"EIectric Umpire" for Training
Young Pitchers.
Device Saves catehers Muen "orH
and Teaches the Budding Alexander
How to Control the Ball
He Delivers.

What a leading western pitcher de-
scribes as a great device for players
who are working on new curves, ID
known as an automatic umpire. 1t Is
Of especial value for young pltchers
who are trying to break into profes'
sional company, as they always wear
out all the catchers on the CLUB. IL
teaches control, and never makes mis-
takes on hairline decisions.
The umpire is in reality an elec-
trically registering target, which rings
a bell when the ball strikes the space
over the plate and within the limits
between the knee and shoulder OF the
man at the bat. Though this held Is
not visible on the target, it Is accu-
rately defined, being panel feet
4 inches long by II inches wide. which
is pivoted and wired to register
strikes The whole eight-foot square
of planks is painted over with the ng'
ures in life size of catcher and TWO
batters. The idea of painting IN two
batters is to afford practice with ell
Their a right-hand or a left-hand man
at the bat. and canvas screen IS
drawn over the figure not in use, IN
order to avoid any possible chance for
confusion.
The pitcher who uses this device
stands at the regulation distance OF
65 feet and throws a regulation league
ball. AS the pitcher can tell where

Mems Hair Grows Green.

Employees in the plant of the New
York Air Brake company in this city
who are engaged in work upon the
companys munition contracts with the
allies are becoming afflicted with
green hair and mustaches. Acid in
which the Jackets of the shells are
dipped to clean them is attributed as
the cause of the phenomenon The
change has been slow in affecting sew
eral men, but it has proceeded surely,
and half dozen or more now have
brilliantly green hair and mustaches.
The green hue appears to be absolute
ly fast color, as several have attempt
ed by means of shampoos and scrub
bings to remove the color. but without
avail.-Watertown IN. " Dispatch

Shotouns in War.

That shotguns should be largely
utilized in modern warfare is the con.
tention of number of military ex.
perts. 1t is pointed out that such guns
would be particularly useful to sen.
tries at nighttime, as an intruder
might more easily be crippled and
captured by a spreading charge of
heavy shot than by a single bullet.
Moreover. person moving quickly
might often be missed by shot from
q rife, whereas a snapshot from a
shotgun In semidarkness could hardly
fail to find its object.
In the trenches shotguns could be
used with success. A shotgun loaded
with about 48 grains of powder and
one and one-half ounces of big shot,
with about rs pellets, would be of
much more value than the rife. as dur
ing night attack, either for attac!,
or defense in semidarkness, a single
charge would hardly fail to inflict seri-
GUS wounds on one or more of the
enemy.

Overcame the Drought.

Low water in the Columbia last
spring and the lack of rain for the
last six weeks has caused the disap-
pearance of the large lakes and
marshes on the west side. thus threat
ening the destruction of duck hunt
ing for the present season, says a
Kelso (Wash.) correspondent of the
Portland Oregonian.
Not to be denied this sport. E. E.
Brown and Grover L. Thornton are
pumping their hunting lake on the
A. G. Huntington place full of water
A six-inch centrifugal pump. capable
of pumping 1000 gallons of water a
minute, has been installed on the bank
Of the Columbia. and has been work
ing for the last week creating a lake
for hunting purposes. This is the first
time that such a novel scheme has
been employed here. and the work is
attracting much attention.

The device consists principally of
24-inch metal diaphragm attached to
a cylindrical case, within which is an
electromagnetic actuating a copper
sounder. The oscillators, when In per-
manent position, are placed inside OF
ships skin, beneath the water line,
on both the port and starboard sides.
Vibrations of the diaphragm amount
ing to movement of one thousandth
part of an inch and repeated with
great rapidity throw out sound waves
under the water. which may be caught
by the receiving apparatus on another
vessel.
Signals of this kind have been heard
at a distance Of 80 miles, while at
shorter, ranges numerous telegraphic
conversations have been carried on
successfully. In one instance the ex.
perimenters actually talked between

devout reading of the Bible. the name
Of Charles Smith would never have
been mentioned beyond his own mar.
row circle. 1t is probable that his
emotional religion was sometimes &C.
tually ridiculed by those who knew
him. Had Charles Smith been told
that he would bear an influential part
in making one Of the most famous OF
American preachers, that his name
would be mentioned with reverence in
one Of the greatest of American
churches, and be revived for praise
and commentator after forty years,
such a result would have seemed to
his simple mind quite incredible.
It is not unlikely. either. that some
humble, unpretending Christian was
cheered and encouraged by Mr.. Beech
er's recital of the incident that day.
and that new impulses were started
quite as important and far-reaching as
the original one. To mary readers of
these lines, too, the story will come
with fresh suggestfveness, and the
simple faith of a plain, unlettered man
may thus influence other lives that
Charles Smith never could have
dreamed Of touching. $.
