The third pitcher of the day
to win his second game this sea-

Pirates, who held the Cubs to
four hits and beat them 8 to 1.

TT is we'll known fact that water
in the act of freezing expands. con.
siderably, and with a force that IS
irresistible. 1t is the freezing Of water
in their crevices and pores that causes
the rocks to be gradually worn down
and "weathered," as it is called, into
soil. 1t is this also which is continu-
ally reducing the soil to finer frag-
ments, breaks up hard clogs and mel
lows the ground.
Autumn plowing or spading assists
this effect by breaking up the COM
pact soil into Jumps, which are further
broken into small particles. AS water
and air can act only upon the surface
Of these particles, it is clear that the
smaller they are the more suface is
exposed to the weather, and the soil
is made soluble.
If block of hard soil of IL cubic
inches is exposed to the weather, 834
square inches only are affected; If it
is broken up into cubes Of one inch,
however, 10.36S square inches are ex.
posed to these beneficial influences,
and the amount affected increased as
the soil is further broken UP.
This fact shows how greatly the
effect Of frost benefits the soil, and,
therefore. how necessary It Is that
the land should be Fall plowed and
given for this beneficial
action OF the weather.

The upshot was that they decided to

What with finding guides and supplies
and carriers and so forth, everybody
for miles around soon knew that a
secret surprise attack was going to be
made on Babban Kurmi at a little be-
fore dawn .on the following Saturday
morning. The Babban Kurmians
knew it as soon as anybody. because
all the villagers went out privately
and told them.
Tho attacking force arrived before
the rohber town at about IL o'clock in
the morning.
Being new to the job, they had not
taken the precaution OF roping the
guides to prevent them from straying.
and therefore they were not available

into a line, took post himself well in

up to where the path from the jungle

was not sign of the Babban kur-

blank wall of huge trees laced together
with creepers and underground and
foot-wide winding rut that was the
path going into it.
The advance in line inevitably be-
came an advance in single file directly
it reached the wall of the jungle, with
the young cavalry officer in front and
the commissioner bringing up the rear.
