Professor Ernst Haeckel's important
work, THE Riddle of the Universe"
has recently been translated into jap
anese, Chinese and Hebrew. At differ
ent times the volume has appeared In
twelve other languages, while more
than 100000 copies of the German
original have been sold.
Rev. John Francis Lee, pastor OF the
Metropolitan African Methodist Epis-
copal Zion Church, OF Norfolk. Va, is
attracting much attention In the South
as poet, many believing that he Is the
coming negro poet Of America, taking
up the minstrel harp dropped by the
late Paul Laurence Dunbar.
The Russian military commander,
Gen. Kuropatkin, has finished his his
torical work In relation to the causes
OF the Russian defeat In the far east
and the English translation will doubt
less soon be got under way. Gen. Ku-
ropatkin undertakes to prove that his
plans were repeatedly upset by r.. 'r,
from St Petersburg.
The astonishing lact has just come
to light that Professor Richard Car
nett, librarian OF the British Museum,
who died recently. for years had de-
voted much time to the black art OF
astrology. Even more extraordinary is
the circumstance that the business men
OF New York and other cities regular
ly consulted him regarding contempla-
ted ventures.
The novel-reader who fondly believes
that his tavorite "refreshers' are Of

simple Method of Determining Lew
els the Farm.
A very simple way OF roughly deter
mining levels, and one which can read
lily be practlced by any one, and which
has the advantage Of not requiring any
special apparatus, is by means Of
spirit level and a board with straight
edge, says Farming. The way to go
about 1t is this: First determine on
two points the levels OF which you wish
to determine, and drive stakes into the
ground. Then take a board with
straight edge and tack II to a tree, II
one happens to be available In a line
with these two stakes; otherwise drive
a third stake into the ground. Put the
board at such a height that you can
readily sight over II, and carefully
level this board by means OF the spirit
level. Then sight over 1t toward one
of the stakes. having some one at that
stake who will by means OF small
piece OF paper locate the point at which
your line Of vision cuts lt-in other
words, where line projected from
your sighting board would strike the
stake. Make some sort Of a mark at
this point. and then sight to the other
stake Ia the same way, and mark the
point where the line would strike It.
BY measuring distances that these
two points are above the ground you
can get the difference In levels with
reasonable accuracy. For instance. II

"a GROW GOLD LIKE POTATOES"
Crs Be- sontinued.i

Californian Claims TO Have Found
Process All Men Have Sought.
When Basil Yalentia, in the Middle
Ages, published "The Trlumphal Ca
reer OF Anthony" most OF the then
known world thought he had discov-
cred a way for making gold, but his
claims were false. From different
standpoint, here In California to-day,
a similar claim is made.
In the shadow OF the statue OF
Marshall, the discoverer OF gold in
California, Sacramento assayer, ].
Addison Marshall by name. has work
ed for years on the fascinating prob
lem OF the artificial production or
growth" OF gold. He thinks he has
solved the problem on plain, scientific
lines. He contends that he can read
lily demonstrate the artificial growth OF
gold from the eliminated crystal, Just
as the potato develops from the cell;
that he can produce gold from silver
and iron with the incidental produe-
ton OF mercury and copper.
Marshall, who was In the city to-
day, says the San Francisco Examln-
er, claims to be able to produce in
dubltable proof that gold and silver
can be grown from the base minerals
and earths in the same way that vege-
tables are grown, save that metals
grow by the formation OF that little
understood object, the crystal, instead
OF by the building up OF cells.
He calls his new discovery the dy-
nolectric system. In his opinion. IL
will cause a revolution in gold get
ting. 1t is system OF combining the
forces OF heat, electricity and chemi-
cal action whereby the precious met
ais are obtained In paying quantities
from sources never before suspected.
II involves the analysis and appllca-
ton OF the same laws OF nature which
placed the precious metals In the
earths crust. In giving an outline OF
his experiments. Mr.. Marshall said:
"In a very early experiment, which
was strictly chemical, l found gold
and silver appear in the earthly matter
upon which was experimenting,
which could not be found or accounted
for by accepted methods; that is to
say, the fire assay and the chemical
analysis. With these metals also ap-
peared a certain form OF red iron
which amalgamated with mercury,
which ordinary iron does not do.
learned later that this was iron in a
process OF change to the precious met
ais.

chemical element and said It could
go no further; but would not analogy
indicate that even elements have
grown from simple matter1 Be that
as It may, 1t is easily demonstrated
by the dynolectric that the molecules
OF gold or silver can be grown the
same as horses or potatoes grow,
save that II is by the production OF
that unexplained organization, the
crystal, while animals and vegetables
grow by the addition OF cells. Thil
is why the results Of the earths ant
ores treated by dynolectric show an In
crease In the yield for thirty, sixty
and sometimes even ninety days after
the treatment and until the chemical,

NEIL WAS WHIPPED.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug S.-Harry Baker of San Francisco. amateur featherweight champion. and Frankie Neil, fought twenty rounds before the Pacific Athletic club here last night, and Baker was awarded the decision. Tommy Burns refereed the bout and his verdict in favor of Baker was loudly cheered. When the decision was against him, Neil stood in the center of the ring dombfounded. He then rushed to his corner loudly pro- testing and denouncing the decision.
 Neil showed severe marks of the encounter. His right eye was badly battered and swollen and his left eye and mouth also showed evidence of having had received hard punches. Baker showed no mark at the con clusion of the fight. They were both strong. The fight was at catch weights.

DeDositors Say Funds Have Been Taken From Deposit Boxes-yice President Arrested-Hope
 of Settlement,

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Theodore Stems land, vice president of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, was arrested on charge of violating the banking laws of the state. Earlier in the day the in- stitution was placed in the hands of receiver. and Paul O. Stensland, presi- dent of the bank and father of the Sice president, together with Cashier Herring, were officially declared fugi- ttvss from justice and their personal descriptions placed in the hands of the rulics throughout the country. This aetioa was taken by the authorities sSter developments had shown that the finances of the failed institution were in deplorable condition and had been for a number of years. Besides the discovery of many Irregularities in the management of the bank it was also found that even the safety deposit boxes owned and rented by the bank had been tempered with and rided.
 The specific charge on which Theo- dore Stensland was arrested was that of having accepted deposits at the bank when he knew the institution to be insolvent. The arrest was made in tho office of Chief Of Police Collins. where stensland had gone to confer with the hesi of the police depart ment.
 The warrant for the arrest of the vice president was sworn by J. r. Straub, q liquor dealer. who declared that last Saturday he deposited $50 in the bank ard that Theodore Stensland as one of the officers of the institution End knowledge then that the bank was inSoivent. StTaub contends that the vice president should have notified the acting officers Of the bank not to re ccive any deposits. but that this had ..Jt been done. and his money was .aSen ia violation of the banking jaws.

BRITT WANTS TWO BATTLES.

Here's a word or two from J. w. Coffroth, out in Frisco. Quoting Jimmy Britt, Coffroth says:
 "I am going to make two more fights before the close of the year, and one of them will be Nelson if he will take me on before he boxes Cans. If Cans defeats him I will fight the latter, but only under those circumstances. Then, win or lose with Cans, still want to fight Nell son.
 This decision seems to be ire vocable. I have been busy for two weeks endeavoring to secure Britt's consent to box Eddie Hanlon, which would be an extremely strong card in Frisco. but without success. Should Britt change his mind and agree to box Lewis, will be pleased to communicate with you.
 "No doubt Hanlon would meet Lewis, but it would hardly be q strong enough card here. It seems to me that the only way to get any big money is to match Britt and Ne!- son with some one, as they are stroDs; cards"

as the examiners go deeper into the books. President Stensland loaned money to himself. it is alleged, by the subterfuge of having employees sign notes. Specific instances came to light during the day of the footing of the safety deposit boxes. One in particu- lar to which the attention of the police was called was that of Mrs. Lydia Herman, who declared that S150 of her funds had been taken.
 The clearing house committee is sparing no effort to bring the missing president to justice. Handwriting ex- perts, it is said, will be put to work al once upon the case to establish the evi- dence of forgery.

AL KAUFMAN
 IS A FIGHTER
He Put Bradley Out in Fifth Round Last Night - Britt and
 His Battles.

Chelsea. Mass, Aug S.-Fully l.
 900 persons crowded into the Lin- coin club arena. last night, and they witnessed red hot bout, in which Al Kaufman of California defeated Fred Bradley in five rounds. The match was warm one from the start and developed into a slugging affair pure and simple. Kaufman was much the largest in every way and his weight told in the clinches.
 In the first round Kaufmann start ed the blood flowing from Bradley's nose with straight left hand jab, the local man depending upon a heavy right hand for the body to bring home the victory. In the sec ond round Bradley showed to better advantage and the match was grand one from the spectators point of view. In the third round Kauf- mann's left eye was split open by Bradley's head when they came to- gether for clinch. The blood poured down and Bradley was encouraged and made wild onslaught on .he Californian.
 In the fourth round the bout be- came very tame, Katfmann acted tired from his efforts, and Bradley made good showing with shower of left and right hand punches. At the end of the round the crowd was cheering wildly for Bradley
 The end came in the fifth round. Bradley made a desperate rush. but Kaufmann was with him and went at his antagonist like tiger. He forced him into Bradley's own cor ner, and by series of savage upper cuts he made Bradley groggy. With a smashing left he drove Bradley to the floor, where he was counted ont by Referee Flaherty. Kaufmann plays a theatrical date at Philadel- phia next week and then goes to Los where he meets Tommy Burns on September 4.
