For 16 years the grand American han ribbon event of the trapshooting world progressed with little or no attention being paid to the Fair Dianas of the traps.
 The seventeenth annual tournament will take place in St. Louis during the week of August 21 and for the first time the trapshooters of the fair sex will have their place in the sun. The fair ones will be given special trophies to shoot for in the grand American handi- cap, and each afternoon at 4 o'clock there will be a special 50-target event for the trapshooters of the gentler sex.
 The trapshooting organizations of the United States and Canada are making special appeals to the women and girls of this age to become interested in trap shooting as a healthful exercise without any strenuous endeavor, and that the women are becoming interested is proven by the number of pupils Annie Oakley hurst, N, C., and Portsmouth N. H., where she is conducting a summer school. Miss Oakley instructed nearly 1000 women at Pinehurst and has in- st1ucted several hundred at Portsmouth. Then more than 1000 shot for the first time in the beginners day shoots last year and more than that number this year.
 It was only a decade or so ago that there was but a handful of women who were known as experts with the shotgun.

BARONS DEPART FOR
 LOOKOUT SERIES |Moleys Will Play Three Double Bills With Fiber field Clan

Carlton Molesworth and his band of struggling Barons departed from Bir- mingham at 62O o'clock last night for Cha ttanooga, where they will open a six-game series today. The Barons bid Birmingham farewell until August 30, when they return to Redwood to meet the New Orleans Pelicans in two double bills.
 The team left Birmingham in good shape and ready for the long trip which will carry them to almost every town in the league to perform for their last time for the present campaign.
 Dick Robertson and Red Smith. the two lone occupants of the injured list of the Barons for the past two weeks, are back in condition and will be ready for work in the Lookout series. Dick will probably get his first trial in the box since returning from Bonsetter Reese in one of the double bills With the Lookouts, probably one of the games today.
 Red Smith may not be ready for work for a day or two but will be back in harness doing all of the receiving with in the next three days; Reds ln1urea digit is almost completely recovered and the former Vol is anxious to get back into the game.
 Moley was undecided before his de- parture who he would work today, but it is probable that Perryman and Black will work unless Dick Robertson IS given a chance. It is rumored among the Baron ranks that Karl Black will pitch both games on one of the days, while Jimmy Eschen may also be given turn in the box. Following the series at Chattanooga, the Barons move over to Memphis.

Charting the Deep

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 Last summer a submerged rock was found at the entrance to Boston harpor' close to which one or more of our SlO,- GOO. GOO superdreadnaughts had repeatedly passed under the supposition that the water was 45 feet deep, whereas it was a rocky pinnacle was discovered in Alaska waters, higher than the Wash ington monument, lying directly in the steamship lane. Only 17 feet of water covered it. These are striking examples of the valuable service rendered the worlds shipping interests by tho United states coast and geodetic survey.
 No one branch of the government plays more important part in the welfare or the country than the coast survey. It is not only the oldest scientific bureau in the government, but the oldest bureau of continuous service. Although its chief work is defined as the making of navl- gational charts of the United States ana outlying territory, the coast survey gives the man who follows the sea com- plete knowledge of the coast, it's nature and form, the character of the adjacent sea bottom, the positions of reefs, shoals and other dangers to navigation, the rise and fall of the tides, the direction and strength of the currents and the character and amount of magnetic disturbance.
 The chief operation in a Photographic survey is sounding. A hand line or a sounding machine is used. depending on the depth of the waters, but the com paratively recent wire-drags introduced by French Photographers and since de- veloped and improved by the coast sur vey, has revolutionized Photographic surveying. The wire-drag was first used on the Atlantic coast in 1906. and from that time to the present 1860 square miles have been dragged ana above 5000 shoals examined.

 Sea Gulls down at the critical periods in the first game, although he was hit consistently. In the second game, Town send pitched good ball in the early in- nings, but lost control in the sixth, and was relieved, by Smith who aided by fast fielding, kept the Gulls from in- cleasing their score. Allison and Led better, the Mobile pitchers, yielded hits in the pinches, but otherwise were steady The largest crowd of the sea- son, with the exception of opening day, attended the games. Score:

Hence the end of the week finds New Orleans apparently back in early season form, crowding Nashville for first place, with the Volunteers show ig every sign of the slump which had been freely predicted for them.
 With the exception of the play of Nashville and New Orleans and the con tinuation of the winning streak of Lit tie Rock few performances of the week were noteworthy as affecting the pen nant struggle. Little Rock took five out of seven games and persisted in showing signs of improvement. The Travellers also acquired Pitcher Brooks from the Augusta club of the South Atlantic league-a move calculated to greatly strengthen their hurling staff.
 Atlanta lost it's hold on third place by dropping double header to Little Rock Saturday, while Chattanooga was winning a brace of games from Mobile, the two teams going into a tie for the coveted position. However, Atlanta took Sundays game from Nashville, while Chattanooga had an off day, so the Crackers end the week with slight margin on third place. Atlanta broke even in eight games while Chattanooga won three out of five.
 The Birmingham club went through the stretch with three victories and an equal number of defeats, giving little evidence that Manager Molesworth's team is to really reckoned with dur ing the remainder of the season. Mem phis suffered reverses after several weeks of good playing, dropping four out of six games. The Mobile club sank deeper into last place with seven defeats out O feight games played.

Now it would take page to tell of the feats of the women who are proficient in handling the trapgun. Miss Oakley every one knows. Mrs. Addison Topper vein of San Antonio, Tex, is the Miss Oakley of this day. She averaged 96 per cent of her targets last year, and she shot at more than 5000. She will shoot at the G. A. H. In the Tennessee state tournament she was the only shooter to break 100 straight.
 Mrs. Topperwein is possibly the best known of the present day women shoot CTS. but she is not the only one that is expert. Mrs. Louise Vogel of Detroit, Mich, is an original member of the Westy Hogans. and the past four years

Mystery of the Niger

From "Mystery of the Niger River," by
 Cyrus c. Adams, in the American Re-
 view of Reviews.
 One hundred years ago this July Capt. I. K. Tuckey and 20 of his crew died or fever among the rapids of the lower Congo, about 130 miles above the mouth of the river. Half of the party were dead a few weeks after their little vessel, Congo. steamed into the river. Such tragedy could not occur in Africa today. Tuckey did not know, as we do, that the yirulent type of malaria, which rulneo his enterprise, is caused by the sung or a certain mosquito; and that the disease cannot occur if this pest is kept rom breeding or the human body Is protecteo against it.
 1t is one of the recent triumphs Of science that many problems of tropical hygiene are already solved. Nearly SoVo whites are now living in the Congo pasih' and the death rate among them, TOT soine years. has been only about 20 per tnou- sand a year. Tuckey wrote, before the calamity came, that the climate was not but seemed to him salubrlous.
 We need only mention what Captain Tuckey was trying to do to demonstrate how dense. a century ago was our lg- norance of African geography. Nopooy had found where the Niger river reacheo the sea. and as the mystery grew the theory became popular, that the Congo ar Zaire river, was the lower part of the Niger The most impressive 1ac' known about the Congo was that tne majestic flood it poured into the Atian,i. | freshened the sea several miles from the | shore; it certainly was great riVer. Du | Mungo park had proven that the Niger also was a great river when he floatee
 down it's upper and middle course ane | as no one had been able to find where
 the Niger reached the sen. it is not very strange that geographers, a century ago
 hitched it up with the Congo

Three straight victories over Nash vile, followed by yesterdays re- suits, has put the Pels back in the pennant race. The flag is far from clinched by the leaders, but a glance at the figures show the Volunteers a neat margin in front of the locals.
 For the Pels to capture the championship emblem, they will have to win 20 out of the remain ing 32 games, while Nashville an- nexes and loses the same num- Der. In the event the Vols crack, and there are Pel fans who are certain the Ellam club in one the down-grade, the finish will be:
