ST. Lotus. June 15.-Dixie Davis,
hero of the great nineteen-innins

son, again demonstrated. his pecu-
liar mastery over the Washington
club this afternoon when he let
them down with six hits and
chalked up a 3-to-2 victory in a
thrilling slab duel with George

Although Mosridge allowed the
Browns ten hits during the seven
innings he pitched. the Senators
threw up a defense behind their
slabbist that held the score to the
narrowest possible margin. Five
double plays were turned by
Milan's men during the course Of
hostilities and they served to break
up as many st. Louis rallies.

Bean That Is a Cow

CULTIVATION of the soy bean. has de-
~ ve1oped in China TO such an extent that
1t now represents the principal agricultural
industry of that country. Immense areas
Of the great plains Of Southern Manchuria
are devoted to this crop. The worlds de.
mand for soy beans is steadily increasing,
and China's export of them bids fair soon to
surpass in value that Of its silk output.
There are more than 1000 varieties of soy
beans, from which an experiment station
at Kung -chu ling, in Southern Manchuria,
has chosen one as the best of all. 1t is
nearly spherical, yellow in color and of the
bigness Of a small pea. "A yield of 20 per
cent Of oil is obtained from it. The soy

An Eel Nursery

TINE market supply of fish in Austria
l. and Czccho- Slovakia is furnished to n;
large extent from ponds in which the fishes
are bred. no artificial Matching being ncccs-
Sary. Such ponds yield crops as regular and
satisfactory as equal areas Of the best agri-
cultural land.
In many ponds GELS are grown. Fishes
Of that kind breed in the ocean, and so it is
necessary to buy the young ones in quantity,
''Dlanting' them in the ponds and feeding
them with refuse until they are big enough to
be marketable.
The little cells used for planting are mostly
imported from France and Italy. In our
own country the streams in early spring
swarm with little cells running up from the
sea, and. if we were to adopt the practice OF
planting them in ponds, allowing them to
grow, they would afford an important and
valuable contribution to our food supply.

WHY use expensive gasoline? Air is
w cheap and not likely to rise in price.
Put in an air turbine and be independent
of the gas trust.
A Brooklyn man, Edward L. Fitz Gibbon.
believes that he has solved the problem with
IN air engine for automobiles that saves
fuel costs, does away with much intricate
machinery and abolishes danger of fire or
explosion.
Beneath the car iaccording to his novel
design are two large cylindrical tanks to
hold compressed air, which may be forced
into them through a hose. They are con-.
nected together .by a. pipe, from which an
other pipe extends upward and forward, .its
nozzle delivering q Jet Of air under pressure
upon the blades Of q turbine wheel.
The turbine is at the front Of the car,
under the hood, and, carrying on It's
periphery a number Of blades, it rotates
Inside Of an air-tight casing. It's shaft is
xeared to a driving shaft; which makes the
rear wheels Of the automobile go round.
You see, Of course, how it works. The jet
of compressed air from the tanks is thrown
forcibly against the blades of the turbine,
causing the latter to rotate, and the power
TIM developed IL transmitted to the rear
whseis Of the CIR for the purpose Of pro.
pulsSon.

Electrifying Finland

TN THE interior of Finland is an enormous
i area of crooked lakes, occupying tortuous
valleys, from which many rivers run to the
Gulf of Rothnia, the Gulf of Finland and the
Baltic Sea. 1t is a region rich in available,
waterpowers, from which in the course OF
time it will derive industrial Importance.
Most important of these sources of power
is the Upper Vioksen River, which has q
series of considerable falls. BY suitable
damming and joining Of falls it could be-
made to yield ESQ 900 horsepower. Com
paratively simple engineering operations will
enable the stream to develop 10000 horse
power, and on that basis q power plant is
to be established at Imatra which will suf.
fee to ~elcctrify the whole Of Finland. !Ths
annual output Of power expected is $780,
600, 600 kilowatts-equivalent to what could
be obtained by burning 5000, 600 cubic
yards of wood or 100000 tons Of ccal in
a steam plant. The Finnish railways use
wood for fuel, consuming about 2.200, 600
cubic yards annually.

Swimming
In the Air

AN OLD.FAsH1ONED method of teach
"A ing a youngster to swim Is to oa,ancs
him on his stomach upon a piano stool anu
show him the proper fl like motions: For q
grown person this is hardly dignlhed. DE-
sides, it must be owned that a dry swim
apparatus newly invested by Gustav a.
Fischer, of Cleveland, o., offers advantages
altogether superior.
The contrivance employs a pair OF ropes
which are doubled and hung over a couple OF
strong hooks in the ceiling of a room. Inc
ropes ore passed through an oblong ring ahd
thence extended in such wise as to support
n long. narrow board. Near the ends OF the
beard are slots, into which the. ropes tit, to
be thereupon tied so that they may not slip.
The long ends of the ropes thus hang from
the board, a pair of them from each ex-
tremity thereof. One pair terminates IN
two pockets shaped like half-shoes. The
other pair carries a couple of rings, which
are held a little distance apart by n spacer-
ring above, being secured thereto BY knots.
The dry swimmer inserts his toes into the
half. shoes, and grips with his hands the W
rings. Thus suspended, he can GO through
all the motions Of swimming. AT Intervals
q campstool placed beneath his stomach will
afford rest. r

competition. Another reason is that in our
country labor costs too much to make flax
growing profitable.
: For a very long time Scotland and Ire
land have produced most of the linen used
by the English-speaking world. The moist
innate of those regions is favorable for
bleaching. In former days the Irish and
Scotch raised their own flax, but in recent
years they have imported it in enormous
quantities from Russia until that source
OF supply was cut off and from Belgium.
Some German linens wear like iron, but
in finish and pattern the Irish and Scotch
are far superior. To be a linen designer
demands an artistic skill not inferior to
that required of a designer of laces. One
thousand dollars was. the price paid not
long ago for a tablecloth and twenty four
napkins in the pattern of which the Rape
of Proserpinc was depicted.
The French and Belgians are famous
for their fine damask linens, which when
finished in silk are called "silk damask."'
That kind of weave gets its name from an
ancient cloth of Damascus. The designs
are exquisite; and in converts and schools
children study art lettering for napkins,
tablecloths, etc.

A throttle valve. operated by u lever
close to the drivers seat, enables him to
control the force Of the air jet delivered to.
the blades of the turbine wheel, and thus
to regulate speed as lie wishes.
The air. encountered by a rapidly moving
automobile cxerts a. strong pressure against
the front of the vehicle This pressure rep
resents power. and some of it (the in
ventor b~e1ieves) can be proftably utilized.
Hence he proposes to erect at the front Of
the machine a funnel, facing forward, to
swallow a portion of the opposing air and
deliver it through a pipe to the rear of the
turbine, where it will impinge. upon the
blades, help to drive the turbine wheel and
give additional speed to the car
This, however, is not all. The inventor
proposes to gather in nearly oil the res.
Of the opposing air through a funnelgthree
feet in diameter, opening out Of the front
of the car and inviting a rush of atmosphere
to make its way to a condenser, from which
1t will be pumped to the tanks. The
pumping will be done by a small gas or
other motor, which will also operate u
dynamo for lighting the vehicle.
It is suggested that a third tank for, the
storage of compressed air may conveniently
occupy the space behind thes axle Of the
rear wheels under the car.

the upper end to fly forward and hit a pin
which knocks a small cube off q shelf in
front Of the scoreboard-the cube failing
upon the playing field. There are three
cubes and three pins.
It is the business of the batsman to guess
the slot through which the ball will come:
He wants the ball to hit his bat (the stick,

the result of the hit. ~
Each base of the diamond has, in place of

Thus the progress of the runners is shown.
If a man is on base and a hit is made, he

The scoreboard is marked off for innings

E>ACEEDINGLY clever is the idea of
- Nicholas L. Shechan, of Lakewood, O..
who has newly patented a game Of baseball
that can be played in the house on q table.
A board, specially constructed for the
game, represents a playing field, with Il
baseball diamond marked out on it. The
ball is thrown by a little wooden gun,
energized by a spring plunger, which takes
the place of the pitcher. 1t is a game for
two players. One of them operates the gun
the other Representing the opposing team
stands Or sits at the opposite end Of the
board.
Across this latter end is erected a score
board. which incidentally serves to conceal
las will presently be explained) certain
doings of the opposing player which have
relation to the batting.
TIL gun is positioned in a trough below
the level of the playing field. This trough,
in fact, runs the entire length of the board,
so that the marble representing the ball),
when discharged from the gun by the pitcher,
passes not over but beneath the field.
The trough is divided into three length.
wise slots, and the gun is so pivoted that
the pitcher can at will direct the ball

the right-hand slot.
Fastened to the rear of the scoreboard is
a small horizontal rod, on which a fat stick,
pivoted In the middle, is SO adjusted that by
pushing it along the rod it can be made to
assume any one Of three positions.
Suppose that the batsman (player No. o
behind the scoreboard) places the stick in
the middle position. If thereupon the pitcher
fires the ball through the middle slot. it will
