FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Dave Sullivan Emulating the Example
 of Jim Corbett.

za | D
 Baltimore. Oct 16.-Much interest is manifest ill the ten-round bout tonight in this city between Young Corbett and Joe Bernstein. Sam Harris. Terry Me- Governs manager, has sent word that he and Terry will see the mill and the managers of the fight announced that the winner will be challenged by Ben ny Yanger, Kid Broad, Tim Callahan and Eddie Lenny. The champion has been here since Monday and has done a great deal of road and gymnasium work. He is somewhat feshy, but otherwise is in first class shape. The idea of a defeat at the hands of Bern stein never has entered the cham pion's mind, but he believes that Joe is man an opponent should be careful with. Bernstein has been training for three weeks and is in splendid condi- ton. He will weigh about 125 pounds and does not think Corbett will be re- turned the victor.
 Since James J. Corbett carelessIy whipped three artillerymen who made sport of him, they laboring under the impression that they were chafing a tlller of the soil instead of 8 master of the padded gloves, other workers in the field of pugilism have been endeavor- ing to emulate the example of the for mer champion. Yesterday Dave Sulli- van succeeded. Three frerocious, blood thirsty, desperate and murderous high Waymen held him up at 116th street, near Eighth avenue, and demanded his money. They emphasized their de- mands with revo1vers of the pleasing bore of forty-eight calibre, warrant ed to cut hole in a man big enough to crawl through.

We would like to call your attention to the following letter: v
 Dear Sirs:--I have been suffering from dyspepsia for q years. When ever would take astrong diet would bloat up in the stomach. I would suffer great pains in the head and stom- ach and would be obliged to take to my bed and remain sometimes for a day and night. I would be unable to attend to my household duties at all. I tried home physicians, but they failed to do me any good. Nothing did me any good until last winter, when some one advised my husband to get for me bottle of KoDoL DYSPEPSIA CURE, which he did. used several bottles of it and 1 am happy to say can eat any kind of strong diet I please. can sleep we'll at night and l feel like another person altogether. l cannot give Kodol Dyspepsia Cure too much praise, and I will highly recommend it to ali sufferers of dyspepsia. - Mrs. Peter Kline, HopeWell, Pa.

THE POWER OF SPEECH.
Result of a Slow Process OF
n Natural Growth.

Speech Is the result of slow process
Of natural growth, and there is no
human race that does not possess it.
If in the present state of the world
some philosopher were to wonder
how man ever began to build those
houses, palaces and vessels which we
see around us we should answer that
those were not the things that man
tied the branches of shrubs to make
himself a shelter was not an architect
and he who first foated on the trunk
of tree was not a navigator. So it
is with speech, which grew from rude
beginnings. All the more intelligent
animals can express simple conditions
of mind both by sound and gesture.
The dog can emit four or FIVE sounds
each fully understood by his compan-
ions. The common barnyard fowl has
from nine to twelve distinct vocal
sounds, all of which are comprehehded
by its chickens and by other fowls
There can be no doubt that the speech
of hAah arose, in the beginning, from
similar sources. Gesture speech was
frequent. Many sounds were imita-
tive. Purely conventional and hoh-
initiative sounds were adopted f0F
convenience, just as deaf inutes now
invent arbitrary. sounds to stand for
the names of friends, etc. 1t is not
Precisely true, then, to say that Clan
guage begins where ifterjection ends. y
However it Originated, it is the condi-
ttion 81 progress. AS Romanes said:
IA manlike creature became human
by the power of speech" When did
speech originate? Romanes thinks
that our human ancestor may have
been in The age Of flint when he added
to gesture, vocal tones and facial
grimaces the power of speech. The
foregoing. sentences are a very free
condensation of an address by Prof.
CUNNINGHAM.

calculation in leaping from one timber
to another means a cold bath in the
lake, and if no companions at hand to
give him a lift, his death is but a ques-
ton of few minutes.
In view of the fact that fatalities
attend the drive FROM the time it is
set afoat far up river, in May, until
it reaches. Pea cove boom, 200 miles
away, in August or September, the
Woodsmen have devised novel piece
of mechanism for finding bodies that
lie below the water.
The invention consists of molasses
hogshead with one head removed and
pane of window glass cemented
above a hole cut in the remaining
head. The hogshead is set on end,
with the end containing the glass in
the water.
Two green and heavy logs are then
dashed to the sides of the hogshead,
causing it to float as deeply as posi-
bic in the water. The logs are held
together by spiked cleats fore and aft,
so a man can stand on the improvised
raft and scull it back and forth AS
soon as the mechanism is completed
a small man gets into the hogshead,
which is closely covered at the top, to
exclude the light.
When the man has been inside few
minutes his eyes become accustomed
to the darkness, so that by looking
through the, pane in the bottom, the
only point where light is admitted, he
is enabled to see to depth of 20 and
80 feet and distinguish objects lying
upon the bottom of the waterway.
AS the hogshead is capable of holding
but little air, the man cannot remain
inside For LONG. As soon as he comes
oft he takes the scull oar while his
companion goes inside to scan the
depths. In this manner many bodies
have been recovered and watches lost
overheard and cant dogs, which have
slipped from the hands of careless
drivers, have been restored to the light
of day.
The instrument which the lumber
men use has been called a water-scope.
a term Which is neither English or
Greek, though Compounded from both
languages.
The name of its inventor is unknown;
and there is no patent to protect the
idea. Woodsmen say it came into use
about 25 years ago. Previous to that
time the man who wished to spy upon
the floor of lakes and streams used a
wooden tube made of four narrow
boards, the lower end being provided
with light of glass.
AS boards are hard to find in the
wilds of Maine, while empty molasses
hogsheads are to be had at every lum-
Der camp, the hogshead water-scope
was no doubt adopted because it was
the only thing available, Since the
first one was so constructed no other
kind will be used.

An article in the Pail Mall Gazette
on the Simp1on tunnel suggests specu-
1ation on the great tunnel still to be
made. One which involves great en-
gineering difficulties was lately sane
toned by the Austrian parliament. 1t

of greater Importance, though it has
not yet gone further than being talked
about, is for a tunnel under the GrimseI
pass. This, indeed, may be regarded
as the inevitable supplement to the
Simplon, which it will couple with the
Bernese Overland, enabling travel al
most in a bee line from Calais to Milan.
1t is bound to come, therefore, in due
course, but it will probably bat last

men began to talk among themselves,
evidently settling what they should
tell me, when an elderly woman-not
by any means an old Indian hag-but
a well-preserved woman OF, say, so
years of age, broke in and said she
would tell me all about it after supper.
1t was not many minutes before the
meal was concluded, and, taking out
couple of packs of tobacco from my

AN IDEA FROM FRANCE.
Method OF Extracting Oil from olive
Pulp Likely to Prove Useful

A method of extracting oil from
olive pulp which has long been in

available for vegetable oilcake also,
and is likely to prove useful in Amer
lea, Consul General Skinner, writ
ing from Marseilles, describes it,
in a letter to the state department.
The essential feature of the system
Is that some chemical solvent, like

the oil from the pulp, and is then sep

an impertinent little fellow, and fond
of teasing the bear. He would stand

Come across the river and eat me!' The
bear would grunt in. his anger, but was
wise enough to make no reply. But
one day he got everything ready, and
built a large bonfire in which to roast
the fox. Then, when the haunting lite
tie creature came out and began his
sneering, the bear quietly droppea
into the water, swan across and while
the fox was still shouting his rude
insults fell upon him, and, carrying
him in his arms, took him to the other
side. Then, laying the fox on his back,
he got ready to tear him to pieces.

SELF So the bear let the fox go, and
as he stepped behind the bushes
he was a modest fox-he ran away
and escaped. He travelled north until
he came to the home Of the rattle
snake, to whom he told the story Of his
narrow escape. The rattlesnake hid
the fox in his dirthouse where he kept
his seeds (his tu-vi-kan). There was
every imaginable kind of seed, and
they were each in an ola. or jar, COW
cred up so that the mice ard other
vermin could not get TO them. The
ola nearest to the door contained the
black-eyed peas, and in this the rattle
snake put the fox. For, said the wise
snake, the bear will never think of
looking in the ola nearest the door.
1t was not long before the bear arrived,
having tracked the fox to the home of
the rattlesnake. Where's the fox?' he
said. 4 don't know said the rattle
snake.
'' L must hunt for him then!'
"'AlI right!' responded the snake.
So the bear went into the tu-vi-kan
and, opening the ola farthest from the
door, said: is he in here?' and re-
peated the question as he took the lid
off each ola, one after another. To
every question the snake answered
'No!' until the bear came to the
last one, in which the fox was
hidden. Then, as if angry to be
asked so many questions, the
snake said: Don't look in thereS

-auarryine stone with water.

a remarkable quarrying feat was
recently accomplished at Rubislaw
quarries, Aberdeen, Scotland. A
large stone had been drilled, ready
for splitting, when the thought
struck the foreman that the severe
frost which prevailed might be uti-
lied. Water was poured into each
of the drill holes, and it was found
after a couple of days that the block
of granite had completely burst open.
An idea of the immense power of the
frost Will be gathered when it is
stated that the stone thus detached
measures IL feet by five feet, and
has weight of about six tons.
