at once declared on again.

M'CONNELL'S OPPONENT
The Rival Welter-W Weights Will Meet
Before the National Club
in August.

After extended negotiations the officials
of the National Athletic Club have found
an opponent for Frank Mcconnell in the
person of Jim" Franey. The men will
box in Woodward's Pavilion on August 10
and will weigh in at 14S pounds.
Franey was the boxer who made so i'm
petuous a fight with Charley Golf and who
paid the penalty. He is a boxer of the
whirlwind type and should make an excel
lent adversary for Mcconnell. The men
are about the same height and reach and
both have proved themselves game. Nc
Conneu is in condition now. having been
given a careful preparation for his bout
with Neill by Tim McGrath, he will
need only light work to keep on edge.
Franey has been rusticating in the coun-
try and will settle down 10 training at
once.

Black Sea a Poison.

The explorations of the Russian scientist, Andrussow, have established q very curious fact. The black sea, which in some parts has depth of more than $500 feet, is poisoned by sulphuretted hydrogen wherever the water is deeper than 1,200 feet This accounts for the curious fact that there in no organic life below that depth, excepting, perhaps, some bacteria of very low order, impregnated with sul- phur. The causes for this phenomen- on are explained by the quick outflow of the fresh water through the Bos- phorous, while salt water coming from the Mediterranean enters through a deeper current into the depths of the Black sea. The waters on the surface are. therefore, controlled absolutely by horizontal currents of considerable force. and vertical currents which might carry the snoxious gases from the bottom to the surface and fresh oxygen from l4e surface to the bottom are hardly ever noticeable. The water at great depths is now so saturated with sulphuric gas by the disintega- tion of organic matter sinking to the ,ottom by reason of it's weight that no
 sh or other living being, which needs
 xygen for it's organic system, can ex-
 st beyond a stated depth.

ments were In his possession.
IL was clear that some one on the

information he possessed. General
Dodge advised the young man to re-
veal his informant. lie spoke to the
young man about his youth and told
him that he evidently did not realize
the danger he was In.
Young Davis replied with character
iatic firmness: General Dodge. / know
the danger OF my situation and am
willing to take the consequences.
General Dodge persisted and assured
him that II would be the only chance
for his life.
Finally Davis said; 81 know that
will have 10 die. but will not tell
where got my information, and there
is no power on earth that can make
me tell. You are doing your duty as a
