Boston, May 21.-"Twin" Sullivan easily outpointed Charley O'Rourke in their eight-round fight at the Cam bridge A. c. last night, but owing to a previous agreement calling for a draw ill case both men were on their feet at the finish. he did not receive the award. They both boxed at catch weights and O'Rourke was the favorite. For the first three rounds very tame exhibition was given, but starting the fourth Sullivan forced matters and up to the finish had everything his own way.

Wind NJ n Destroxer.

DIR. y. A. Julien recently brought be-
fore the New York Academy of Sciences
evidence to show that the ravages
wrought upon sea bluffs during great
storms are often due to the wind as
much as to the ocean waves. Sand and
salt spray driven for hours before a vio-
lent wind act like a gigantic sand blast,
eating away with surprising rapidly
the layers of gravel and sand of which
many projecting headlands are com
posed. The surfaces of bodies exposed
to such wind are soon pitted.

Hydrogen a Compound.

Scientists now find tie atom COM
pound, and they are studying its thou
sandth part. Professor Pickering OF
Harvard. as the result of an intricate
study of the spectrum of lightning
flashes, has come to believe that hydro
gen, instead of being simple element,
is made up of at least three compo-
nents. This and other recent discov-
cries lends new probability to the old
theory that the chemical elements are
not fundamental, but that they them
selves are made up of various primary
simples combined in their different pro-
portions.

UNUSED ENERGIES.
Garrett Il. SerViss Writes OF Some
wonders of Nature.


Wonders of Nature.
Attention has recently been called in
some of the scientific journals to the
enormous power that IS running to
waste in the rivers. Every country
where rapidly flowing rivers exist may
be said to be interlaced with streams
of unused energy.
We are beginning. it IS true, to utilize
the power of waterfalls and rapids for
the production of electric energy, but Il
great river, flowing steadily and re
sistlessly onward, is capable of fur
nishing energy at any point along its
course, says Garrett z. SerYiSs in the
New York Journal. The noise of its
waves washing the banks is like an
invitation to turn their wasted strength
to some useful purpose.
Between the boroughs of Manhattan
and Brooklyn, under the eyes of 3,0O0,-
600 people, the ocean stretches pow
erful arm, sinewy with the strength of
the tides that daily sweep ferryboats
and deep laden ships and steel hulled
battle giants like floating chips this
way and that way. Yet all this energy,
roads and light the streets and houses
and warm the rooms and cook the food
and lift the burdens of the American
metropolis, goes gurgling and singing
ON its way, ungrasped and almost I'M
regarded.
Who can watch the sun swinging
daily from his rising place In the east
to his setting place in the west and re-
fleet that this apparent motion of n
body 100000 miles away is due to
the actual rotation of the massive
earth on its axis without wondering
whether so unthinkably vast n store
of power as this mighty flywheel on
which we ride possesses will forever
escape the grasp of practical science?
When Will the inventor of the gearing
that is to send the energy of Il rotating
planet into the wheels of our machines
be born?

A series of scientific experiments
made in the capitol at Washington for
the purpose of showing the physical
properties of thependulum have brought
out some strange facts in regard to the
actual movement of the capitol itself.
The big dome moves about six inches
daily In an elliptical track, says a writ
ter In the San Francisco Examiner.
This movement is due to the infu-
ence of heat and cold, producing OK
pansion and contraction. y wire was
hung from the top of the dome to the
floor below, and on the end of it was a
specially prepared plumb bob, with
lead pencil inserted in its lowest point.
The point OF the pencil just touched
the floor. on which there was Il paper.
The pencil point marked on the paper
the exact movement OF the top of the
dome during a period of twenty-four
hours and showed it to be an elliptical
track averaging six inches in length.
The dome starts moving in the MORN
ing just as soon as the suns rays strike
it, and the pencil draws its curved
track until shutdown, when n reaction
takes place ind 1t moves back to its
starting place, but not over the same
track, for the cool air OF the night
makes the dome contract so that the
pencil draws the other half of the
ellipse.
Tie Washington monument, Ike the
capitol. is Influenced to move daily by
the heat from the sun. Government
engineers at Washington have rugged
up Il permanent device there to show
just how much it may be out of plumb
at any time.
