far better than that accorded the right

1t was an error by Billy Head which
gave the Seventh the first run IN the

DODGERS. Phillies and Braves
maintain their old positions in
the National league pennant race.
Cincinnati plays at Brooklyn TODAY;
the Cardinals at Boston and the Cubs
at Philadelphia. The Phillies appear
to have the toughest proposition but
the Philadelphia pitchers have been
going so strong lately that a victory
over the Cubs looks probable. The
Reds are always uncertain while the
Cardinals have been rather weak
against good pitching in their rec.nt
games.
DON'T overlook a certain sturdy
young finger named KoresseI
when you are doping out the Com
mercial league pitching stars. This
Koressei IS a real iron nan" and he
Is twirling some mighty nice ball.
He isn't a snowy pitcher but he GER
tainly is effective and his good work
has made the Krackajacks a team
to be reckoned with in the CONNER
cial league while he has pitched five
winning games for the hospital corps
IN the Army league.
x
GIANTS have now won II straight
in the National league. They
are 81 points behind the Dodgers,
who are on top today, but you
simply can't make Giant fms be-
heve that McGraw's men have no
cha &c to grab the flag. Had the
Giants made their bid for the leader
ship two weeks earlier, there might
nave been a chance.

Why They Walk In Circles.

eff you were lost in desert or in a
forest and tried to find your way out"
says a well known scientist, you
would be almost sure to walk in a
circle" This well known fact is due
to a slight inequality in the length Of
the legs. Careful measurements Of a
series Of skeletons have shown that
only 10 per cent had the lower limbs
equal In length, 80 per cent had the
right limb longer than the left, while
in IS per cent the left limb was the
longer
The result Of one limb being longer
than the other will naturally be that a
person will unconsciously take longer
step with the longer limb, and conse
quently will trend to the right or left
according as the left or right leg is the
longer. The left leg being more fire.
quently the longer, the inclination
should take place more frequently to
the right than to the left, and this con-
clusion is quite borne out by observa-
lions made on a number of persons
when walking blindfolded. The in
equality in the length Of limb is not
confined to any sex or race, but seems
to be universal in all respects

Tho Silver Fog.

The silver fox is really a black fox,
instead, as some persons suppose, of be-
ing almost white or silver gray. The
name is given on account Of the pres
ence of glistening white and graylsh
hairs which appear among the black
In the better grades the long, silky
brush has a tip Of pure white. About
a quarter Of century ago the little
animal, which weighs when full grown
only about twelve pounds, became al
most extinct Because of the beauty
Of its fur the species was trapped I'M
til almost the last Of them had disap.
peared. For long time the standard
price offered by the Hudson Bay com
pany for silver fox pelts was around
$1,000, and the efforts of the French
Canadians, half breeds and Indian
trappers to obtain this sum, to them a
fortune, can be better imagined than
described.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Amarica,A Annallinn Fire Loss.


Every man, woman and child in the
United States pays So year for fire
waste. If on certain day of the year
\ government official should go to the
average family Of five persons and pre-
sent a bill for $15 as the annual fire
tax of the family, there would be q
universal protest against the tax and
against the carelessness which makes
possible yearly fire waste of $780,
100000 in this country. Big manufac-
turers and big merchants know that
the fire expense to which they are sub
jected is drain on all the people, but
because 1t is indirect the average per-
son Is not conscious he is paying tax.
Let the masses once realize that every
time they buy hat a pair Of shoes
or suit OF clothes or anything which
goes through the regular channels of
industry, production, distribution and
exchange, they are paying a part of
the country's enormous fire tax, and
fire prevention would become the order
Of the day.-Leslie's.
