Howard Berry.

tracted considerable attention. It is known that several of the big eastern colleges made strong attempts to land him.
 When Mike Doolan of the Phillies jumped to the Federal league in the winter of 1918, and the Phillies were sorely pressed for good shortstop last season, the club attempted to sign up Berry and went so far in it's bid as to promise him regular berth from the start. However, Berry's parents had planned a college career for him and refused to allow him to play base ball professionally.
 May outshine Dorizas.
 Berry worked out with the Phillies preceding one and made big hit with Charlie Dooin, then manager of the team. Frequently he practiced field ing with the team before the start of the games and during the intermission on double-header days, his work never failing to draw comment from the fans
 He is f1ashy in the field and can hit any kind of pitching with fair success. During the summer months he plays with the strong amateur and travelling scholastic teams around Philadelphia
 Berry is certain of the quarterback position on the Penn football team in 1916. He packs considerable weight and is speedy in covering ground. It is probable that he may outshine big Mike Dorizas as Penn's all-around ath- letic star next year.

RABBIT SETS PACE
 FOR BALL PLAYER

The middle West has added another interesting item to the baseball chronicles of the year with a story of a rabbit which acted as pacemaker for a bat ter who had driven out a home run. The incident occurred at St. Cloud, Minn., when Thielman of the home team lifted a long hit to center field, which started a rabbit hidden in the long grass.
 The four-legged spectator of the game, frightened by the ball, ran toward the infield, reaching second base just ahead of Thiel- man. Touching the bag, the rabbit headed for third, and in order to avoid the bleachers turned at that bag and crossing the home plate disappeared un- der the grand stand. Thielman was right at the rabbits heels in the race for the plate and was credited with a circuit lit, but the scorer refused ,v give the rabbit home run, claiming that it had not touched first base.

A PALACE OF SALT.
splendors Of the Underground White
City Of Galicia,

oP'enoors OF the Underground White
City Of GaIicia.
In Galicia, seven miles from the
ancient city of Cracow, is located
the famous salt mine Of Wieliczka.
The mine has been actively work.
ed ever since its discovery, almost
700 years ago. At the present time
the excavations reach a depth of
more than 1000 feet.
The descent into the mine is
made by shafts and %staircases. The
latter, being carved entirely Of rock
salt, sparkle so brilliantly that one
feels at each step as though he we're
treading upon crystal glass. Before
reaching the bottom Of this great
cavern it is necessary to travel over
many Of these beautiful stairways,
for the mine Of Wieliczka is divided
into three distinct compartments
called fields, each field consisting Of
seven stories and each story made
up of several chambers.
Some Of these chambers are 100
feet high, 100 feet long and eighty
feet wide. They are left in the
process Of excavation, and when any
addition is required it is built with
salt and water. Masses Of salt are
piled n upon another and water
is thrown over them, dissolying a
portion Of the salt, which fills up
the crevices. When the water eyap-
crates it leaves a solid mass. Col
umns Of salt are left to support the
roof.
As there are no springs at 50
great depth, the air is very dry, and
everything is kept in the most per-
feet state Of preservation.
One Of the largest chambers is
used as a ballroom, where gavlv
dressed mon and women glide over
the smooth, shining floor to the
strains Of Strauss beautiful "Blue
Danube" waltz.
In another chamber the mobiles of
Austria and their friends sometimes
attend banquets. On these occa-
c%asion, when the light falls upon
the walls, ceiling and pillars, the
immense room looks like a palace
carved out of a%quamarine.
But the most wonderful thing in
the great salt mine of Wieliczka is
the chapel Of st, Anthony, where
the floor, walls, ceiling, altar, inches,
pedestals and statues are all Of solid
salt, yet everything is so translucent
that a torch held behind n Of the
statues shows light through it's
thickest part. When the chapel is
lighted everything in it sparkles as
though studded with countless dia-
monds.-L. G. Randall in Harper's
Weekly.

OCEAN LEVELS:
Reasons Why tho Sea Is Higher In
Some Places Than In Others.

Reasons Why tho Sea Is Higher In
Some Places Than In Others.
The level Of the Pacific as a whole
is not higher than that Of the At
lantic, but there arc parts Of each
ocean which are higher, measured
from the earth's center, than other
parts of either the same ocean or
other oceans. But very little is ae-
%turately known about these differ
ences Of sea level. Some of them
ire temporary or variable, and these
are due to tides, winds and ocean
currents heaping up the water in
certain localities or at certain times.
Other differences Of level are per-
mancnt, being caused by the attrac-
ton Of unusually dense portions Of
the earth's crust or by massive
mountains lying close to the sea
border. For instance, the geologi-
cal survey Of India disclosed the
fact that the sea level at the mouth
Of the Indus river is 800 feet higher
or farther from the carth's center
Of gravity than it is around the is
land Of Covlon, and this difference
is ascribed to the attraction of the
mighty mass of rock that cu]mi-
Rates IN tho %1Iimalava mountains.
This draws the sea surface into a
rising slope. But it does not affect
nayi CATION. Ships do not seem to
be going up bill when they sail from
Ccvlon to the northwestern corner
Of India, because they experience
tho same effects from the attraction
of the mountain mass that the wa
ter feels.

Of heights 8 mean or average sea

MAKING HOG CHOLERA SERUM
Object of Treatment Is to Stimulate
Production of Antibodies in AMI
mails System.

Serum is blood taken from a healthy
hog which has received special treat
ments consisting of injecting large
quantities of virus or hog cholera
blood directly into it's veins or circus
lation.
The object of this treatment is to
stimulate the production of antibodies
or immune bodies. A hog that is made
immune to hog cholera by the use Of
serum has sufficient quantity of an
tibodies to protect itself, but has not
enough to protect others, consequent
ly, we must create an excess of anti
bodies in its system, which is done as
described above.
The blood taken from hog thus
prepared with the addition of very
small amount Of preservatives consti-
tutes hog cholera serum as placed on

QUICK PASTURES FOR SHEEP
Rye, Wheat, Barley Oats, ETC., Are,
All ExcelIent-cowpea Is Favorite
Among Legumes.

For a Quick-growing sheep pasture
some Of the grain plants are excellent.
Rye, wheat, barley, oats, etc., are all
used. Some of the peas and other
legumes are often used, the commons
cowpea being a general favorite for
this purpose. Sorghums are big help
when sown in the spring to furnish
sheep pasture during the dry deather
of midsummer, when the meadow
grasses are brown and the bluegrass
is apparently dead.
There is great list of grasses that
may be used in establishing tempo
rary sheep pasture. When pasture is
needed in a short time it is necessary
to pick grass that will establish it,
self at once and begin furnishing for
age. Timothy is fairly satisfactory and
SO are all the clovers. Take timothy
and red clover as a combination to
be sown early in the spring, with a
nurse crop of oats and you have al
mixture that is hard to beat. CoWpeaS
sown in the corn will make fine late
pasture for sheep and lambs.
Alfalfa has been recommended as q
sheep pasture. It has points in It's
favor, but these are more than Off
set by It's disadvantages. It will grow
quickly and furnish a vast amount Of
grazing, but unless it is well mixed
with other grasses it's value is doubt
full for thiSl reason: 1t is likely to
cause bloating. This, with the harm
to the alfalfa that will be caused by
the characteristic close grazing of the
sheep makes it a poor plant for
sheep pasture.
