Billy Duke and Tommy Corcoran are

The go viii be for twenty-five rounds for
a decision,
Duke and Corcoran met some time ago
in a twenty-round contest, the decision
OF which was given to Corcoran. The
fight was one OF the most stubbornly
fought ever seen in Savannah. Duke s
poor showing was a surprise to the ma
iorlty OF the spectators, as Il was thought
that he would easily dispose Of Corcoran

condition al the time and this may have
had something 20 do with his defeat
Corcoran was almost unknown at the
time. as he had not been seen here except
Ga exhibition bouts. while Duke had
fought a number OF hard fights and never
been beaten. The victory OF Corcoran
was, therefore. all the more glorious for
him. and his stock has gone up with a
jump The betting on both sides Is spir-

The number of riders in training, both
on the roads and at the track, has never
been so large as at present The roads
are crowded with fast riders every aft
ernoon and night, and there are fully a
dozen doing daily work at the track. Re-
ports of some very good work are going
around, and some surprises are looked for
in the coming races.
Road riding is extremely popular just
now. Estill avenue and Waters road seem
to be the most used, and 1t is a pretty
sight any afternoon or evening to see the
number of riders out for a spin. Now
that Waters road has been extended, a
run out White Bluff road to Estil avenue
and then out Waters road makes a ride
of good length and excellent riding all the
way.
There is a big bank of sand obstructing
Estill avenue about fifty yards from where
the avenue runs into Waters, and II is a
source OF much trouble to those unac-
quainted with its presence. Whether or
not Il Is left there for any purpose, can
not be said, but If the commissioners
would have 1t removed they would earn
the lasting gratitude Of many wheelmen.
A gentleman and lady out riding with a
party one night last week were unawares
of the existence Of the sand bank. and.
the night being dark, both took header
into the sand, with uncomfortable, II not
unpleasant consequences to both.
All OF the roads are badly In need OF rain
and the cyclists are praying for some, but
not too much OF IT, Would that Donnelly
and Grard, the rainmakers, were in this
section, that they might give a sprinkle
just heavy enough 10 lay the dust; for the
wheelmen are afraid that when II does
rain that It Will pour and riding be made
impossible
II is understood that there will be one
or two match races at the track this morn
ing and there will doubtless be a large
crowd out to witness them. There has been
a good ael Of discussion among certain
riders as 70 their respective merits as fast
men, and the races to-day are to put an
end TO these arguments. There will be
no prizes. OF course. and the races will
simply be for satisfaction"

Russia, with over 4,S75,0 square
miles more than the United States, has
15S, 900 miles less of railroads, says
the Boston Courier Most of the en-
gines burn naphtha oil for fuel, with
excellent results. This oil is the ref
use from the first refining and costs
about 40 cents per barrel. This oil is
also used for general lubricatiDg pur-
poses. None of the engines have bells,
but instead they have two whistles.
The engines are finely painted, the
wheels red, the frame black, jacket
and cab green, with a fine black stripe;
the inside OF cabs nearly white, or
cream color. The speed OF freight
trains is limited to 20 miles an hour,
and the fast express is limited to 81
miles per hour. In switching and
making up of trains all signals are
given by sound-that is, the switchman
has tin horn which he blows and the
engine driver is obliged to repeat this
signal by whistle before he goes
ahead. When and engine stops the en-
gineer is required to give three short
whistles.

Stove adapted for Hot Weather.

Professor William NJ. Watts. of Still
Pond, has a novelty in the form of IL
cold stove. The stove is for use in the
heated months of summer for reducing
temperature, just as stoves heated by
fire are used to raise the temperature
in winter. BY the use Of salt. IA small
quantity of ice and a patented chem
ical the most intense degree of cold is
secured SO great is the cold that it is
as dangerous to touch this cold stove
when in operation as it would he to
place the hand on II fire stove mt a high
degree of heat. The skin is instantly
tafen off and painful injuries are the
result of the slightest contact. Pro-
fessor Watts states that during the hot
test weather the temperature of room
mayb run down and made pleasant by
the use of this novel device. The new
process was discovered by college
mate of the teacher of the Still Pond
school. The cost of operating the stove
is very slight.-Chestertow Transcript.

be comfortable rather than awkward
and uncomfortable is a monkey wrench
and little common sense. With those
nearly all the changes that are neces-
sary to put wOmen's wheels in proper
condition can be effected.
A proper position for Il woman on
bicycle is shown in figure >. The rider
there sits easily and gracefully. and the
work Of propelling her wheel is not half
the work eXerted by any of the others.
She not only looks well, but it is posi-
tion in which cycling exercise is play
rather than labor. and beneficial rather
than harmful.

over the pedals, too, rather than behind
them, and would have enough of her
weight on the handle bars to guide her
machine easily and safely.
There is such thing. however. as
having the saddle too far forward and
too high, as is shown in figures 3 and
i, which illustrate positions Just the
reverse of those in the figures explain
ed above. In figure 3 tho rider has the
appearance of climbing a steep hill and
of working very hard in the ascent,
simply because her saddle is too low
and too far forward She has to push
back on her pedals rather than down
and has not room enough between the
saddle and the pedals to give full swing
to her knees. Raising the saddle and
putting it back a little would give the
rider graceful and easy position.
The difficulty shown in figure is the
opposite of that iii ngure 1-the saddle
is too high. The rider has to tip for
ward in order to reach the pedals when
they are at their lowest point in max
ing revolution. That attitude is, per-
haps, the most tiring that can be as
sumed by rider on a long journey. as
1t throws the entire body out of posi-
tion. The adjustment would be correct
II the saddle were lowered so that tne
pedals and handle-bars could be reach
ed easily and the lady would find cy-
cling much easier and more pleasurable
than she can in the attitude in which
she is shown.
All that is necessary to make any of
the changes suggested and to adjust
wheels so that the riders can look and

The working OF amber in Prussia is a
monopoly in the hands of firm which
owns the two best mines, the Palmnick-
en- and Kraxtepelle. For the concession
it has, according to a report from the
British consul at Dantzig, to pay to the
German government a royalty of $50,
900 marks year. 1t is reckoned, says
the London News, that this firm has,
up to now, paid no less than $1,000
900 in royalties to the German govern
ment. In addition to the output from
the mines in 1895, a good deal of amber
was picked up on the beach at the Pill
lau, in the province OF East Prussia,
being washed up with the seawood dur.
ing the prevalence OF northwesterly
gales. The shore at Pillau after storm
is sometimes covered with layer OF
seaweed three feet thick, among whicl
the amber is found entangled Men
women and children find easy and lu
crative employment in searching for the
amber along this part of the amber
coast. The people engaged in this pre-
carious work often earn So day OF
more. In 1895 about 100 tons of raw
amber came to Dantzig to be WORKED
up, as compared with l40 tons in 1894
1t is nearly all melted to make lac ant
varnish. The larger pieces are als'
made into beads, which are sent al
over the world. The beads known t'
the trade as the Leghorn corals, are il

A little thing happened down at the
home Of Schilling's Best tea the other
day that cost the firm clean 5000,
and the most interesting feature of the
natter is that they could have got out
d paying it if they wanted to-because
il was voluntary thing and no one
Expected them to do it.
1t seems that, in the earlier part of
De missing word contest. A. Schilling
d Co. promised 500 each to the two
persons who sent in the largest number
d SChilling's Best yellow tickets before
June 10.
1t seems fair that the consumers of
Die tea should get those prizes. A
goCer has better opportunity for col
lecting tickets; and then, too, he makes
profit on the tea But two grocers
gon the prizes, and A. Schilling & Co.
paid the money.
Now comes the funny part-they
wanted consumers to get 5000, and were
determined they should. So they paid
anOther 5000 to the two consumers who
BAD sent in the two largest numbers of
tickets.
That is handsome, to say the least.

chine seems part of her as she rides
1t. 1t is not bit harder to have BIZ
cycle adjusted to fit than to have it
adjusted so that it does not fit, and the
difference in appearance is everything.
In most cases the changes necessary to
alter the position and appearance of a
rider from bad to good can be made by
raising or lowering the handle bars or
the saddle, or moving the latter little
forward or a little back. In nine cases
out OF ten women who look and feel
awkward on wheels do so because the
seats and handle-bars of their machines
are not properly adjusted.
The accompanying pictures show
some of the many shades of difference
between the right position, in which a
woman may ride gracefully and easily.
