HOW TO BECOME MUSCULAR.
RxampIe of the Japanese N OcmA mended to Those Whc Wish
 to Gain strenEth.

Although the Japanese, as rules are men of small stature; they are among the strongest in thes world. Any boy of IA or IS who will faithfully practioe9 their system of producing strength wilg find himself at the end of a few months able to cope in feats of power with tha average man of 25, and all this withS out the dangerous practice of liftinas very heavy weights. It should alwaya be remembered that rest must be talz5 en after each exercise.
 While resting try deep breathing Stand erect, though not in a gtraiped position, and throw the chest out. and at each breath draw the abdomen in and throw the, chest out. As the breath is exhaled let the chest fall inward again and the abdomen outward. For 90 minutes to half an hour Is a long enough time to devote to jiujitsu. and this .in- cludes the time spent in breathing durs ing rests--for deep, correct breathing is tn itself one of the best exercises pos sible Tn inhaling draw the breath through either the nostrils or the mouth. as preferred: In exhaiing always let the breath escape through the mouth,

CALIFORNIA; CHARM.
Visitor from East WiII Miss Much, But After a Year There Is Ready
 to CnpituIate.

You will not find everything in south ernsC California. You will miss the wide stretches of green in the open places, far removed from the dusty cities, the noble trees, the clear streams of water, the blue lake nestled in among the pine clad mountains; you will miss that splendid miracle, the change of the sea- sons, when your whole nature comes into closer touch with the great mother heart of nature than at any other time in all the year, says H. s. Harwood, in the World To-day.
 Yes, you will miss much, but when you have been here year, when month after month of rare and beautiful weath. CT blend into each other, when the sea woes you and the flowers charm you and the brown mountains beckon you and the soft air soothes you, after year has passed you find there are some compensations for the lovely things you have left behind you, you come to realize that nature has done more for this stretch of sea and noun tain girt iand than she has done for any other spot on the globe.
 You may have been charmed with California when you came, you may have been captivaeed after you had been here year, you may capitulate and consent to be captured by the time two golden summers have stolen over you

THE PUGlLISTS.
NO BIDS FOR
 THE FIGHT.
Sharkey and nunroe Are Forgotten by the Clubs More Good Boxing News From All Parts.

A battle-ground for the contest be- tween Tom Sharkey and Jack MunTOe which was arranged 8 few weeks ago, was not selected yesterday. Although when the papers were signed it was decided to leave the opening of the bids for the encounter until January l5, lao proposals were received, conse- quently the representatives of both men are to meet again next Wednes- day to choose q rendezvous, provided proposals are at hand by that time. Sporting men thought many clubs may have been scared off by the stipulation that a certified check calling for $2,0O0 must accompany each bid. This Is 9 large amount of money. even as q for felt. for a heavyweight fight, Then. again. San Francisco has been barred by the ex-sailor, who objects to facing Munroe in that city. Sharkey how ever, seems determined to fight Mum roe. He said last night that he would be prepared to meet the miner to a fin- ish for. from $1OO0 to $5,0OO side. Whether Munroe can secure such a large backing is a question, but his manager says he can and that Munroe will take on Sharkey for endurance if they cannot fight in public. Sharkey is now satisfied to fight Munroe for six rounds, although the articles <stipulate that the battle must not be less than fifteen rounds. Mayor Harrison of Chicago hasrepeatedly said that he will not allow heavyweights to fight in that city. No ban has been placed on the big men in Philadelphia. so, after all. they may agree to meet there, pro- yided the necessary inducement is forthcoming.

Tor dan Not Started.

Although Ben Jordan was to have sailed for America on January il, no word has been received regarding the Englishman's departure from the other side Some time ago Jordan wrote to his representatives in this country that he was ready to meet Young Corbett. Terry McGovern or any other pugilist who could reduce to 124 pounds. and authorized the arranging of match. A go with Benny Yanger was practical ly made and the foreigners represen- tative sent Jordan $500 for his ex- penses. Up to date nothing has been heard from Jordan, and the chances are that he will remain abroad until a tidy sum is assured him whether he wins or loses in any of his fights here Jordan is in a position to dictate, as he has saved the bulk of the money he has made in the ring and does not have to fight unless he cares to.

Melody Pummels Connolly.

Boston. Jan 16.-It did not require a full round for Billy Melody, the Charlestown welterweight, to demon strate that he was the master of Eadie Connolly of St John, N. B.. at the Lenox A. c. last evening, and when the pair had been in for two minutes and forty seconds the referee stopped the bout to prevent the latter from being killed. Connolly was far from being in shape. Although the men were matched to go twelve rounds Melody started in whirlwind fashion to finish his man early. He foored Connolly twice with right hand swings to the jaw and gave him such severe punishment tbat it was easy to see he could moi last, so the referee ended the bout right there and declared Melody the winner.

Doughelty, however, easily outpointed Feltz iil every round but the first four. Feltz did not put up the fight that he is capable of while his opponent used excellent ring generalship, judged distance nicely and landed on Feltz's face and jaw re peatedly Feltz played mainly for the body, but his blows had no telling ef- feet. Neither man showed signs of any material punishment after the con- test.

TELLS HOW TO TAME LIONS.
About ContrOIifng Wild AnImnls Her Sensational Feat.

The terrible tragedy which was eu& acted in lions den near Berlin has rey, vived the question as to whether a liouis tanner can ever hope to die a natural death.
 At the present time Miss Ella. a Danish woman lion tanner. is giving sensa- tional exhibition at the Royal Music halls Holborn, with seven African lions, says a London dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 She concludes her performance by throwing away her whip. lying down on the stage and putting her head and arm in the mouth of the large African Hona Siegfried, who killed a keeper in tha Vienna geological gardens four years ago.
 Tn an interview Miss Ella said she was not at all nervous in the den. and haM handled wild beasts since she was eighM years old.
 Nearly all accidents which happer to tanners" said this daring young wo- man, sare caused by forcing lions to dc tricks against their will, instead of Ist-I ting them rest until they get into good temper, but fatal accidents are very rare

GLOBE TRoTTING ON A BET
Young Austrian Trying to Visit All
 Countries I'm Eight Years.

Young Austrian Trying to Visit All
 Countries In Eight Years.
 Dr. Oskar Radvanen. a young Aus trian, arrivcAl at New York recently to walk acrosM the continents of North and South Anserica and to visit every country on the two continents, all of which has to be done to win wager made three years ago that he would walk around the world in eight years, says the New York Times.
 The globe walker is now twenty-one years old. Three years ago he was a student at the University of Bucharest and a member of the Royal Jockey club In that city. One night with sew eral others he was sitting in the club house when the talk turned to globe trotting. Young Radvanen remarked that to walk around the world would be interesting as well as instructive and said that he thought he could cir cle the globe in at least eight years.
 The club took the matter up and in 3 short time. Radyanen says, offered to wager $2OO,OOO that the doctor could not do the tour and visit every one of the countries in the given time. He accepted the wager and made his start from the clubhouse on Jan. Is, 1900, agreeing to walk wherever walking was possible and to sail only across bodies of water that were not bridged.
 Dr. Radvanen first turned his face to- ward the east and during the first two years visited all the countries of Asia. He visited the emperor of China, by whom. he says, he was decorated, and later penetrated far into Tibet. There he lost his compass and for several months despaired of ever getting out of the country.
 After all of the countries of Asia had been visited Dr. Radvanen made a tour of Europe. He was received, he says. by all of the monarchs of Eu- rope and was decorated by several of them. Tn Macedonia he was held cap tive by the bandits several days until they learned what his object was, when he was at once liberated.
 In his walk across the country to San Francisco hes will stop at several of the large American cities on the way.
