Substitute. for leo I'm skating.

Two San Fran cisco men have invent
cd compound that they claim will
take the place OF ice for skating pur-
poses. Exactly what the ingredients OF
their compound are thoy do not choose
TO say, but the body OF II is sulphur.
There are four other ingredients. The
substance itself is OF plable and
elastic character. The surface Is as
slippery as ice. and though OF an oily
smoothness will not grease the clothing
OF those who happen TO fall upon 1t.
The composition will be- spread over
thin iron plates to the depth of an inch.
These plates will rest upon brick but
tresses, and underneath, throug hout oil
the area, gas jets will DO arranged II
Inches apart. These will be used for
melting the compound and giving II u
new surface when the surface becomes
roughened. To melt IL will be all that
is necessary To accomplish this. The
sand and dirt left from the skaters
boots will sink in the lighter liquid. and
whom tho substance hardens again the
new surface will be perfectly hard and
smooth.

IDEA prevalent In many quarters that

About the eighteenth round / told
Joe to go In at Jim and try to dis.

Well, Joe rushed at Jim like human

vicious blows upon Jim's head. face
aud body. Jim, by reason OF his dis
Rbled right, could not ward half Of

pommeling. lie never blecched. lie
took his punishment like Spartan.
He kept his head as we'll as his heart

played his generalship as we'll as his

his muscles seemed made Of steel, and
he seemed TO be as tireless as n steam

Now as 10 the battle. II may be a

the tactics employed by the men. NV

Among the great masses OF tho peo-
pie who go to make up the sporting
world doubt and uncertainty exist as TO
which OF tho rival gladiators will prove
the better man. This is due To the fac I
that both are practically unknown
quantities, as neither has yet succnmb "a

Is his Willingness or ability to endure

powers. The Englishman has mot al

one legged trick rider who gained fame
several years ago by riding a bicycle
down the west steps OF the capitol at

with the conventional number OF
neither limbs had previously performed
the feat, but Fitzpatrick is the only one
legged man who ever shot down the 80
steps at the rate of 100 feet In three
seconds.
The accompanying picture, which Is
from The BedringS, shows tho daring
