"Round Robin."

round robin" consists of a paper containing a petition. protest, com plaint, or congratulations around which the names of the signers are written in circle so as to avoid giving prom thence to any single name, and so that no name heads the list. The term has been found in Coverdale's preface to his translation of Calvin's Tract on the Lords Supper" dated 1546, but it is there used by "scurrilous Prot estants" as a term of reproach for the ciborium or pyx. Brewer claimed the term to be a corruption of the French 'rond" (round) "ruban" (ribbon) Ap- piled to persons, the term designated "a religious or political brawler.." It was used in this sense by Racket in his Life of Archbishop Williams (1692). "These Wat Tylers and Round, Robins being driven or persuaded out of Whitehall" The modern round robin is said to have originated with sailors who used the method in trying to secure redress of their grievances, an2 a record of this is to be found in ''The Gentleman's Magazine q. 23S) dated 1731.

UNHURT BY LONG IMMERSION
Articles salvaeed From sunken Ships Found to Be Practically Unharmed
 by Action of Water.

Captain Reginald Humphreys of the British navy in speaking of the action of the sea on vessels and merchandise says:
 Wooden ships, after being sunk, arc rapidly covered with a marine growth which forms a sort of lime deposit and preserves the wood in some cases for several centuries. We are informed by one of the underwriters of New York who had charge of the salvage operation on the Oregon that bicycles were brought up from her hold that had been in the water over four months and yet looked as bright as when they went down; also silks the outer folds of which only were in- jured.
 Some wines that had been recov- cred from a vessel sunk about fifty years brought $75 bottle at auction. Gold and some other metals, glass and precious stones are never affected.
 A new avenue of wealth is opened to the world by means of the salvagins submarine.

NeutraIized Poison Gas.

"Neutralizing ointment" is one of the latest war inventions. It is pub licly revealed in an official description of the protective devices against gas attacks issued to our troops. The mask, with it's contained chemicals for neutralizing any poisonous fumes that creep in is familiar. But one so- called gas is liquid and because of it's blistering effect the soldiers have given 1t the name of mustard gas" When an area is drenched with the stuff the menace may persist for many days. The peril is not from the liquid itself. Mustard gas burns through the clothing, and makes painful wounds where the flesh is reached. The newly invented ointment must apparently be rubbed all over the body, as well as on face and hands, to prepare the sol dier when the enemy's bursting shells are spraying this horrible gas about.

The first six Barons to face Robertson went out on infield grounders and it looked like another defeat for the home boys. In the third, however, Hairston scratched an 'nfield hit, took second on f'ielder's wild throw, stole third, and scored on Sigman's single to right.
 Sullivan drew life on Bernsen's error in the fourth, advanced to third on Stansbury's hit and scored on Fielders grounder to Stevenson.

BALLMER SLATED ID FACE MOBILE
COleman's Trained Bruins To Perform On Local
 Pasture Today

The Mobile Bears will be the opponents of Moley's Baron clan this afternoon and con- tinuing the rest of the week. The games today will start at the usual hour, 3:30 D. m.
 The Mobile team, under the guidance Of Bob Coleman, catcher, will present fairly good ball club. Though the Bears have made no beautiful showing thus far, they have club of fighters, and Mana ger Coleman expects to put Mobile up in the baseball world this season.
 The Bears started the season off by scoring a decisive win over the New Or leans Pelicans, and then turned around and threw two games away in Pelican vile. Coleman has few good ballplay- ner before the end of the season.
 Moley will more than likely send one Ballmer against the Coleman nine in today's battle, with Peters behind the platter. Ballmer appears to have worlds of stuff and the Baron manager is hop ing. he will bring home the bacon today and elude the jinx for good.
 The Bears have just closed series with Charlie Franks Crackers, in which the latter won two of the three gafcSs. Just who will oppose the Barons this afternoon has not yet been announced by Manager Coleman, but chances are that Fulton or Johnson will be assigned the twirling duties.
