A Subject of Wonder.


From the St. Louis be-Democrat.
ut is a subject of wonder to MANY, in
Guiding myself, said Spencer Harding, who is
at the Lindell, ''that rays of light and heat
should pass through intense darkness and cold
and still retan their primal conditions of bright
ness and warmth. Some go even SO far
as to refuse to believe it, and maintain that
light and heat Of night and day and the
seasons are the products of this earth, coming
about from certain chemical combinations OF
the earth's own forming. 1t was Just this end
that was thinking Of for IL the latter is true
then some one will have to explain why sun
light. passing through panes of glass. will warm
the carpet on the floor. or, indeed. any other OBJ
ject lying in the light while the glass re-
mains perfectly cold. This is not due to out
side conditions Of weather at all. for it is the
same winter or summer. You can hold a
piece OF glass inside a warm room, and back
from the window little. and although the sun
light may shine through it and heat up objects
on the other side, vet the glass will remain Just
as cold as ever. Now, if heat can pass through
cold glass without being affected. 1 do not
wonder that it passes through limitless space Of
intense cold and is still warm

NEW HAVEN. CONN, April 5.-Capt Ives Of
the Yale corroborates the press dispatch which
stated that Oxford in the cablegram received q
week ago by Yale declined to row the American
championship owing to inability to keep her
oarsmen together. Capt. Ives says that both
Yale and Harvard had for several days been ex-
pecting letter from Oxford explaining her &C
ton, but the time for the receipt Of such let
ter is now past and all chance of an inter-
national race seems to have vanished. The
captain further stated that in no case would
Yale consent to row any other crew this sum-
mer than the Oxford eight, the winner of the
English championship in the OxfordCam-
bridge race on March %.

ever heard of where no. water in sufficient
volume to turn a large mill comes from noun

hful cascades to empty into the river. The
water Is not warm; 1t is hot, absolutely so hot
that the hand Of an Indian cannot be retained
in the creek for a minute

HELENA, MoST., April Billy Lewis Of San

in the Opera House here from 10 o'clock Mon
day night till o'clock TUESDAY morning. when
Lewis was knocked out in the fifty-ninth round.
The purse and side bet made the stake 81 800.
Lewis did most all tine fighting for the first
thirty rounds. hammering Burgess head till it
looked like a raw steak. just before the thr-
tieth round Lewis broke his right hand with
vicious upper cut. He broke his left hand
later. From the thirtieth to the fifty-seventh
he hit often. but with no force. In the fifty
eighth round Burge landed q heart blow and
Lewis went all to pieces. The gong saved him.
The next round the Australian pounded
Lewis all over the ring and he went over from
sheer exhaustion. Old fighters say it was the
gamest battle they ever saw.
Burge mas been invited by the Crescent Club,
New Orleans. to meet George Dawson for big
