WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at ST. Louis.

Usually the warmest month of tn,
year, July proved to be one of the mos
pleasant of the Worlds Fair season
the average temperature being 81 de
grees, a record lower than that made
by either Boston, New York, Philadel
phia, Cincinnati or Chicago. The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures in st. Louis during July
were just between the extremes re.
corded at New Orleans and st. Paul
cities located at great variance.
August in st. Louis is month of
cool nights, and September and Octo.
Der are the most delightful months OF
the year 1t is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds linger to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con-
unent Is there a spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city, garden

tains.
. st. Louis. like all cities, experienced
several hot days during July. but her
highest temperature recorded was 90
degrees against "a degrees registered
by the thermometer at Chicago. On
the same day the mercury rose to s0
degrees in Philadelphia, and scores Of

The Horsepower Unit.

How many folks who talk gllbly
about the horsepower" of mot.
or car know what the horsepower
unit is? Even those who are
aware that this unit represents
the force that will raise $4,000
pounds one foot per minute prob.
ably do not know that this con.
siderdbly exceeds what the aver
age horse can do, and that the
hgures were settled by James
Watt about a century ago in a
curious fashion. Watt, in his
usual careful manner, had calcu-
lated what the average horse in
his nelghborhood could do, and
he found that the raising of %, 900
pounds per foot per minute was
about the actual horsepower. At
the time he was engaged in the
manufacture of engines, and had
almost monopoly of the engine
building trade. Customers were
so hard to find that all kinds of
artificial encouragements were
considered necessary to induce
power users to buy steam en-
gines. AS d method of encour.
aging business, Watt offered to
sell engines reclkoned $4,000 foot
pounds to horsepower, or one.
half more than the average. And
thus what was intended as a TEN.
porary expedlentto promote busi.
ness was the means of giving a
false unit of a very important
measurement to the world.

Charlotte RIIlot's HYMN,

Some fifty years ago that en-.
lnent minister, the Rev. Caesar
Malan, of Geneva, was a guest of
the Elliotts, well.to.do family in
the West End of London.
One evening, in conversation
with the daughter, Charlotte, he
wished toknow ifshe was q Christ.
ian. The young lady resented
his question, and told him that
religion was a matter which she
did not wish to discuss. Mr..
Malan replied, with his usual
sweetness of manner, that he
would not pursue the subject then
If it dlspleased her, but he would
pray that she might "give her
heart to Christ, and become a
useful worker for him."
Several days afterwards the
young lady apologlzed for her
abrupt treatment of the minister,
and confessed that his question
and his parting remark had +, CUB.

"But | do not know how to find
Christ" she said, 81 want you to
help me-"
Come to him just as you are"
SAID Mr.. Malan.
He little thought that one day
that simple reply would be re.
peated in song by the whole
Christian world.
Further advice resulted in Cd.
ening the young lady's mind to
spiritual light, and her lite of de.
vout activity and faith began. She
possessed literary gifts, and, hav.
Ing assumed charge of "i'he
Yearly Remembrancer," on the
death of It's editor, she inserted
several original poems without
her name) In making up her first
umber. One of the poems was
"Just as | am without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bids me come to Thee.

WESTERN TRoTTING.

With six So 900 purses hung up by
western harness racing associations in
1904 the caliber of the racing should be
materially improved, although we can
scarcely agree with the contention
that it will keep all the grand circuit
material in the west. The good west
ern horses that heretofore went down
the big line were in many cases owned
by men who desired a better Opportu-
nifty for speculation through the pool
box, a. condition that is always present
in the grand circuit, and only occa-
sionally is the opportunity for heavy
betting afflicted at the western meet
ings.
For several years past it has been
admitted that racing on the great
western circuit has not been up to it's
former standard. During neither 1901.
1902 nor 1903 did the great western
campaign produce a single 2:10 trot-
ter.
Several performers came close to it,
but not one succeeded in getting a
mark that fast. This might not have
occasioned so much comment had it
not been that previously western pa
irons of harness racing had been ac-
customed to a higher quality of sport.
when such trotters as Alix, Azote,
! Fantasy, Tommy Briton, Caid, Ken
lucky Union, William Penn and Kla-
math, such PAGERS as Star Pointer,
John r. Gentry, Joe Patchen, Robert
J. and many others of extreme speed
at both gaitS, were regular perform
ers at western meetings.
But, having become accustomed to
such sport as horses of this class pro-
vided, the recent lack of it has been
distinctly felt. That racing managers
have determined to restore the cid or
der of things this seasons announce

Young corbett Looking For Fights.

Young Corbett and his manager,
Harry Pollok, have divorced each other,
and now the Denver fighter is looking
after his troubles himself Corbett was
dispfeased because Pollok signed an
agreement for him with Jimmy Britt to
the effect that Corbett would not fight
any one before his match with Britt in
December.
Corbett found that he needed money
His drawing power on the stage was
hurt severely by the decision against
him by -Graney, the San Francisco ref
cree, and so he found that he could sup
port himself only by fighting. He is
now looking for a bout with any of the
leading men of his weight.
IF 1 fight before the Britt match,
says Corbett, land am defeated, Britt
has my ready permission to fight the
winner.
IF 1 fight some good man and win
before the bout with Britt, why, l will
draw a bigger crowd than ever to the
Frisco battle. It's sporting PROPOSE

chances in my favor ten to one.
