came to bat connected for one or more hits,
with the exception of one man and Satur-
day was the first time this season he has
been in the locals lineup. Some of the
local batters have made wonderful in
crease in their batting percentages, while
at the same time there are others who
have fell below the zero mark in fielding.
In most cases the fielding is perfect but
the errors are made in wild throwing.
Five of Saturdays errors were the result
of wild throwing after the ball had been
perfectly felded and there was oceans of
time to retire the runner. More fielding
and throwing practice from their indi-
vidual positions on the diamond seems to
be what the locals need the most and
when in practice the ball should be thrown
about the diamond with as much interest
as if they were in actual combat with
giants.

A RATTLESNAKE'S RAFTING

Professor Mabel c. Williams set her.
self to determine how fast rattlesnake
would vibrate when the snake was ex-
cited.
She experimental with the tail of
diamond black RATHER from Texas, with
nine or ten remaining rattles, others hav-
ing been broken off.
Two assistants kept the snakes head
out of mischief and handled the record
ing apparatus while Prof. Williams held
the tail as far back from the tip as pos
sible, and directed wire she had fastened
to it against brass plate. The touching
of the plate completed an electric circuit
which recorded the vibrations upon time
indicator
Then the assistants made the snake
angry, and it began rafting. The speed
of the vibrations of its tail varied from
% to 80 hundredths of second. The
rafting produces a tone which depends
not upon the vibration, but upon the
NATURAL TeSOudIlCc VI IdttlCS uuCIuSClVCSs
"The pitch of this tone," writes Prof.
Williams, "as determined by two musi-
clans with very keen sense of pitch, and
checked with accurately tuned forks, is
between c and c sharp; the tone is ex-
pressed, therefore, by about 1913 to 1856
vibrations per second. Very marked
changes in rate of tail, from the fastest
that could be produced by marked pro-
vocation, to the almost quiescent state, did
not cause huctuation of the pitch be-
yond this approximate half-tone. The
tone itself is exceedingly complex, how
ever, and it might conceivably vary with
the number and size--of the rattles. 1t
was possible to detect, but not to identify,
certain overtones.
"The popular impression that the rat
ties uses his rattles as a warning that he
is about to strike is regarded by Prof. H.
r. Dill as quite erroneous. This snake
when striking normally does SO first and
rattles afterwards, if at all. 1t will, for
instance, strike at a bird placed in the
cage, rattle, then strike again. 1t ap-
pears that the rattle is rather to terrify
than to warn. 1t is also used as defen
sive mechanism.
"The instinct to vibrate the tail is not
peculiar to the rattlesnake, but is COM
mon to many other species, as, for in
stance, to the non-venomous king snake
and the blue racer."-Ex:

LAKE MOVES IDAHO CITY

American Falls, Idaho, before long will
occupy the bottom of lake and, with
commendable prudence, the residents are
getting ready to move out. The lake will
be the largest irrigation reservoir in the
world, body of water 70 miles long.
created by damming river.
The dam will be mile long, 100 feet
high and will cost $15,OOO,O00. 1t is to
be the most important engineering feature
of one of the greatest irrigation projects
ever undertaken anywhere, the enterprise
being comparable in magnitude to that by
which the waters of the Nile have been
successfully controlled.
The work will start at the headwaters
of the Snake river, in Wyoming, and by
the construction of reservoirs at high alti-
tudes vast quantities of water that now go
to waste will be obtained for storage by
bringing it through tunneed mountains
from lakes that now drain toward the At
lantic, and thereby causing them to turn
their drainage in the direction of the
Pacific.
The stored waters will reclaim 1O0O,-
600 acres of dry and dusty desert at
total cost of about $1OO,OOOOOO. As for the
people of American Falls, a new and
model city will be built for them on a
level and commanding plateau overlooking
the lake that covers their former homes.

tho Times is not lessened by the as
surance that it is merely President

Tho British delegates, continued the
Times, could no more than expect the
general desire of Great Britain to
forward the cause of peace, and ere
ticence will be felt by the prudent
until American opinion in and out of

would restore youth to the aged ana

It was Ben Jonson's alchemist.
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century who planned ito change all
that is in my house to gold. and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy their
tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for
by means OF this magic elixir. in eight
and twenty days he planned to II ans
form an old man Of four score into .

Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in peObrming these marvels.
The philosophers stone still Is an un-
known quantity to science, buried. per
haps, with the pot Of gold at the rain
bows end. and the elixir Of youth is rs
deeply hidden as on that far-on day
when De Soto set forth so bravely
from Spain TO find it in the new world.
But chemistry has accomplished won

products which contribute to every
phase Of our daily life. Take the

into this rather uninteresting sub
