of Providence, r. l., watches ball games

but even on the ball field he can't help
exporting a little, and he decided to
find out how fast a pitched ball tray

According to his test. the fast ball of
some speed pitchers travels as fast as
"a miles a minute.
Previous experiments in base ball
speed have been conducted along the
line of electric controls. Mr. GiIbreth
devised something entirely new. and it
Is probable his work will be greatly
extended.
Behind the catcher he had a black
board measured off in squares. There
was also a clock with one hand which
made six revolutions per second. Nov
ing pictures Of the various stunts were
taken and the position of the clock
hand on the blackboard enabled him to
count the time required by noting the
difference in the position of the hand
Gilbreth found some exceptionally

FOR PATRONS
Method Of Encouraging Riding on
Street Cars in Lima, Peru.-Fare
Checks Given.
BY Ripley.

How they encourage riding on the
street cars of Lima, Peru. by giving
fare checks and conducting a lottery
each month, with prizes of approx
mately $50 to the passenger holding
the lucky number is told by Special
Agent Philip S. Smith, in a report to
the Department OF Commerce.
He says:
mo cash registers are used on the
street cars of Lima. Peru. the company
preferring to rely for its recosds upon
serially numbered. printed paper slips
somewhat similar to the transfers used
in the United States. One of these is
given to each passenger when his fare
is paid, and he Is required to show 1T
to the inspector who boards the cars
at frequent intervals to check up the
conductor. Two kinds of slips are used
one for a straight ride and another
for a "connexion,''-or transfer to an
other line. When the latter is pre-
sented to the conductor on the con-
Meeting line, one end is. torn to show
that it has been Cancelled. but the ticket
Is retained by the passenger. as In the
case Of the stratght-ride ticket, so that
he may participate in. the monthly or
semi monthly drawings of the COM
pany.
Different coIored tickets are used on
each line. and these are changed from
day to day to avoid fraudulent use Of
the tickets. The lines about the city
are divided into four sections. A prize
OF ESQ is given to each of the three princi-
pal sections and flo is given to the
fourth. From among. the numbers APP
pearjng on the tickets sold. as verified
by the company's books. one is drawn
for each line and the prize is awarded
