The Ten Greatest
Modern Inventions.

Last year the Scientific American
offered several prizes for essays on
the ten greatest modern inventions.
The stipulations were made that the
greatness of an invention would be
measured in terms of practical sue
cess and general usefulness to man
kind The contestants were limited to
machines. devices and discoveries
commercially introduced in the last
twenty-five years." they must be
'patentable though not necessarily
patented"
The judges had difficulty in select
ing the winner, owing to the wide di-
versity of opinion among the contes-
tants. No two competitors selected
the same set of inventions. They IL
nally decided to award first prize TO
William l. Wyman of Washington, ID.

THE STEAM TURBINE-Has eff

two-thirds, and is sending the old re-
ciprocating engines to the scrap heap.
THE GASOLINE AUTOMOBILE

CLUB MANAGERS
HUNT PLAYERS
HEAD OF EACH ORGANIZATION
IN THE CITY LEAGUE WERE
BUSY GETTING SIGNATURES
FOR 1914 TEAM.

Managers Of each team in the new
City Baseball league were as busy as
they could be yesterday, following the
decision that all local players would
be considered free agents and that
they could sign with whatever team
they desired, thus canceiling the
agreement signed IN the Twilight
league of last year.
There are a number of stars" that
each mana ger WOULD he pleased to
have on his list, and these were early
sought after the meeting had adj
journed. Some signatures from play
ers Were obtained an hour after the
meeting at which the league was
formed, and the interest shown as
sures the fans of this city and sec
ton that a good article of amateur
ball would be played at the local park
during the coming season.
The association will elect an official
scorer, an umpire, and all officers
needed to successfully carry the
league through. The admission will
be made at as low a figure as pos
sible, to work up interest in the Sc
ries, and there is a possibility of sew
Sral trophies being offered for meri-
torious individual and team work dur
ing the season. All the teams will
retain the names Of local houses or
agencies, as they did in the Twilight
league, and the successful pennant-
winning team will be assured of a
banquet at the seasons ending. A
great deal of interest has been injected
into the new league, and favoriteS are
already being picked.

STOCKCOMPANY
IS PERMANENT
FOR PENSACOLA
MANAGER LEVY CLOSES WITH
NORMAN FIELD TO BRING CON-
PANY HERE FOR INDEFINITE
PERIOD.

For the first time in it's history Pen
sacola is to have a permanent dra-
matte stock company. Monday, April
9th, is the date for its opening at
the opera house.
The company will come to Pensa-
cola for an indefinite period and will
give to local theatre-goers the same
high class productions that the larger
cities of the country are used to, and
all at popular prices. Three plays
being one of the standard royalty
plays known to theatre goers -'ho are
familiar with the theatrical world.
Manager Levy in concluding ar
rangements with Mr.. Norman Field. a
well known leading man. to bring to
Pensacola a company of first class
dramatic artists, feels satisfied that
he is giving to Pensacolians one of
the best popular priced stock COM
panies in America today. Said Man
ager Levy THE Norman Field Play
ers' is not the conventional repertoire
company. 1t is a company that will
deserve the patronage of local theatre
goers. Such plays as Paid in Full,
I'm the Bishops Carriage" THE Man
from Home 1.-The Christian" prince
Otto" What Happened to Jones, .
The States Attorney" The Boss, -
North of 3d." in fact we are going to
show what can be done in the way Of
high class amusement for 10, 20 and
OV CSHtS-
I'm few days, Mr.. Harry Coroneas
a we'll known artist will arrive from
New York to begin painting scenery
for the opening weeks productions.
Mr.. Coroneas will remain in Pensa-
cola and paint scenery for each pro-
duction that is shown. Mr.. George
Albertson a stage carpenter, viii also
arrive in a few days to build the nee
essary equipment for scenic detail.
The Norman Field Players will use
identically the same class OF stock
plays that are being used by the stock
companies in Rochester, Atlanta, Pro-
violence, Elrnira. Cleveland, etc, in
fact Mr.. Field will play many of the
same plays he played the past sea-
son in Rochester"
There will be the usual matinees,
and several novel features for the Ia
dies and children will be inauguratec
during the stay of the company in
Pensacola. Mr.. Harry Martell arrives
next Monday to conclude definite ar
rangements for the company in Pen
sacola.

energy formerly wasted in whirlins
line shafting and betting.
THE LINOTYPE-Has made it pos
sible to set type from five to ten times
as rapidly as before; has saved time
and expense and made the modern
newspaper.
ELECTRIC WELDING-Makes il
easy to join the most antagonistie
metals with safety, surety and swift
ness. It was tho first radical change
that the art of the smithy had under
gone in historic times.
In this age of inventive genius and
scientific accomplishment, it is hard
in many cases, to measure the relative
Importance of mechanical devices and
to decide which has been worth the
most to the human race.
The linotype very properly occupies
a place in the ten that were in this
instance selected, but The Journal
would certainly include as we'll the
rotary printing press. The linotype
has had great influence by enabl-
ing the publishing world to produce a
much larger product of printed mat
ter but were it not for the rotary
press the linotype itself would lose
much of its importance.
