EARTH GETS BACK GOLD.
Treasures Hidden Away in Buried Receptacles ana Cities of
 Ancient Times.

Gold reverts to the earth in many ways. Treasure troves are being un- earthed constantly, especially in foreign countries and in romantic countries such as Mexico. the Indies and South America, where passions and riches run like the tides, high and low. Isn't it natural that a lovelorn Mexican should bury his treasure rather than think his rival might get it? Many treasures have been buried in the desert. and lone rider at dead of night might be seen in the old days digging up the gold he needed from time to time. The secret was his and his alone. If he should chance to meet death suddenly the se- cret died with him. The excavations that are being made in Greece and Egypt show gold-trimmed ornaments, jewelry and precious stones that have lain for centuries beneath cities whose struggle for gold has oontrasied strangely with the calm wealth lying just below them.
 These treasure troves which come to the surface every year probably repre- sent but a small part of that which has been concealed. and every ship which founders at sea takes a certain amount of gold with it. which may amount to anywhere from a few pounds to mil- lions.

IS NELSON AFRAID?

Battling Nelson has declared for the 'steenth time that he will not fight Joe Cans for the lightweight cham pionsbip of the world. .'I would not have anything to do with that self confessed fakir." said Nelson Satur- day. ''I would not fight him for a million dollars. If I should agree to fight him and there was no knockout everybody would say that we faxed it. Cans admits that he has taken part in crooked fights in New York, Chicago. Detroit and Frisco. I have fought Dinety-fiye battles and all of them have been on the level. If beat Cans would gain nothing. while if I lost 1t would mean everything to ne" In spite of the reasons set forth by Nelson it Is the prevailing impress sion among sporting men who saw the Battler in his mill with McGoveTn that Cans would beat him fin fight for the championship. If Nelson's showing with Mctioyern was fair sample of his skill. ring experts de clare that Cans. who Is wonderful fighter. would put it all over the Dane. Possibly Nelson and his shrewd man. ager. Nolan. are aware of this fact and are acting accordingly. Nelson cannot justly proclaim himself light weight champion until he has defeat- cd Cans. the holder of the title. 1t would have been easier for Nelson to draw the color line than resort to the fakir excuse. as nearly every fighter in the ring today has taken part in one or more fake contests.

MCTOR-cAR MECHANISM.
Propulsive Power Is Obtained Through the Process of
 Explosion.

The working principle of the motor which has given the automobile this wonderful new life is, roughly, the principle of the rife, says the Amer ican Illustrated Magazine. The charge of gas is the equivalent of the gun powder, and the piston is the bullet; the gas is exploded and the piston flies forward, and the piston rod delivers it's motion to the crank shaft of the steam engine. In the steam engine the steam works against both sides of the piston; in two revolutions of the fiy- wheel the steam presses against the piston four times. In the explosion engine, according to the prevailing system, the gas operates against oniv one side of the piston tthe end of the cylinder through which the piston rod works is completely open). and there is an explosion but once in two reyo- lutions of the fiywheel-thst is, thers is but a single explosion to four moye- ments of the piston. Those four move ments are the power stroke tcaused by the explosion in the cylinder). which supplies the energy to drive the automobile and the force required to complete the three non-power strokes; second, a backward stroke whica pushes the exploded gases out of the chamber through a valve which opens for this purpose: third, a forward stroke which sucks the charge of gas into the chamber through an inlet valve, and, fourth. backward stroke which congresses the gas, for com pression is necessary to secure the best energy of the gas. The fifth stroke Is the first stroke over agsin-the gas ex- plodes and the piston shoots bulletlikc forward.

THE PUGlLISTS
TWIN SULLIVAN GETS A WHIP
 PING FROM JOE CANS.
Fight Was Stopped When Sullivan Was Almost Out in Tenth
 Round.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 19.--With two knockouts and draw over Mike fTwin) Sullivan, Joe Cans has settled all further disputes as far as ring battles 20 between the two. Tie col Ored fighter gave the Boston welter- weight hard beating Saturday night and while Sullivan was not counted out in the tenth round, he was on the floor and helpless when the police in- structed the referee to end the fight.
 Cans made a splendid showing. wearing down his opponent with q straight left body punch that never failed to land. and which had Sulll- vans ribs in red glow from waist to shoulder all through the fight.
 Sullivan appeared to have chance to win ill the third round when he landed hard right swing on Cans jaw, staggering him and forcing him to cover up for the remainder of the round. There was no infighting. the men agreeing to break clean and 10 avoid fighting in the clinches. Barring the one blow in the third round Sulli- van failed to land effectively on Cans.
 The fight was held at Chute's base ball park, the ring being pitched di- rectly in front of the grand stand. It was one of the coldest nights of the winter and probably 1900 spectators shivered for two hours before the fighters appeared The delay was caused it is said, by Sulliyan's unwill- ingness to fight before such small house.
 Before the fight began Referee King announced that because Sullivan was six pounds over weight both contest ants agreed that all bets be declared of and that if both were on their feet at the end of twenty rounds the fight should be called draw.

NO MORE, SAYS HUMPHREYS.

Battling Nelson and Terry McGov- ern have been offered chance to meet again in a six round bout in Philadel- phia in the near future but it is very doubtful if they will. Joe Humphries, Terry's manager, made the statement last night that the recent bout be- tween the two little fighters did lot of harm to the sport, and may kill fighting in the Quaker city.
 Humphrles planes the ,concoctsd 'fiifes for all the dissatisfaction fhdt has been manifested over last Wed nesday nights affair and says that he would not let McGovern go into the ring again unless under straight Mar auis of Queensbury's rules. with the referee vested with the right 10 sep arate the men in clinches. The ad- vantage taken of close infighting pre- vented a memorable fight of tire spec tacular kind, Humphries thinks.

WRESTLING
LITTLE FELLOWS ARE HURLNG
 MANY CHALLENGES.
Forfeits Posted and Demanded. But as Yet No Matches Are
 Made.

The wrestlers who take part usu- ally in the preliminary contest down in the Simonsville Athletic club are in squabble among themselves just at the present time. Some weeks ago Jack Brennan, through his manager, Teddy Hart, challenged George Gresham and posted forfeit of $25. Gresham later posted a forfeit of S10. Both these forfeits are still up, but to-day Manager Harty asked to have his forfeit pulled down, as he says the match between Brennan and Gresham is of. The Young Turk is after Brennan this morning and has posted a s5 forfeit to wrestle him the best two out of three falls at the weight, 129 pounds. In the mean time Young Riley or Donahue or German. # is hard to tell which, so mixed up are the challenges. are looking for the scalps of all the oth- ers, and a merry war is on between them. Perhaps all these prelim- iparies will be strengthened out by March 29. when the next tournament is given at the Simonsyille Athletic club rooms.
