HerrerA's Record.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Los Angeles, Cal, May 25.-Never
in this city has more interest been
taken in a pugilistic encounter than is
now manifested regarding the light
weight championship contest tonight
between Battling" Nelson, the Dane,
and Aurelia Herrera, the Mexican.
Despite the misgivings felt some time
ago because OF the unwarranted call
ing off of the Mystic Shrine conclave
and the consequent diminution of the
crowd of visitors expected to be in
Los Angeles at the time of the fight,
there is now every reason to believe
that the Pacific Athletic clubs pa
vilion will be well filled when the
little fighters crawl through the ropes
tonight to engage in their twenty
round bout
So far as the critics are able to
judge there is little to choose between

sparrow that was born blind, without
any apparent eyes: ut was found,
evidently fallen from a nest, and was
fed and put into a greenhouse with a

Both old birds were promptly on the

its kind friends, who supplement the

to the Electrical Review, by the pow

the Review, exactly on the meridian,
about a mile south of the observatory,

q small part of its complement, the
entire equipment will have an output
Of over $4,000 horsepower. Already
some disturbance has resulted from

from the operation of certain
generating units, and the OBJ

the matter before parliament,

its longitude from Greenwich, all the
world will share in the wonder that
the British government vas so inert
as to allow a power station to be put
where it will interfere with important
scientific work.

LANGUAGE Of Alrshlns.

There is a squabble as to the cor
rect name for flying machines, air
ships and balloons, and the Aero club
of France attempts to set the matter
straight. "Aearonef" describes a fly.
ing machine heavier than air; that is,
an apparatus having no gas bag.
"Aeronefs" are divided into several
classes: "Helicoptera," machines de.
pending on screws for flight; aero.
planes" machines propelled by the
tapping of wings. The expression
aviator very often incorrectly EN-.
ployed, should be applied only to the
pilot of an 'aeronef," as "aernonaut'
