KEYNES sYsoNBY.

From the New York Sun.
 Every true sportsman loves great racehorse, but in praising one he avoids the language of exaggeration. In the sta ble of Mir. James R. Keene, the vice chairman of the Jockey club. is a royalty hred young racer called Sysonby. Since the chains were lowered at the eastern racetracks the star of this fieetfooted thoroughbred has been in the ascendent. He has met all who came to tilt with him, and with one exception all have been defeated with ridiculous ease. Wfsn the sun went down on his victory in the Realization stakes at the Sheepshead Bay course on Tuesday men cut loose the ad- jectives to express the opinion that Sy- sonby is the greatest thoroughbred that ever looked through a bridle.
 The veteran turfmen and the keen sportsmen were more moderate in their praise of this splendid son of Melton. Their way of saying their say was the quieter one. They had narrowly watched he colt as he was prepared for the race in the paddock, and when they saw how he ran and won, "A great colt, that was what they said, as they offered their congratulations to the Jockey clubs vice. chairman.
 In Sysonby MT. Keene undoubtedly has a splendid racehorse. He has done all that has been asked to do, and done 1t so splendidly that he would be churl who did not acknowledge his speed and his stamina. But the eastern racing season is still young, and Sysonby has other rivals to meet and master.
 Sysonby ran fine race on the Fourth of July, but 1t could hardly be said to have been a great race. His most for midable competitor could never get near himself The time for the mile and three-quarters was 2:sI. Two years ago Africander. Star Ruby's greatest son, ran the same distance a second and four fifths faster than did Sysonby. Yet nobody proclaimed Africander to be ''the horse of the century" or even the horse of a decade. Perhaps Sysonby could have broken the record had Tanya, MT. Whitney's beautiful daughter of Meddler, been better of foot. The fact is. however, that the record is still Afri- cander's, and what Sysonby can do in the way of record smashing will be known when he breaks some.
 There are other thoroughbreds of his own and other ages for this fine young colt to beat before his title to aboslute supremacy of the American turf can be established. There Is Artful. commonly accountd to be the greatest of the great of Hamburg, who beat Sysonby in last years Futurity, and there are Ort Wells, fresh from his victory in the ..rignton mile, and Hermis and Stalwart and Irish Lad. if ever again they go to the races.

From the Washington Star.

AoaAA iAS " AsHlngton Star
 H HERE has been in this country NY for some time past one of the
 greatest scientists of the age. a Portuguese priest who has made discov- cries which place him in the front rank of the astronomers of the world. This Is Rev. Father M. A. G. Himalava of the archdiocese of Braga. Portugal Father Himalaya came to thls country to erect "pyrheliophor' at the St. Louis World s fair. He is devoting his time to study and research and makes his home at present in Washington, where, in addi- tion to his scientific work he acts as tenn porory chaplain at the Visitation con- vent on Connecticut avenue. as well as assisting at St. Matthew's church.
 The international jury of awards at the Worlds fair last year gave Father Hima- laya the grand prize the highest recogni- tion accorded any exhibitor. His inven- tion, the pyrheliophor, attracted more att tention and was more honored than any other instrument in the group of physical and astronomical devices. The pyrhelio- phor is sun machine" and, briefly stated, it is an instrument which meas ures the heat of the sun, moon and stars It is doubtful if, in the popular mind radiated heat is ever associated with any planet except the sun; yet Father Hima- laya's invention has made possible the exact measurement of heat from the moon and stars. as well as discovering that hitherto indefinable extreme opposite of absolute zero now known through this priest-scientist's demonstrations as "su- preme degree"
 Father Himalaya is an interesting char acter, a man absolutely devoted to his work He holds his science as sacred. as is shown by his refusal to allow his sun machine to be moved to the east from St. Louis, where it still stands to be used for exhibition purposes.
 There are only three other pyrheliophors in the world, two at Paris and one at Lisbon. The experiments made with these have been revelations to science. With the instrument at St. Louis Father Him. alaya generated heat to 6S00 degrees Fahrenheit. After the close of the fair he spent over a month at night experi- ments testing the heat from the moon

HOW TO ENJOY VACATION.

From the New York Herald
 The vacation season is now here in all the fitness of ripe fruition. Every one who can get away seeks the rest and recreation within his reach. The Ameri- can is said to be the greatest picnicker in the world. The wealthy man has his town and country house, his pleasure yacht, his annual trip abroad, his auto mobile excursion and makes pleasure as much a real business as trading in stocks, manipulating mergers or managing life insurance companies
 Each person, however must interpret his own needs in this respect and duly consider his individual necessities. Leisure for the worker means radical change of all his usual habits. Recreation is the very opposite of routine. It is unlosng the bow string, no matter .how it may have been tied.
 The strain of hurry is, after all at the bottom of most of our tire. The one who lives by train time, in daily or week ly trips to his rusticating family, works harder for his vacation than if he would stay at home permanently and take his spare play spells piecemeal Every sub urbanite knows this. The way he excuses his methods is the proof of the necessity for so doing.
 The real thing is to get away entirely and stay away long enough to digest our leisure and pleasurably enjoy it's fruits.
 A brain expert has said that what the ordinarily tired man most needs is plenty of sleep. The early to. bed habit of the farmer should thus appeal to the exhaust ed city man and his wornout helpmate
 Poets have never tired in extolling the virtue of the morning air. To bask proper 1y in sunlight is cultivated accomplish ment. To one also who has lively absorb ing propensities every other enjoyment of rural life gives charm and profit to his opportunities. Mind and body reach out for the subtle, far reaching and com fort giving influences of the changed en- vironment and sweet rest and absence of care come like food for the hungry and like water to him who thirsts.
 It is question If all, by mountain, sea- shore, hill or dale, forest or stream, duly appreciate these advantages so prodigal- ly offered them. Let us hope they are making the most of what they have

ADVICE TO THE YOUNG.

From the New fork Times. Speak kindly to the elephant
 And gently to the whale. And when you meet the jaguar
 Please do not yank his tail. Respect the tigers feelings, dear.
 His whiskers do not pull; Oh, let your hear with kindliness
 Be ever, ever full. Oh, do not pinch the python.
 or punch the rattlesnaKe, If you should hurt the corba,
 His little heart would break. Don't stick pins in the crocodile
 Or irritate the yak; Pray do not bruise the polar bear
 By pounding on his back. Don't make the Hon cry, my child,
 By walking on his toes: Nor slight the hippopotamus
 By standing on his nose. For all good children. you must know Each morning gladly sing: 'Oh, help me to be considerate
 Of every living thing"

CANAL DISCUSSION.
Senator Morgan Thinks Two Canals
Will Be Needed.

Washington.-The Senate spent four
hours Friday in discussing the Panama
canal emergency appropriation bill,
and when it adjourned the bill was still
under consideration. There were set
speeches by Messrs. Teller, Scott and
Morgan, and they were followed by a
general debate in which all phases of
the controversy were exploited. includ-
ing salaries, control of the Panama
railroad and the necessity for general
legislation on the canal subject.
Scott and Morgan wanted canal on
the San Bias route.
Mr.. Allison, chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations. expressed
the opinion that Congress should take
up the question of salaries in connec-
ton with other canal legislation. He
also said that the status of the Pan
anna railroad should be made the sub
ject of legislation.
Messrs. Teller. Scott and Morgan ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the con-
ditions in Panama, but all indicated a
determination to support the supply
measures necessary to secure the con-
struction of the canal as at present un-
dertaken.
Mr. Teller advocated a sea level ca
nal; Mr.. Scott spoke in support of the
San Bias route as preferable to all
others, and Mr.. Morgan expressed the
opinion that before the Panama canal
is completed another canal will be nee
essary to do the business required.
A separate bill regulating the issu-
ance of bonds for the canal and plac-
ing them on the same basis as other
government bonds was passed without
debate.
