lions that have ruined other famous pu~
gilists and has q snug fortune at the pres
ent day.
Although there was much adverse com
mept upon the match made by corbett
with the present champion. Corbett In
sists he has meant business from the
first.
corbett booked passage Monday on ono
OF the big liners sailing early In June. He
expects to look over the Paris exposition,
and may take part in some exhibition
there, although that detail has not been
settled yet. AS to that. much will depend
upon what he does to young Mr., Jcffries
OF California when they meet. for q cham
pion Is seven cubits and span higher
than the man he has beaten; and at Paris
1t will need a champion to attract any at
tention. where there are so many mann

The racing firm Of John w Schorr a.
Son is dissolved and John r Schorr. son
of the we'll known brewer. has taken con-
troll of one Of the largest and best racing
stables in the country The Memphis
Jockey club received two documents which
explain themselves. They were paper
\
engagements to j +. Schorr and paper
which gave formal notice TO the Jockey
club that j. W. Schurr had sold all of his
interests to J. i. Schorr. John +. Schorf
began his career as stableboy around
his fathers horses, next he exercised the
horses and then became a rider and rode
many winning races. He was q careful
rider and a strong finisher. BY the time
he became too heavy to ride he was D

the manner in which he handled the quar-
tette Of horses which he raced in Cali
tornia the past winter.
A Chicago cycle trade paper has bscn
investigating by correspondents the pro-
portion of dealers handling the various
bicycle trust lines exclusively to those
including the Independent makes in their
offerings TO riders Nearly 500 replies
have been received SO far. and these show
two dealers handling independent makes
TO one sticking to trust bicycles exclusive
~. An account says:
This arises largely from the widespread
prejudice against trust goods of any kind,
and the prudent disinclination of dealers
to place themselves completely in the CON
troll of one big concern or combination.
This policy on the part of the retail trade
has resulted in a great increase in the
number of independent agencies gained
mainly from previous handlers of the BIZ
cycles as precautionary measure. As a
matter of fact the Independent makers,
who represent fully so per cent of the
entire output. have experienced a notable
boom In business since the formation Of
the trust SO great indeed that in some
instances further orders have had to be
turned down owing to factory capacity
having been reached.

From all these facts It appears clear
that oxygen is an immensely important
element in nature. Its great activity sug-
gests that 1t has much of electricity3
peculiar quality; it's stimulating effects
on animal life when breathed shows 1t
to be full of force. and as electricity is
the moving force of the universe we must
assign to oxygen the nature of electricity
If its atoms are not really this identical
form OF matter.
Another forceful argument in favor of
this view is that as electricity is also the
