For sake of Science.

Prof. Angelo Mosso, of Turin,
Italy, is well known for his many
experiments relating to human physi-
o1ogy. The confidence that his scien-
tific knowledge inspires was recently
illustrated by one of his fellow citi-
zens, Sig. Teodoro Scribante, who
placed himself unreservedly in Prof.
Mosso's hands for confinement in q
Theoretically sealed chamber where
air mixed with increasing quantities
of carbonic oxide was administered
to him. When the proportion Of
carbonic oxide to air rose to one part
in 233, Sig. Scribante fell into a
cataleptic state, from which he was
rescued with the aid of oxygen. The
object Of the experiment was to de-
termine how much carbonic oxide in
the air is fatal to human life

CORN-COB SIDEWALKS.
Man from Iowa Tells OF Novel
Scheme Adopted by Grain-
Shipping Towns.

Because Of the cob-pipe industry
Missouri has the reputation of being
the greatest corn-cob state in the
union. but Iowa has got its southern
neighbor beat when it comes to putt
ting cobs to novel uses" said a man
from Keokuk the other day, according
to a Chicago paper. did you ever.
hear of corn-cob sidewalks? Never.
did? Well, sir, made a trip through
out a big part of the state of Iowa
recently, and I found several grain
shipping towns that had corn-cob side
walks.
In spite of what one would think
about it cobs make a pretty good
walk. They are little rough at first,
but when the cobs become trampled
down the walk is smooth. It is more
springy than cinder path and wa,
ter will not stand in little pools in
the low places.
"From some of the little railroad
towns hundreds of thousands of BUSH
els of corn are shipped each year. The,
grain is shelled at the local elevators
and as there is little demand for the
cobs for fuel they are carried in
spout to place some distance from
the elevator and allowed to form in
huge pile. In order to get rid of
them they are generally burned A
year or two ago somebody discovered
that they made a pretty good walk
and now they are being utilized in
many pIaces.'

STUDENTS ROOSTER FIGHT.

Collegians Walk Miles Through Snow
After Main to Be in Time for Chapel.
Backing their opinions with wads Of
bills, twenty-five Princeton students at
tended a cooking main In road house
eight miles from New Brunswick. N.
j., on Thursday night. The main end
ed In a victory for Princeton over
Trenton by four battles to three; and
after all was over the students walked
through the snow to train in New
Brunswick, with the sole object Of
being in time for chapel in the uniyer-
sity yesterday morning.
The plans for the main were Matched
in the university, and were approved
by 150 sporting men from New York
"A challenge was sent to Trenton, and
early Thursday night all the persons
on the inside" started for the road
house. Some went from New York,
some from Albany, and more from Jer-
sey City, Newark, Railway and SIAM
ford. Sleighs were in waiting at New
Brunswick, and as quickly as the
sports arrived they ware loaded In and
driven away. Three sleighs were filed
by the Princeton boys. They started
singing college songs. and an hour later
IA
hours the sleighs arrived at the road
house.
The main was won by Princeton OH
the last battle. Princeton took the
first and second with black hackle
and gray. AT this stage the betting
was $50 to $50 on Princeton winning.
A white hackle won for Trenton In the
third fight, and Dominick won the
fourth for Princeton. A black hacl<le
landed the fifth for Trenton, and the
sixth won for the same cause by a
spangle.
TIE deciding fight was the best Of the
main. Both sides showed Dominicks,
weighing five pounds six ounces each.
In the fifteenth minute the Princeton
bird was fiat on it's back and apparent
" beaten. Trenton men were craving
for some one to take their offer of 500
to 81. The students were silent. and
the Trenton men implored the handler
for the othef side to take the bird out
of the ring. He refused, and presently
the Princeton fighter began to rally.
It got to its feet, and. slowly regaining
strength. killed its opponents in thirty
FIRE minutes.
Then excitement broke loose. The
Princeton yell shook the roof, and
Princeton pockets bulged with green
backs. F1ated with their victory. the
students laughed when they were told
they could not get sleiehs for several
hours to take them to the station. They
said they had to get to chapel. and they
would walk At the end of five hours
the last of them got out of the snow
drifts.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
transportation Delayed by storm.
Railway Earnings Increase.


NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
Just as the railway congestion began
to give way before the vigorous efforts
of traffic managers the situation be-
came further complicated by the worst
snowstorm of the season, and the move
ment of merchandise was again inter-
rupted. Latest figures of gross earn
ings show the usual gains, February
thus far surprising by II per cent last
year, when unusual delay was caused
by severe storms, and 1901 by 1916 per
cent. Increased cost Of operation, how
ever, necessitated further advances in
rates.
Trade was interrupted to consider
able extent by the inclement weather,
except in certain seasonable lines, not
ably heavy wearing apparel. Whole
sale houses dealing in staples have re-
ceived liberal orders and much forward
business has been placed. Jobbers
urge quicker shipments on old orders,
while travellers send in many new con-
tracts.
/ Bids are invited for extensive build
ing operations, giving strength and ac-
tivity to materials and supplies.
Failures for the week numbered PAT
in the United States against $50 a year
ago and 26 in Canada compared with
81 last year.

{ ST. JOHNS, NJ IT,, Feb. 81. Two

rior Of Newfoundland. They have near
" hundred persons aboard, who ara

food. The relief trains are also blocked.
One relief engine was ditched, and
most Of the working party of thirty,
men were frostbitten. The chief trou-
BILE is that the relief parties are unable
to venture far from their own trains
because of the blizzard which has been
raging during the past week.
An expedition with dog sleds laden
with food started at daylight today IL

passengers. Snowbaliks twenty feet
high extend for miles, and tho cntn

The whole railway service Is para

all their coal, are now burning the
wood fences and trees alongside the
tracks. No mail has come in or gone
out Of the colony for over week.

GOING THE ENTIRE LIMIT.
Massachusetts Banker Gives the
Champion Illustration OF Gem
uine Yankee Thrift.

The proverbial Yankee thrift shows
up big in a story now going the
rounds reminiscent of western
Massachusetts, banker who died dur
ing the past year. He believed in the
maxim "a penny saved is penny
earned with vengeance, says the
New York Commercial. His clerks
were denied the luxury of pads of pa
per, and were required to figure on the
backs of old envelopes that had been
carefully prepared by the Office boy
In his leisure moments. The banker
had son-in-law who builded wisely by
inviting his father-in-law to spend a
few weeks with him at the seashore.
The close-fisted banker decided to I'M
loosen to the extent Of having the
daily newspapers that the bank had
subscribed for sent to him after the
quotations had been inspected. He
left explicit instructions that the adj
vertising pages were to be cut out,
and the edges trimmed, so as to save
postage.
The papers, which were sent every
other day, were too heavy for the one
cent limit, though considerably in
side the weight allowed for two cents.
1t was a matter of facetious comment
in the bank that the cold man" was
not getting full value for his two
cent expenditure for postage. The
margin in favor of Uncle Sam, how
ever, diminished appreciably after the
third installmento of literature had been
forwarded. The cashier received q
postal card that bore the following re-
quest:
Mail papers In single wrapper
every four days, and they will require
but three cents postage

McGilvray Seems to Have Fallen Into

The alleged night revels Of DAILY and

ing the Worcester newspaper men to
make severe criticisms.
The American league held meeting
in Boston, but took no action with RET
erence to Clinton's failure to material
ize in Providence on Monday night. So
far as is known the league did not even
impose a fine.

Elwood has it in for Richmond. The
Record says: ssThe crowd at the Apo1-
10 last night was one Of the smallest Of
the season, due to the fact that Rich
mond was the opposing team. The
dirty tactics employed by the Quakers
and the almost certainty of fight
every time they come here has served
to lessen the attendance when they are
to play"

Ern or WntcrfaTIs.

One of the most notable things in the
rapid march Of mechanical science is
the increasing use of waterfalls for the
production Of electric power. This is
going on in all parts of the world, and
has resulted in an enormous increase in
the money value Of the falls. Some
one has estimated that Niagara falls,
as producer, of power, is worth
81, oOc, 900 900. Waterfalls are now driv-
ing tram-cars, ligh ting cities, running
factories, irrigating farms, and per-
forming innumerable other services,
often at a distance of many miles from
the source of power. Italy, abound
ing with waterfalls on the slopes of
the Alps and the Apennines, is among
the leaders in this advance. In India
it is proposed to derive $4,000 horse
power from the Doogh Sugar river, at
a point where it's waters descend about
$500 feet.-Youth's Companion.

Phillips. an Italian Phillips is very
rugged fellow. but has not any of the
cleyerness McKeever possesses. and
the latter punched the Italian at will.
Phillips, however, withstood the Cruel

finish. There was no decision. put
McKeever apparently had the better or
the combat on points.
After fighting twenty rounds at the
Wilmington A. G. of Hot Springs, Ark,
on Thursday night, both Steve Crosby

good shape the referee thought 1T was

Columbus, o., Feb 21.-Just before
leaving for Richmond, Ind, yesterday,
Champion Jeffries received telegram
asking him If he would accept a propo-
sition to fight Corbett to a finish in
Nevada for a purse Of $4,000. In
speaking of the matter, the champion
said: sThis is the first direct PROPOSE
ton for fight with Corbett that 7
have had made to me. / have seen
Corbett quoted as challenging me to
another bout, but as far as any definite
overtures are concerned none has been
received by me. considered all the
things / saw printed in the newspapers
as mere bluff, so paid no attention to
them. So far as accepting the PROPOSE
ton, cannot answer that now. I
must catch the train for Richmond

on the subject later" If the offer of
$4,000 for fight to a finish between
Jeffries and Corbett by the Tonopah
A. @. of Nevada has been made in
good faith there is a chance that the
men may come together. Yesterday
Corbett announced his willingness to
accept the offer, but he was inclined to
believe there was some chicanery
about it. Corbett is sincere In his eff
forts to get on a match with the cham
pion. but he thinks this latest offer is

offer yesterday, Corbett said: IT have
