Macon Mccormick writes as follows
about the old-tlme boxer, Joining Clark:
Prof. Johnny Clark won his laurels in the
ring in the bare-knuckle days, when limited
round Contests were unknown. In Those
days when a man SHE'D his castor into
ring in defiance of his adversary he ex-
pected TO lick his man or be well licked by
him before he left the squared circle.
Therefore he prepared carefully for his
encounter, and neither he nor his friends
thought six weeks or two months too long
a time TO devote TO that preparation. Under
the OLD style rules men could fight as long
as they chose In close quarters. There was
no limitation TO hitting while one hand was
free, aud If a man found that he was get

able his only way OF esca ping il was by
ciinching his man in wrestIe, in which
he might find that he had jumped out OF he

The fact that IN wet weather the soil
dries slowly even when covered with
plants that ordinarily drain the soil
rapidly, leads some u think that when
wet the leaves absorb moisture on
them. But the fact can be equally
we'll accounted for by the knowledge
that water on the leaves prevents
them from evaporating the moisture
brought from the soil by roots. TINS
soil contains some mineral elements
which unite with carbOnic acid gas
from the air in forming plant tissue
While the leaves are wet they canno'
absorb carbonic acid gas. This with
the effect of stopping evaporation.
makes the sappy growth which many,
jumping too quickly at conclusions,
think must be caused by the direct
absorption Of water thrrugh u'<
