Two Foul Balls Shocked the Australian
Sense of Propriety.
A game of baseball that was sched-
uled as a feature of the police and fire
mems patriotic carnival ut the agricul-
tural show grounds came to an abrupt
and dramatic conclusion almost before
it was started. 1t was a match game.
America versus Australia.
In Americas second inning Il player
DETECTED a fast ball straight for the
densest portion of the crowd, and a
scream was heard. The ambulance
men rushed to the spot and found that
a woman had been struck on the head
by the ball, but was not seriously in
jured.
Without waiting to see if any dam
age had been done the players coolly
procured another ball and continued
the game Just as if nothing out of the
ordinary had happened. A few mo-
ments later this ball was also defect
ed to the upper story of the pavilion,
striking q man on the shoulder.
At this Mr.. Flowers, the minister for
health, who was present. rushed out on
to the ground and called out. stop this
silly camel"
The players promptly obeyed his or
ders, and play ceased.-Sydney (Aus-
tralia) Herald.

You a hardly contemplate the bonn
hardment of the Dardanelles without
conjuring up the myth and legend and
history that have clustered since time
began about this narrow waterway
that divides Europe from Asia. Al
ways it has been a strategic point. AL
ways it has been n place where deeds
of heroism and romance have had their
setting. Always it has been a place to
stir the Imagination. The Dardanelles,
where echoes the thunder of the guns
Of the allied fleets as they hammer at
the defenses of the outpost Of Islam,
have seen many ancient battles.
Never before, though, it may be safe
to say. have the D~ardanelles witness

IMITATION DIAMONDS.
They Lose Their Sparkle When They
Lose Their Sharp Edges.


Only the expert can tell an imitation
diamond from Il real stone when the
imitation is new, but after the fake
stone has been Worn for n little time
it soon loses its luStre. 1t is this which
makes Il real diamond valuable. No
matter how long it is worn it will keep
It's sparkle almost as we'll as ever.
The real reason for this is the hard
ness of the diamond. 1t is not due to
any special quality in the stone itself,
cXcvlt is Transparency nn,i its hard
ness.
The Sr#.i;tc OF '.HmuNl depends on
the sharpness Of the edges and the
points of its facets. When the light
falls on one of these it is reflected to
another facet. lying at Il different angle
and is rcfractcd again, and 50 on,
many times. Each time the light is
reflected it gives q; point of bril!iance,
and, in most instances, splits up the
light so that the red and blue Il V are
seen.
The imitation stone. to begin with,
seldom has as many facets as a dia-
monG. But. even if it had. the sharp
ness of these edges would wear off
Even exposure to the air will wcaI
away any substance that is not OK
tremcly hard. And just as soon as
there is any dulling of the edges of q
facet, SO soon there is a dim1ning of the
brilliance of the stonc.-New York

WIRE ENTANGLEMENIS ON SHORE OF The

Alfalfa an Excellent Green Feed For

Alfalfa an Excellent Green Feed For
Developing Young Horses.
There probably is no better pasture
than alfalfa for developing young
horses. Horses do not bloat rs do cat
tie. says the Kansas Farmer. They
have small stomachs and consequently
cannot consume such large quantities
of alfalfa in grazing as can cattle. On
many of the farms in Kansas where
considerable attention is given to the
growing of draft horses alfalfa pasture
is used almost the year around. 1t
seems to supply the bone and muscle
making material absolutely essential
in properly developing the draft horse.
Horses at hard work cannot be so
satisfactorily grazed on alfalfa, as it
is too laxative. The hard working horse
must of necessity have a considerable
portion of his feed in a more concen-
trated form. On many farms. how
ever, ever the work horses are permit
ted to run on alfalfa at night. This
practice effects some saving in the
grain ration. but the best results will
not follow if the alfalfa is made TO
| substitute for any considerable portion
of the grain ordinarily fed to horses
performing hard work.
The alfalfa farm is especially fitted
for properly developing draft colts. 1t
is about the only kind of pasture that
supplies IN abundance of feed during
the hot part of the summer. Colts
that have the run of alfalfa will con
tinue TO grow and develop all summer
long. Colts run on prairie pasture
very frequently suffer for feed during
the hot portion of the summer.
