For eons ;Nti the tendency of roang man eeeitng higher education ui been toward U and medicine Schools of (bcee profession bare In creased In number and tee fields oi occupation have become more over- crowded, say the Omaha Bee. Cer tain new tendencies In Industry and the science of treating human Ills are at work which suggest the possibility of a change In the drift of the educa tional current Public and private en terprise are enlisted In a movement to work out new cures for old desease and Improve sanitation throughout the country. Vast progress has been, and more will be. made. Along with this, though distinctly apart from It, foes the effort of the government and private capital to harness nature for the needs of Industry; to open up lrri gatlon and water-power plants for ag ricultural and Industrial purposes. The New York Times Invites to the new fields of scientific service the attention of young men contemplating finished educations. They are, undoubtedly, prolific of opportunities. What will the effect be In these two channels? Will the current be diverted from law and medicine to that of technical or sani tary engineering? How rapidly the aeroplane Is becom ing practically useful Is shown by the plan of the English postofflce depart ment to Install Immediately an aerial post between London and Windsor and the report that the French postal officials intend to employ the hydro aeroplane for delivering mall from in coming steamships, says the Chicago Hecord-Herald. Not more than two years ago men of affairs and scientists Baw little possibility of the heavier-than-alr machines becoming more than a means of sport' There seems not much to be gained in time in send ing letters by aeroplane between Lon don and Windsor, but the experiment will doubtless lead to the establish ment of other lines if successful. The distance is only 21 miles, and it la expected that the trip will take about half an hour. A railway express train could travel as quickly. As regards the transfer of mall rrom steamships, there accm greater possibilities; sev eral hours may be gained. An entirely unromantlc Austrian count, who has lived in New York some years concealing his title and earning his bread, has Just found It necessary In getting a marriage li cense to reveal his secret He came to America to escape the dull conven tions Imposed by his rank at home, and is so well content with social freedom that ho will never return to Austria. This is not the kind of no bleman that marries an American heiress In a church decorated with 110,000 worth of roses, but he will make no worse American citizen on that account. Persons who grow vastly discontent ed with their lot If they are not pro moted or otherwise elevated In power and remuneration every year or two may be Interested In tho announce ment that Principal Charles F.

If the scribes and fans only knew jow little "Big Six" cared or thought of this "all-in" stuff, they would save their sympathy for Mathewson. On the way to a recent game a bug recog nized Matty, and his attitude and ex pression seemed to convey sympathy for the great hurler, who, he thought, was on the backward trail. The bug pulled a hunch of clippings from his pocket and handed them to SMITH ON YOUNG CATCHERS Would Have Law Enacted Permitting Hunting of Them in Sea eon. Like Wild Game. "Young catchers are great Btuff," says Frank Smith, now with Cincin nati. "The more I see of them the more I wish that the laws permitted the hunting of them, in season, same as partridges or snipe. Over in Bos ton they assigned a kid catcher to backstop me. Pretty soon there was a runner on first, and this boy slg nailed me for three successive pitch outs. I pent three wild ones, the run ner never moving, and then settled myself to get them over, when that kid signalled for a fourth pltohout. I walked over to him. 'Kid.' said I. 'you are signalling for a base on balls. Ixst your nerve or lost your mem ory?' Tho boy had lost all track of the number of balls 1 had thrown to him."

Matty read the Btuff carefully and then asked; "Where did you find this?" "In the New York Oamptararum." "Yes?" replied Matty. "Of what year?" STOME DLM0M) The slump of the Pirates has peeved Fred Clarke very much. Jim Delehanty of the Tigers has had the best season of his career at bat Bob Harmon of the Cardinals is the life-saver of the Cardinals, as Mor decal Brown is for the Cubs. Roger Bresnahan says that he does not know whether he will be at the head of the Cardinals next year. Roger Bresnahan predicts that Harmon of the Cardinals will be the best pitcher in the game next year. According to some one who has kept count, the Cubs have been ousted out of first place 10 distinct times this sea son. President Ban Johnson of the Amer ican league denies the lively ball of the early season has been replaced by a deader ball. Nap Rucker used to be a type stick er in Alpharetta.

Caee of Naal Ball, Who Performed Re markable Feat of Triple Play Un assisted, la Cited as On Instance. There la a risk ebuui doing the sen sational In baseball. Though it la tha proper aim of every player Id the game to do the unusual and remarkable, enough deadly in stances could ba furnished of notable achievement followed by oblivion to make the diamond workmen strive to keep out of the limelight all the time. A case Is furnished in Neal Ball. Ball was idolised, but be did not last 1 It is only a couple of years ago since I Ball was the principal figure In a re- markable celebration on the Cleveland j grounds. I He had performed the remarkable ! feat of making a triple play unassist ed. The town turned out to do him honor. A medal was presented to the shortstop on a day set apart as "Neal Ball day." In the world's series of 1906 the White Sox won because at timely stages Third Baseman Rohe, playing as a substitute for Tannehlll, let loose two triples. Chicago hailed Rohe as one of the great men of baseball, but a year later found him playing third base on the New Orleans team In the Southern league. Bill Harris of Boston had the honor of pitching twenty-four Innings, the longest contest In the history of base ball, in the memorable game in which Jack Coombs beat Boston in 1906. Bill looked like another phenom to take the place of Dineen, whom he some what resembled in appearance and movements. But the twenty-four-in ning game waB the last Important piece of work to the credit Of Harris, and he shot back to the minors the next year. Babe Adams climbed the very sum mit of baseball fame when he took three games from Detroit in 1909 and won the world's championship for the Pirates. But Babe was far from being a notable performer last season. Covaleskie was another man who had a great fall. The big Pole, who had been signed by the Phillies in 1907, only pitched a game or two and was sent back to Lancaster to get a little more experience. He came to the Phillies at the end of the year while New York was making its ter rific battle for the National league pennant. The large number of games the Phillies had to play the Glints in the closing days of the session put them in a position to decide whether or not the pennant should go to New York. After Corrldon and McQuillan had mysteriously falied to show their usual effectiveness against New York; Covaleskie was tried on a chance. He pitched amazing ball and beat the GlRnts three times in a series, thereby putting them out of the race. ODDITY IN BASEBALL SHIFTS Germany 6chaefer and Jim Delehanty Traded Jobs as Second Base men Now Play First. Crack first basemen are mighty scarce, so scarce In fact that two clubs played second basemen on the Initial sacks during the greater part of the season. Peculiarly, the two second basemen thus transferred figured In a deal two years ago. Jim Delehanty being traded by Washington to De troit for Germany 8ehaefer and Red Kllllfer. Now Germany Is playing tho first cushion for the Nationals, while Qermany Soheefer. Del took Gainer s place for the Tlgera. Other men In the big leagues play ing first that started eleawhera are George Stovall of the Napa. Frank Cbanea of the Cuba, Fred Tannay "of the Boston Rustlers, and Jake Daubert of the Brooklyna.

(By H. T. GRIN8TEAD) The evaporator Is the best for a number of reasons, but where one must dry by the sun there Is yet a much better way than spreading out one the house roof or a scaffold of boards. Loss and labor may be saved by having wire bottom trays two feet wide and two or three feet long. These trays should bo made reversible, which may be done by having the sides of two pieces of lnch-and-a half timber nailed together with the wire bottom between them. This secures the bottom and makes a tray an Inch and a quarter deep either way It Is turned. Four of these trays will hold as much as any ordinary family would want to put out at one time, and more can be had as needed. The wire cloth for the bottom should be galvanized and what Is Drying Tray. known as No. 2 or No. 3 mesh; that Is, there are two or three wires to the Inch, which is close enough to, hold fruit. The scaffold is made by setting four posts high enough to be out of danger from the poultry. Strips of 1x4 are nailed from one post to the other as high as wanted for the trays to rest on. The end posts should be set two feet or a little more apart, which will be the proper width of the scaffold, putting the other pair of posts as far from these as the length of the scaf fold Is wanted to be. When the trays are placed on these supports the air paBses up through the fruit, drying It much quicker and more uniformly. The greatest convenience In having the trays Is when a shower threatens or to protect the half dried fruit from the night dew. The trays may be quickly taken to shelter without disturbing the fruit. If there should be several days of rainy weather the trays should be stacked one on top of the other In a shed or In the houBe; tho air pass ing between the trays will keep the fruit from souring till again plnced out-of-doors. HOOK IS HANDY FOR PRUNING Its Construction Is Easily Within the Possibilities of Any Blacksmith Has Many Uses. The pruning hook hero Illustrated will be found handy and Its construc tion Is easily within the possibilities of any blacksmith. A piece of or Inch Iron rod Is phajicd ns shown for the handle.

PRACTICE OF HEAVY.PRU.MINQ Much Theorizing Has Been Depe en This tubjact, but Little Knowl edge Has Been Acquired. Much theorizing has been done on pruning, bat comparatively little accn rate knowledge has yet been acquired regarding tha relative merit of the easy-going methods practiced with the so-called "natural" form of top and the more careful and heavier cutting followed in the base form and other repressive systems as practiced on the Pacific coast. Many of the eastern orchardlBts have looked upon heavy pruning aa close akin to murder, and we have as a result a large proportion of leggy and awkward trees In most of the j older apple orchards, the bearing 1 wood on which Is high In the air and inaccessible both at 6praylng time and time of harvest, save a writer In an exchange Such trees require close beading back, and sometimes even need to be "dehorned " Such heading back, which Ehould preferably be done in the spring Just before growth starts, need not be done In a tingle ' year, but whether done In one year or , gradually through a series of yearB. It should not stop short of bringing i the remodeled framework of the tree within convenient reach of the spray nozzle and the light picking ladder. LIGHT LADDER FOR ORCHARD Can Be Made of White Pine and When Placed In Fork of Limb There Is No Danger of Slipping. The Illustration is of a Bafety ladder for the benefit of fruit growers. Take lx3-inch white pine clear of flaws for sides, and 1x3 for steps, as they are better to stand on than rounds; nail blocks for them to reBt on. and to keep it from spreading put a small rod under every third step, or wire will do; double and twlat It.
