GERMAN GUNS OF THE FUTURE

which for centuries has protected it
from the continent.
The krupp firm perfected the 42-cen-
timeter gun years ago, according to
Prof Rausenberger. but il was only
shortly before the outbreak of the war
that it was found possible to make
these giant cannon Independent of rail-
roads and easily transportable.
Radical Change in Forts.
The forts of the future. he believes,
will differ vastly from those of the
present. There have always been forth
fed boundary lines, but even the pres
ent-day heavy artillery has spelled
doom for fortified cities with fort
girdles.
The inventor pays his compliments
to American ammunition, which. he
says. is infinitely better today than at
the beginning of the war. Experience
has shown. he declares. that pressed
ammunition is vastly better than cast
or nodded ammunition. but points out
that special machinery is necessary for
the former type. He warns against
understanding the productive power
Of Germanys opponents along am
munition lines, although he asserts
enemies in this connection, and is able
to contemplate calmly all increases in
the use of such war material.

No Accounting for Appetites.

There is no accounting for the freaks
of human appetites The Roosevelt
story of how he got the best work out
of the men with sharp-flIed teeth by
promising them the choicest bits of raw
hippopotamus and rhinoceros steak for
speed in skinning, will be recalled by
many who read the articles in the
magazines at the time of his African
expedition. Capt. Robert II. Bartlett,
commander of the Karluk, which car
.CL.c waters, says
that on his return from Herald Island
to northern Siberia he found raw polar
bear meat tasting better than any piece
de resistance he had ever eaten in the
home country.
The Frenchman likes his snails and
wonders how any one who accepts
oysters can refuse them. In Canton,
China. rats sell for SO cents a dozen.
and dog steak brings more per pound
than leg of mutton. The Chinese
mandarin pays $50 pound for the bride
nests from which his soup is concocted.
In parts Of the West Indies the palm
worm is stewed In fat, while certain
African tribes are as fond Of cater
pillars as an American is OF reed birds
on toast. The Turks are as Disguised
with oysters as we are with the fish
the Corsican relishes.
! Eating earth, or geophagy. Is
common thing in many parts OF the

! regions various kinds OF earth are sold

of certain species of flies are used by
the Indians in making food paste
which is regarded as great delicacy.

Allow Fish to Decompose.

Some of the arctic tribes allow their
fish to decompose when it becomes to
them the same savory delicacy that
Limburger or Harzer cheese is to US,
while, in point of true fragrance. the
palm remains to the fish. The Arabs
and many other Of the near eastern
peoples, prepare their bread in sheets
almost as thin as tissue paper and find
these crisp. tasteless things pleasing
In Central America, where creeping
things are regarded as clean and rea-
sonabie the lizard, the Iguana, forms
a choice article of food. Among the
tribes of southern Russia. mares milk
soured into an acrid. strong-tasting
beverage constitutes the chief article
of diet and the westerner. who at first
finds it nauseating, comes to form a
strong attachment for this drink. In
Syria, Mesopotamia and in Palestine
the locust now and again graces the
table in a roasted condition, and those
who have eaten him pronounce his
meat full of the most acceptable
flavor.

Doyle and Workman now care for
three spots in competent fashion.
Hunter will undoubtedly get a
chance at third base, and Charley
Pechous, the Peoria star, is also to
have a shot at that position.
In addition, Tinker has some re-
serve infield material, which has
been sadly lacking for the past few
weeks.
We lose a cIouting, whanging
third baseman who. can play ball
when he wants to, but who didn't
care a whoop what he did here. He
has had trouble with all managers,
though many of them, especially
Bresnahan, treated him well and
tried to satisfy him.
Harry WoIter, Los Angeles out
fielder, will be Immediately delivered
to the Cubs if the demands Of Pres.
Weeghman are met. The Cub boss
wants Wolter now to ciTcumvent the
draft law.
Pitchers Dawson and AIdrich have
been purchased by the Cubs from
Indianapolis. They will not report
until next spring. Both have estab-
ished regulations in the big minor.
Workman, the rookie shortfielder,
has no pOnderous batting mark, but
the youngster is improving and his
eye is growing sharper, despite the
fact that the league pitchers have
been given time to learn his weak
ness. He hit three balls hard yes
terday. Once Niehoff made a one
handed stab of his liner, Paskert
made a diving catch of a wicked
drive and Stock picked a singer off
his shoetops. When a fellow can hit
so viciously against a man like Alex.

Cy Williams came back as a pinch
hitter, doubling with the bases full
for both Cub runs.

Of the Hose.
Jim Scott and Benz between them
should have been good for ten more
victories than the club now shows.
And ten victories would be the diff
ference between first place and the
second division in the present hectic
race. Instead of getting the ten wins,
Scott and Benz have been stepping
stones to. the other fellows.
The team has taken seven lickings
against five wins in the east, but by
cleaning the Mackmen can leave
that section with one game better
than a fifty-fifty mark Boston is
five games ahead and the lead looks
big. Before reaching home the SOx
must visit western clubs and the OPP
position from Tigers and Browns will
be tough. Detroit has suddenly come
to life, some of Jennings uncertain
ties are turning in good pitching and
that is all. the club has needed at any
period of the season to make it a
contender.
While the western clubs are fight
ing among themselves Boston will be
visiting its eastern pals and trouble
should be encountered in New York
and Washington.
Sherwood Magee, Boston outfieId-
er, has set a new fielding record, hav-
ing accepted 10 chances in Is
games without an error. The best
previous mark was one error in 125
chances, made by Frank Schultz in
1908.

three hits and Washington beat
