sorapine a Bat.

Baseball players are as superstiHous
as Zulus. In no way is this more lucid
ly illustrated than in the care which
some Of them lavish upon an ordinary
baseball bat. Manufacturers, says the
Popular Science Monthly, oil and shell
lac their bats to make them sleek and
fresh, and the superstitious baseball
player proceeds to use glass, bone,
sandpaper and what not to remove the
finish. Why? Oh, "just because" to
give a woman's reason. He may have
a notion that the bat will last longer
without it. But the truth is that the
shellac really acts as preservative of
the wood.
Some baseball players imagine that 1t
is impossible to make strong hit with
a new bat, because the bat is so sleek
that the balls glance of it. Others be-
lieve that scraping bat fills up the
crevices and cracks and thus lengthens
the Life Of the bat.

The captain had spent weeks on the

his Investigations into his letter to

structure Of the monsters, tracing the
notifications Of the gills, mir bladders,

Of controlling them, And this was so

However, MaCBenrd cared little for
this In his supreme joy. His dreams
took definite shape at last, rushing into

him into an ecstasy. He saw the mar
of the future, the supcrman, who was
already at hand, irresistible by reason
Of his numbers, strength and cunning,
And he saw himself, the ruler Of Il new
world which had never heard Of the
eighth commandment.
Next morning he left Baltimore In
his motorbOat. II was constructed so
us to be practically unsInIlablc, and he
had stored it with provisions, gaso-
line and instruments. He had several
weeks supplies on board. He was de
pendent on no one.
He started northward at once,
passed within n few miles of the FJ5
upon his course, and reached Fair
island. When he set foot upon its
rocky, lonely shores, he knew that at

meant 10 exercise 1t to the full.
