RUSIE'S TERRIFIC SPEED. |
fhs Old Pitcher's Fast Balls Terrorized F
the Batters.
In a recent gathering of old ball
players the talk turned on speedy }
pitchers. A veteran fielder, now re- t
tired, who had hatted against nearly t
ail of the noted pitchers in the last "
twenty years, named Amos Rusie a
as the universal standard of speed j:
in shooting the ball across the rub- i
her. He said: I
"Words fail really to describe the f
speed with which Rusie seat the v
ball. He was a man of great width,
great strength and the ability to c
put every ounce of his weight into i
t>ha pitch, t'oupletl with this ne a
had a aet of dazzling wrres which j
ere manufaatured with the same g
effort required to produce the speed. <3
Softie men can throw a straight hall v
with great force, bu* hate to slow e
p in ordwr to develop curves, but \
Rusie drove in a curved ball with all c
of his tremendous power.
"Facing Rusie to a timid man was c
lfke going into battle must be to an i
inexperienced soldier. The distance s
was shorter then. Rusie had the r
whole box to move around in in- ^
stead of being chained to a 6lab, t
and he simply drove the ball at you ^
with the force of a cannon. p
<C1 have stood up to all the great 9
pitchers of nearly twenty years, I ?.
have seen scores of them come and c
go, and none of them inspired the
terror in a batsman's heart that was j,
writ lltoro hv tHp mitrhtv Rlisip. The
Qi was like a white streak tearing I ^
past you without time to balance c
yourself, figura the course of the ?
ball or take aim at it. ?
"The fellows with the wfle curve
mi^ht fool you into Beaching out
and missing them, but you weren't ,
reaching out at Rusie. You simplv
swung at a white streak as it hurled
past, and if you took a full arm
swing the ball was gone and in the ?
catcher's hands before you had half ?
finished the swinging motion. ^
"The convincing proof of Rusie's ^
terrible 6peed was this: If any other
pitcher hit a man the man 6wore, ^
limped a moment and went to first.
If Rusie hit a man the man retired
from the game and sometimes went ^
to the hospital. To b* hit by Rusie ^
! was worse than to have an ordinary
man smash you with a rock/'?Ex- '

Tho Beautiful lala of Zanto. d
Zonte, the earthquake shaken, the i:
"nemorosa Zacvnthus" of Virgil, has c
"been at all times famous as one of S
the loveliest of islands. It divides
with Corfu the distinction of being
the richest and most beautiful of
the Ionian group, and, while the t
evergreen forest on its eastern shore
is the admiration of every traveler, c
the fertility of its vine growing ii
plains has made the little island famous
among the markets of the
wradd. The vine is the dwarf variety
which grows the currant of a
commerce. The growing of this
vine is the chief industry of the island,
but there are also olives in g
great numbers.?London Times. r

"Never, never T j*

ART OF LITHOGRAPHY. j

Drawing on Stone.
Lithograph)*, invented about 120
ears ago, has acquired such imporance
through extensive application
o business needs that a taint of
'commercialism" seems to hang
ibout it in the minds of many peo>le.
And yet, not many years alter
ts discovery by Scnefelder, a nuin>er
of artists showed active apireciation
of the rich possibilities
rhieh it offered them.
Here was a supple medium, not
ailing for a great amount of techlieal
preparation, flexible to the
xtist'6 touch, which it reproduced
rith absolute fidelity ? an "autographic
art," directly expressing inlividual
style and temperament
rithout intervention of any engravr-translator,
a process with a wide
ariety of possible effects such a* no
ither one reproductive art offers.
Crayon, pen, ink, brush and scrapr
can be used on the stone, producng
chalk drawings which may
trike the octave from the lightest,
nost delicate gray to the deepest
(lack of a rich, velvety texture:
ones rubbed in with a sauce of
owdcred crayon; washes don* with
>en and ink; lights brought out by
craping. And all of this to be
trinted in black and white or in
olor, as preferred.
The whole process is based on the I
ack of aflinity between grease and
rater. The eravon or ink used in
[rawing on the stone is of a greasy
omposition, as is also the ink need
or printing. To print, water is
irst applied to the stone, which acepts
it only at the places not drawn
ipon. On the other hand, when ink
s applied to the stone it adheres
nly to the portions actually eorerd
by the design. The result in
Tinting is a faithful facsimile on
iaper of the drawing on 6tone. To
hviate the necessity of handling
he heavy stone, the artist may
iraw upon "transfer paper/' from
rhich the design is then transferred
o the stone.
Of course, despite this wide range
f possibilities, lithography has its
listinct limits to be respected dj
he artist ? its character and its
imitations must be understood bj
tim.
The rich means of expression
lormant in the stone were utilized
n the first half of the nineteenth
entury, particularly ia France.?

"No; turkeze, excuse me.*,
"I say turkwawe."
"Well, let's go tq the iewder and

"Right."
*111 order to settle a wager," said
Iwagger to the jeweler, "would you
lind telling me if the correct promnciation
of the stone in this ring

The jeweler took the ring and eumined
