During the last ten years profess
sional wrestling has not been ex-
tremely popular because Of the fact
that some wrestlers have been cor
rupted by gamblers.
But this condition. as a rule. does
not exist today and men OF finer
standards and better education are
entering the game with beneficial
results TO the sport.
The illiterate wrestler OF the past
is being displaced by the scientific

Freakiest Home Run | EUer SatU

When batters are in a slump they
seek every possible means to kill off
the so-called jinx that~is pursuing
them.
Some batters worry terribly when
they slump in hitting. Others get
mighty peevish. A few take the
situation good-naturedly, accepting
it as a part OF the game. knowing
that in the end the breaks are about
hfty-hfty.
Eddie Collins Is one Of these chaps
b who figure there IS a reason for
everything. When Collins slumps.
he accepts his temporary failure to
hit as part OF the game.
He goes about his work in his
usual businesslike manner. As a
rule, failure to hit causes most play
ers to slump in all departments Of
the game. but not Collins.
Several years ago Collins was In
a batting slump that befalls a player
every so often. lie seemed to be
hitting the ball pretty well.' but
couldn't get It safe. Always. it
seemed. the drive would go directly

Instead Of getting discouraged,
Collins accepted tho break with a
smile, yet kept on trying to get back

cards. but interest IN the women
players has slumped. n attendance

that there would be nothing 20 the

Cannot LeaisIate Aaainst Bees.

City and borough governments can
not take action and make laws to in
terfere with bee-keeping, according to
report from the Pennsylvania depart
ment of agriculture. Such ordinances
will not stand when the defendants
convicted in the city courts under such
ordinances appeal to the higher courts
for justice. The liability of a bee
keeper for injury done by his bees
to some other person or to the prop
erty of another rests on the doctrine Of
negligence and not on the theory or
the bees being a nuisance. If bee
keeper in a city will arrange his bee
yard and management properly, there
will be no reason for complaint by
the neighbors, and if the neighDors get
stung, it is because of their own care
lessness.

W0MAN'S PART IN POLITICS
Peggy Eaton a Conspicuous Figure in
the Early Days of the Jackson
Administration.

The part played by pretty Peggy
Eaton in the politics of the early days
of the Jackson administration, the
scandal in which she figured, which
wrecked a cabinet, killed CalhOun's
chances for the presidency and ad-
vanced Van Buren, TO the succession,
has been a favOrite topic with his
torians OF the period. In PARTY Bat
ties of the Jackson Period" Claude q.
Bowers deals more extensively with
the immediate after effects. General
Eaton, it seems, sought an opportunity
to personally chastise his erstwhile fell
low member of the cabinet, Secretary
Ingham, as he had been especially Bit
ter against Mrs. Eaton. The thorough
ly frightened secretary was driven TO
entering his house by alleys and back
doors. 1t is not generally known that
this same pretty Peggy" at a later
time i'll the Jackson period was in
vOlved in an attempt to persuade the
postmaster general, Kendall, to enter
into a dishonest contract. The reward
for the postmaster would have been a
fine carriage and two prancing horses
from Mrs. Eaton.

Measuring Temperature,

Electric pyrometry, as the measure
ment of temperature by electric means
is called, has been so far per-
fected that 1t is applicable from near
the absolute zerO-about 400 degrees
Fahrenheit below the ordinary zero
to the temperature of melting
platinum, more than 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit above zero. There are
two methods of measuring tempera-
ture by electrical means, one depend
ing upon the increase of electric re-
sistance of pure metal with increase
of temperature and the other on the
production of an electrOmotive force
in a circuit of two metals where one
junction is kept at constant temper
ature and the other is heated to the
temperature which it is desired to
measure. Many electric promoters
give a continuous record OF the tenn
