In an ancient Samaritan synagogue
1t Shechem double roll Of parchment
Is guarded jealousy and is zealously
preserved, says the Christian Herald.
It was to Shechem that Abraham came
In his first visit to Canaan. Near She
chem Jacob sank his famous well. and
the returning Israelites heard here for
the last time the voice Of Joshua.
Shechem was the first residence Of tho
kings of Israel and was a city Of
refuge. Here at Jacobs well Jesus
met the woman of Samaria. Here the
great Justin Martyr was born. After
the division Of Israel into two king
doms Shechem became the religious
center Of the northern kingdom, and
Jeroboam's self appointed faith degen-
Grated into the Samaritan worship Of
our Lords day, which is perpetuated In
the old synagogue which holds this
scroll. This double roll of parchment
possibly the oldest In the world. con-
tains the first five books Of the Old
Testament and may be as old as the
days of jeremiah.

GARDINER ADDS
TO PERCENTAGE
FROM WINTHROP

Winthrop, Me-, Aug. 20.-(SpeciaD.
The big crowd Of fans who turned out
Saturday to see big baseball battle
between tho two leading teams Of the
Trolley League were in no way dissap-
pointed for the game developed into
one Of the most thrilling diamond con-
tests of the season.
It took 10 innings for the fast Gardi-
ner club to down the league leaders by
a score Of to 80 innings of as fast
baseball as any fan could wish to see
AS was anticipated. it was a pitchers
battle. Mayberry, Winthrop's latest ad-
dition to the pitching staff. worked his
first game for Winthrop and earned
the applause Of the crowd by his ex-
cellent work in the box. He was oppos-
ed by Pearson, the star Of the Gardi-
ner twirling staff, and the honors were
pretty evenly divided between them,
for although Mayberry was hit a bit
more freely than his rival. he kept his
hits well scattered and was at his best
with men on bases. and only two Of
GARDENERS runs were earned, while the
Winthrop boys earned all three Of
theirs.
Pearson in former games with Gardi-
ner, had been the terror of the Win
throp lads, but in Saturdays game the
locals touched him for eight hits, two
Of them for extra bases, and proved
that the great Alex cannot always hold
them scoreless.
Pearson showed q wholesome fear Of
Wilson and presented the mighty slug
ger with q walk on two occasions when
a hit would have meant ono or moro
scores.
Harry Lord was tho leading sticker
Of the game, having four hits to his
credit, while Luyster was q close Sec
ond with three safeties. Gardiner
seemed to get tho breaks Of the game.
The Winthrop team appeared nervous
in the opening innings and Gardiner
came through with lucky run. Lord

What Becomes Of leadf

Lead was unquest1onably known to
the Egyptians; the Romans apparently
understood it's desilverization, yet We
still haven't enough Of it. The worlds
accumulated stocks Of 5000 years seem
powerless to help us, DR.. D. M. Lid
dell writes in the Engineering Maya
zine. How can they when every hunt
er fires away portion Of the worlds
stock, when almost every coffin carries
lead lining, while lead pipes or lead
joints in iron pipe corrode in the
ground and when every plumbers ap-
prentice throws away lead dross and
tea is packed in lead foil? In the
meanwhile the increasing use Of lead
In storage batteries adds another posi-
bllity Of loss. The sludge from these
batteries will usually be thrown away
when the cells are cleaned. And so
the new discoveries Of science help to
add new methods of waste.

Winthrop Trolley Notes

With the Trolley League season draw
ing to a close the race is Tightening up.
Winthrop still holds the lead by a three
game margin, but the Gardiner club
shows an alarming determination to close
up with the leaders. Winthrop has only
two more games scheduled with Gardi-
ner and one postponed game. Two Of
these will be played on Winthrop grounds
and the last one at Gardiner. Winthrop
has Augusta for an attraction Wednesday
and a big crowd is always assured when
these teams meet.
The members of the team bettered their
batting averages this week. Wilson being
the biggest gamer, having again passed
the 400 mark. His average to date is Al.
Pagan is second with $50, and Gill, Brad
ford and Fuller are also among the lead
ers. Bradford added another home run
to his long list Of extra base hits.
Ray Penfold has been released to make
a place for Mayberry. Penfold had pitch
ed four league games and won them all.
Gill has won six games and lost three,
and fagan has won six games and lost
four. Williams is credited with one win,
having replaced Gill against Hallowell
and the winning runs being scored before
he gave way to Pagan. Gill has retired
under fire three times, Penfold twice and
Pagan once.

Handwriting on Iron.

1t was an accident that led to the
discovery of the method Of transfer
ring handwriting to iron. An iron
founder while experimenting with
molten iron under different conditions
accidentally dropped a ticket into a
mold. He presently found that the
type Of the ticket was transferred to
the iron in distinct characters. Fol
lowing up the idea which this fact
suggested, lie procured a heat proof
ink, with which he wrote invertedly
on ordinary white paper. This paper
was introduced into the mold before
the molten iron was poured In. When
the mold cooled the paper had been
consumed by the heat, but the ink,
which had remained intact, had left a
clear impression on the iron.

Husband CHOOSING by Candleljaht.

In "a Modern Columbus" R. G..
Knowles tells Of the many quaint peo-
pie and customs he has observed. One
of the latter is the manner in which
the ladies of Rangoon choose their hus-
bands.
when single girl puts a lighted
candle in her window it Is a notice to
the manageable men Of that town
that she is in the market. AS soon as
one puts in an appearance two can
dies are put in to warn the others
that there is one sutton on the ground
and to give him a chance. If, after a
time, three candles appear it is a pub
lie notice that she has found the man
of her choice. But If he does not come
up to her ideas of what a husband
should be. then out go all the lights.
and after a day or two up comes the
single light again. And SO 1t goes on
till the lady finds her mate"

should be stated that errors bv his
teammates were responsible for sew
