American In Origin.
Some authorities trace baseball to
an old English ball game called round
ers," which dated from the eighteenth
century. "Rounders" was played In an
open field marked out by five sided
figure, the points being called bases,
first to fourth and home bases. The

he made the circuit without being put
out, but be was retired If bit ball was
caught on the fly or on the first bounce
or when he was struck out by having
the ball thrown at him while running
the bases.
"Rounders" was played In this coun
try before the Revolutionary war and
baseball possibly WAS an outgrowth OF
1t, but Ii SO IT was long time coming
of American origin through the differ

VISIONS IN THE EYES.
Why II Does Not Appear Absolutely

Why II Does Not Appear Absolutely
Dark When You Wink.
When a person winks his eyes he mo-
mentarily covers the entire eyeballs
and everything therefore should turn
absolutely black and be In total dark
ness for the instant. AS matter of
fact, be certainly is in total darkness.
but he is unconscious of same.
The reason he is unconscious is that
the eye is incapable of removing a GER
tain view from itself until an eighth of
second has elapsed. SO the view seen
just before the ball goes into eclipse
continues to be seen for an eighth of a
second. But as the eye Is not covered
by the lid as long as this, new view
arrives to supplement the old view be
fore the old one has vanished Thus
the darkness is not noticed. although
there is no doubt that it exists.
This same popularity of the eye en-,
ables moving pictures TO have their be-
ing. 1t also Is the reason why lighted
torch whirled rapidly around shows a
path instead of a sequence of torches.
Also why rapidly rotating wheel does
not show its spokes. If snapshot be
taken of such a wheel it does show the
spokes, however. and proves the above
fact of persistence Or If the wheel be
viewed by lightning fash 1t shows

THE organized bakery workers
are facing the monopolization of
the bakery industry by what is
known as the bread trust, and
like all other trusts this monopoly
believes in the employment of cheap
non union labor, or the cheapest
help that can possibly be procured.
Just as long as there is no organ
ization to demand that at least
decent wages shall be paid to the
employees this outside monopoly
will grow and enhance its power
off of the necessities of the people.
The bakery workers of the City
of Hamilton, for the best interests
of the city, are asking for assis-
tance in order that they may main
tain their organization. If you as
citizens do your duty, and buy only
bread that bears the union label,
the bakers fight will be somewhat
easier against the bread trust,
