on the ground before her. Then, out of the
hole Piggy has made, Papa picks fine
truff1e as big as hens egg.
If Mama Pig happens to have young
family about month old at the season of
the truffle hunt, that is the time little
Piggy's education begins; for the roasters
are then taken along to be initiated into the
mysteries of the business. French pigs take
to the work kindly enough, especially those
on the artificial truffle farms; for of late
years the truff1e has been to an extent cult
waited. These pigs are so well trained that
they will dig until they find the succulent
vegetable, then they will throw the truff1e
out to one side and look up into the face of
the farmer for the regulation reward of merit,
the three acornS.
The dogs by their keen scent discover the
places in which the truffles grow. They
simply point out the places; but do not dig.
Sheep dogs of peculiar breed and basset
hounds make the best truffle hunters.
Rousseau, who made large fortune in
the artificial growth of black truff1es, one
day made the discovery that these delicious
underground mushrooms were found only
beneath certain kind of oak tree. This was
between fifty and sixty years ago, and these
trees are now known as tr1ff1e oaks.
1t was about that time that the agricul-
turalist awoke to the idea that money
could be made by artifcially growing
truff1es. Science declared that the truff1e
was like the potato and could be grown any
where. BUT Rousseau stuck to his text, and,
paying no attention whatever to science,
carefully gathered up the acorns of the
truffle oak and in November sowed them
close together in burrows about six yards
apart.
Realizing that he could not expect his
nursery of oaks to produce truff1es sooner
than in from six to seven or ten years, he
planted vines between the burrows, and be-
fore the trees had begun to breed truff1es at
their roots these vines had produced enough
fruit to pay the cost of the experiment.
The trees began to produce truff1es at the
expected time, the best harvest when they
were seven years old. The vines were
choked out by the roots of the trees; but
they had served their purpose.

MAGAZINE FO
WHERE NATURE BUNGLES I'm
Continued from page II

in part, because that Master Craftsman,
the titanic Hippocrates, had lived and
thought.
THE Father of Medicine knew that Ma
ture was well meaning but very lg
norant old incompetent when it came to re-
pairing injuries or healing conditions that
were distinctly surgical. And his successors
ever since have been trying to correct the
plumbers of Nature in seeking the easiest
way to patch up an injury.
Nature amputates leg by the simple but
inexpedient process OF sloughing off the un-
joins the Choir Celestial in the process, pro-
vided Instrumentation is not resorted to.
But her mistakes are not confined to ortho-
pedic surgery. In appendix inflammation
she makes heroic attempt to wall of the
seat of trouble by building UP adhesions in
the surrounding tissues, and then waits I'M
til the owner of the internal dynamite fac
tory is away on fishing trip, or somewhere
remote from professional assistance. Then
she proceeds to blow the factory into smith
ereens-and the owner with it.
Even the sister science of medicine is far
in advance of Mature euro" in this matter,
particularly if the recently discovered relief
of appendicitis by arseniate of copper and
eiminants should prove a success.
If any affection arises within the middle
ear, the best Dame Nature can do is to per
forate the eardrum, and set up discharging
abscess.
If in the eye, she obliterates the function
of the cornea or lenses, and leaves the
manned wanderer to grope his life through
a world of darkness unless some wizardry
of the oculist shall transplant healthy rabbit
eye tissue to replace that destroyed by
wound or inflammation.
And even the mechanical arrangement of
the various parts of the eye could be Justly
criticized. Helmholtz, whose scholarly re-
searches have done so much to throw light
upon light,-also sound, said, in fact, that
if he had an optical workman who could not
make better pair of lenses than Nature
often provided, he'd discharge him.

be done by,'-for when their turn came,
and they were spitted upon the toeman S
steel-thev expected and secured conven-
tlonal disposition of their remains. This
gave them the privilege OF hopping unaided
into the numbering boat of the old ferryrnan
Charon, and they could get out on the far
ther side of the dark and turbid Styx with
out assistance from sympathetic and kindly
friends, whose first inquiry might be, "What
have you done with your left leg and the
top of your head?"
1t is almost unbelievable that, owing to
this antidissection prejudice, there prevailed
the densest ignorance of anatomy, even as
late as the middle of the seventeenth century.
A dispute arose on one occasion between
two grave professors and the court physician
of the Margrave of Baden, regarding the
location of the heart. The council had
decided to put plaster over the heart; but
they couldn't agree just where to put it. Two
contended that the heart was in the middle
of the chest, which statement was vigorously
disputed by the third. To settle the matter,
they opened a pig-and found the heart, of
course, on the left side.
They had strayed far aheld from the
teachings of exact observation the patient
noting of symptoms, collation. of facts, and
congratulations of the revered 3Father of
Medicine For Hippocrates may truly be
said TO nave SNAPPED the mOlelS In winch the
brain bullets of the Pasteurs, VirchowS, Flex-
ners, and Cabots are cast.
In this early morning of the worlds in
tellectual light it required great and daring
pioneer to blaze trail through the almost
impossible jungles of ignorance, the mo-
raises of prejudice, and map out straight
course to the lofty mountains of Reason and
Scientific Fact. The seas Hippocrates sailed
were uncharted, his sole compass the ana
lytical deductions of his own giant mind.
And so we see why Herr Professor Lexer
was enabled to practise his wizard carpentry
upon the stiffened knee of the young German
girl. Even pygmy can see farther by
mounting upon the shoulders of giant.
And a really great man like Lexer might
logically achieve marvellous range of vision

Eastern College will line up against the

ances in past years may be taken as a
criterion the aggregation that faces the

Eastern College Went through the sea-

very few contests. Charley Moran will

duty on the hillock. Ryan has not pitched

CHANCE WILL QUIT GAME
IF HE FAILS TO DELIVER
Peerless Leader Sure He Can Come Back This Sea
sons Satisfied with Showing of His Team
and Praises Griff's Nationals
BY WILLIAM PEET.

'I am in good physical condition, my
legs are stronger. and / am confident
that unless injuries put me on the shelf
/ shall have a great year. I expect to
play first base, and plan to be in every
game"
Thus spoke Frank Chance, manager
of the New York Highlanders, when in
terviewed yesterday afternoon.
Chance was unable to show himself at
first base in the opening game OF the
season here Thursday, owing to strain
ed tendon in his right leg, but the hurt
is only a slight one, and the Peerless
Leader expects to be back in harness
about the first of the week.
The most disappointed member OF the
Highland clan Thursday was Frank
Chance, who was fairly itching to get
into the game. He did not make up
his mind to lay off until the very last
minute, deciding that it might be TO his
own best interest to rest up Few DAYS
more.
Chance is not a stranger to Washing
ton in the strict sense Of the word, for
he played here back in the National
League days, during 1898 and 1892 but
the Capital has changed greatly since
then. and the Peerless Leaoer has been
busy since his arrival Wednesday night
calling on old friends and taking in the
sights.
Grin Has Good Club.
Asked what he thought of Griff's club,
the Peerless Leader replied: Its
mighty good team, fast and resourceful.
! had read all about the Washington
aggregation last year and their sensa-
tional winning streak. and was led to
believe that Griff had gathered together
e much overrated bunch, but after
watching them in the opening game
can honestly say that he has fine
club. strong in every department ana
one likely to, cause whole lot of trouble
to the leaders before the season closes"
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Hiehlanders were forced to eat humble
pie in the opening game, Manager Chance
was perfectly satisfied with the showing
OF his charges: in fact, he was more
pleased than he cared to tell, and be-
lieves that when Derrick, his regular
shortstop, gets back into the game and
re, himself. is able to hold down first
base, that the Highlanders will be ready
to give a good account of themselves at
all times, providing. of course, hard luck
does not overtake them in lunches
The New York newspaper men, who
spent the weary training camp days with
the Yankees in Bermuda, stated that
Frank Chance played great ball during
the exhibition games and looked 25 per
cent better than at any time during the
past five years while he was with the
Cubs.
Chance is thirty-five years old, but does
not look il. Bobby Wallace, Hans Wag
ner, and others are his seniors, and are
still drawing wages in the big show.
The Peerless Leader is credited with say
ing, IF 1 don't play good ball this sea-
son i will quit the game for good, as

only to be turned over to the Boston
Braves as soon as the Griffmen reached
the Capital, has already made good with
the Stallings crowd.
In the game against New York Thurs
day Connolly cracked out one hit, and
his average since joining the Braves &C
cording to a Boston expert, is .292. Con-
molly is leading the club with the stick.
