On the con trary the realm of poetry Is as wide as the world, for the very-reaBon that each man may find there Just what he needs and leave the rest. The thing Is to discover the poetry that was meant for us, and perhaps the best way to do that is to turn over the pages of some well-made selection, and see where our eyes get caught and held.

A student of Erfurt, desiring to see Nuremberg, departed with a friend on a Journey thither. Before they had walked half a mile, he asked his com panion whether they should soon get to Nuremberg, and was answered: " 'Tis scarce likely, since we have only Just left Erfurt."

Really Ingenious Device That Seems to Have Practical Points Elec tricity Is the Motive Power of the "Players." A machine for practicing baseball. devised by an Ohio inventor, has two life-size figures that take the part of batter and catcher. An electric motor puts "life" into their movements. Rods, levers, Joints and springs contained within the bodies of the dummies cause them to maintain automatically The Baseball-Playing Dummies and the Mechanism That Makes Them Work. their end of the game as batter and catcher. Here is how it is done: In the abdomen of the catcher dum my is a plate which when hit by the baseball thrown by the player who is practicing closes an electric circuit and causes a bell or buzzer 4o ring. The catcher's arms and hands are mounted to move in and out on a hori zontal plane. The batter, on the other hand, moves his bat up and down. To practice with this machine you take a position about sixty feet from the dummy batter and throw at his bat, which extends over the home plate; if the bat is hit, you can Jot down one on the score card. Or, land the ball in the abdomen of the catcher, hit the registering plate and ring the electrio bell, and a strike is credited you. If the ball hits the batter or catcher elsewhere than Intended, a foul is counted. The inventor insists that the dum mies are not unlike natural persons in performing their functions, although some players might not approve of the mode of "catching" the ball de scribed. Rostand on the War. In a delightful corner of the Pyre nees a number of temporary hospitals have been established. Quite often a certain visitor of note comes to these little hospitals, bringing to the wound ed some small comforts, among which are tobacco, cigarettes and chocolate. He is clothed as a common soldier, al though he wears hanging from his neck the cross of a commander of the Legion of Honor. This is Monsieur Edmond Rostand, poet and playwright, the hermit of Cambo, who thus pre fers the uniform of an Infantryman to the flannel Jacket of the mountain proprietor or even the green coat of an "Immortai." Not all of his "clients" know who Is this distinguished visitor. One of them describes him as "a man who has not much hair on his head and writes pieces." M. Rostand has become fat.

"Spooning" in the public play grounds of Pittsburgh is to end If plans of W. F. Ashe, superintendent of the new city bureau of recreation are put through. Instead, dances under proper supervision and other healthful social activities will be carried out. "What is understood as spooning," Mr. Ashe says, "is Justifiable only when it is the expression of the love of a man for the woman who is to become his wife or the woman for the man who is to become her husband. In young boys and girls it should be discouraged. We shall have choral so cieties for the boys and girls. Danc ing and music will provide the sub stitute for spooning." Mall From a Shipwreck. Echoes of the tragic fate of the Em press of Ireland still come over the waters. For example, a lady who was at the time visiting in Canada wrote to her sister In England. The letter never arrived, but the sister came back In due course. And now. all nn- expectedly, her missive has been de livered, stamped with the words: "Re covered by divers from the wreck of the Empress of Ireland." It speaks well for the quality of the mall bags when one says that the letter shows scarcely any trace of Its eight months' Immersion in the bed of the St Law rence. Pall Mall Gazette. With Precaution Lacking. The Chicago bureau of safety tells how men blasting a stump broke a charged light wire on a pole. The wire fell to the ground.

"Safety first" requires that thought ful precautions should be takes to avoid such fatalities. HAIN'T GEORGE WASHINGTON Apocryphal Story Told of Col. George Harvey Not Remembered as Peacham Boy.
