at Yale, for little more than a month
he has been director of the Union Pa

of his fathers many triumphs-and
also of the powerful Hartman Ma

Modest and unassuming, Hartman
has shown signs of tenacity and thor

associates of his father, who are keep

knows something of railroading, too,

engaged in the operating and trans

presumably as enjoyable a gathering

Lon Of the Sea.

There are many pleasant pursuits
open to the sea fisherman besides fish
ing. "In Sea-Fishing," Mr. c. o. Minch-
in tells Of the interest Of the plank
ton, or floating life of the ocean. The
upper waters contain eggs of fishes;
crustaceans in their larval stages,
and hosts of various things too numer-
Gus to catalogue, many of which are
of great beauty both of form and col
or.
1t requires no hard labor and no
costly apparatus to collect. for a tow
net is easily made and as easily
worked. A ring of stout brass or
painted iron wire about foot in dia-
meter is fitted to the mouth OF a bag
of fine muslin some two feet long.
This is suspended evenly by three or
four cords of equal length to an ordi-
nary hand-line, and towed behind a
boat moving not faster than a mile an
hour. or lowered from the end of a
pier when the tide Is flowing.
At intervals the net can be taken
up. and the contents washed out into
a large pickle bottle Of clear sea wa
ter. Then they can be picked out, one
by one, with glas tube, or pipette,
and transferred to small vial of spir-
it's for preservation and examination
at leisure. None OF them will live out
of the sea- Many can be well exam
ined with strong hand magnifying

eggs, require the powers Of micros'

TELEPHONE POLES OF GLASS
Wood, or Even Concrete, Likely to
Give Place to New Idea Devised
in Brain of German.

Near Frankfort, in Germany, there
is manufacturing plant which turns
out glass poles for telephone and tele-
graph wires In order to give them
solidity and strength there is thick
! framework OF woven wire in the glass.
These poles are taking the place OF
the wooden ones In many sections OF
Germany.
II may be that in time all such tele-
graph and telephone poles throughout
the world will be made OF glass be-
cause there are so many advantages
in them. In the first place they will
last practically for all time. except in
cases OF unusual accident. where they
may be broken, as in railroad wrecks.
They will last even longer than iron
or steel. as weather has practically no
effect upon them. nor can insects get
into them and destroy them.
And in those days when wood is be-
coming more and more valuable, II
will be quite saving OF the precious
wood to make such things of glass

Paving blocks are made of glass and

material for street surfaces, being ft-

water-tight, no water running down

paved with glass, and they have bet

In the Title Market.

In the past 55 years nearly 45v
American girls have welded titled for
eigners and it has been estimated by
those who keep in close touch with
such affairs abroad that 160 of these
girls brought to their husbands dow
ries aggregating 1851, 100000 in cold
American cash And in the great ma
jority of the marriages this cash has
been squandered in a most extrava-
CANT manner by the husband, who
has proved himself anything but
thoughtful or dutiful This realization
of their grave mistake caused the
wives to become disgusted and either
live apart from their husbands or inn
mediately to start legal proceedings
for divorce.

Minors Play.

New York, July 25.-Not since the
season s early weeks has such a base
ball hiatus occurred as Thursday, when
not a single major league game was
played and minor league contests in
che east were conspicuous for their
rarity. It was an off day any way
for the American League, the western
teams being on their way east to open
new series today. Four games were
scheduled in the National League, but
rain prevented all of them, as it did
numerous minor organizations games
So general was the rain in major
league eastern territory that no at
tempts were made to start games in
New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia,
while in Boston the brave Reds had
played less than an inning when the
downpour came. 1t was the last day of
the series in each city and in conse-
quence doubleheaders are likely to be
arranged to be played during the next
eastern invasion of the western con-
tingent.
Pittsburg had to leave New York
having taken three straight. In Bos-
ton, Cincinnati took two out of three.
while Chicago had to be content with
one in three in Philadelphia. Brooklyn
and ST. Louis divided the two games
played in the former city.
The eastern clubs in the National
have gone west but only one game
Philadelphia at Pittsburg -is scheduled
for today.
IN the American League Chicago will
open in Boston, Cleveland in New
York, st. Louis in Washington and De-
