NEW YORK, May Up in the
vanguard of the American League
pennant race. the New York Yankees
are booming along. beating down all
opposition and deporting themselves
generally in the manner peculiar 20
pennant contenders. There are many
reasons for this miraculous upiift OF
a perennial cellar occupant, but there
are three potent reasons which stand
out in sharp relief to all OF the
others. These three are the pitching
mainstays-the three Rays-keating,
Caldwell and Fisher. This trio is de-
livering the kind of ball that wins
pennants, and they are being sup
ported in AL style by their team
mates. In batting, fielding. base

FEATs OF DIVERS.
Remarkable Endurance of the Pearl
Fishers of Torres.

Remarkable Endurance Of the Pearl
Fishers of Torres.
The greatest depth recorded Of work
done by diver in a suit is 1872 feet.
This depth was reached by the Spanish
diver, Angel Erostarbe, who recovered
$4,000 in silver ingots from the wreck
Of the steamship Skyro off Cape Finis-
terre. The sponge divers of the Medi-
terranean work at a maximum Of 100
feet and the Australian pearlers at
40 feet.
The greatest depths reached by div
ers without apparatus are used by the
pearl fishers of Torres, mostly Malay
ans from the smaller islands. They go
down with the aid Of stone and a
loop in the rope thereto attached which
they clutch with their toes, these or
CANS being far more prehensile than
in races normally shod. They seldom
venture to descend below fifty feet,
depth at which they can remain for
two minutes. The stone enables them
to remain at the bottom while they are
sweeping the pearl oysters into bas-
ket attached to the stone. When the
diver feels that he must come up to
breathe he releases his toes from the
beckett In the rope and at once floats
to the surface.
Young and healthy Malayan divers
working oyster beds below six fathoms
make four descents an hour during
four hours in the morning and the
same during four hours in the after
noon following a four hour rest A
civilized man at a depth Of forty-two
feet finds such a dive intolerable after
a single minute.- New York Sun.

THE MALTESE DERBY.
It's Curious Race Course With Go az

It's Curious Race Course With Go az
You Please Rules.
Horse racing is favorite sport the
world over, but it is doubtful whether
any nation can boast Of such curious
race course or claim more remarkable
ideas of the sport than the Maltese.
Once year the road skirting Sliema
harbor is reserved as race course, and
the people turn out in thousands.
There is no regulation Of the course.
The crowd simply clears out Of the
way as the horses come along.
The jockeys ride without brides or
saddles, and each carries a whip In
either hand-one for his own mount,
the other to keep back any horse which
may try to overtake him. We saw one
Of the spectators deliberately trip a
horse up by putting his leg out, at
grave risk to himself.
These things, however incredible as
they seem to sportsInen In this coun-
try, are taken as quite a matter Of
course, and consequently hardly a year
goes by without fatality Of some
kind. All things considered, It Is not
likely that the Ego as you please" rules
of this Maltese derby are likely to COM
mend themselves to other turf authori-
ties.-Wide World Magazine.

Quicksilver.

The ore from which quicksilver is
obtained is brilliant red rock known
as cinnabar. When Of high purity it
is actually vermilion In color. CHINA
bar is the original source Of the pig
ment known commercially as vermil-
ion. 1t is compound of sulphur and
quicksilver, and In order to separate
the latter from the sulphur the rock is
roasted. Passing of in the form Of a
gas. the mercury is afterward con-
densed and flows out in a fine stream,
like continuous pencil of molten sill
yer. Like gold and silver, mercury is
occasionally found In native or pure
state. Sometimes the miners pick
penetrates cavity that contains a
cupful or more Of the elusive and beau
tiful fluid. Miners suffer much from
the poisonous effects Of the quicksilver
fumes. Extreme cleanliness is the best
safeguard for workers in this danger

MOVING Picture Tricks.

Some of the most thrilling scenes In
the moving picture dramas are taken
with the aid of small models, which
are considerably less than life size.
1t is much cheaper, of course, to burn
up toy building or to sink a minia-
ture ship than to destroy an original
to make moving picture holiday. The
models used for this work are carried
out with great attention to detail. and
the pictures are taken with the cam
era very close to the ground to get
the proper perspective. The moving
picture audiences, even when paying
the closest attention, are completely
deceived.-Bosto Herald.

The Goruons.

The Gorgons were creatures Of Greek
mythology, mentioned by Homer and
Euripides as being Of peculiarly abhor-
rent aspect. Their hair was composed
Of serpents, their bodies covered with
scales and girdled with reptiles with
heads erect, vibrating their tongues
threateningly, while the hands Of the
Gorgons. adorned with sharp talons,
were OF brass. The gaze Of the mon
STEERS was deadly, all upon whom they
fixed their eyes being turned 10 stone.
One Of the three terrible sisters was
conquered and beheaded by Perseas,
and as he took flight in the air en- route
for Ethiopia, holding the severed head
in his hands, the drops Of blood which
fell from it became serpentA which
ever after infested the sands Of Lydia.

HENRY SHRAPNEl..
inventor Of the Deadly War Missile and
His Reward.


inventor Of the Deadly War Missile and
His Reward.
Shrapnel was originally the name OF
British general who, about hun
bred years ago, was begging the board
of ordnance of his native land for some
substantial recognition In respect Of
the new and deadly missile he had
placed absolutely at their service and
was being told that the institution In
question had no funds at its disposal
for the reward OF merit"
Henry Shrapnel's invention was
probably first employed at Surinam in
1904 and was then ''favorably report
ed on" but eleven years later Sir
George Wood, who commanded the ar
tillery at Waterloo, declared that
shrapnel had won that famous battle.
Without it, Wood asserted, no effort Of
the British could have recovered the
farmhouse Of La Haye Sainte.
In 1914 the government granted
Shrapnel pension Of 1920 year
for life, but this was interpreted by
his paymasters to cover all the inven-
lions Shrapnel had given to the army,
including an ingenious gun mounting
whereby the recoil was utilized to
bring one gun into action at the same
time as another was put under cover.
Shrapnel was thus placed at disad-
vantage, though he had the satisfac-
ton of drawing his pension to q ripe
old age. He died in 1912, aged eighty
one.-Argonaut.

plain the phenomenon"

Experiments TO snow Tne Acxion OF
Sea Water and Frost.
One of the largest construction COM
panies in this country is making ex-
periments to determine what is the ac-
ton of sea water and frost upon con-
crete. According to Science Conspec-
tus, the company made twenty-four
concrete columns, each sixteen feet
long and sixteen inches square, re-en-
forced with iron bars near their cor
ners, and In January, 1909, immersed
them in the water at the Boston navy
yard.
at high tide the water almost entire
" covers them, but at low tide they are
completely exposed Thus In cold
weather the columns are alternately
thawed and frozen as the tide rises
and falls. The columns are made with
various qualities Of concrete mixed
dry, plastic and very wet-and also
with different qualities of cement Elk
perts are studying the effects of the
addition of waterprooing materials.
Clay and other substances are added
from time to time. and the effect Is OBJ
served
Many years must elapse before it
will be possible to tell with certainty
what kind of concrete is most perma-
nent. When last examined many of
the columns were virtually unaffected,
but others were badly eroded. The
columns that contain the largest pro-
portion of cement, mixed wet, have so
far shown the least wear. OF two col
umns made with one part Of cement to
one of sand and two Of stone the one
mixed dry was badly eroded over its
entire length, whereas the other.
which was mixed very wet, was only
slightly pitted.
