buildings of the shops of the German

that small vessels were being built for

''The facility and exactness with which the coal tar colors can be em- ployed, the endless diversity of tints and shades readily secured by their aid, have led the modern generation Of dyers to disregard, in great meas use, those time-honored vegetable Gves, for centuries the only available source of color, which still give their charm and value to the choice pro- ducts of Oriental looms. The present 'dyestuff famine has brought them again into prominence. Not so easily applied as the aniline dyes, they still have their especial merits. AS a result the American works engaged in the preparation of extracts from the yellow oak of the Alleghanies, from the logwood of Jamaica, from the redwood of Brazil from the cutch of India, are producing in enormous amounts the substitutes of the more brilliant, but often more fugitive, hues of the coal-tar pro- | ducts.

FINE CATCHES ROB
 PLAYERS OF AUTO GIFTS
Peck and Burns Nearly Hit Overland Sign, But HartZell and Veach
 Interfere.

New York, Sept 16.-Fred snod- grass once made a $25,000 huff in Boston. Yesterday at the Polo Grounds Robbie Veach and Roy FIartell each made $1,60O catches. The clutches did not yield Veach or Hartzell that sum, but they took a $1,60O Overland car from Roger Peck inpaugh and the Detroit Georgie Burns.
 In the seventh inning Peck drove a fierce drive to deep left and it was headed for the automobile sign when Veach pulled it down. The first ath- lete who hits the Overland sign in left field is to get car.
 Opening the ninth Burns of the Ti- gers sent a savage whack spinning di- rectly toward the sign. Hartzell, mak- ing a fine running catch, clutched it about fifteen feet in front of the sign and about six feet above the ground.
 Peck's drive was much lower, and if it had hit it, it would have been just above the ground, but Burns whack would have hit it plump in the center of the ad. Georgie gave Hartzell about nine angry glances. As the Tanks hadn't a chance then, it was pretty tough, that $1,600 catch!

 Potash Supply.
 "Of the domestic potash supply it is stated that large amounts of the compounds of this element are pres on the waves of the Pacific, close to the western 1ittoral of the country, that each year the waters of the Pacific coast are producing a crop in which potash salts possessing a nor nal value of more than $90,000,000 are readily available for use in agri- culture and the arts. Now a dozen companies are engaged in the cam paign. Not only the inexhaustible supplies in the waters of the Pacific, but also the remarkable deposits in the arid waste about Searles Lake in California, and the valuable alunite of Utah are being rapidly transformed lHLO COIuIIl6ICldl BIduGS. A year or two hence we may be able to fertilize our broad acres with Ameri- can potash exclusively, while another year or two may see us free from de- rendence upon dyes of foreign make.
