The pilot of the Mountaineers has put a real ball club on the field this year, and the Lookouts are battling it out with the first division clubs for early leadership of the league.
 Unless it continues to rain as it did Tuesday afternoon. the Lookout Baron game will not suffer. Tuesday night indications were that a pretty day for baseball would be afforded Wednesday for the opening game of the Chattanooga Birmingham series.
 Earl Whtehill will probably draw the opening assignment against the Lookouts. 1t was Whitey's turn to pitch Tuesday, and it is likely that Joe Dunn will send him to the mound in the opener against the Lookouts.
 Only two other Southern league teams have yet to show at Rickwood this year. They are Chattanooga and Atlanta, and the Lookouts will be seen in action today,
 It is q reorganized Lookout team that will open against the Barons, if early season games stand for any thing, and it seems that Strang Nicklin has at last decided to give his folks a winning ball club.

about 6,400 feet deep. 1t has been
suggested many times that shaft
five miles, or even 10 or II miles, in
depth, might be sunk in the inter-
ests of science. But with the most
improved machinery it would take
25 years to sink a shaft 10 miles
deep Such shaft, moreover,
would only give information con-
cerning the percentage of radium at
that particular point. 1t would give
interesting data concerning the
earth's structure and internal tenn
perature, but many difficulties
would have to be overcome. Ven
tilation would be difficult; and the
temperature of the air at the bot
tom of the shaft due to compression
alone would be raised higher than
that Of boiling water.
Rutherford calculates that the
heat loss of the earth would be
fully balanced by the heat gain re-
sulting from the disintegration of
radium if there is as little as one
ton of radium for every 10000, ,000,-

nelsville home.
The other children of Seth An
drews were Frank, Anna and Hat
tie. Frank is at Jeffersonville, Ind,
Anna died few years ago, and Hat
tie is at wellington, Kan. Her
husband, Mr.. Newberry, was an
Ohio man and they moved to Ne
braska. He was quite prominent in
politics, a successful rancher, but is
now a minister of the Gospel.
And now, dear reader, were we
to close this narrative without allud-
ing to- or paying a tribute of respect
to the memory of the father of this
talented family, this would surely
be very incomplete, because he was
certainly a remarkable man.
Seth Andrews whose wife was
Elvira Thorla, when young man
owned a farm a short distance east
of Meigs, near what is known as
the King farm. His great ambition
was to give his family good edu-
cation, and for this reason later on
he moved to McConnelsville. He
then moved to Salem, Ind, lived
there several years and then moved
to Marietta. While there his
younger son Frank graduated in
the college and the two younger
girls were in high school. He then
moved back to Indiana and lived
there until the death of his wife
A few years later he drifted back to
Morgan county and married Mrs
Anna Beard, and they lived on lit
tie farm now occupied by Mrs. Cas-
sic Whitehouse in Bristol township,
near his old home. Here he re-
mained until his death, and he was
buried in the cemetery at the church
of his choice, the Meigs Christian
church. This was perhaps nearly
thirty years ago.
A very marked characteristic of
Seth Andrews was his strict adher-
ence to his religious principles, and
honesty toward his fellowmen. If
ever man came nearer living his
religion than Seth Andrews did, we
have failed to discover him. We
do not know what modestly marks
his last resting place,-marble or
granite, but we do know that the in
fuence of such lives as his, for time
and eternity, is not to be compared
to adamant. And the day of epi-
taphs, seems that's gone perhaps
tits well,-but were it ours to place
one there, these few words, deep
chiseled words, -sufficeth all, -
Here lies an honest man.
