AFTER "KING" COBB'S CROWN
Joe Jackson and Iris Speaker Eager
to Gust Georgia Peach From
His Exalted Perch.

The opening of the big league base
ball season inaugurated many inter
esting events, but none more likely to
be followed with keen attention than
the race for leading batting honors
between Ty Cobb of Detroit, Joe Jack
son of Cleveland and iris Speaker OF
Boston.
Cobb has led the league in batting
for six years, and last season hung
up the awesome average of .410, which
is going some. Jackson, for two years
close pursuer of Cobb, pasted the
pellet for 1896, while Iris Speaker
main stroke in the Boston Red Sox
outfit, batted for 1888.
Speaker and Jackson both have
done great things SO far this season,
southpaws and right-handers all have
looked alike to these two SO far as
the hittability of their hurling offer.

Breathing Through the Ears.

The way to avoid tuberculosis and
lung disease is by breathing through
the ears" says DR. John E. Davis, OF
Virginia university. Man breathed
through his ears before he learned to
use his nose. In early days when man
was fish he had gills and inhaled
and exhaled through them. Part of
these breathing organs still remain,
and If cultivated can be put to good
use"
He says that if child is taught to
breathe through his ears after proper
practice he will be able to open or
shut his ears just as fish works his
gills.
We wonder what our scientists and
medical men will have to say to this.

oRlENTALs FVADE LAW.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Information
that hundreds of Chinese and Japan
csc annually enter the country in the
guise of students, only to evade the
stringent immigration laws, has come
into the hands of the commissioner
general of immigration The commits
sioner, it is stated, is preparing for
thorough investigation of the subject
with the end in view of making still
more stringent the regulations to pre-
vent this practice. Under the treaties
between the United States, Japan and
China young men and women are per-
mitted to enter this country to study
No time limit is provided for them to
complete their work and thus the
present regulations are deemed lax
upon this matter. 1t is asserted that
hereafter reports Of the Chinese and
Japanese students will be kept and it
will be required that they make peri
odical report, endorsed by the various
school officials. When the periods of
schooling are ended the privilege of
remaining in this country will be with
drawn. In numerous cases, it is said,
Chinese and Japanese have entered
the country as students, attend class
es for week or SO, and then feel that
they are secure to remain in the coun-
try indefinitely.
