SOMETHING ABOUT PAINT.

The use of silex (rock crystal quartz specially ground by peculiar process, forty years ago was something new. 1 To-day it is ccepted by the best paint chemists and scientists generally, as a necessary article in paint To make it wear we'll. Thousands of dollars are i being expended in advertising the use of this article in paint, by manufac- turerS. The evidence of the dura- l bility of silex paints has been too strong to be resisted. Florida is one of the most severe climates for paint, and what will stand in Florida will stand anywhere. Please note the following extracts from letter just received from MT F. $. Curl, Deputy Sheriff of Alachua County. A rcher, Fla.
 Il am practical painter, and have been using your Breinig's Lithogen Silicate Paint for about fifteen years, so l know pretty we'll what it. is. A large dealer has test job of the paint of two prominent paint manufacturers, both being used on the same building. This paint was guaranteed to stand five years. l wish you could see this test job. l have used both these paints and know what they are, hut when they guarantee them for tive years, would like to have them see my own house which painted with Breirig's White Silicate Faint eight years ago. and there is no break in the paint to-day. Better still, 1 painted my neighbours house with two coats of BreiDig'S White silicate Paint, and repaiGted it again just l2 years and one month after, and 1t was not in very bad condition when l painted it last.

AN PROLOGUE,
SELECTED BY ROSS JEWELL.

At the end of the first week four men stood before God watching the little world which he had just set spinning in space. 'How was it nader" asked the first; "Give 1t to me-" said the second; "What's it for?" inquired the third; but the fourth fell on his face and worshipped, then arose and made another world like the former one. The first man was the scientist, the second the man of affairs, the third the philosopher, and the fourth the artist.

HUNTING PARTY
LIVES IN AUTO
Boston Party Has Machine Fit
ted With ConvenienceS for
Camping Out.

This is the season of the year when
every man who knows how to use a gun
and has a good dog loves to get out in
the woods on hunting trips. A party of
well-known Boston sportsmen has just
started on an expedition of this sort, us
ing a hunting automobile as means OF
transportation by day and for shelter at
night says the Boston Herald. The
members of the party are Roy a Faye,
Freeman N Young. T. NJ Archer and
Dr. Albert II. futile. Faye is the New
England distributing agent for the Math-
eson Motor Car company, and he has mad
a fOrty-hOrSepower car of this make re-
modelled for the hunting trip.
The car from the extreme front of the
frame is thirteen and a half feet long,
three feet wide at the bottom, four and
half feet at center, four feet wide at
top. The front part of the top extends
out from the hood for several reasons,
for example, to protest from rain while
driving and when camping to hang
their clothes on when they retire, also
TO attach a piece of canvas on. which,
when extended. reaches fourteen feet in
front of the machine. When it is staked
down and the side curtains pulled out "A
camp twenty-Seven and a half feet long
is provided.
Two feet from the floor of the chassis
are placed the irons for the two hunks
on the sides of the car. each two feet
wide and six feet six inches long. Above
these hunks are two more of the same di-
mensiOns Back of the drivers seat the
provisions are carried in tin boxes made
especially to fit this space. There is an
ice box that slides under the chassis.

CANS GENEROUS
WITH HERMAN
Siler Thinks He Is Lucky to Get
That TOnopah Fight With
Champion.
BY GEORGE SIIER.

Kid Herman is the happiest pugilst i'm
the country, thanks to the generosity of
lightweight champion Joe~Gans. The lat
ter held the trump hand in the light
weight pugilistic class and could either
play II or throw it into the discard He
elected to play it against Herman, hence
tne latters happiness. The followers of
the 1lStlc game already know that Cans
and Herman have signed articles to fight
for the championship at Tonopah. New.
ON New Years day for a $40 coo purse of
winch gu per cent will go to the winner
ana 10 per cent TO the loser. The weight
they will battle at is 1873 pounds weigh i'm
Two hours before entering the ring and
what is termed straight Marquis of
Queensberry rules will govern
Cans as champion and the challenged
party was entitled to dictate all OF The
conditions, but he did no debating to
speak OF He first suggested to cut the
money 90 per cent 10 the winner and b
per cent to the loser. but when ne
learned that Herman's manager Nate
Lewis. was willing to accept almost any
conditions he cut the winners end per
cent and added it to the losers end. This
was liberal and showed the stuff the
champion is made of. Joe is under the
Impression that he will beat the Kid
handlly. but he did not let that interfere
WITH his lberality when the question of
splitting the money was preached
According to the cut of the purse. Her
man. should he lose, will receive SS,0o0 and
y1'VvV iloit SltOulu lie WILL 1nlS Is the
largest amount of money he has ever been
given a chance to fight for. Besides, he
Is given the opportunity to battle for
Championship with no flaw in the title
Ehe kid has been troubled with the cham
plonShip bee over year, ever since he
beat Eddie HanlOn and held the clever
and Shifty Abe Attell and the hard-hitting
Aureiio Herrera to twenty-round draws
Those who are not personally acquainted
with Herman or have not kept in close
touch with his fighting naturally figure
that Cans will experience no difficulty i'm
beating him. This is because ice is known
the world over as the clevereSt champion
of recent years.
Herman and his adherents think other
wise. They know the Kid is going TO
in the business but they figure that Cans
is crawling along in years and that sooner
or later he will go under. and this may be
the time. They also believe that Herman
X in the prime of life, that is figuring
from pugilistic standpoint; that he has
met a man equally as clever and as good
hitter Joe, and did not break worse
than even. They know the Kid is as
game as they turn them out; that he has
an enormous capacity for punishment, and
that he has a better knowledge of the fine
POINTS of the game than Nelson. They
rightfully claim that Joe failed to knock
they ask why should he have cinch on
licking Herman? The latter can hit as
hard as can Nelson, is much more diff
cult to get at because of his stature. and
therefore is conceded an excellent chance.
The date of the fight still is a long way
off. and the doping out of it still matter
of guess work

Mceinnity Has Different Idea.

Joe McGinnity. who probab~- has given
as much thought to the art of pitching
as any man living. maintains that rule
makers have been working on the wrong
theory since the foundation of our ma
tiOnaI game.
THE idea OF moving the pitcher back
to give the batter an advantage was err
roneous in the first place says the Iron
Man. LAS an evidence of this, the min
ute they moved US back the more effec-
tive we became. II they should move the
harder to hit than ever. provided his arm
the plate.
"A logical answer to this is that the
pitcher should have been kept closer. Just
why this fact should maintain is hard to
explain, but in my opinion the long dis
lance gives the pitcher a better chance to
break curves where he wants to. The
natural fall of ball toward the center
of gravity is also very deceptive to the
eye. When pitchers threw the ball al
fifty feet it kept more on straight line,
and wide curves were almost impossible
as they didn't break soon enough. In
other words, the 'batters eye could follow
a ball at a distance of fifty feet better
than he could at sixty.
"A good instance of this inability to hit
ball thrown from a long distance >
continued McGinnity. lis shown wher
you see batter try to hit one back that
| is thrown in from the field in practice
Some day you watch that and see how
many they can hit on line.
Il don't know exactly what ought II
be done, but if they are thinking of put.
ting the pitcher further back they are
working on the wrong theory"

SPAIN MAKES AUTOMOBILES
Single Factory There Is Rapidly
Coming to Front With Mod
ern Machines.

There is only one automobile manufac-
tory in Spain, but that is a good one, and
is rapidly taking possession of the Span
ISL market. 1t is the COmpania Hispano-
SuiZo of Barcelona. The chief engineer
and the man who founded the company
is Swiss. Less than three years ago he
succeeded in getting the necessary capt.
tai for establishing the business and the
enterprise was successful from the begin
ming. Last year. besides spending large
sums in enlarging the works and in all
sorts of bettermentS, the company paid
its stockholders II per cent net dividend.
The Spanish company is undoubtedly
making first-class automobiles. Until this
year 1t turned out only fourteen to eight
cen horsepower and twenty to twenty
four horsepower machines. This year,
however. it has begun to make forty
horsepower cars and has delivered five
or six of these within the past month.
The secret of quick success lies in the
fact that the machines were built with an
eye to use on the bad roads of Spain. In
no well-knoWn country of Europe are the
roads generally so bad as in Spain.
