Druggist OMENS IN BASEBALL A Manager's Method of Turning a 8u peratitlon to Account. Writing on baseball matters in the New York Tribune. John J. McUraw bas tbis to say about the superstitions of the players: '.'I recognize tbe superstitious of ball players. For example, back in 1004, when Bowerman was with tbe team, be came to me one day and said: "'As I came In today 1 saw a team of white horses driving past tbe Polo grounds. That's a good sign. Watch me kill tbe ball this afternoon.' "He did. Tbe belief In his supersti tion bad given him confidence. .Bow erman spread the tidings of tbe white horses around the clubhouse. Tbe next day somebody else saw the white horses, so the day after. By the end of the week the entire team was bit ting like a bouse on Are. Tbey all be lieved In tbe superstition, and it gave them confidence. One day my short stop, Dahlen, remarked: "'Funny those white horses always happen to drive past the ball pnrk Just when we are coming into the clubhouse. It's certainly lucky.' "I heard him and couldn't keep buck a amlle. On the day Bowerman told me be bad seen tbe horses 1 made up my mind Jbat everybody else would see tbem as long as it helped their i batting. So I engaged a man to drive past the Polo grounds every day. That Is a fact, and it shows tbe lengths to which a manager wilt go to cater to ball players' superstitions."

Tha creat Erurlish chemist Dalton waa a schoolteacher. He worked with out a laboratory and with crude ap- naratus. mostly made by himself from slmrjle materials. Here Is an example described in his own words: "Took an ale glass of a conical fig ure, two and a half inches in diameter . .. . 11 J. nrl.h ana tnree jm.ii us ueew ih " water that bad been standing in tbe mom and conseauentiy of tbe tempera ture of the air nearly; put the bulb of the thermometer to the bottom of tbe Elass. the scale being out of tne water. Then, having marked the temperature, I nut the redhot tip of the poker half an Inch deep In the water, holding It there steadily for half a minute, and as soon as it was withdrawn I dipped the bulb of- a sensible thermometer into the water, whea it rose in a few seconds to 180 degrees." He then determined the temperature of tbe water at tbe bottom after five minutes, after twenty minutes and alt er an hour and found that it rose grad nnllv from 47 to 52 degrees. This Sim- plo experiment proved that water has the power to conduct heat, which had been denied by no less an B.uiuomjr than Bnmford. louth's Companion. ' Th r.itnieiantloua Chines Child. One of our missionaries, writing of a little girl In the school under ber care, says: "Last night Wan Noo told me she wanted to be 'a whole Chris tian as she called it . Bo we had a long talk and tried to think; of nil tbe wrong wa bad done that day and con fess it to each other. She counted these wrongs on her fingers: 'I did not brush my teeth as yon told me to do; I did not take off tbe lower sheet on the bed when I made it up, and 1 know I oueht to always: I got angry with one of the girls at school; I did not use) my soap when I took my bath; I did not try to do my example in multiplication; all the other girls did theirs wrong, so I thought I would too.'
