Besides, it would be quite a card for

The Squire saw" very well, in

All-Star Ball Nine Chosen by Critics

One of the chief diversions of the off
season in any American sport 10 picking
all-star, all-American, or all-something
teams. and then picking them to pieces.
Individual experts usually do the pick
ing and Individual bugs do the picking
to pieces. The picking in either case
almost invariably represents the personal
opinion of an individual.
Herewith is presented an all-star base
ball team based on performances during
the last three years which will stand q
lot of picking to pieces without damage
to anybody's feelings, because 1t Is not
an individual selection, but the composite
choice OF many minds, each as free as
possible from the conditions which usu-
ally influence Individual preference.
This all-star aggregation is chosen by
the composite vote Of the Chalmers
trophy commission tabulated for the
three seasons during which the trophy
has been awarded. AS will be remem-
bered, this award is made each year by
a commission composed OF eleven news
paper men, one in each city included in
the major leagues. Each commissioner
votes for the eight players, who. in his
opinion, have been the most value &c
their teams during the seaSon, arrang'
ing them in the order of his preference
This gives the player at the top Of eacf
ballot eight points and the man at th'
bottom one point. The player who re-
ceiveS the highest total OF points wins

three years and selecting for each posi-

the Brooklyn man has had something on

enough to have Home Run" Baker at
third would not swap him for another
player In either league, not even for the
great Zim.
There may be greater shortstops on the
diamond next season than Honus Wagner
will be this year, for he cannot go on for
ever. In fact Joe Tinker and that other

basket ball at the University of Omaha

late start the basket ball schedule has
been arranged so that the first home
game will come with Hastings college
here January 81.

and with the securing OF Coach Ritche

season. practically all OF the obstacles
have been overcome so that one OF the
best fives the school has turned out in
years IL expected.
The squad Is seriously missing Parsons
and Halsey OF last seasons squad. Par

year, was one of the most aggressive
players the school has had for some time
and at present the indications are such
that II will be a hard proposition to fill
his place. Haisey was also ono OF the
best players the university has had for
number OF seasBns. With the absence
of both these men, Coach Ritehie will
have his hands fun developing men tc
take their place. With the exception OF
these players ali OF last seasons men ars

player OF the squad, is showing up ir
fine form and great deal is expected

MAKE ARTIFICIAL SAPPHlRES
Stones Have All the Properties, Chem
caI, Physical and Optical, OF
the Genuine Gems.

News comes from Paris that at last
artificial sapphires have been pro-
duced, after many unsuccessful ex-
periments.
- Artificial rubies are now an old
story. The artificial stones have all
the properties, chemical, physical and
optical, of the natural gems. The
only way in which experts can detect
them is BIZ finding them too perfect,
as the natural gems have microscopic
irregularities and inclosed Imperfect
tons that are absent from the arti-
fetal product.
The stumbling block In the making
of sapphires has been the color. Eth
er the experimenters could not pro-
duce desired blue, or the stone would
have crystalline structure that made
its detection easy.
Now, however, M. Verneuil has sub
mitted to the academy of sciences
stones which he, has made. colored
with oxide of titanium, which, after q
severe examination, are pronounced
identical with true sapphires, though
It is just possible that cutting them
in gem form may reveal some irregu-
larity of reflection or refraction.

India was the original home OF tAe
bungalow, the native name OF thls
house being bangla, which signitied
country house of one floor only. on
account Of the increasing popularity
of the bungalow style of building IN
our own country, it will be of interest
to note some Of the special character
istics associated with these structures
in the land of their origin.
In India it is the Europeans VINO
lie in the bungalows, which are built
in all sizes and styles, according to
the taste and wealth of the owner.
The single ground floor plan is fire.
quently departed from by the addition
of rooms, utilizing the unIer-rooF
snace on the second floor. Invariably,
however, the bungalow is surrounded
with a verauda, and the roof of which
affords & shelter from the sun, though
in America the veranda is often con-
fined to one end of the house or runs
only part of the way round. In the
chief cities of Calcutta, Madras and
Bombay. some of the bungalows as
sumo the proportions of palatial resi-
dences, but in the smaller towns
they are of more moderate preten-
sions. In general, they are provided
with exterior Offices or buildings to
accommodate the large retinue Of serv-
ants common in Indian life.
Besides these private bungalows,
there are military bungalows on a
large scale for accommodating troops
in the military division; also public
bungalows maintained by the govern
rnent for the accommodation OF traV
elers, in which are blended the tea
lures Of an English roadside inn anc
an eastern caravansary. These bunga
lows, though they vary greatly II
actual comfort, are all built on the
same plan. They are Quadrangular II
shape, and one story high, with roof:
protective so as to form porticos anc
verandas. Along the trunk roads they
are divided into suites Of two, three
