We never see him at the game, not
even in th? bleachers. He stands be
fore a checkered frame with scores of
fellow creatures. He cannot hear the
crack of bat k>r see the rival dingers,
but yet lie visions all of that as on
the curb lie lingers.
He cannot hear the hatters “beef"
or boot in wild derision, nor can tie
raise a cry of “thief" when peeved at
■soilie decision. He cannot watch, witli
features set, Ids diamond gods em
battled'; he cannot start a din to get
the other twlrler rattled.
Hut yet he groans or whoops with
Joy, looks glum or starts to grinning,
when now and then the olliee. boy
chalks up Hie latest inning. The board
dissolves before bis view as do the
si net and alley and fancy speeds him
quickly to that dqar old Rainier val
ley.
lit fancy he is with the birds that
perch upon the railing, with “empties"
and assorted words the robber “umps"
assailing, and though the scoreboard's
patent dope portends a sad disaster,
he sticks around in dogged hope his
heroes yet will master.
Most anyone can be a fan who owns
n season ticket; it takes another sort
of man to be a scoreboard picket. He
swarms around the boards In packs,
lie’s not aloof or clannish. If he were
charged a sidewalk tax hew soon our
debt would vanish.—Carlton Fitchett

Water and Modern Methods Will Make
the Desert of Turkestan Bloom
Like a Garden.
Turkestan is, of course, primarily
agricultural country, and cotton, the
major crop. The other industries still
await development. There is a tre
mendous field for the cultivation of
vineyards and rice and other cereals.
At the same time, the development
of agriculture will gronlly stimulate
the sheep-raising Industry, which is
now in the hands of primitive natives,
uninstructed in modern methods. The
fruit industry awaits the guiding hand
of modern science. With the help of
California specialists, Turkestan could
be transformed into an enormous fruit
garden. There Is nt present only one
factory for fruit preserving. Similar
ly, the fish teeming in the lakes and
rivers need only the Introduction of
modern Industry to place them upon
the food markets of the world. The
silk industry, if properly organized,
would easily become one of tbe most
Important in the world. The mountains
1 of Turkestan are rich in unexploited
I minerals. Gold, iron, copper, coal and
many rare and precious stones and.
metals await the pioneer.
There is an old legend In Turkestan
that the Eden of the first man was
placed in the valley of Ferghana and
that for his sin Allah laid a curse upon
the country and transformed it into
desert. The quickening tou(h of water
restores tlie desert to richness and fer
tility surpassing all legends. Who will
build Eden anew?

Measuring Colors.
An English scientist has, according
to Popular Mechanics Magazine,
worked out a method of taking exact.
measurement of color. Black, white'
and gray are photometrically com- j
pared with standard white, and their
composition expressed jn percentage!
of black or white. A color, such as!
red, is compared with n white surface.
In a pure ml light. If the red ap-1
pears darker, it Is matched with a
gray surface under a red light, the
percentage of black then being the V
same in both. Assigning the number «?♦
25 to red. such a (imposition ns cin- ^
