The Indian Sign Language.

A white man who visits q foreign Nat1on finds il hard and sometimes Impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of a uni- versa] language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world. Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal lan- guage converse with his southerp brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was invented no one knows, but every In. dian learns it in addition to his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held a conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither one knew a word of the oth- CTS language This universal Ian guage is, of course, made up of signs.

A FairyIand Mine.

To the Mineralogist the Copper Queen mine of Bisbee, Ariz., has been for many years kind of fairyland, yielding rare treasure In copper and lime minerals, of much variety and marvellous beauty of specialization and coloring. A recently opened cavern or grotto, filled with etalactitcs and stalagmites of delicate green and blue tints, was brought to the notice of Dr, E. o. Hovcy before destruction by the miners, and this made possible the transfer of the section of the fOrma- ton that is now set up among the wonders of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The grotto thus preserved, in space IT feet high and 10 feet square, is lined with some 50 boxes of carefully col lected and restored cave material, the outside being roughly built up of lime stone blocks. One stalagmite of the mine cave had been deposited to a height of nearly IA feet by water drip ping for an estimated period of 2o,OOO years.

BIG LEAGUE CLUBS -
AIM TO RETRENCH
Training Operations to Be Con-
Quoted on Very Modest
Scale.

From present Indications spring
training operations of the 16 major
league ball clubs will be conducted on
a very modest scale in 1918.
The heavy expense Of taking a big
squad of ball players to the sunny
Southland has caused talk Of curtail-
ments along this line for several years,
but because Of the hard knocks base-
ball has taken in financial way and
holds for the game owing to the world
war, there is little chance that the club
| owners will be ready to spend money
lavishly next spring.
| A forerunner of the retrenchment
| policies of major league-Owners was
found in the draft last September,
when the major league clubs drafted
fewer players than for the past ten
years. The Chicago White Sox, for
instance, did not draft single player.
Neither did the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Several other clubs drafted only one
or two men, and before spring train
ing time arrives next March there is
|
players will be turned back.
The annual report Of the nationa
commission, showing the players pur
chased from the minor leagues by ma
jor league clubs between the dates O
the 1915 and 1917 drafts, showed to
tai of 127 players who were taken b.
the big leagues under approved agree
ments, other than optional contracts
In this list the Boston Red Sox did nc
obtain single player by the purchas
route, while the Boston Braves got bl
one. The drafted players totaled 8
IL of whom were drafted by America
league clubs and 21 by clubs in tt
National league.
H. In all the major leagues secured
total of 160 players, including bo
is those purchased for trial and tho
elk drafted. Of this number it is sa
70 that not more than SO per cent will

Annexation of South Sea Islands.

HnneXattCn OF SCUI.1 ga tSidftOo.
A formal declaration that Japan i'm.
tends to retain possession after thl
war, of the South Sea islands, now I'M

the chamber of deputies says the To-

ing until the recovery of Alsace-Lor-
raine: it is wise for nation to de-
clare it's aims in prosecuting war.
notwithstanding this, some Japanese
bureaucratic statesmen make point
Of denouncing the attitude of those in
favor of declaring to the world the
lust and proper demands of the Japa-
nese people. in connection with the
war, lest it hurt the feelings of the
allies. 1t is mistake to view d dec
laratiOn of the just claims of a nation
| as a demonstration of selfish inten-
tions or breach of international eti-
uuette, says the Tokyo paper, and the
Japanese government should follow
the example of the French cabinet and
make public declaration at once as
to Japan's intention to retain posses
sion of the South Sea islands after the
war and to make other proper claims.
Such frank declarations on the part
of belligerents are important in max
ing known to all concerned their true
intentions. The Tokyo Asahi concludes
by declaring that the Japanese people
are desirous that their government
