NEW YORK. Sept. 19-Tempera
ment in a ball player is sometimes
regarded as a valuable asset. But
not when a player Overw orks it.
Stars like Heinie Zim, T. Raymond
Cobb and Johnny Evers-not over
looking Buck Herzog-who are
highly tempered players, continue
TO hold their places in the major
leagues from season 10 season be-
cause they do not permit tempera-
ment TO come between them and the
owners OF their ball clubs.
Every one OF the players named
here has had a long list OF rows
since he broke into the big show
Some of the wrangles have been on
the field of play, others have been
clubhouse affairs and still others
have been the result OF differences
between the player and his man
ager, or the club owner But all
have been amicably patched up and
10 give his club the best brand OF
baseball he possessed.
But temperament of the kind
shown by Pitcher Al Mamaux of the
Pirates is som ething else again.
Mamaux has permitted his tempera-
ment to run away with him. He
contracted a grudge against Barney
Dreyfuss last winter and refused to
forget il. AS a result he was black
listed a short time ago by the Pitts
burg club, and before he returns TO
the good graces of the national
commission he will be a thorough
ly repentant player.
Because of a difference over sal
airy MamauX and Dreyfuss came TO
the parting of the ways, and al
though the pitcher signed his con-
tract and started the season, he re-
fused to give the Pirates his best
AS a result the wonderful young
pitcher of 1915 was a constant loser
during the time he pitched for Pitts
burgh this year, and when Hugo
Bezdek took the reins he refused
to stand for Mamaux's actions and
promptly suspended him.
Mamaux was evidently playing
for his release. He has long want
ed to be a member of the New
York Giants, but it appears that he
took the wrong track to gain his
ends.

UNSUNG HEROES MEMORIAL
Monument Erected In Memory Of Gal.
liant Deeds of Engine-Room Heroes
of British Navy.

At the Princess Pier Head in Liver.
pool, granite monument has been
erected in memory of the valiant deeds
of the engine-room heroes of the Brit
fsh navy, according to Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. In addition to the
interest the memorial attracts as q
work Of art, it is notable for two
things. 1t is one Of the very few shafts
\ that have ever been raised anywhere
in honor Of the many courageous sea-
going engineers, mechanics, and CO.
workers who have stuck to their posts
in the face Of death and performed
their duties with self-sacrif1cing pa
triOtism equal to that Of any soldier
or sailor. The other noteworthy point
is that the memorial is the only impor-
tant English work Of its type that has
ever been executed solely in granite.
1t Is 48 feet in height and consists of
an obelisk surrounding heavy base,
on two sides of which are sculptured
groups representing the different d.
visions In the personnel Of an engine.
room staff. The other two sides Of the
rectangular support carry inscriptions
At the corners Of the top part Of the
base are four figures symbolical of
earth, air, fire, and water, Behind
these figures and supposedly supported
by them is sea-circumscribed globe,
on each side Of the back Of which a
o.
lightly-draped feminine figures, holding
wreaths, crowns, the shaft, which at the
apex Is surmounted by fiery torch.

LAKES OF SODA IN AFRICA
Lake Magadl Consists Of Solid Block
Of Pure Sesqulearbonate
Of Soda.

If Great Britain succeeds in hold.
Ing German East Africa, she will come
into possession Of one of the greatest
deposits Of soda in the world. England
has already an enormous deposit in
Lake Magadi, which lies east of Lake
Victoria Nyanza and about 2SO miles
from the sea, and consists of a solid
block Of almost chemically pure ses.
quicarbOnate Of soda with q surface
area Of at least fifty square miles. It
is known to be nine feet deep, and
may be fifty or hundred.
This lake is generally dry, when It
looks as If frozen. After a rain it Is
covered with a layer of strong soda
water. Il is fed by many springs, all
charged, md some Of them saturated
with soda. This proves that some.
where near by there is a far larger
deposit.
Across the border line in German
East Africa are Lakes Natron, Egassi
and Lawa-Yamwerie, larger than Lake
Magadi and formed q almost pure
carbonate Of soda. + IS as these that
will become British in the event d
England winning the German colony.

MOST POPULAR CASH.

The treasury department. announces
that it will meet the growing demand
for one dollar and two-dollar bills by
Issuing greenbacks in those denOmina'
tons. Such action is authorized by
the act Of March 4, 1907, but there has
been little occasion for it heretofore,
The total amount Of one-dollar and
twO-dOllar greenbacks outstanding at
present is only 100000. Nobody
knows how many of these have been
lost or destroyed. The treasury still
reports every bill and every coin as
outstanding, if it has even been issued,
says st. Louis Globe Democrat. The
last report of the United States treas.
ury, for example, showed 28,000,OG9
bronze two-cent pieces and over d.
100000 nickel three-cent pieces in cir.
culation, although neither coin is often
seen. The tendency toward the use of
paper money has long been strong. The
estimated stock of silver dollars in the
country at the end Of the last fiscal
year was 63.27O,319, of which sol, 1885,
387 were held in the treasury. This
would leave only sc, 414,932 in "circula-
tion," including all that have been lost
or destroyed. This speaks volumes
for the unpopularity Of the "cart
Wheel" Silver certificates have prac-
tically taken the place Of the silver dol.
lars. Some idea of the activity of
one-dollar silver certificate may be
gained from the longevity table. The
average life is 1.01 years. The aver
age life Of a five-dollar certificate is
1856 years. The United States is
"hard-money" country, but the people
generally are averse to using the
actual coin. California still clings to
gold, probably for sentimental reasons,
but it is both inconvenient and expen-
sive, for it does not pass at face value
when worn. The people prefer paper
money when they know it is redeem.
able in gold. The more gold there is
