Confidence and good eye are the prin cipal things a baseball player must possess if be wishes to become a good batter, together with the ability to Judge from the location of the oppos ing fielders where they expect the man at the bat to bit the ball. The man who stands close to the plate while at the bat and bears in mind that every pitcher, no matter who he is or what his' reputation may be, must put the ball over the rubber, can, with prac tice, become a good and, I may say, a dangerous hitter, even If he has not the natural ability of some of the great batter of the past and present, says Roger Bresnahan in the Illus trated Sporting News. One very bad fault many young players bave is the habit of pulling away from the plate, as it is called, when a ball looks as though it might possibly hit the batter. How many times have you seen a man step back from a curved ball which a second after "cut the plate" and was called a strike, much to his discomforture? The remedy for this, I think, is a sim ple one. which can be mastered by any young man possessing ' the neces sary confidence: It is simply to step forward and meet the ball before it crosses the plate. In this way the ball is always in front of the batter, and he Is, so to speak, on top of it before it breaks. Many pitchers have a puzzling drop ball which looks easy and fades away from the bat when you strike at it. On the other hand, many of the best boxmen are now using a rise ball pithced with a side arm motion. A batter has a much better chance to kill either of these balls by stepping into them to the limit of the batter's box as they approach the plate. The same thing applies to balls either on the In side or the outside of the plate. It is much easier to hit the ball by running in on it. By meeting the ball early it can be sent in the direction of the left field. Th old theory that If you wish to strike a ball toward the right field you must strike at it after It has crossed the plate is pretty well exploded. By stepping in and meeting the ball in front of you it is just as easy, if not easier, to drive it toward right field as it is to pull it into left field. A Business View.

Glass has at last been successfully blown by machinery and, as has gen erally been the case when mechanical means supersede hand methods, all feats of hand-blowing have been out done. The secret of the remarkable inven tion Is still hidden, but specimens of the work, done have been shown. Tho cylinders are of immense size, the larg est being thirty inches in diameter and nineteen feet long. The new machine Is the Invention of John A. Lubbers, a glassblower of Al legheny, Pa. It has been; built at the Alexandria, Ind., branch of the Ameri can Window Glass Company's plant. The process of blowing window glass is simple in theory, but difficult in practice. On the end of a long tube a mass of molten glass is collected. This Is' then heated in a furnace and gradually distended by blowing into a large tube with straight sides. To accomplish this without the pecu liar twisting and manipulation employ ed by the human glassblower has puz zled many clever Inventors, and the Lubbers machine was made successful only after a great many experiments. Lubbers has Invented several labor saving devices and this latest triumph is likely to make him many times a millionaire when It Is generally In stalled. . . Skilled mechanics from the Westing house factories in Pittsburg have been working behind barred gates and high walls for months in the erection and installation of the machines, which no man other than old and skilled em ployes of the company was allowed to see. Patents have not yet been granted on certain parts of the machines and therefore the secrecy. So confident is the company of the merits of the machine that it is pre paring to spend thousands of dollars in Its installation In all of the forty one plants controlled by it in various parts of the country. It is expected that the device will do away with hand blowers altogether. So confident are the men that this will bo the case that many are getting out of the business. The better Class of blowers earn from $450 to $600 a month. New York World. Tea in a "Tlese'rvoirV" Here is a good story about a woman of the "new-rich" type who set up a pretentious establishment in New York with the view of gaining an en trance into society. Among her choice possessions was a Russian tea urn wrought in embossed brass. The term for this device Is "samovar," and the woman treated her new urn like a new toy. She gave a reception in or der to exploit her tea device, and her guests were in continued subdued fits of laughter because their hostess said: "I do so love tea out of a reservoir. This reservoir came from Russia. Of course it is really a tea urn, but I prefer the national term, don't you?" New York Press. i A Good Guess.

DO NOT LIKE FOREIGNERS. American Seamen Object to the Petty Officers Placed Over Them. . The great number of desertions in the navy at the present time is appall ing. It is one of the greatest if not the greatest problem with which the navy department has yet had to con tend. During a single month recently there were COO deserters. The reason of this disgrace to the "pride of our country" can be attributed to many causes. Within the past two or three years an experiment has leen made which has, .it seems, proved a complete fail ure. Recruiting stations, in charge of naval officers, have been opened throughout the interior of the country. Here are enlisted men of almost every occupation. When a sufficient number are recruited they are sent in crowds to the different receiving ships on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, where they are again transported to training-ships. On these they are given Ave weeks' training in the rudiments of seaman ship; they are then drafted to regular men-of-war and entered upon the rou tine of the service. Here they become known as "incubator sailors." As a general rule these men have never seen salt water and have less idea of what constitutes a sailor's life than it is possible to imagine. This sudden change of living invariably brings on dissatisfaction. All this, of course, only tends to increase the raw recruits' dissatisfaction. Our navy is by no means free from foreigners it is, in fact, overburdened with them. Many of them, on account of their seamanship, are made petty officers. Thus born and bred Ameri cans are superseded in the service of their own country by foreigners, many of whom can hardly speak the English languid i Though these foreigners aiv always good marines, bein'g for the best part Norwegians and Swedes, they have not the knack of discipline and are intolerable to anyone with Ameri can principles. Again, according to the present system of maintaining the navy, a sailor is never settled that is, he never knows how long he is to re main aboard the vessel on which he is serving. Hence he loses all Interest in his own ship, being constantly thrown among strangers. In spite of the new rations introduced into the service it is not much better off. The men are now, as always, re quired to pay in part for their meals out of their own pockets. The equiv alent to rations served is supposed to be SO cents, in which case the men never receive the benefit of the cheap ness of the market. If all rations were commuted, instead of every fourth one, as at present, which necessitates a landsman, whose pay is only $16 a month, to pay $3 of this amount for his own STibsitence, It would go far to ward relieving the service of one of its worst faults and one that is causing great numbers to desert and return to their homes. Harper's Weekly. About Fishes. Fish are nearly the same weight as the water in which they live, so that they can move in it with great ease. The majority of them also have an air bladder inside of the body, which en ables them to go up or down in the water at will. When a fish desires to go down deep it can press the air out of this bladdrr by means of certain muscles and thus increase the weight of its body, and when it wishes to rise again it takes off the pressure, the bladder fills with air again and its body becomes light enough to rise.
