“How do they know wlial Johnson's got— '
Whether he uses a curve or not—
"Whether his break Is set?
How can they tell how Ids outslioots fall"
Whether his incurve's big or small?
How can they tell what lie's got on the
ball?
Nobody’s seen it yet.”
□> sang a minor poet of the
major leagues.
The hero of this baseball
epic was Walter Johnson,
the marvelous pitcher of
the Washington club, who
, has just beaten all records
by hurling the ball for 56 consecutive
innings with su.ch still and cunning
that not a batsman of an opposing
ciub has been able to score a run.
Speed was the great factor in- the
achievement—dazzling, sizzling speed!
The big Idahoan's delivery is like the
flight of a shell. The mightiest hit
ters of the American league are as
helpless as town lot players when
Johnson turns loose his fastest ball:
“Ty” Cobb. “Home Run" Baker and
Jackson alike are babes in his bands.
Johnson's amazing swiftness in
pitching is no mere fancy. It has
been scientifically measured In the
testing room of tbe Remington Arms
company at Bridgeport. Conn., John
son showed that bis right arm could
burl the baseball at the rate of 122
feet a second! It was acknowledged
that be could, do even better, because
in athletic parlance he was not
warmed up. It is well known that a
hurler gathers speed as a game
progresses.
Johnson flung the sphere through
an aperture In a frame of wood about
two feet square. Running from top
to bottom were ten very delicate and
filmy copper wires. These were
broken by the ball, and by an elec
trical device the moment of passage
was accurately timed. Five yards
away was a steel plate and the im
-pact of the ball on this barrier again
caused the electric clock to register.
Thus the exact time of the ball's flight
was mathematically determined.
The velocity obtained by Johnson
is all the more extraordinary when
it is known that a bullet irom the
new government .45 automatic pistol
travels 800 feet per second. «
. A high power hunting rifle, .35 cali
ber. auto-loading, travels 2,000 feet
per second.
The Twentieth Century limited, the
fastest long-distance train in the
world, makes the 978.7 miles from
New York to Chicago in just 20 hours,
or an average speed of 48.9 miles
every hour. This means a velocity of
nearly 72 feet a second.
Suppose Johnson's speedball kept
on traveling at 122 feet a second right
on toward the Windy City at its own
hurricane speed. It would eat up the
5.163.840 feet to Chicago in just 11
hours and 48 minutes. The ball
wculd beat the train to Chicago by
eight hours and 12 minutes, in other
words, the catcher who received the
ball could go to bed. have a full
night’s rest, get up and into his lini
form again, and be on hand in the
morning to meet the Twentieth Cen
tury as she rolled into Chicago.
Putting it another way—the train
leaves New York at 2:45 p. m. daily.
Tinle is set back at Buffalo by just an
hour, so that the onrushing train
gains 60 minutes- on her westward
journey. Eleven hours and 48 min
utes after the start Johnson's bender
has reached Chicago, or at 1:33 a. m.
Chicago time, the roaring locomotive
has just plunged through Cleveland
without stopping, more than 350 miles
away.
The striking energy of Johnson's
missile was shown to be 160 foot
pounds. That means that it possessed
approximately half the force in im
pact of a bullet fired from a .45 auto
matic pistol!
According to these figures, it takes
less than half a second for a ball
thrown by Johnson at his high speed
to travel from his fingers to catcher's
glove!
That is why he bewilders even the
quickest witted batsman He isn’t
able to guess .whether it is a straight
ball, an in or an out curve, a drop, or
whether the sphere is going to jump
up into the air in defiance of the law
of gravity.
"Any time you get a hit off John
son," declared Napoleon Lajoie, him
self one of the most formidable wield
ers of the bat that the game ever
knew! "you must not think that you're
smart. Just figure that you’re lucky
—lucky that you were able to make
that blind swing at just the right spot.
There never was. and I doubt if there
ever will be. a pitcher as great as
Johnson. If he turned loose his very
hardest throw with his best curve on
it no catcher could get down in time
to receive the ball.
"Every ball be throws has stuff on
it that can’t be solved. Some of the
hops that his swiftest ones take are
bigger curves than a man ever threw
before. I’ve seen him slam balls up
to the plate that didn’t look larger
than a pinhead.”
Not'surprising, is it, that Johnson
is such a terror?
The quiet, modest young Idaho
youth—he is only twenty-five years
old—also fooled his opponents into
giving him another record. Last year
he struck out 303 men in 386 innings.
None of the other wizards could touch
that mark. Before he became a big
leaguer striking out batsmen was
merely a pastime for him. Out in
Weiser, when only nineteen, he was
playing in the Idaho Statp league,
and among the performances credited
to him was the striking out of the
first eight men who faced him In an
important game, and he later struck
out 11 other men during the nine
innings.
And these men were all crack play-,
ers, many of whom are now stars in
the western leagues. In that Idaho
season Johnson was the slab artist in
fifty-seven straight games in whicfi
not a run was scored off his delivery.
So you see he got the habit early!
After that feat Johnson applied to
various smart managers of the clubs
in the big cities. But they wouldn't
even give him a trial. They were dis
dainful, and easily declared that John
son would be shattered by the heavy
artillery of the major leagues. It re
mained for the then tail-ender Wash
ington team to send Catcher Blenken
ship in 1907 out to Weiser to investi
gate the picturesque stories that came
east of the youth’s prowess. The
scout lost no time in getting Johnson
to sign a contract as soon as he had
seen him pitch a few innings. That
Washington is now one of the lead
ing clubs of the American league is
due in large part to the skill of the j
western recruit.
When Johnson made good from the
jump there was woe among all the
Napoleonic managers w-ho had turned
him down. But his steady and aston
ishing improvement is shown by the
following official table: '

A big. likable fellow is Johnson, a
raw-boned product of the prairie
farms. There is nothing very speedy
about him except his pitching. Other
wise he is slow- as law. He moves !
slow, eats slow and even runs his j
motor car in an "out-of-gasoline man
ner." He saves ail his energy for the |
diamond.
After seeing Johnson shoot the ball j
at the plate you wouldn't wonder the *
poet was inspired to song. You j
wouldn't wonder at the dazed bats- ;
men.
If you can't see it you can't hit it.

UNUSUAL FEATS OF MEMORY
Thomas Babington Macaulay, Histo
rian. Among Those Who Could
Repeat Whole Books.
Oae of the most astonishing mne
monic feats on record is recorded by
IJotHi Wesley. '1 knew a man about
20 years ago." writes Wesley, "who
was so thoroughly acquainted with
the Bible that if be was questioned
as to any Hebrew word in the old,
or any Greek word in the New Testa
ment, he would tell, after a little
pause, not only how often the one or
the other occurred in the Bible, but
also what It meant in every place.
His name was Thomas Walsh. Such
a master of Bible knowledge I never
saw before, and never expect to see
again.” Walsh £ad a close rival in
Macaulay, who, according to James
Stephen, could repeat ”all Demosthe
nes by heart, and all Milton, as well
as a great part of the Bible."
A strange instance of freak memory
is recorded in the case of a servant
girl in a Scottish manse. She was
almost illiterate, yet when delirious
in lever, surprised those around her
by repeating long passages of the
Bible In Hebrew. The kitchen where
the girl spent her evenings adjoined
the minister's study. He was ac
customed to read aloud. The’girl had
not understood or consciously taken
heed of the reading, yet her mintj had
seized upon and stored the phrases.
Men admire women who are perfect
ly square, but not too angular.

went to Squash to leeture in Temper
ance hall, arriving in the afternoon.
The town seemed poorly billed. I
thought I'd find out if the people
knew anything at all about what was
in store for them. So I turned in
at the general store. ‘Good afternoon,
friend.’ I said to the general store-j
keeper. ‘Any entertainment here to-;
night to help a stranger while away
the evening?' The general storekeep

ened up. wiped his briny hands on
his apron and said: ‘I expect there’s

HANDLING COLTS DURING HOT WEATHER
A Promising Youngster.
(By J. M. BE LI,.)
Try to be patient with your colt, Mr.
Farmer. Remember that he is green
—yes, as green as the grass he eats
so peacefully when you turn him out
to graze, and the harness no longer
chafes his soft young body.
All farmers know that a four-year
colt will stand more than a three-year
old. Bone and muscle are better ma
tured and generally of better size;
therefore, he is better able to stand a
day’s work. But when it comes to
that no green, unbroken colt should be
expected to do a full day's work in the
team of well seasoned farm or road
horses.
So many good colts have been aged
and made dull by this foolish habit
of letting them run absolutely unbrok
en into the spring when they are three
or four years old. and then catching
them and putting them at hard, steady
work just as the busy season comes
on, when time is precious, when the
A Vigorous, Wefl-Deveioped One-Year
Old Colt—A Good Example for the
General Farmer to Raise.
crops need work, when the flies are
rampant, and when neither the mas
ter's nor the colt's tempers are at
their best.
Imagine a farmer starting out to
mow hay with a green or half-broken
colt hitched alongside of a mule or a
steady farm horse to a mowing ma
chine, double row cultivator, corn
planter, plow or barrow!
All implements need a steady, well
broken team and the same time a good
driver, who in order to do his best
work, has little time for else than
quietly handling his team and imple
ment at one and the same time.
This man will not get much satis
faction out of a day's work if he has
to worry with a green, restive colt,
who, chafing at the unexpected misery
of heavy work in hot weather, starts
up a little too soon or not soon
enough, protests at having to walk in
a straight line af a slow gait, etc.
It is not possible that he will balk,
kick or rear upon what might be con
sidered a very slight provocation, or
no provocation at all to a broken mid
dle-aged farm horse.
In that section of Virginia known as
"Tha Valley,” famous for its notably j
heavy draft horses, and their rule is j
to break these big colts at two years
old, never working them over half a
day at a time, and beginning the pro
cess in the late winter and early
spring.
The first work to a wagon in a
steady team and with a quiet teamster,
generally a white man wrho is used to
the daily handling of horses.
The writer visited that section re
cently and while the quest of a well
known horse breeder, saw four full
blooded Percherons working to a ma
nure spreader, a nine-year-old mare
under the saddle, a three-year-old stal
lion in the off lead and a young mare
under the line.
The average weight of these splen
did hottees was about 1,800 pounds
each, but the remarkable part of the
business was that these two young,
vigorous stallions were working quiet
ly with mares. Their teamster had
them under perfect control, but they
had been worked the same as the
two-year-olds, and had become used
to farm labor by degrees.
Of course advice iB cheap and farm
ers get lots of it, and in the matter of
working colts and green horses in the
summer time they have heard it all—
fitting on the harness, scraping the col- |
lars at night, washing off the shoul- j
I ders, and sparing the lash.
I have only to say this, and I speak :
from experience: if the farmer does
not go easy with the three and four- |
year-olds at this season they will be i
j old and sluggish before their time.
ERADICATION OF
MORNING GLORIES
Cutting Tops Does Little Good
and Plow Serves to Spread
the Roots.
On our lowland farms we find four
varieties of morning glories. The
field morning glory resembles the cult
tivated kind, and unlike the bind-weed,
g-ows only from the seed, so the only
remedy is to prevent the seeding.
The field bind-weed is a morning
glory with small flowers and vine-like
stems that er.twine closely about any
thing they reach.
The numerous roots send out plants
from every’ eye. These roots being,
spread by the plow or cultivator, form
new plants, until in a short time the
corn field is completely covered.
They start so /early in the spring
that before the corn is large enougu
to cultivate the rows are so hidden
that they must be cleaned out with a
hoe before cultivation is begun.
Another variety called hedge bind
weed, pea vine, morning glory has
large funnel-shaped flowers and a
more slender vine than the other va
rieties.
In the central states we find still
another of the prolific pests. This is
the wild sweet-potato or man-of-the
oarth vine. Its roots resemble in shape
the cultivated sweet potato, but are
much longer and penetrate far below
th'. plowing depths.
Cutting the tops does little good, and
cutting the roots only multiplies the
number of vines, as all piecus of roots
grow- the same as the edible sweet po
tato.
The plow only serves as a means of
spreading and transplanting the pieces
of roots which grow new plants. Cov
ering with salt or injecting sulphuric
acid into the roots are as effective as
any remedy for the weed, which, for
tnnately, is not so common as the oth
er varieties of the morning glory.
Hogs are very fond of the roots,
and are a great help In clearing up
badly infested ground. Plowing dur
ing July and August prevents the
plants from growing again in the same
season, and will make them much less
plentiful next year.
Lambs also like the vines wonder
fully well, and few will be left In the
fall If they are turned on before the
bind weeds go to seed.
Our experience with bind weeds is
that spring plowing and persistent use j
of the cultivator only serve to spread j
the roots over greater areas.
The lowlands where the bind-wed
nourishes are also suitable for alfalfa.
We find that between the cuttings of
alfalfa the bind-weed has no opportu
nity to seed, and in a few years a
plant can hardly be found in an alfalfa
field.
The bind weed, when once establish
ed in a field, is there to stay or put
up a strenuous fight, and no half-way
methods will accomplish anything in
the way of getting rid of this pest.
When plowing or cultivating through
small spots of morning glory, it pays
to clean the plow or cultivator of all
roots to prevent the spreading of the
growth of new plants.
The use of the disk harrows and
disk cultivators will help to prevent
the spread of this pest. j
CHECK ROW CORN
PLANTER ESSENTIAL
» _
If Seed Is Substantially Same
Size Machine Will Drop Same
Number of Kernels.
(By WALTER B. LEUTZ.)
On all farms where the fields are of
sufficient size the check row corn
planter is almost a necessity. If the
seed is substantially of the same size
and shape the machine will drop pre
cisely the same number of kernels to
the hill. If on the other hand, the
grain from the tips and butts of the
ears is included the number of kernels
in the hill will vary considerable.
The distance between the hills and
the number of plants to the hill will
vary more or less according to the va
riety that is planted and the climate
of (he locality in which the field is
filing planted.
Under ordinary conditions I believe
in planting four kernels to the hill
and planting the hills about three
feet six inches apart-both ways. As
a general rule nothing is gained by
planting the field until the cold spring
rains are over. None but good seed
that possesses a strong germinating
power should be planted.
Increases Purchasing Power.
Intelligence in buying dairy feeds in
creases the purchasing power of the
dollar.
Helps for Peas and Beans.
Peas and beans are checked in their
early growth when grown on soils de
ficient in nitrogen, and are benefited
by the applications of nitrogenous fer
tilisers. Sodium nitrate is better
adapted to top-dressing than ammon
ium sulphate on account of its quick
action. Sodium nitrate is easily wash
ed into the subsoil, whereas the am
monium sulphate iB more firmly held
in the soil. The continued application
of sodium nitrate tends to form crusts
on the soil.
Improving Lettuce.
Some gardeners greatly improve
their lettuce, Swiss chard and spin
ach by growing them under a can
opy of cheese cloth, held about five
feet above the ground by stakes or
a light frame.
Diseases of Beans.
The diseases of beans and tomatoes
may be held In check by spraying
with fungicides. Those of egg plants
and encumbers are more difficult to
control.
CITY OFJBK'
Scenes on the Banks of the Sa
cred Ganges.
Withers in the River—The Devotion
ef the Hindus—The Regeneration
of India—Religious Ideas
Along Waterway.
London.—At Benares you realize
that Hinduism is a living thing, and
It presents itself with a beauty and
pathos which are astonishing to the
visitor who has thought of it only as
antiquated idolatry.
Just now the Ganges is low, and
the long flights of steps, the ghats, are
bare almost to the bottom, but in the
ruined colonnades and embankments
and a temple actually slidden into the
water the power and ravages of the
river in flod are seen. We embark on
a miniature boathouse, and seat our
selves on the roof; and we are slowly
rowed up the stream, as far as the
tree-covered terrace where Warren
Hastings took refuge from the out
raged people of the city; then down
the stream to the mosque with its tall
minarets which Aurungzeb erected to
flout the Hindus and rebuke their
idolatry. But neither Warren Hast
ings nor Aurungzeb. neither Moslem
nor Christian, neither east nor west,
has made any appreciable change in
the customs, the rites, the religious
ideas which find their picturesque ex
pression in that mile or more of river
front.
The bank is steep and rises to the
height of 200 feet. On it rise temples,
with their carved sikras and gilded
summits. Jumbled together with pal
aces, flat roofed, piled high on solid
and imposing battlements, and a med
ley of steps and terraces, and gate
ways, through which the river is
reached from the city. The buildings
are yellow, or terra cotta colored,
gilded, and otherwise, so that the ef
fect is hardly less beautiful than that
of the Grand canal. Sacred bulls are
tethered in many places, to which the
people salaam. Everywhere are the
gay colors In which India delights.
Garments of bright orange, blue, mag
enta. iris colors, and dazzling white
make the whole scene brilliant in the
morning" sun.

Mosque on Banks of the Ganges.
Here a long row of women with a man j
or two crouches on the very brink; I
and a Brahmin priest, naked hut for a |
loin cloth, passes from one to another j
and gives them the sacred mark. They ;
put the water of the river on his feet j
and kiss them; then they drink the
water which has touched him from
their hands. One woman rises up,
her arms straight above her head, and
makes obeisance. The priest gives
them some directions—mutters his
mantras—and waves his hands in to
ken of dismissal.
Though it is not easy to distinguish ;
:he ordinary washing and bathing
! from the sacred function, there is
enough of the manifested act of wor
ship to give to the scene an air of
solemnity. Men and women are mix
ed, but no one regards any one else.
Each is engaged in his own ablution,
physical or spiritual. Here a woman
crouches, splashing the water on her
face and making mystical marks on
forehead and breast. Here a man
stands in the water, revolving and
folding his hands together each time
in his revolution as he faces the sun.
Here !b another ma# in a red cloak
standing up to his waist and mutter
ing with a whirring sound. There he
stands daily from 3 a. m. to noon,
and has done so for nine years. His
eyes are bleared with the Bun. all ex
pression has left his face. He is like
a mechanism of devotion.
In another place young men, mut
tering their prayers, plunge into the
stream and return to their little
matted platforms. There must be
three dips to accomplish the necessary
pnrgation. As the bathers return
through the narrow street they shrink
from contact with the passerby, for if
they touch they must return and re
peat the*r washing.
