SCIENTIFIC FACTS
ABOUT BASEBALL.

When next you see baseball game
you will find it more interesting II
you realize that a thrown ball travels
l2O miles an hour, OF at twice the
speed of the fastest railroad train, 1t
travels from second base to the home
plate, or from first bast to third base
in one second.
See the man pick up the bat; he is
going to hit the ball. At all events he
will try to hit it. A little over four
fifths of a second elapses from the in
slant when the ball leaves the pitch
er's hand to the instant when it is
struck by the bat.
The man has hit the ball. If 1t is a
straight hard drive the ball will travel
at speed of something like $50 miles
an hour.
1t was, let US say, two-base hit.
The runner stands at second base and
the pitcher winds up for fresh ef-
fort. He is a fast pitcher, and the ball
he sends over the plate is one of his
swiftest. 1t travels at a speed of two
and two-fifths miles a minute, or 210
feet a second
Bang! is home run this time.
The runner, If doing his best, covers
the distance between each two bases
in three and half seconds. The cir
cult he must cover is track 800 feet
in length, or little less than one
fifteenth of mile, without reckoning
the departure he makes from the ex-
act line of the course.
The $50 feet corresponds to the de-
grees of circle. If circle be drawn
so that all four points of the baseball
diamond fall upon its circumference,
the first base, second base, third base
and home plate will be located at the
80, $50, go and $50 degrees marks
The pitchers station is in the approx
innate center.
Baseball is really governed by
mathematics. 1t is highly scientific
pursuit. Those who understand it best
are even now learning a great deal
about it which they did not know be-
fore by systematic study of pictures
taken with the so-called "slow mo-
ton" camera.
This sort of camera takes photo
graphs at tremendous speed, 100 of

CHEMISTRY MAY

Chemistry is the new great wonder
II half the discoveries reported to the
American Chemical Society achieve

articles as German ingenuity devised
during the war. The announcement
that cheaper fuel is possible will be

Of coal and petroleum waste, half
cooked coal and Ignite, of which there
are large deposits in the Middle West,
all may reduce materially our pres
ent excessive coal bills.
Strip made from sweet potatoes
sounds lige German "Ersatz." To be
sure, strip has been made Of late
from almost everything except mo-
lasses. The maple strip Of commerce
is usually guiltles sof any relation
hip to the sugar maple which made
Vermont famous. Sweet potato strip,
we are told, contains large proper
ton of maltrose, by reason of which t
gives rich brown crust to loaves
and cakes. Vanilla extract now dan
gerously associated with alcohol, may
hereafter be made with glycerine. So
it will not have to be banished to the
limbo to which bay rum has been ex-
lied. Perhaps chemistry may yet make
wines with the old flavor btu without
the old kick
The suggestion that cattle feed may
b made out Of sawdust is most In
triguing. An earlier but unscientific
experimenter found that the horse
died Just as soon as he had become

change from grain to sawdust may be
les fatal. Perhaps the human stomach
may be equally adequate to the task

EXPLOSION CAUSED BY DUST.

When the Bureau of Chemistry of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture started investigations with the
object of reducing fires and eexplo-
sions caused by dust in the grain ele-
vators and mills 1t was not long be-
fore the experts realizes these fires
and explosions were by no means con-
fined to the grain business. These
.dust-explosion investigations are hay
ing wide influence. which has en-
tended to many industries. Aluminium
dust, starch and even fish meal, a by
product of fish canneries, have all
ben found susceptible to the condi-
tons which produce disastrous explo-
sions.
The latest development goes to
prove that the mysterious blow
sacks" so well known to firemen are
in some cases caused by dust With
teh knowledge of this fact as a guide
many fatal accidents may be avoided.
The firemen Of America find the mat
ter Of sufficient Importance to war

partment of Agriculture in a study of
preventive methods.
The subject was taken up by the
National Firemen's Association at

ton at Peoria, H., Engineers engaged

CLOTHING BAGS
INCREASE SALES
Business at the Goodfellcws' Friday
Afternoon Sales Were Hundred
| Per Cent Bigger Than
Usual.

Friday afternoon sales at the Good
fellows shop in the library building
were increased one hundred per cent
last Friday afternoon, due to the new
method of collecting old clothes, which
Keokuk people are donating to this
organization, Miss Alice Hinkley of
Rock Hall Center, reported this morn
ing.
Only four of the two dozen bags dis
tributed by the Kings Daughters were
collected for last week and the con-
tents of these four produced the hun
dred per cent gain in the sales. This
still leaves twenty bags which are in
Keokuk homes at this time being
filled. Enough of them will be col
lected at one time to accommodate the
needs of the Friday afternoon sale
and the others held in reserve. The
bags collected will be distributed
again and thus kept in constant circu-
lation.
The committees in charge are con-
fident that the Friday afternoon sales,
which are held in the library building
for the purpose of furnishing people,
who need it, clothing at the lowest
possible price, will be we'll patronized
all winter now that the supply has
been increased. The money from these
sales is turned over to Rock Hall
Center and used for community and
charity affairs there.

What is a Vamp2

UNITED Press Leased Wire Servfce.1
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Oct. 18.--
Short skirts plus lace stockings plus
low necked waists plus drug store
compilations equal-a vamp.
This problem in moral mathematics
was worked out here today by Police
Chief Joseph NJ. Quigley, in discuss
ing the cause and effect of the flfrt-
ing nuisance.
The chief maintained that If there
were no vampires there would be no
Washers and that every woman who
dresses immodestly comes automaH
cally within the category of vamp
regardless OF how high her morals
may be.
$50 long as women continue to ap-
pear in public in costumes which, to
say the least, should be reserved for
the BOULDER, they will be regarded by
men as walking invitation to men
to start a irritation" Quigley said
"I do not believe that a modesuy
dressed woman has anything to fear
anywhere. I never have been able
to figure out why women and girls
dresser rather understand paint
themselves the way they do. Assured
ly most of them are entirely inno-
cent Of any wrong motive. But as
long as they have the outward ap'
pearance of welcoming firtati5n,
they will be accommodated"

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-Adoption of a
