A. e. Last Night
A good sized crowd. including a big
delegation of Pittsburgers, saw the
contest between jim Scanlon and Chas.
Aymer at the Fulton club house last
night. 1t resulted in an easy victory
for the Pittsburg man, the New Ken
sington lad going down and out after
ten seconds of fighting in the second
round The men weighed 162 pounds
at six o'clock, and were well matched
physically. Scanlon excelled in ring
generalship as well as cieverness, and
Aymer was poorly coached and helped
very materially TO defeat himself.
The preliminary was 10 have been
q ten round bout between Chippie
Chapline and Harry Smith, the latter
colored. The white boy showed up
strong and handed out some stir
punches which took the heart out of
Smith. In the fourth, Smith decided
that he had about all he cared for and
more than he was looking for, and he
quit. The decision went TO Chapline
Pat Murphy acted as referee in the
main bout. Dick Mccormack, of Pitts
burg, challenged the winner on behalf
of John Fsnnegan. Jack McClelland,
Otto Bloch and Louis Logamassino
were behind Aymer, and Corcoran,
Clifford and Carney were in Scanlons
corner.
The first round was fierce. Aymer
assumed the aggressive, ..nd opened up
in a lively manner when Me bell
sounded he rushed at Scanlon and
forced the fighting, cutting out furi-
/ Gus pace. But it was the pace that
kills. Scanlon allowed Aymer to wear
himself out, and took a stiff punch on
the nose, which brought stream of
blood. He held himself in reserve,
fighting on the defensive, until the
round was half over Then he did a
little work on his own behalf He let
out some terrific swings and lunges
which connected with telling effect
One blow on the neck sent Aymer to
the floor, and it was only the sound
of the gong which saved him. TIE
round was Eery fast.
Both men retired to their corners

with them. Aymer came up compare

and landed heavy righn and left on
the face, and Aymer sank to the floor,
where he remained until the seferee
had counted off the fatal ten seconds
which take him out of the conner"
class and place him among the "dubs .

Some of the tobacco imported from

cigars has a curiously speckled appear
ance. In the minds of certain buyers
this marking is evidence that the cigar
has a Sumatra wrapper Such is not
always the case. for the artful manu-
facturer has learned how to spot
American tobacco artfically. and he
occasionally does so in so clever a man
ner that the uninitiated customer never
suspects the trick.
Sumatra is a Dutch possession, and
the spotting Of the tobacco raised In
that island has been made the subject
of investigation by Professor Boyer
inck, of the Amsterdam Academy Of
Sciences. This learned man presented
to the Academy a few weeks ago a pa
per in which he set forth the results of
his inquiry. He described a living,
fluid contagion," which he declares is
the cause of the disease. This disor-
der, also known as the mosaic disease
of tobacco leaves, may be inoculated
into healthy plants by injecting into
the stem, near bud, sap pressed from
infected plants. The active virus
passes completely through the pores of
very dense porcelain. and can even
penetrate into agar by diffusion; there
fore it cannot be "contagium fixum"
in the usual sense, but it must be fluid.
Out of the tobacco plant it cannot be
made to multiply; but in the dividing
tissues of the leaf-rudiments and the
meristems of the buds it multiplies
freely and over q great extent. A
very small drop of the porcelain filtrate
can render all the leaves of the infect
ed plant entirely covered with spots,
and the sap of these leaves would be
sufficient for the cOntagion of an I'M
limited number of healthy plants.

About fourteen years after the con-

1888, Castilian coin commenced to
make its appearance in Mexico. As il
arrived, however, only in very small
quantities, it proved itself insufficient
for the needs of trade, even though the
latter was still of very insignificant
proportions. 1t was then that the ruling
viceroy under authority Of a royal de-
cree, ordered the manufacture in the
City of Mexico of small pieces of sill
yer of certain weight. These pieces
were not stamped with any coinage
whatsoever. and their value was de-
termined entirely 10y their weight and

Government. taking coguizance of this
fact established by royal decree three

Were located in San Luis, Santa Fe
and the City of Mexico.
The same decree also provided that
in San Domingo. on the Spanish island
known today as Puerto Rico, only
copper money should be- made, accord
ing to the regulations governing the
mint of CASTLE in the year 1859. The
coinage of Mexico was actually begun
during the reign of Niceroy Antonio
de Mendoza. who established a mint
in building belonging Ia the Marquis
del Vale. Here it remained only a
short time. being transferred first to
the council building, and later to the
Niceroyal Palace. During all this time
the coinage was of considerable
amount and the facilities of the estab-
ishmcnt were not sufficient to meet
the demands made upon it for coins.
for which reason frequent demands
for minting apparatus are found in the
ancient records. III the year 1918 the
mint was established in the Apartado
Building. and has continued since then
in the street of that name. From the
declaration Of Independence until the
year 1917 the mint was rented out to
private parties. who supplied with coin
