they were of no use against his burly
opponent.
Round Eight-Corbett staggered JEFF
fries with left to the nose and ducked
Jeffries' left. Jenries hooked right TO
the body, Corbett sending in half II
dozen lefts and rights on the face,
which Jeffries accepted pleasantly. JEFF
fries was coming toward his man all
the time and in a break away almost
landed right on the jaw Jeffries put
hard left to the body, got two lefts on
the face and came back with left on
the head. Corbett endeavored to stab
Jeffries, in the eyes, but thus far his
blows had not raised a bump. Cor
bett fought cleverly at this stage, send
ing in half a dozen lefts and rights on
the jaw. He seemed to improve a hun
bred per cent, and the great crowd
was in state of wild excitement. They
'cheered him to the echo. This was
Corbett's round. He has changed his
style, and is using some of his old
time cleverness in ducking and block
ing.
Round Nine-Jeffri came at Corbett
like the rush of a mad bull. Corbett
put left on the face and avoided re-
turn. Jeffries leaned heavily on Cor
bett in the clinch. Corbett seemed as
strong as ever. and there was a long
series of clinches. Corbett put three
rights on the body at close quarters.
He hooked Ieffries on the jaw three
times with left and crossed with right.
Corbett's left cheek showed a lump
from one of Jeffries' close arm blows.
Jeffries had a similar mark. At the
close Corbett stabbed Ieffries in the
mouth with his left three times, but
they We're weak efforts.
Round Ten-Jeffries stood up and
came after his man without hesitation.
Corbett seemed to be making a waiting
fight. They exchanged lefts to the face
and Jeffries made a vicious effort JEFF
fries sent a left hook to the stomach
and Corbett went down for nine sec
onds.' He got up and received a left
in the stomach and right on the Jaw.
He went down and after the count of
seven Tommy Ryan threw up the
sponge. Corbett was suffering pain and
a chair was brought for him. After
a minutes rest he recovered and got up
and shook hands with Jeffries.
MY Last Fight, Says COrbett.
Corbett said after the fight: 81 did
my best and lost. I fought the best
I knew. Jeffries was too big for me-
and he is the best man in the world

There are besides the fire insurance
annual bill and the bill for the fire
stations, with their costly sites and
buildings, the fire engines, the other
machinery and the horses. All this
outlay keeps us poor.
But the loss of life is worse. and
it is easy to build fireproof or bet
ter ustibles-houses, such as In
the River Plata countries, and prob
ably in Bethlehem and Nazareth. The
manner is as follows: In these coun-
tries they neither use the arch iron,
but hardwood, which, having mostly
to come a thousand miles down the
river, is dear. So all the floors and
the roof, which is fiat, are supported
by joists shaped as in this country,
and across them are laid rails of the
same hardwood, about a foot apart,
upon which rests the ends on thin
bricks, on which another layer Of
bricks or sometimes two is laid in NOR
tar, and on this tiles. Then there Is
no skirting or panelling. In Britain
cement should be used for that pur-
pOSe, anu lneTe SHOULD De no DO&lng
of doors and windows, the frames be-
ing built in securely. The doors are
also of hardwood. In that fine climate
no lath or plaster is ever used. In
this country the laths should be Of iron:
and If moulding is wanted around the
doors 1t could be of cement, instead
of dangerous inhammable wood. In
such houses bonfire made by piling
lot of sticks and shavings on the
best bed in the best bedroom and set
ting fire to 1t would not set the house
on fire. The writer has for sixty-four
years lived in or been connected with
the great city of Buenos Ayres, the
capital of the Argentine Republic. and
the largest city in the Southern Hemi-
sphere, with $4,000 inhabitants. and
never heard of life being lost by
fire, but there are fires in grocers' shops
and such like places. Latterly, as
pine from the United States is now
abundant, some builders have used It
partially in buildings in the capital.
and such are not quite freproof, but
it is a bad practice. In Britain, as
roofs must slope, because of the snow.
and fiat roofs would not do the states

strips. This might be a little trouble
some at first, but our skaters and
smiths would soon find out the way.

FORMATION OF CORAL.
Recent Studies of AtoIIs by Agassix
Summarized.

ASet StuuIes OF AtOllS by Agasstz
Summarized.
From the bulletin of the American
Geographical Society.
Prof. Alexander Agassiz has sum
married his results, based upon obser-
vations of barrier reefs and atoIIs
corral islands) carried on during the
last twenty-five years, for the pro-
ceedings of the Royal Society. He
recognizes the fact that Darwin's the
DRY does not explain the conditions now
observed, but limits his report to de-
scriptions of the different types of coral
reefs and of their probable causes
without attempting to establish any in
dependent theory
He has found that the barrier reefs
of Fiji Hawaii and the West Indies
are underlaid by volcanic rocks and
usually flank volcanic islands. Those
of New Caledonia, Australia, Florida,
Honduras and the Bahamas are under
laid by outliers of the adjoining land
masses. Some of the barrier reefs of
the Society Islands, Fiji and the Caro-
lines show that the wide, deep lagoons
separating them from the land mass
were formed by erosion from a broad,
fringfng reef fiat.
Encircling reefs, as in the Society Is
lands, hold to their central island, or
islands, the same relation which a bar
rier reef holds to the adjoining land
mass. Denudation and submarine ero-
sion account for the formation of plat
forms upon which coral and other
limestone organisms may build either
barrier or encircling reefs, or even
atolls rising upon a volcanic base. q
We may trace plateaus that have
been elevated like Guam, partly vol
canic and partly limestone, to atolls
where only a small islet or a larger is
land of either limestone or volcanic
rock is left to indicate its origin. Atolls
may also be formed upon the denuded
rim of a volcanic crater as at Totoya,
in Fiji. Many of the atolls in the Pa
cific are merely shallow sinks formed
by high sandbanks thrown up around
a central area. Throughout the Pa
cific the Indian Ocean and the West
Indies the most positive evidence exists
of moderate recent elevation of the
coral reefs.
Closed atolls can scarcely be said to
exist; Niau, in the Paumotus, is the
nearest approach to one, yet its shallow
lagoon is fed by the sea through it's
porous ring. The land area of an atoll
is relatively small compared with that
of sthe half submerged reef flats. In
the Marshall Islands and the Maldives,
for example, the land areas are reduced
TO minimum. AtollS may ltSo LIoiil Z"
platform of suitable depth wherever
and however it may have been formed
and whatever may be its geological
structure. The great coral reef regions |
are within the limits of the trades and |
monsoons and the areas of elevation, |
with the exception of the Ellice and |
Marshall islands and some of the Line |
islands. Corals have their fullest de- |
velopment on the sea face of reefs; |
they grow sparingly in lagoons where |
coralline algae grow most luxur1antly. |

ROOT ISSUES ORDER
DEFINING DUTIES OF GENERAL
STAFF OF THE ARMY.
THE PRESIDENTS POSITION
Il CoMMANDER-IN-CHI BUT HIS
POWER CAN BE DELEGATED.

In Times of Peace Controls Army
without Second in Command.
Channel of Presidents Command
Is Through Secretary OF War and
Chief of StaH-Secretary Reports
TO President, Chief of stan to Sec
retary-Chief of STAFF to He Select
ed From Officers of Army at Large
Not Below Grade of Brigndier
General.
Washington, Aug. H.-Secretary
Root tomorrow wifi pronulgate an
order defining the duties Of the general
feet under the law, Aug. Is. The most
important feature of the order is that
in relation to the selection and duty
of the chief of staff.
Upon this point, the Secretary says:
Under the act of Feb. IA, 1908. the
command of the army of the United
States rests with the constitutional
commander-in-chief, the President. The
President will place parts of the army,
and separate armies whenever consti-
tuted, under commanders subordinate
10 his general command: and, in case
of exigency seeming to him to require
it, he may place the whole army under
a single commander subordinate to him;
but in time of peace and under ordi-
nary conditions, the administration and
control of the army are effected with
out any second in command.
Secretary the Agent.
The Presidents command is exer-
cised through the Secretary of War
and the chief of staff. The Secretary
of War is charged with carrying out
the policies of the President in military
affairs. He directly represents the
President and is bound always to act
in conformity to the Presidents in
structions. Under the law and the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court his acts
are the Presidents acts, and his direc-
tons and orders are the Presidents di-
rections and orders.
THE chief of staff reports to the
Secretary of War, acts as his military
adviser, receives from him the direc-
tons and orders given in behalf of the
the manner hereinafter provided.
Must he BriGadier General.
THE chief of staff is detailed by the
President from officers of the army at
large not below the grade of brigadier
general. The successful performance
of the duties OF the position requires
what the title denotes-a relation of
absolute confidence and personal accord
and sympathy between the chief Of
staff and the President and necessarily |
also between the chief of staff and the !
Secretary of War.
For this reason, without any re-
Election whatever upon the officer de-
tailed, the detail will in every case
cease, unless sooner terminated, on the
day following the expiration of the
term of office of the President by whom
the detail is made; and if at any time
the chief of staff considers that he no
longer sustains toward the President
and the Secretary of War the relations
above described. it will be his duty TO
apply to be relieved
Gen. Young will tomorrow issue or
ders relinquishing command of the
army, assuming the duties of chief of
staff, and assigning officers of the gem |
eral staff

AS TO SERVANTS.
From the New York Press.

From the New IOIh L 1853
The automatic servant is still IN
future. The negro maid, cook, waiter
and butler are unpopular in New York,
therefore we are to continue to look to
the Swedish, Norwegian and Irish i'm
migrant for household service. And
YOU cannot imagine how very indepen-
dent these come-overs are beginning to
be. Mrs. Boyle, matron of the Immi-
grant Labor Bureau. has expert opln-
ions on these people, her connection
with that institution extending over
a period of thirty years. THE Irish
girls" says she, ARE tipped off what
demands to make before they arrive.
An have friends in the city. Speak
of the country-they tilt their noses
in disdain. They want to stay in New
York. They get better wages here,
and hate to pay railroad fare"
Mrs. Boyle added: There are 200
pIaces waiting for every Irish girl that
arrives. Very few Irish and English
girls are coming over now, because
there is a great demand for their serv-
Ices at home. In Ireland girls earn
* a week in the creameries. and both
English and Irish papers carry many
advertisements for them. Another held
is lace-making at which a smart girl
can earn $500 a year. which is consid-
cred fine wages. The demand for irish
lace is so great Just now that one I'M
porter says orders placed Immediately
cannot be filled in ten years.
