japan and Baseball.

Japan is one of the few nations OF
the earth that has adopted the ina
tiOnal paStime" of the United States,
the game of baseball, which grew up.
in it's present form, in the latter coun-
try. The game has been tranSplanted,
has taken root, and is thoroughly flour
ishing In the island kingdom. But the
Japanese, according to one of them
recently travelling in America. are
making all their baseballs by hand, not
yet having perfected any machinery
for manufacturing them. This So
journer, who is a mechanical expert,
was much interested, while on his trip
in learning the method by which the
balls are made. The playing Of the
game in Japan, says this traveller, is
widespread. A few years ago two OF
the Japanese universities sent teams
to the United States, where they en-
gagged in competition with American
university mines. Their ability was
marked. and their craftsmanship ex
cellent The common interest of the
people of the two nations in this sport
has been recognized as a possible
source of increased understanding be-
tween them.

WATER FED FIRE
Case Where Liquid Was OF No
Use to Quench Flames.
Metallic Sodium in Vessels Hold
Merely Biazed More Fiercely as
Streams From Fire Hose
Reached It.

It is said that. for the most part,
water if applied in sufficient quantities
will eventually quench any fire. In
some cases, however, water not only
proves Intellectual but actually kindles
and nourishes the fire.
When freighter, the Hardy,
steamed out Of lie Treport, France.
some years ago she carried. besides
the mineral water in her hold num-
Der of small wooden cases marked
metallic sodium"
Now, the channel was rough. The
vessel rolled and pitched violently.
The captain saw that the ship was list
ing to port, and suspecting that the
cargo was shifting, sent bOatsWaln
below to investigate. AS the boat
swain entered the hold he saw that
several cases of mineral water had
broken and that the water was swish
ing about in the hold. Then suddenly
he saw one of the wooden cases
marked sodium" burst into flame.
Immediately he gave the alarm, and
the crew rushed to their fire stations.
The captain directed the men to turn
the hose into the hold. AS the first
stream of water struck the burning
case there were several explosions as
package after package within the case
caught fire. BY this time two other
cases of sodium had broken open, and
their contents, as they came in con-
tact with the water from the hose,
burst into flame.
The crew could not believe their
eyes, The more water they poured on
the fire, the more intense grew the
conflagration. Then suddenly two
cases flew into the air, crashed against
the overhead beams and spread out in
sheets of fire, the smaller pieces drop
ping back only to bounce and dance
about, huge balls of flame in the half
swamped hold.
The superstitious crew was fast be-
coming unmanageable, and the captain
saw that in any case he must abandon
the ship He ordered the crew to the
boats not a moment too soon, for as
the boats rowed away from the blazing
hulk several loud explosions came from
the hold. Then there was one mighty
detonation; the freighter broke in two
and plunged out of sight.

THE BLACK CAT
 LINK DESTROYED

It was back in the Sixteenth Cen tury, according to learned historian that the superstition of the black cat fable was introduced A cler- gyman, returning from his church after the Sunday evening services, carried with him the days offering of the congregation. A black cat darted in front of him and ten steps later he was felled when a heart less bandit attacked him. The victim was robbed and the assailant fled. this being attributed to the act of the heartless feline.
 History repeats itself in Douglas Fairbanks Big Four" production, When the Clouds Roll By" which will be shown at the Coliseum Thea tre on July Fifth. Doug is not a clergyman and he is not attacked by a thug, but a black cat crosses his path. Does he worry and fret over it? No. he just tightens his muscles and squares himself for a mighty attack on the annoying super stition, and smiles at the original fable.
