FILM TEACHES CUB PLAYERS
Some Things Shown on Screen That
Prove How Easy II ls for
on Athlete to Err.

Jack Root. former professional
scrapper of nate, has cinema palace
of class in Pasadena. and he invited
the Cubs, when they We're training in
California. to inspect the films, which
show plays being made eight times as
slowly as they really happen.
The result is weird. When the
pitcher hurls the ball it seems to go
at snail's pace, and the break in the
curve is shown, amazingly clear. The
whole film is a scream. When the bat
ter hits at the incoming agate he
brings his hickory around so deliber-
ately that the spectators shout with
the humor of 1t all.
All of these Cubs are supposed to
know about everything there is to
learn regarding the actual playing end
of the game, but they learned a lot
from the film.
The decision Mt second base, for
example shows how a play that may
seem close can be-when filmed by the
movie man-iust the reverse.
An especially good bit was when the
pitcher threw the bali and then turned
slowly and watched it go past him for
hit. The expression on his face was
immense.

rlres Kept Burning 200 Years
with this Earthly Fuel.
In this twentieth century, with its
wireless telegraph and other wonder
full inventions, more and more atten-
ton is being given to peat as a sub
stitute for coal. The principal scien-
tittc schools, such as the Boston
School OF Technology and the Uniyer-
sity OF Wisconsin, have devoted CON
siderable time to experimental work
with view to solving the problem.
Pliny, the Roman historian, says that
a German tribe pressed with their
hands a kind Of messy earth which
they dried and burned for cooking pur-
poses and for warming their bodies"
Beckman, in his History OF Inven-
TONS mentions a letter of sanction
by Abbot LudOiph, in the year 1l3. per-
hitting nunnery near Utrecht to
dig peat. The same authority in
forms us that the words "turbo" and
"turfa' occur in certain land grants in
the years 1880, 1871, 1901, 1910. In
the laws of Scotland as early as 1140
mention is made of extensive traffic in
this fuel. Charred peat was used in
the Freyberg smelling houses in the
year 1860 and in England in the early
part or the seventeenth century.
In England today there are domes-
