row Apparently Done.

The exodus of so many jockeys to for
that were anywhere near first class by
| the Eastern owners have made good
riders scarce. In the West this gave
| many lad a chance to earn some money
| in the saddle. OF all the new cnes that

Robbins, who weighs about seventy Y
pounds, appears to be another Tod Sloan.
He rides as we'll as the majority of heavy
| boys, can rate horse and is one of the
few that can be entrusted with whip
Since he won his first race al Chicago, he
has had plenty of opportunities to ride,
and he improves on acquaintance. At
st. Louis. there is another little boy
who is sure to come TO the front. His
name is Booker, and he is brother of
the Booker who was killed by a fall from
horse in the East. He is improving
every day, and Thursday he landed two
winners at Delmar.

The colt absolutely lacked speed in that
race Since then he has been ailing. He
bled during the race, and is now in no
condition to train on. Harrow is one of
the most highly bred colts out this sea-
son. and after a display of fine form
during the spring training season his
owner was led to expect great things
from him.

Numerous representatives of foreign
companies and local deal srs have been

crops: We are advised that they are
buying at prices somewhat below early

From Racine comes the press report
that representatives of the American
Cigar Store and Supply company have
been there in the interest of the trust,
attempting to lease buildings or to buy
out the local tobacco dealers Several
OF the dealers state that they were
threatened that ii they did not sell they
would not be allowed to buy any more
goods, and that they would be compell-

would be undersold

on-Conductor OF Electricity.

PROF. Trowbridge of Harvard univer-
sity prints in the Philosophical Maya
zine researches which lead him to the
conclusion that pure hydrogen is
non-conductor of electricity. An cleo
trio discharge cannot penetrate an at
mosphere of pure hydrogen, nor, in
fact, any gas. In ordinary cases the
spark il transmitted by the ions, re-
sulting from the decomposition OF
water. Echumann has shown that
pure hydrogen at atmospheric pressure
transmits ultraviolet rays as freely as
the mos& perfect vacuum. Hence, this
gas, by ESnxwelI's theory, must be a
non-condt,ctor. Prof. Dewar has also
shown eS*srimentally that liquid hy-
drogen is a non-conductor.

Discoveries and Inventions

Some results Of the scientific balloon
ascensions made In Europe under the
direction Of the International Aeronau-
fical Committee follow: Great varia-
lions OF temperature have been found
at different localities even In the up
permost layers of the atmosphere. The
soldest regions lie to the northeast, the
Warmest to the southwest OF the con-
rinent. At an altitude of 5000 meters
:he temperature was 20 degrees C..
above Paris and only 40 degrees C..
above Vienna at the same time. The
ssothermal lines at 5000 meters run
from south toward northeast. Those
of minus 10 degrees c. extend west
from the north of the Adriatic sea to
Moscow; those OF minus Is degrees
from southwestern France to ST. Pc
,ersburg, etc.
The isobars of 5000 meters also ex-
.end in general in the same direction
The lowest pressures are above Eng
land; the highest above southeastern
europe The velocity of the wind in
:reases from S.3 meters per second at
l,600 meters altitude to 11.2 meters at
$500. At attitudes above 5000 meters
the velocities are probably above 16
meters.
