Now that the basketball season is
just about over. it may not be 1mper-
tirent to ask why the game is not
more popular sport than it is. Why
has the season not produced a Brick
ley. a Mahan, DeS Jardien or Hal
ligan Ty Cobb a Hans Wagner
or q Walter Johnson? Why has the
season not been q financial success in
many of the leading schools and col
legcs of the country?
Basketball is one of the cleanest
sports on the calendar. 1t REQUIRES
more all-around ability to be a basket
ball star than to be a headliner in
almost any other sport. To play the
game with any degree of perfection
man has to have a great deal of en-
durance and wind, exceptional speed,
q quick brain, an accurate eye. quick
judgment and a good arm. Between
teams that are anything like evenly
matched, there are probably moro
thrills to the minute than in anything
short of q battle royal in a squared
circle or home run in the ninth in
ming with two men down and the
score tied.
Yet in spite of all these things. the
general public does not take to basket
ball and people rarely go to see a
game unless they have a personal in
terest in a team or in one of the play
ers. In many schools and colleges
including Washburn, and especially in
the larger institutions basketball is
is Il financial burden And the ques-
ton is. why? Why is there not at this
time big countrywide argument
over VINO is the best basketball player
in the United States. or over what
teams are entitled to the eastern and
Lwestern cham pionship? 1t is an even
: Jet that the other reader of this COL
umn can't tell who has made the best
record in the Missouri valley this
season, or what player is considered
the star of the east.

POLICE JOTTINCS
Bath viii Be Installed in In
terror of Topeka Jail.
Long Term Prisoners Will Be
Permitted to Battle.

At last the bOarderS at the munich
pal menag erie will be able to battle
Mayor Cofran has stated that a bath
will be installed in the city Jail for the
prisoners. The statement leaked out
among the gentlemen prisoners this
morning and caused great rejoicing.
Men who had been in Jail for six or
more months are looking anxiously to
the day when they can enjoy a regu-
lar bath again.
AT the present time, bathing is
luxury that the residents of the ''brlI
PEN rarely indulge in for lack of
proper facilities. They can souse
themselves in a wash tub, or more
generally, they use a hose to cleanse
themselves. But a shower, or a bath
tub, has been always viewed with
alarm by the city fathers. No official
announcement of this blessing has
been made, but it is reported to have
some foundation by the gossip in po-
lice circles: Saturday night will be
bath night.

Jack johnson now says that the
reason he didn't try to go on to Mex
leo was not because he was afraid he
couldn't get there, but because he
was afraid he couldn't get away with
his $4,000 after the fight. Johnson
has been accused more than once of
not having all the gray matter in his
Uranium that a champion ought to
have, but his foresight in this instance
seems 20 refute the charges. Mexico
is no place for fugitive from justice
with 100000 on his person-especially
when every Greaser in the country
knows il, and knows there is no
chance for said fugitive to call on the
stars and stripes for protection.

st. Louis papers announce that it is
rumored that Homo Run Baker, who
recently retired from baseball, will
sign up with the Browns. An eastern
paper announces that Baker quit the
game because Mrs. Baker set her foot
down on him playing any more. Con-
ME Mack is alleged to have stated that
Mrs Baker wants her husband to re-
tire to the farm with her. You can
pay your money and take your choice,
and then you can bet that Baker will
be back in a uniform if the Browns or
Mack or anybody else offers him as
much money as he wants.

FIFTY-TWO VARIETIES.
c. F.. Busch Lacks Five Vegetables of
Equalling the Famous "57."

The farm of Mr.. G. F. Busch just
missed by five the growing of fifty
seven varieties of vegetables this
year. Had it not been for some un-
toward events the fifty-seven varie-
ties class would have been reached
by this progressive farmer of Char
lesion county, and there is every rea-
son to believe that he will take the
fame away from Mr.. Heinz next year.
Anyway the fifty-two varieties of veg
etables, which were grown on Mr..
Busch's farm this year in Charleston
were exhibited on the State fair
grounds as part of the demonstra-
tion exhibit gotten together by Mr..
w. Mel. Frampton, the demonstra-
ton agent for Charleston county.
And this exhibit is attracting lots of
! attention.
The fifty-two varieties o. veseta-
bles from this one Charleston farm
were arranged on two long benches
and were admirably displayed. From
this farm were exhibited: Three vari-
cites of cabbage, of lettuce, of
Irish potatoes, of sweet potatoes, 1
of Chinese squash, 3 of peppers, OF
parsley, of thyme, Of leaks, 2 OF
cahlrahi, 2 of Browncohli, 1 of okra,
of beans, 1 of egg plant, 7 OF rad
ish, 3 of kale, 2 of collards, 1 of
Brussel sprouts, l of beets, l of car
rots, l of cukes, 2 of lima beans, of
white turnip, of pumpkins, of
watermelon, of ground artichokes,
and 1 of Dashne.
Mr.. Frampton had a nicely arrang-
ed exhibit from Charleston county in
well-arranged booth, showing the
marvellous resources of that county,
specializing on truck growing, for
which Charleston is so favored and
famous. In addition to the varieties
of vegetables detailed above, all of
which were in the exhibit, other pro-
ducts shown are: In the fruit line;
lemons, oranges, figs, persimmons,
pumegranates, peaches, huckleber-
ries; in the vegetable line in addition
to the So varieties detailed, aspara-
gus, tomatoes, corn, two varieties OF
rice, five varieties of peas; in the
grasses and hay line, German millet,
rice straw, Sudan grass, crab grass.
There were many other products in
the Charleston exhibit, which are
powerful advertisements of the many
resources of that rich county and
especially from the trucking stand
point. The people of the State were
attracted to the large place in the
picture of progress, shown by the
State fair, which Charleston occupied
and many expressions of astonish-
ment and delight were heard. Many,
compliments were passed on the
/ City by the Sea and her fine county,
and the exhibits from Charleston in
variably attracted first attention from
the people as soon as they walked in
to the big steel building.

Did He Put His Foot In?

An English soldier, a member of
the second South Staffordshire regi-
ment, says that one bitterly cold
night in the early spring, he and his
mates came out of the trenches. They
were billated in a barn, where they
were packed in very close.
Though numb with cold, we
were soon asleep said the soldier in
telling the incident. Il was awak-
ened in the night by one of our
chaps trying to put his boots on.
After he had been trying for minute
or two, I heard the fellow next him
say:
&c What the ARE you doing?'
Putting my boots on, was the
reply.

LUMINOSITY IN NATURE.
Many Insects and Forms of Vegeta-
ton Have Light-Giving Power.


The lightning bugs mystery of
light without heat is now alleged to
be solved. A member of that ear
nest-headed colony of scientists at
Woods Hole, Mass, has recently de-
clared that the bug does it's interior
and exterior Illumination by eating
certain substances which supply it
with phosphorus.
1t is to be hoped that this is true
so we may quit worrying about why
the lightning bug is lit up.
Although the lightning bug is our
Z most popular and common pyrotech-
mic insect there are many other in
sects and many forms of vegetable
life which share in light-giving pow
er of high and low degree. Under
certain conditions nasturtiums, dahl
las, tuberoses and yellow lilies may
be seen to glow with bright ra-
dance, varying in color and intens-
ity. Only those flowers that have
an abundance of yellow or orange
!. shades exhibit this phosphoresence.
The best time to see the light is af-
ter dark, when the atmosphere is
clear and dry. The light is some
times steady, but often intermittent
and flashing.
Often, in the early fall, the ground
will be Illuminated by. the glow from
the dead leaves. The Australian pop
py is the most remarkable of all the
luminous plants, for it has been
found to send out light of it's own
of quite notable brilliancy.
Mushrooms growing on decayed
wood often have degree of bril-
liancy that, when they are placed on
q newspaper, will enable one to read
!, the words in their vicinity with no
other light. One species of mush-
room in Australia, 16 inches in dia-
( meter, was of such brilliancy that,
when seen from a distance, it's light
frightened the natives.
Crabs are notable light givers, and
s the salpa of California is the most
wonderful of all. Bodies of water
20 miles square have been seen glow
ing with them, and in Santa Catalina
channel, one naturalist reported that
as far as the eye could see the crea-
lures lay cleaning like gems in the
sunlight. Many luminous frogs have
been discovered from time to time,
and any frog may be made luminous
by inoculating it with certain bae-
terra which produce this phenome-
non
Many theories have been brought
forward TO explain the phenomenon
of luminosity, but as yet little Is
known about 1t Chicago Tribune.
