Peculiar Eertilize, In Tasmania.

Tasmania is a great farming and
fruit country and there is a good local
market for all the spent oil shale
from the distilling retorts. The rock
from which the oil has been taken
sells at So per ton for agricultural
uses. The assays do not disclose any
rich fertilizing matter in the spent
shale. yet when it is pulverized and
distributed over farming lands and
garden soils it produces such wonder
full results as to make the demand for
it greater than the supply. 1t appears
to act on the soil mechanically by
aerating it, and possibly, by cOndensing
moisture from the atmosphere and
transferring it to the crops. 1t is ex.
pected that the prices o%btainable for
the spent shale will eventually cover
mining and retorting costs.-Dr. Ar.
thur Selwyn-Brown. in The Engineer
ing Magazine.

SCHOOLBOYS SET
NEW RECORDS
IN SWIM MEETS
Handy Hangs Up Marks in

Princeton Saturday
OTHER SCHOOL NEW S

shattered Saturday and more arc likely 10
fall this week when the Princeton inter-
scholastic meet is held at Princeton. In
the Yale interscholastics and IN the
Central High-Lawrenceville School dual
meet new marks we're hung up by the
scholastic stars.
At New Haven and at Lawrenceville
new records were made on the same
afternoon in the same event, and 1t Is a
coincidence that while Thomas Luke, OF
Lawrenceville, was making n new record
OF minutes 36 3-5 seconds, breaking the
former mark held by Leo Handy, this
Brookline High School youth was hanging
UP n new record OF minutes 80 40 Sec
onds in the Yale tank.
Handy not only broke the 22O-yard rec.
ord but negotiated the lO0-yard dash in
the record time of 81 l-j seconds. The
former mark for this event was 80 sec
Onds. ThGe old record for the 22O-yard
dash was 2.37 3.5, which he made i'll schol'
astic meets last season. The third new rec
orn for the day went to Teddy Cam,
who won leading honors in the recent
University of Pennsylvania swimming
championships.
Cam, who represents the Hamilton
School, won the 5O-yard swim in 25 10
seconds, bettering the previous record by
three-fifths of second. The plunge for
distance by r. Bird, OF the Brookline High
School. for as feet the longest distance
yet made in the Yale tank, was another
feat which showed the high-class calibre of
the scholastic swimmers this season. The
record last year was 81 feet inches, when
the event was won by l.. Geibel, of the
Stuyvesant High School, New York.

The Games Greatest

Sir-NIike Kelly or Ty Cobb the greatest
player that ever lived? Please let me
nominate Buck Ewing for this honor, for
Ewing was beyond them all. He was the
games greatest catcher; good first
baseman, fine outlieder, and in the
flag race of 80 that went to the end of
the stretch Buck even pitched and won
several games. Such eminent judges as
Charley Comiskey and Clarke Griffith,
who have seen them all, put Ewing first.
He was not only fine batsman and base
runner, but could play any place with as
much grace and skill as the regular on
the job. r. T. S, (Boston).
