Acetylene Lamps.

Acety1ene lamps leaped into popular
use so quickly that 1T is hardly sur
prising that a great amount of ignor-
ance exists concerning the principles
on which they work and the proper
care of them. The limit of ignorance,
though, would seem to be that Of a ma
tive of New York who went to the con-
Germ that made his lamp and complain
ed that it would not burn. Upon ex-
animation it appeared to be full of fresh
carbide, but devoid of water. When
chided for not having water in the
reservoir the rider was surprised to
Learn that it was necessary. He said
he thought the water was to keep 1t
COOL and that it ought to be all right
if he wanted to take a chance and
burn it without water" The water
was put In. but still the lamp refused
to burn. On closer inspection the In
vestigator discovered that the material
in the carbide chamber was not car
bide. It looked like it. but was heavier
and lacked the pungent odor that
idnetifes calcium carbide.
What Is this" quered the investi-
gator.
That's the stuff that makes it
burn" responded the ignorant owner
su1lenly.
Where did you get it?"
AT coal store. Of course. I saw 1t
in the window and went in and bought
a pound. I had the lamp with me and
they must have known what I wanted
it for. 50 l supposed 1t was the right
kind
The material substituted for carbide
was what is known as "buckwheat"
coal and the dealer had probably
thought it fun to let the ignoramus
btIy il for his lamp

promoters in hopes of getting a better
attendance. There is a whole lot of
mystery about the fight. 1t comes from
the ignorance the public is in of Nc
Coy's condition. A number of close fol-
lows rs of the boxing game are of the
opinion that the kid" was playing
foxy. Many people have the feeling that
he will come up January ] in prime
condition and ready for the battle Of
his life. On the strength of the Kids"
habit Of coming to life suddenly when
he has a big bout on it looks like an
even money bet. The odds win get
around to that figure shortly before
the date for the fight. The fact that
Mccoy is tackling big. man and prac-
tically going out of his class may seem
against him. Anyone who saw him put
Tom Sharkey down in the second round
of the fight between the two last win
ter knows he can hurt the big fellows
The big men, and Sharkey in particu-
lar, have large respect for Mccoy.

permanent. They will be placed on
rollers and removed from the field in

George Gore, the Veteran.


George Gore. the veteran, deplores
the condition OF the league as conducted
at present.
THE league" said the old white
stocking, was never conducted but
once that I can remember. and that
was when Hurlbut was president OF
the old Chicago league club and was al
SO head of the National league IN the
bargain. There was man for you.
There has never been his equal since
he died. There were none of these bick-
erings and conspiracies that are now
prevalent. Why, Hurlbut would get
the magnates together and they would
do twice as much business IN an hour
as they do now in a day. He had base
ball down to a fine point, and knew
more about the game than any man
living. He had executive ability OF the
highest order.
"He was the best club president I
ever knew. He never upbraided the
boys when they lost a game, and I
can tell you they would break their
backs in trying to win. My, but that
was d combination we had playing on
the old lake front. Some Of them are
dead, but | guess the majority of them
are still living.
There was Goldsmith. He is now
running a grocery store in Detroit
Tommy Burns Is in Springfield, and
am sorry that Tom could not get along
in Chicago. He always was too good a
fellow. Dairymple, / understand, Is in
Minneapolis, and Billy Sunday, one of
the speediest men in the business, is
doing missionary work
Mccormick. I think, is in Pater-
son, N. j., and Clarkson is in Bay City,
Mich, doing well in the cigar business,
as / understand 1T. Flint and Kelly
are no more, and Ed Williamson, the
greatest shortstop that ever lived, died
years age. I tell you there is lump
in the throat when you come to think
of those fellows with whom you once
played.

A New Term.

A new term has come into the foot
ball category, and it may be used ex-
tensively next season. 1t bids fair to
become even more popular than the
guards back interference invented
several seasons ago by Coach Wood
ruff for the Pennsylvania players. who
used 1t SO effectively.
The new play has been named
Warmers wing shift" because it in
wolves the shifting Of the right or left
wing Of the rush line, and was invented
by Warner, the Cornell captain, who
had the Carlisle Indians in charge the
past season.

RnCe Control.

The cycle reporter of the New York
Tribune, who is pretty close to the
managers of the League of American
Wheelmen, has this to say concerning
the league presidency and race control:
Conway w. Sans of Maryland is
man who has done splendid work for
the league for years, and his friends are
anxious to have him hold the Teins of
government. Mr.. Sans himself has am
bition in that direction, but he is on
record as saying that Colonel Keenan,
has done good work this year. and that
the Pennsylvania man is entitled to
reelection If he desires it, and that he
(Sams) will not oppose Keenan, under
any condition. Isaac 3. Potter of this
state will hardly consider the proposal
to get into wheeling harness again,
and Sterling Elliott of Massachusetts,
says that he is not a candidate this
year. To veteran league man who has
watched the political pot boil for years
it looks as if Colonel keenan, will place
himself at the mercy of the assembly,
and 1t is generally believed that he
will be asked to succeed himself for ar
other term. That he will make no fight
for the office seems assured.

rode a diamond frame bicycle they de-

teacher who would take her place
should not ride any kind of a bicycle in
any kind of clothes. But they looked

success and have at last been COM
PEELED to give the place to Miss Carrie
Hubbell of Stratford, who, though an
enthusiastic wheelwoman, rides loop

skirt.

TO TUNNEL GIBRALTAR.


/ PARIS, Dee. IA gigantic under
taking for tunneling the Straits of Glib
raltar is receiving attention now. NJ.
Jean Berlier, a famous evil engineer
who IS the author Of the project. has
just published in book from the result
Of his studies in connection with it.
He considers that an international
tunnel, uniting Spain and Morocco and
prolonged by railway from Tangiers
to Lalla Maglinia, would prove inyalu-
able for the successful development of
Frances African colonies.
From sOundings taken by him II
Berlier has proved the existence Of a
compact rock formation across The
straits, which guarantees solidity and
impermeability. The undertaking, he
says, would be no more difficult than
the piercing Of Mont Gents. St. Goth
ard, Arlberg or Simplon He adds
that il diplomatic obstacles are not
greater than the natural ones. success
is certain.
NJ. BerIer estimates that 4 tunnel Of
forty-one kilOmeters twenty-five and
one-half miles) would cost 1928, 900 900
and that the work would require seven
YEARS. ne calculates t1dt the cOnnec-
ton of the lines OF the Algerian Rail
way system and extension from Tangi-
ers to Lalla Maglinia would cost an
other S1S,000,000 or s19,000,0OO, so that
the whole enterprise would necessitate
S242 100000. To offset this expense NJ
Berlier shows that the approximate
yearly revenue would be S15.25O, 900 He
already has received the consent Of the
Spanish Government to the scheme and
is working to obtain the authorization
of the Moorish Government to create
a tunnel terminus in its territory.

Peyton c. March of the Thirty-third
Infantry has abandoned his pursuit of
Aguinaldo and has reached Bagnen, in
the heart of the Grand Cordillera,
where the range is 10000 feet high and
where food is scarce and travel almost
impossible.
From native cOuriers and Spanish
prisoners it was learned that Aguinal-
do left BOntoc in the province of the
same name, with three women and two
soldiers, three days ago and headed
southwark, evidently for Bayombong,
in the province of New Vizcaya. where
1t is thought he may encounter the
Americans
Major March's command was deple-
ted 20 per cent by the two days march
from CervanteS to Bagnen, so he re-
turned to Cervantes on December 10.
