BRADY BLOWING.
Corbett Corrects Several Statements
Made by his Manager.

Jim COrbett in an interview
states that his manager was too en-
thusiastiC in making the assertion
that he could defeat Fitzsimmons
in three rounds. "He believes that
| can defeat any man in the world
in as short space OF time as / may
decide to end the contest" said
Corbett, "but such is hardly true.
/ am positive that l can win from
Fitzsimmons in twenty rounds or
Less, and it is quite possible that it
may not take more than half of
that time, When | met Mitchell |
said l hoped to win in less than
twenty rounds, and found that
three were sufficient.
"Brady also makes a mistake in
saying that, whether Fitzsimmons
puts up his side stake or not, will
make no difference so far as my
meeting him is concerned. That is
wrong, for he (Fitzsimmons) has
made his boast that he could raise
$4,000 to fight me, and | want to
see the color of his money. When
/ demanded big stake he weak
ened, and now he has not been able
to secure the third deposit of 81, 500.
l am willing to fight him any
where on the face of the earth that
he may select, but the fight must
be for the $4,000 side stake any
way. When the money is up you
will see me in the ring all right"
AT banquet given in his honor
in Philadelphia, Champion Cor
Ibett was called on to give his views
in general, which he did in terse,
effective way. One remark he
made was particularly interesting.
After speaking of the physical
courage. which is so essential in a
successful boxer, more so than in
the followers of any other line of
sport, he added: "And why does
football, a hundred times more
brutal, have a stronger hold upon
the general people than pugilism ?
I'll tell you; because those en-
gagged in it are what is called
'gentlemen's sons that's the rea-
son. If the exponent of boxing
came from the charmed circles of
society no opposition whatever
would be made, but they don't, and
therein lies the cause OF antagOn-
ism by those who never witnessed
a set-to with gloves"

AN ARTISTS INSPIRATION.
Unable to Draw "A Picture Except In the
Presence of a Certain Figure.

Walter Burridge, the artist, tells a
good story on himself and proves it by
showing the blank space on the wall
where the picture, one of the acOossO-
ricS of the tale, used to hang
He went one day to the studio of a
friend and found there an anatomical
figure, such as are to be seen in studios
everywhere. 1t was a good one, and
Burridgo wanted it, for his own had
been broken. HO expressed a desire to
have it, but the artist friend wouldn t
give it up for any money. 1t was his
inspiration, ne said. He needed it even
for the composition of a letter. And, as
for drawing anything in the human fig
uro without it, that was simply hope
less. He Couldn spare it,
So BurriGgo went away. But another
day, while in the same studio and in
the absence of the owner, a third artist,
who commonly shared the place and
worked there, said Burridge could have
the model if he wanted it. The owner
had concluded to get along without it.
And about an hour after the owner
came back. He sat down and tried to
draw a wagon. But he couldn't He

been overdue. But he could not get his

Maybe it is your brains," said the

MOCKERlES OF JUSTICE.
Gross Inequalities and Severe Punishinents
In the Courts of London.


For years Mr.. Labouchere has been
denouncing in his paper the gross inc
qualities in the punishments melted out
by different judges and magistrates for
practically identical offenses, and the
daily press constantly emphasize his de-
nunciations by their reports of cases.
Two monstrous mockeries of justice
which have occurred within the last
week or two appear to have at length
moved the lord chancellor to some sort
of action. A leading criminal judge
sentenced a man to IA years penal serv-
itude, while in an adjoining court an
other man got only three years for
crimes that are practically identical.
At Bristol worthless laborer with a
starving wife and children altered pa
rochial relief ticket so that instead of a
half days charity ration he obtained a
full days allowance, which gave a NOR
sci of food to each member of his fami
". For this terrible crime the poor
wretch was sentenced to IL months i'm
prisonment at hard labor. These partic-
ular cases quickened the lord chancel-
lOr's interest in the general subject, and
now it is announced that he is about to
appoint a commission of judges, leading
solicitors and barristers engaged in GRIM
inal law to investigate and report what
alteration in the laws or procedure is
desirable London Letter.

The Snow Blanket.

The value of mantle of snow in pro-
tecting vegetation in the fields in win
ter is fully understood in farming dis
tricts, and the cause of the protective
effect of the snow is an interesting sub
ject of scientific inquiry.
In Germany, where no such subject
is ever allowed to escape investigation,
DR.. Abels has recently made some i'm
pOrtant observations on the thermal
properties of snow. He has found that
the looser the snow the greater its pow
err to protect the ground beneath from
the effects of external changes of tenn
perature.
Snow generally offers about four
times as much resistance to such changes
as n sheet of ice of the same thickness
packed, therefore, it is less effective rs
a protection to plant life than when it
lies loosely upon the surface.
Other experiments show that, while a
blanket of snow protects the ground be-
meath from the chilling effects of the
winter atmosphere, yet the surface of
the snow itself, especially in clear
weather, is colder than the air, so that
snow tends to lower the temperature OF
the atmosphere, and where broad areas
of country or extensive mountain slopes
are covered by it important climatic
conditions may be produced by the in
fluence of the snow. Youths Compan,

A Modern Adam.

Up in Bear valley two summers ago /
came across u camp where a thin beard
ed, bronzcd man of about 30 was cutting
wood before small "a" tent In the tent
were many scientific works, including q
set of Encyclopaedia Britannica. Engaging
him in conversation, l found he was
prospcctOr who had come in from the dcs-
ert to let his burros rest and fatten on the
grass. He had come down from Pahrumph
valley across the burning desert in the hot
test part of the summer.
81 stopped at Vanderbilt" said he
"and made several locations, one of which
1 think will prove valuable, but 1 got tired
and moved on and am now on my way to-
ward southern Arizona"
l asked him how he liked the desert, and
he replied that he liked it better than any
other place.
'See, " said he as he flung open the front
of his shirt, II wear no clothing when on
the desert.
His breast was deep copper color, even
to his armpits, and fully bore out his state
ment. His conversation proclaimed him
to be an educated man, and he said his
books were part of his camp outfit and
accompanied him wherever he went. He
volunteered no other information regard
ing himself, and his bearing was such as
to preclude any questioning, but 1 have
often wondered what could have caused
him to choose such mode of life. OF one
thing am surc-he will follow no other.
