wArt:K GATHERING MINERALS

WATER GATHERING MINERALS.
Rain water as it leaves the clouds
is pure. As It passes through the
atmosphere II absorbs more or less
carbonic acid and air which 1t carries
with ii into the ground. AS it seeps
through the upper soil it will general
ly absorb still more carbonfc acid
gas from the decaying animal and
vegetable matter almost always pres
ent. Should the water fall on insolu-
Bile rocks, such as granite or mar
BILE, it will remain fairly pure. But
If 1t passes through q layer Of lime
stone, the carbonic acid gas which
it carries will cause it to dissolve
away this rock. and as a result BIZ
carbonate of lime will be present in
the water. Should it pass through
q layer Of sulphate Of lime or gyp-
sum. the water will contain large
amount of this material.
II is generally known that the BIZ
carbonates Of lime and magnesia,
when present in the water, form a
comparatively soft scale: the sui
phates Of the same and also silica
form a hard. fiinty scale; the chlor-
ides and nitrates are apt to cause
corrosion; and the salts Of soda and
potash present. while not scale-form-
ing. are apt to cause foaming when
sufficiently concentrated.

MILLER J. HUCC|NS Tells What He
HOPES TO Do DURING THE SEASON
Manager of St. Louis Nationals Believes He will Build
Good Club-He Will Give up His Place at
Second For Dots Miller

I ] may be in a position To convert IVY
WingoS into an outlielder. for Ivy is
too good IL hitter to be kept ON the
bench and the chances are that the
veteran Pat O'Connor's experience
will land him the regular backstop-
ping duty.
To Develop Team Play.
With the acquisition OF Artie Hof-
man to the Cardinals. l believe that it
will be necessary to develop the team
play Of the inner aud outer defenses.
| Magee is one of the fastest men
that ever wore big League uniform
and I have high hopes Of developing
(, the fiashy lad into a. first baseman, as
there are few equals of Dots Miller
as a second sackcr. and since it is
about time for me to retire from ac-
tive participation in the game I ex-
pect to place Miller at The keystone
sack.
! Then. too. Hoffman can be used at
either short, first. or in the outheld.
Arnold Hauser is in pretty bad shape
and the starry little shortstop's alb
sence will necessitate using either Hof-
man or Butler at short until Hauser
is able to return, which I hope will
be before May 1.
Steve Evans is sadly underrated by
| tIle 81. LOUIS IdIS, dS 1S also GeOfS0
Whitted, and once the Cards hit their
winning stride those two will prove
as good if not better than so per cent
of the National League players who
come in for the praise of press and
public today.
"Rehel' Oal5es in centre field and
Chief Wilson in right are an excellent
combination and my chief difficulty
will probably be that Of selecting a
regular left fielder. George Whitted
and Ivy Wingo, or Art Holman, are
eligible for the left berth.
Patsy Cowmilk. our Ethiopian mas
cot, will be carried with the club again
this year, as there is no better gloom
dispeller in the world than little
Patsy. Steve Evans, who discovered
Patsy. wrote me recently urging that
the mascot be not lost sight Of, and
concluded with, watch our smoke" {"
In summing up our prospects.
must say that the Cardinals will be a
hustling ball club this year and il
would not surprise me one whit if we
finish in the first division.

Charles 7. Jesse reported from COM
mittee that an examination of conditions
on York street led to the conclusion that
boardwalk would be the best to put
