the manly art in Southern California, as
Harry Maynard was In San Francisco, and
many of the fstic productions Of fifteen
years ago came from his school,
In 1884 Manning left the ring because, as
he expresses it. II found 1t was not ele-
waiting" In 1856 he stood up before Jack
Dempsey for forty minutes, which was the
lightweight record for the Pacific coast.
While In New York he witnessed the
Sharkey-Jeffries fight, and Is most en-
phatic In his declaration that at no time
was the sailor a match for the big cham
pion. 1T was good little man against a
splendid great, big man." ne said last
night "Sharkey was entirely outclassed
and is no match for Jeffries. The latter
had the best Of II in every round, not
w;thstandlng. the press credited sharkey
with having 1t in several rounds. It looked
as though Jeffries was pulling 1t out for
the pictures. These are good SO far as
they go. In fact they are the very best
ever secured of any prizefight Unfortun-
ately the film gave out in the twenty
fourth round, so that they are not COM

F. F. Stotko has been appointed postmas-
ter of Dyea, Alaska, succeeding Miss Clara
Richards, of Idaho. Dyea residents recent
ly arrived in the city say Miss Richards
resigned more than year ago, but the

Through that department alone the BUSH

On Landing TrOOps.

In landing force on hostile shore
a great deal more has to be provided
than the vessels to carry it. There are
people who discuss an invasion, and
who seem to have an idea that the mat
ter is limited to crowding number Of
soldiers on a ship and directing them
to be landed at certain place. There
is no consideration of how they are to
get on shore with their arms, guns and
ammunition; that merchant ships have
only a few boats, and that artillery
cannot be transferred from ship to
beach without any previous prepare
ton When we consider that, notwith-
standing the support and resources Of q
large combined fleet and the presence
of transports, more than month Of
hard work was required before an ar
my Of $4,000 men could be landed in
the Crimea, we are justified in doubt
ing those who assert that the invasion
of our shores with $50, 900 or 200. 600
men is not only within the bounds Of
possibility, but by no means SO difficult

1.o1,e. Tbot Cbanre Color,

1t is we'll known that the water OF
many lakes exhibits characteristic col
ors. The lake of Geneva, at the western
end of Switzerland, is blue, while the
lake of Constance, at the eastern end OF
Switzerland, is green. Blueness implies
purity, since the natural color Of water
is blue. A green lake has its water
slightly clouded with impurities, which
may be exceedingly fine particles, sep
arately invisible. Professor Spring Of the
University of Liege says that green
lakes sometimes become absolutely col
orless for time, and he has found that
this sudden change of hue is due to the
washing into the lakes Of mud colored
red by oxide of iron. Red is compile
mentary to green, and the result of the
mixture is that the green color Of the
water becomes for the time neutraGzed
