AMONG The PUes

It must have been the dickens OF
a mixup at Palouse, Wash, Satur-
day night, from all reports. Kid
Harrison claims he knocked out
Louie Long with a right poke on
the jaw in the 14th round. Jack
Kearns, who refereed, says Long
fell from a blow in the groin, and
after a doctor had examined Long
he gave the decision against Harri-
son on foul. Harrison returns to
town with a letter from DR.. G. W..
Brandon, Of Palouse, saying Long
was uninjured from any foul, but
that 1t was a blow on the stomach
followed by another on the jaw that
was responsible for the blonde
boys condition. Perhaps the next
time Long boxes he will do little
training. He didn't train a day
for Harrison, a man who Is danger
Gus to almost any boxer of his
weight. Harrison is one Of those
chaps who at times does brilliant
work. The Long match was a
repetition of the Scaler-Harrison
bout at the S. A. A. C. when Harri-
son crawled all over the Italian.
Harrison wants another match with
Long and will allow the latter to
make his own terms.

ABSOLUTE ZERO.

The Line as Lnvarylng as the Point
Ing of the Pole Needle.
The zero of absolute temperature has
long been indicated rs a mysterious and
important point in two ways. The first
is the contraction of gases, which In ali
known gases operates uniformly as the
temperature is lowered AS long as
they retain the gaseous state gases
shrink ia volume so uniformly with
each added degree of cold that an ex
act, unvnrying line of diminishing vol
ume is established. This line is as I'M
varying rs the pointing Of the needle to
the north pole. 1t cannot be explained
any more than the action of the needle
can be explained. As every gas Is
cooled, however, degree by degree il
points unerrngly by the law of dimin-
lshlng proportions To point ut which
its volume would be nothing. Ii the
shrinkage continued, since the proper
ton of loss OF volume never varies, the
gas would shrink 10 nothlngness. 1t
could not do SO, of course, and all
gases sooner or later fall out of the line
by becoming liquid, when the law
ceases to operate. and the proportion of
contraction in volume ceases to be the
same. As long MS they remain gases,

same In all gases-they mechanically

The Way the Death Sentence Is Car
ried Out In England.
The ceremony Of dlsposlng of con
demned spy i'll the English army nj
ways follows definite precedent. The
unfortunate man is surrounded by n
detachment OF infantry, and after he
is provided with pick and shovel lie
is marched or 10 II selected spot and
ordered 10 dig his own grave. This
done. the tools are taken from him
and his eyes are bandaged. The at
tending chaplain reads portions select
ed from the burial service, and from
the ranks of the escort twelve men are
selected at random 10y the officer in
charge These men, having stacked
their own rifles. are led to where twelve
other rifles are awaiting them, six OF
which are loaded with blank cartridges.
one of these Is handed TO each man, so
that no one knows whether the rifle he
holds contains Il bullet or not and none
can say for certain that the shot fired
by him Killed the prisoner. The firing
party then marches to an appointed
position. The commands Present"
,lfireft are given. and almost before
the last word rings out the yolley is
fired aud the spy falls into the grave
he has dug. Nearly every man Is more
or less affected on being selected to
form one of the firing party, and many
men have been known To faint away on
being singled out, while others are so
overcome ms to be scarcely able to pull
the triggers of their rifles.

THE HANDKERCHIEF.

Ii Had Its origin la Venice Ia the
sixteenth Century.
About the year 1540 an unknown
Venetian lady first conceived the happy
idea of carrying ii .'fazZoletto," aud 1t
was not long before her example was
widely followed throughout Italy. The
handkerchief then crossed the Alps into
France where its use was Immediately
adopted by the lords and Indies of
Henry lis court.
The handkerchief of that period was
an article of the greatest luxury. 1t
and was ornamented with the rarest
embr0iderleS la the reign Of Henry
III. II began 10 be perfumcd and re-
celved the maine of .mouchoir de We
nus" Ii was not until 1880 that the
handkerchief made its way into Ger
many. and then its Use was long con-
fined 10 princes and persons Of great
wealth 1t was made the object of
sumptuary laws, and an edlct publish
ell ut Dresden Ia lJ95 forbade its use
by the people al large.
Slowly, bat surely, however, the vul-
garization of the pocket handkerchief
has been accomplished, and today even
the hHmbleSt is superior in one i'm
poftant respect to Petrarch and Laura.
