As you leave Toulouse for the Medi-

ward the divide, passes through fine
corn, wheat and alfalfa farming coun-
try. It is broad, fertile plain shut
in on both sides by low hills like the
Platte valley in Nebraska. A rare
thing in France. where villages
abound, 1t is a country of scattered
farms, even the churches with their
octagonal brick towers in the Tou-
louise style having only one or two
houses about them. F1ocks of geese
are in every barnyard, for goose is
White oxen do all the work in the
fields, but are too "molasse," the boat
men say, to draw the canal boats. A
New Englander would say they are as
slow as cold molasses. The canal
banks are lined with elm and plane
trees, and the views between give a
series Of moving farm pictures that
stand out with a Colorado-like clear
ness, for this country is what Henri
Martin, the Paris mural painter, calls
the land of limpid light
It takes from one to two days to

Here one has. the best chance to see
how admirably Riquet planned his
work, for 1t was there he solved the
chief difficulty OF the canal. the prob
lem of water supply. Up to the north
and east, for twenty-five miles at least,
extends the Black mountain, the most
southerly ramiflcation of the Ce-
venues. On the Toulouse side is the
River Sor, and on the Mediterranean
we're many small mountain streams
running into tributaries of the Aude.
the chief river on that side Riquet,
who lived at Revel, not far from Nau-
rouse. had given twenty-five years OF
study to the problem before he proved
to the kings commissioners that he
could tap the Sor on one side and
bring the Alzau, the Lampy, and
three other mountain streams into a
reservoir above Naurouse.

Frank. R. Arnold in the Los Angeles

When you come out Of the railway

the canal before you can get into the

named for Riquet and Bonrepos; for

died six months before it was finished,

And little way up the canal is a

the canal in nutshell. One side tells
how the two seas are joined at the d.

comes down there from the mountains
to make the commercial high

that the edict for construction went
forth from Louis XIV on October 8,
1866, and that navigation began on
May Is, 1851, and that the grateful
city Of Toulouse dedicated this monu-

SOME FREAK HURLERS
Few Players Who Can Use Either
Hand in Pitching.
Keenan, Of Youngstown Could Work
Equally Well With Either Arm
Corcoran Tried to "come
Back" With Left Hand.

Followers of baseball have often
heard of the fellow who could pitch
. fast ball with either hand and make
1t curve also, but few have seen one
OF these pitching freaks.
Baseball history tells of q chap
named Owen Keenan,. who pitched for
Youngstown, O., in 1885. Keenan,
could pitch equally well with either
arm. On the Fourth of July of that
season this wonder pitched two games
Of ball against New Castle and beat
his left arm in the first game and
used his right wing in the second con-
test, with the odds in favor of the
right whip.
The famous Larry Corcoran Of the
Chicago team, in the early SOS was
one Of the great hurlers Of the Pc
riod. Larry lost the use of his won
derful right arm during the season
of 1885. This almost broke his heart,
for Larry was not old in years. 1t
dawned upon him that he might make
. left-handed pitcher, for he was al
ways clever at throwing with his left.
and used to practice frequently. In
the season of 1885 Corcoran signed
with Southern league team as left
handed pitcher and reported for
practice as such. He worked hard to
gain control, for he developed rare
speed. Larry pitched few exhibit
ton games. and in one Of them he
kinked his remaining wing 20 bad
ly that he was released, sc he had
to quit the game, for he had run out
Of pitching arms.
So the ambidextrous hurler Is moro
or less of a myth. The pitching game
10 too strenuous for any kind Of an
arm but the good natural wing.
