Puzzle for Scientists to Worry Over Articles Dropped in Calumet Nine Shaft Always Found Clinging to East Side Invest- igation Going On. It Is an Interesting scientific fact, tad one not generally known, that nothing that falls from the mouth of tbs deepest mining shaft In the world ever reaches the bottom. This has demonstrated at the famous Red Jacket shaft of the Big Calumet. The article, no matter what shape or size It may be, la invariably found clinging 4 to the east side of the shaft One day a monkey wrench was dropped, but It did not get to the bottom. It was found lodged against the east side of the shaft several hundred feet down. This Incident coming to the attention of the Michigan College of Mines, it was decided to make a careful test of the apparent phenomenon. It was decided best to use a small but heavy spherical body, been and a marble, tied to a thread was nuspended about twelve feet below the mouth of the shaft When the marble was absolutely still, assuring that It would drop straight down, the thread was burned through by the flame of a candle. The marble fell. but at a point 50 feet from the surface brought up against the east wall of the shaft. The same would be the case were a man to fall Into the shaft. While It would mean sure death, the body, badly torn, would be found lodged In the timbering on the east side. Members of the faculty of the College of Mines are now engaged In experiments with a view of developing data as to the thickness of the earths crust. It Is not toped to solve the perplexing problem of the distribution of the earths matter, but It Is hoped to add to the Information collected concerning It. To this end the Red Jacket shaft presents advantages possessed by no The other place In the universe. counIn of the other shafts parts deep try and In foreign lands generally began at an altitude and end above or very little below the sea level, whereas at the Calumet mine the Red Jacket shaft starts In a comparatively low altitude and pierces the earths crust deeper and further below the ocean level than any other In existence. It Is hoped within a year to be able to give some intelligent Information regarding the Investigations. Lake linden correspondence St. Paul Dispatch. The Season in Review. The baseball season of 1905 will go down into history as the most prosperous season ever enjoyed by organized baseball. The attendance at both National and American League games this Beason has increased wonderfully, probably 20 per cent around the entire circuit, and out of the sixteen clubs not more than three will be losers financially. Prosperity has attacked the game again and the magnates are gleaning rich harvests after many lean years. The season has been one of surprises and upsets In the American league, astonishing reversals of form, and yet, In the National, the teams have run pretty close to their true ability, except Cincinnati. The American has outdrawn the National and strengthened Its position, although the quality of ball in that league and in the National has improved, with the exception of the three dead clubs that the league was forced to carry through the year. This partly Is because the old stars of the American are getting older and because the youngsters that were picked up by the National at the time the American raided thetp and carried off their stars, are Improving. Undoubtedly the fact that the National from league race has been the start, and that almost every team In the American has held the lead at times or been within striking distance, bag made tbe Interest keener, and the brilliant finish of Chicago has aroused interest all through the circuit. The three notable disappointments in the American league were Boston, New York and Cleveland. These three great clubs have failed to play great one-side- d killed Its chances, and It went steadily from bad to worse. Detroit showed vastly Improved form and played at a steady gait almost all year, and this, coupled with the reverses of stronger teams, put.the Tigers Into the honorable mention class. St. Louis was a consistent last, the team getting weaker in every way. Yet It was St. Louis and Detroit that knocked down the leaders. Detroit killed Chicagos glorious chance by driving borne four defeats In two days and then walloped Philadelphia to help out Chicago, but not quite hard enough. The Nattlonal league clubs have run close to their true form, the only Berl-ou- s disappointment being Cincinnati. That, team, which looked strong in the spring, was wrecked by bad management and played wretchedly. New York, given a running start by Unfavorable schedule, which enabled it to play at home against weak teams for the first few weeks of the race, took tbe lead and never was headed. Pittsburg made the only serious bid, and that late lu September. Tbe Pirates bad a chance then, as the other Western teams were busy whipping New York, and for a time New York was badly scared. But when the pinch came the Pirates proved that they were not as good a ball team as Me Craws, and they lost for themselves. Chicago was looked upon in the spring as a strong pennant probability, especially by those who knew of the troubles In the New York team, which threatened to disrupt It. Chicago drew a bad schedule and got away bad, being handicapped by the Injury which kept Capt. Chance out of the game for the first month. Afterward tbe sickness of Selee affected the team, but It WHO HAVE STEERED THEIR TEAMS TO TORY IN THE CAMPAIGN OF 1905.

The score was: Late News by Wire. d , jorsv Tc ccwr ball and they were beaten out by Philadelphia and Chicago, two Inferior teams that played superior ball. Boston, on paper, tbe best team of the lot, got away bad, suffered defeat and humiliation at the hands of Washington, then making Its sensational hid for the pennant, never fully rallied. Late In August the team started a wild rush toward the lead. The players, who had allowed themselves to become fat and lazy while brooding over their tough luck, suddenly saw a chance and for two weeks made a strong hid, then they struck Chicago, fell six times In three days and crumpled up. never to rally again. New York, off bad and handicapped by bad pitching and by Elberfleld's sickness, was making Its run at the same time as Boston, but Grlf'a men also were crumpled up In the West and never rallied. Washington, after a sensational start, dropped back to Its true form. For a bunch of minor leaguers It made a good showing and got out of last place, which was as much as could be hoped for. Philadelphia really played the most consistent ball In the league. Wadpitching kept the dell's wonderful team up close to the lead. All the team and Mack'a veterans played steady, If not brilliant ball. When pressed at the finish they seemed to quit, but Bender and Plank, by wonde-fu- l pitching, saved them and they held their scant advantage to the finish. The victory of Philadelphia really is a victory for Connie Mack, Just as Jones and Comlskey deserve the credit for Chicago' remarkable showing. Comlskey had just an everago team and It suffered from sickness, Injuries and two breaks on the part of players. It played consistently except In two series, and during those two aeries It threw away a pennant that should have been easy for It. Then, when hope acemed dead, It started away on the most wonderful tour In tho history of baseball. Almost six games behind and with all Its games to play on the road, the team waded through Its rivals clear to Philadelphia and arrived there within half a gams of the lead. Luck defeated them In the first game, and after that ths chances were slim. Philadelphia, Inspired by new courage, refused to lose, and Chicago's task grew harder and harder, until hope died last Thursday. Cleveland really was the worst disappointment of the season. It came home from a victorious trip through the East, leading the league, then went all to pieces.
