wanted ZbysziLo and George Lurich, the Russian, to fight 1t out between them. This means that the talked of match between the Pole and the Rus sian is now an assured thing.
 In fact Herman sent word to Jack Curley, LIrich's manager, that he would be at the ringside next Thurs day night at Atlantic Garden, New York, where the Russian wrestles a finish with Cazeaux.

RITCHE LIKELY
 TO FIGHT CROSS
Lightweight Champion Will An. nOunce His Next Opponent
 This Week

Spokane, Wash, May 6-"Before VI leave Spokane this week I am con- hdent I shall be able to announce defi- nftely Willie Ritchie's July Fourth en- gagement,' said Billy Nolan, manager of the lightweight champion, shortly after his arrival in Spokane.
 Promoters in New York and Cal ifornia have been keeping the wires pretty hot since we left Denver, and we are really very near to an agree ment. There is only one man in New York that I consider a good match for Ritchie. That is Leach Croes. Britton is not to be considered, for he has been beaten by other fighters and particularly by Ritchfe himself when the latter first broke into the professional game.
 Gross is the biggest New York card and really the only one back there that deserves a chance. McFarland simply won't make weight, and 1t IS unneces- sary to go into the many reasons why we will simply take the stand on the weight question that all other cham pions ahead of us have taken.
 California fans want to see Ritchie in action against Rivers, and am of the opinion this fs our best proposition. but that also hangs fire. Rivers is undoubtedly our greatest drawing card in California;"

Tho Regeneration Of organo.

Many inferior animals have, as is well known. the power of replacing various parts of the body when lost, such as the tail and even in some cases the head. A worm may sometimes be divided into various sections, and each section will proceed to live it's separate existence. Experiments made by natu- ralists to obtain a better understa nd ing in this regenerating faculty have shown that the lungs of frogs and sala- manders have grown again after being almost wholly extirpated; also the horns of snaiIs have been extirpRted with like results. Each so called horn has an eye which communicates with the outside world, and these eyes have been regrown with the horn. thOggh practically useless for purposes of vii sion. It is esta blished likewise that the caudal horn or tentacIe of the silk worm if taken off will grow again, al though it will be smaller than the primitive one and in some cases invisi- ble to the naked eye. The crab and lobster, as is well known, can grow new claws.-Harper's Weekly.

TENNIS HARDER THAN
 FOOTBALL SAYS WRENN
 FORMER HARVARD STAR

There was once a limited States ten his champion named Robert D. Wrenn' wrenn was also at one time famous football player, in the days when there were 35 minute halves to that game. And in speaking of the two,NGr.Wrenn once said:
 tsThere is no comparison in the strain the two games put upon the body. It is much easier to go through two 35 minute halves of foot bal than to play f1ve-set cnamplon- ship match of tennis"
 in lazy, lackadaisical manner But 1t isn't really tennis. Many young players begin too strenuously. The first spring day on the courts calls 1n- vitingly for a 'good, long afternoons sport" Resu1t-getting overtlred.
 Now the overtired boy goes right at the game the second day. He won rest. He won't give his torn-down tissues a chance. Result, poor game of tennis, not only then, but for weeks afterward!
 The right way to play tennis is to start in easily. Don't play more than two sets of singles and one of dou- bles the first day out Don't play those if VOL feel tired after the first or sec ond set. It is not an indication or weakness but Of strength to stop pe- fore YOU have had enough. Should you see Mclaughlin, present United States singles tennis champion, come out to play for the first time this spring. you would probably De amazed at his tactics.
 Should you watch Larned, the won aey, of the tennis world, at his first practice you would be bitterly disap- pointed. Both of these men will pay no attention to the small matter or being beaten. They will just jog about inc court, hit the balls easily, care not a whit if some dub" plays them or @ +I,a court.

ster, a husky one, pitching for the same ''Commy.' It was Jim John stone and he was twirIing some swell games those days, for the pitchers had to deliver for Comiskey. as he carried only a small staff then. He went along nicely, but later was shift ed to Grand Rapids, Mich, Deacon Ellis having made a dicker with Com iskey for him.
 After working for the Deacon for quite a time, Johnstone joined the Newark team of the Eastern league and later drifted to the Pacific coast, where the playing season extended to eight months instead of four and a. half and five as was the case those days. While on the coast Jim was taken down with malaria and from strapping young man of 200 pounds he was reduced to 40 pounds and thought it was all over with Jeems but the flowers. It was a hard fight, but the warm climate finally began to benefit him and he gained slowly. He was too weak to get into the game and pitch any, but one day it was sug gested that he might help himself by unpiring a bit.
 wondered how he would fare against some of the rough ones if he made a rotten decision, but finally he decided to take chance and he did. He um- pired a game for two teams and got through so well that he gained cour- age. With his daily exercise came back his strength and it was not long before he was back to his old form. His umpiring had been a success. He received. offers from managers to get back into the harness again as pitch CT, but after thinking the matter over he determined to stick to the indica- tor. He soon had an offer from the big league and remained there for a number of years, the break coming with President Lynch last fall.
 ''It might have been my luck to be- come a $10,00O pitcher" said Jim while talking shop one night, '"but I guess I ana just as well off as one of the umpire brigade, for I will last longer this way

Geist started for first, but he was too late, and when Keliher threw there was no chance. Geist did not gel Che ball and when it dropped Stow came in from third That run was the hard est one of all, for with the outcome of the ninth in Hartford's. half it left the Senators just one shy of tieing.
 It was evident that Morley was go- ing to do his level best to win, for he started off the ninth with a single to left He stole second. but was held there while Barney flied out to Bow man. Curry's out at first put Morley on third and with two out Keliher produced his third single of the day. scoring Morley. The hopes of the fans faded out in a moment when Kauff raised a high one that was gobbled up by Stow. Score:

 While baseball originated in the United States. it was taken up in Can ada at an early date. and the Domin- lon had some good hines long before the game was placed on an organized and professional basis. Among the clubs of the late eos and the early TO's were the Ottawas. the Montreals, the Maple Leafs of Guelps, and the Da0ntIess club of Toronto.
 These aggregations met some of the best of the teams across the border, and were as often victorious as defeat ed.
