GREAT CYCLE CONTEST
$4,000 PRESENT IN NEW YORK AT
O'CLOCK THIS MORNING.

NEW YORK, December ALL through
the night thousands of persons sat In the
high balconies In Madison Square Garden
watching the ceaseless grind of the six
day bicyclists, which began at midnight
and will continue throughout the week.
At the start it was estimated that $4,000
persons were crowded around the track.
At o'clock this morning no less than
$4,000 remained in their seats, and when
daylight broke nearly half that number
upon the oval where the apparently tire
less riders were plugging along. Only
once during the night was there anything
approaching serious accident. Just be-
fore o'clock seven riders became
tangled during a squirt around the dam
gerous 10th street turn and men and ma
chimes were sent flying down the steep
sides Of the board track
Luckily only one Of Them Gougoltz of the
SWlss-Itallan team, was hurt. He imme-
diately resumed the race, without giving
physicians time to examine his injuries, but
before he had ridden five minutes the other
riders saw that he was losing his strength
Immediately they began to squirt In order
to secure a lead on him.
The immense crowd In an instant realized
the situation, and as Gougotz slowly drop
ped behind the flying crowd, with his wheel
at times jerking dangerously to one side as
he, in a condition of semi-colapse leaned
over the bars, but always riding gamely.
the spectators howled their disapproval Of
the ;tction of the other riders. Gougoltz
kept up the unequal struggle several min
utes, losing two laps before he tainted on
his wheel and rolled to the bottom Of the
saucer track. 1t was then found that he
had broken rib His partner Vanoni i'm
mediately took the vacant place and made

ELpcrR1cAL EXPERIMENTS.
Notable Results Reported by Prof.
Bancroft Of California

BERKELEY, Cal, December 4-Prof.
Frank W. Bancroft of the department OF
physiology at the University OF California
has just completed some important expert
ments on the effects Of electrical currents
on sea life, and has issued the results in a
bulletin entitled "On the Validity OF Plu-
gers Law for the ~Galvanotropic Reactions
of Paramecium.
Dr. Bancroft has succeeded in demon
strating that the ella covering the body OF
the paramecium and the cause of its loco
motion respond to electrical stimulation by
changing the direction of their movement.
When an electric current passing through
water containing the paramenesis is inter
rupted the ella reverse their beat on that
end of the animal which is nearer the anode
or poitive pole. When the current is made
again, and during its flow. only ella on the
end nearer the cathode of negative pole re-
verse. These results are in strict accord
with the law formulated by Pluger for the
phenomena of muscular contraction under
electrical stimulation.
