Fought Rounds.

Fought Rounds.
SAN Francisco, Aug. ii. Billy La
vine OF Saginaw. Mich, and Jim Burge.
the celebrated "Irun-bark Jimmy" of
Australia. fought to a finish last
night in the Pacific Athletic club
rooms for . purse Of $3.50. Burge
was favorite in the pools at two to
one, Lsvine being entirely unknown
on the Pacific coast. while Burge,
though not especially clever, Is motor
Iously perfect glutton for punish
ment and has won the most of his bat
tlee simply by letting his antagonists
wear themselves out on him. Both
had trained hard and were within the
lightweight limit.
At the end of round fifty both men
were tired: aud there being apparently
no chance for either man 10 win, the
fight VAS declared of.

Denudation in the Desert.

In spite of its dryness, according
to Professor Johannes Walther, tho
African desert is by no means free
from the changes produced by denuda-
ton. Rains, though rare, arc no.
where absolutely unknown, and arc
always so heavy as TO produce con-
siderable effect The changes in tenn
perature have still greater influence.
Inc daily range may be GO degrees
Fahrenheit, while the annual range
may be not less than 1926 degrees; and
the contraction and expansion due to
these variations is constantly splitting
up the rocks, which are not, as in
moist climates, protected by vegcta-
ton. Many examples could be given
TO show how the rock. masses in tho
desert are being destroyed by heat
and cold, wind aud shifting sand. The
surfaces of old walls are corrodcd /;
strata of different hardness in the
face of cliff are worn back un-
equally; masses of rocks are isolated,
and the blocks and pillars are carved
into strange forms, and especially into
flat-toppcd hills. Denudation, in
short, seems to progress as rapidly in
the desert as elsewhere, and along
very similar lines,-IBoston Tran
script.

Q. What is Alabistine'
A. Alabastine is n durable coating for walls
and ceilings
q. Is il the same rs knlsominest
A. Ii Is entirely different from all other pre- y
erations on the market.
Y. Wherein does 1t differ from these kalso-
mines on the MARKET
A. II is made from a cement that goes through
q process Of setting on the wall, and grows
harder with age.
Y. What are kalsomines made FROM
A. From Writings, chalks clays or other inert
powders for q base. and are entirely dependent
upon glue TO hold them on the wall.
" Why do kalsomines rub and scale,
A. Because the glue, being animal matter,
decays in a short time by exposure to air and
moisture and the binding qualities of the
material are then gone.
q Does the Alabastine contain any injurious
substance?
A. Alabastine has been most carefully tested,
and is recommended by leading santarians
throughout the country, on account of its
sanitary nature.
q. What bias the same investigation shown
regarding wall papcrs
A. Sanitarians condemn in strong terms the
use of wall paper for walls Of living rooms on
account of the poison used in its manufacture
q, Can anything but plain work be done with
Alabastine?
A. Any kind of work, from plain Uniting to
the most elaborate decorating can be done.
z. How can learn to do this work and dec
crate my house,
A. BY writing the Alabastine Company Grand
Rapids, Mich, for book Of instructions and
suggestions, and illustration OF stencils; also
showing six sets OF tinted wall designs. Sent

Habits OF the Moose.

j. C. Lockhart says that moose
generally lie with the tail windward,
trusting to their senses of hearing and
smelling, which are remarkably acute, to
warn them of approaching danger from
that quarter, using their eyes to warn
them from danger to leeward. While
they are sleeping or chewing the cud,
their ears are in perpetual motion, one
forward, the other backward alternately.
Mr.. L2ckhart also claims that the moose
has the remarkable babit of making a
short turn aud sleeping below the wind
Of their fresh track, so that any one
falling thereon and following it up is
cure to be heard or smelled before he can
