WASHINGTON NEWS (Continued from first page). “Reference Brown fire; hire.” wire; WHAT IS A GEYSER? Washington, Sept. 28.—Just what a geyser is, and why, and a few oth- er interesting bits of information for these curiosities of nature, is given in a new publication of the interior department. The intermittent spouting of gey- sers was a long riddle to scientific wmen. The theory .is based on the well known fact that the boiling point of water rises with the pres- sure. In a long and narrow or an irregu- lar tube, ebullition in the lower part is only possible at a much higher temperature than at the top, owing to the weight of the water column above it. If by continued heating the lower layer of water attains the temperature at which it can boil, steam is formed, whose expensive force lifts the superincumbent col- umn of water, causing a slight ov- erflow at the top, which shortens the column, so that the steam is formed at a higher point and a further lift- ing and relief of pressure ensues, followed by an eruption. FAMOUS TREE DYING. Washington, Sept. 28.—Old age and decay have caused the passage of one of the stateliest, most digni- fied trees on the White House grounds. To the left of Pennsylva- nia avenue entrance to the White " House and not far from the executive offices, has stood for the past seven- ty-five years a fine old silver maple trees. As far as could be learned it had no distinguished pedigree like some of the trees on the grounds that have been planted by presidents, but has stood through many presi- dential administrations as a distinct ornament to the grounds of the pres- ident’s mansions. Lately it became so feeble that the superintendent of the grounds feared it would fall over and he ordered it cut down. Right next to it is a young oak tree which was planted by President McKinley and also nearby are some Japanese trees. All of these were in daily danger from the old maple, so it had to go. A younger tree may be plant- ed in its place and President Taft may be invited, if he cares to do so, to preside at the planting. REAL FOOTBALL TODAY New York, Sept. 28.—Real foot- ball takes the stage today, with mi- nor contests on many gridirons, east and west, north and south.

Yale and Hcly Cross meet at New Haven, Harvard and Maine at Cambridge, Pennsylvania and Gettysburg at Phi- ladelphia, Cornmell and Colgate at Ithaca, and the Carlisle Indians and Dickinson at Carlisle. Other eastern games of interest in their particular districts are the Darthmouth-Bates battle at Hanover, the game between Amherst and Tufts at Amherst, and the Lafayette-Muh- lenburg affair at Easton. The western mix-ups are the open- ing of the University of Minnesota with the University of South Dakota at Minneapolis, the Indiana Univer- sity game with De Pauw at Bloom- ington, the University of Missouri- Central College game at Columbia, the contest between Ohio University and Kentucky State University at Lexington and the Rose Polytechnic scramble with the alumni at Terre Haute.

Fall Carnival in Omaha. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 28.—Omaha is Morris Rath, Second Baseman of White Sox. - The new crop of ball players in the major leagues, including those who broke in this year or the latter part of last year, is making a pretty re- ppectable showing in fast company, pnd there is a goodly crop of those who are likely to be fixtures, if not plready that. Scouts and managers deplore the great lack of timber in the hushes, and with some of these pewcomers it may be a case of taking them or nothing. Yet the proportion of those who aré sticking and making their presence felt is fairly large. Among this number a prominent one is Dubic, the Detroit pitcher, al- though he had been in the big leagues before and is no tender bud in base- ball society. Another comeback who drifted back to the minors between sojourns in fast company is George McConnell. Likewise Hess. Among the newer crop of pitchers dug up this year or late last year are Bas- kette, Steen, Benz, Hamilton, Allison, two or three Browns, O’Brien, Bedl- ent, Hlouck and Baumgartner in the American league, and Lavender, Tes- reau, Cheney, Rixey, Seaton, Benton, Allen, Robinson, Willis and Yingling in the National. Leading finds in other positions are Foster and Gandil of the Washing- tons, both of whom were in big league company once before and returned to that company greatly improved. Oth- er recent additions to the big league family are Morris Rath of Comiskey’s ‘White Sox, Cady of the Red Sox, Mag- gert of the Athletics, Sterrett of the Highlanders, Shanks of Washington, Peckinpaugh of Cleveland, Weaver of the White Sox,. Kuhn of the White Sox, Egan of the Athletics, Mensor of the Pirates, Groh of the Giants, Cut- shaw of the Brooklyns, Smith of the Brooklyns, Phelan of the Reds, Nor- then of*the Brooklyns, Moran of the Brooklyns and Magee of the Cardi- nals. Most of them are making good. CHALMERS A BIG SURPRISE Philadelphia Pitcher Returns to Win- ning Form After Long Retire- ment Account of Injuries, The surprise of the Giant-Philadel- phia series was that the ome pitcher of the home team who was Eounted upon to do the least got away with a victory. This was George Chalmers. The latter came out of a long retire- ment, due to various injuries, and by a grand exhibition of twirling thrash- ed the New Yorkers. Moore, Alexan- der, Rixey and Seaton all fell down on the job and Dooin was forced to use several young twirlers as rescu- ‘ers. Seaton, however, made good by pitching a shut-out victory. Plrates ‘and Senators Play. A serles of contests may be arrang: ed between the Plrates and the Wash- ington Americans. President Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg received a chal- lenge from Clark Griffith, manager of the Senators, for a post-season series with the Pirates. He has not yvet re- plied, but has taken the matter up with Manager Fred Clarke, who states; that he and his men are willing to| play, if it can be shown that the series will be a paying one.

It was found that the motor lorry in which a London firm of caterers had sent the goods had been completely burned down on the road, and the wedding party accordingly aad to go without. Not a Practical Man. A little lad was found on the street crying very bitterly because his ecart was broken. The kindly disposed stranger endeavored to cheer up the little fellow by saying: “Never mind, my boy; your father can easily mend that.” *‘No he can’t,” sobbed the boy. souri.
