M'LEOD WON THE MATCH.
Secured Two Falls from Fred Marks
Last Night at Bicycle Club.
Didn't Seem to Half Try.

Dan 5. Mcleod. recognized as one of
the real big men in the wrestling world.
| made his second appearance at the
Scranton Bicycle club last night, and
won a match from Fred Marks, of
Brooklyn, a husky youth of 90 years.
| possessed of u splendid physique.
crowd of over 300 which included
some of the best known men in the city.
was present when the two men stepped
on the mat shortly after o'clock in
answer to a call of time" from Ref
| cree Hugh keenan,. Marks is several
inches taller than Mcleod, who is
| short and stocky and seemed to be
| in little better condition.
Mcleod was the aggressor from the
| start and kept Marks on the defensive
| throughout the first bout. Mcleod
tried the rushing tactics for which he
is famous from the start, but Marks
didn't seem to be phased much by
them. Critical observers say, how
ever, that Mcleod didn't half try to
put Marks down during the first bout
and the ease With which the latter
slipped out of what looked like fatal
holds would seem to justify this state
ment.
one Tune IN particular Mcleod got
nasty leg and arm hold on him and
kept apparently trying to force him
down by sheer strength for nearly five
minutes. All of Il sudden, nobody
could tell exactly how it was done.
Marks was on his hands and knees and
had a hold on Mcleod. The crowd
made the welkn ring with cheers and
handclapping. Everybody could see
that Mcleod was going to win out
finally and SO nobody was particularly
surprised when he finally put Marks on
his back at the end of sixteen min
utes.
The second bout was shorter one.
and Mcleod this time seemed to get
right down to business. He turned the
gentleman from Brooklyn half way
over on his back just after five minutes
had been called. and then forced his
shoulders down by resting the whole
weight of his body on the under mans
chest.
Last nights match was for side bet
of 800 and the net gate receipts.

miscellaneous articles that have been
swept from their moorings on the up

A simple Lesson.

Maria Edgeworth, in her time second
only to Jane Austen among literary
women, had a warm sympathy for all
kinds of life, which accounts for the
ardor with which she writes Of human
beings. A trifiing incident, related In
one Of her letters, impressed her deep
ly.
1--WE went the other day to see a col
lection of natural curiosities at Mr.
Broderip's. My father observed that
he had but very few butterflies.
emo, SIR he said. "A circumstance
that happened to me some time ago
determined me never to collect any
more butterflies. caught a most beau
tiful butterfly, thought had killed 1t

DeIicacy of Smell.

Very careful experiments have been
made to test the delicacy of the sense
of smell in human beings. A series OF
solutions of FIVE different substances
was prepared, each series being SO ar
ranged that every solution was Of half
the strength OF the preceding one.
These series were extended by sue
cessive dilutions till 1t was impossible
to detect the odors. The order Of the
bottles containing these solutions was
completely disarranged, and the test
consisted in the attempt to classify
them by the sense of smell alone.
An equal number of male and female
observers were selected from the best
apothecaries' shops, and each was re-
CURED to arrange the bottles. The
males were able to detect the smell OF
the nitrate OF amyl In the solution OF
/ part to 783,0O0 of water, and the
females were able to detect 1t in the
solution of part to 311,000 of water.
The oil of wintergreen was detected In
about the same proportion and to the
same extent of dilution.
There was, therefore, a very great
preponderance In favor Of the males as
to the sensitiveness and discrimination
of the sense of smell. This is certainly
an astounding fact.--Gentleman's Mag
