Bascom and HE Students.

John BascoIl, once president Of the
University Of Wisconsin. always had
a keen insight into men, and for much
OF his life college students constituted
mankind for him. Once when he was
a class officer the names of two men
were read by him as absent from
morning prayers. One Of them, a pie
fist, stopped at his desk and said:
professor. when the chapel bell was
ringing l was engaged in prayer and
did not hear it."
You're not excused" responded
John. with contempt in his eye and
10 his voice.
Then, calling back the other man.
rho was about at the door on his way
but of the room. he saiu to him:
whats your excuse"
II haven't any. SIR"
you're excused
He used to have debates In his class.

Bascom subsequently described as a
"foriating fellow" in the heat of his
eloqueIce said. Il wish that ! had
the ability and the time to exhaust
this subject
You have the time." said Bascom.-

RACE TO PORTLAND.
Eastern Yacht Club Had Good
 Weather and Got Fine Start.

Rockport, Mass, July GA smart westerly breeze blowing of the granite shores of Cape Ann gave the Eastern Yacht club fleet a good start for the second run of the cruise from this port to Portland to-day.
 The course of the run was from ths end of Sandy Bay breakwater to Port land lightship. fifty-fve miles. straightaway course, well off shore and over, familiar waters of the gulf of Maine.
 The starting signals were sounded at S:10 and all of the craft got away during the next few minutes, no time being fixed for individual starts.
 The fleet presented a beautiful spectacle as 1t ran down rapidly with the wind, all the yachts heading about northeast, with boms to star board and the wind over the port quar- ter.

Tommy Burns. chipper and fresh, was about the principal San Francisco resorts last night the cenIer always of a bunch of "I-told-you-sos."
 He repeated what he said after the battle. T plan to take T good rest I will talk about Joe Rogers chal- lenge later. I have not challenged Jefferies, nor do l intend to. It may make good reading matter to quote me as saying so, but I am not going to do anything of the sort-not now
 Referring to Squires he had this to say: T knew all along that would beat this man in a decisive manner. but didn't expect to get away with it in such a hurry. No. don't think much of Squires as a fighter of the American type. though he may do very we'll at the clean break game.
 "I know as soon as he put up his hands that could end it about any time chose and l picked out the first opportunity as the best, because l was afraid that he might have T punch slowed away somewhere and did not want to. take a chance on giving him an opportunity to slip it oyer."

THE PUGiLlST
OLD MAN BOB
 DARK MAN JACK
Fitzsimmons and Johnson to Meet During Elks Week Burns
 Will Take a Rest.

Now that the Burns-Squires fight Is history. the biggest thing on the cards clinched and sure to come off is the battle between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack Johnson in Philadelphia on July IT, during the Elks' carnival week.
 The fight is to take place at the Washington Sporting club, with Billy McCarney in charge, a fact in itself which guarantees fight On the level.
 Fitzsimmons' New York friends will attend in bunch, and to man they believe the great fighter will come home with the bacon.
 Tommy Burns, Mike Shreck, Al Kaufman. Jim Jefferies, all of the heavyweights of prominence, have all passed up Johnson. Two months ago Fitz declared his willingness to meet Johnson in bout of any duration. It was then that McCarney got to work on the match. He never let the cat out of the bag until he landed he pair of them.
 Sam Fitzpatrick, representing John- son, and George Considina. represent ing FitZsimmons, and McCarney, rep resenting the Washington Sporting club, got together a few days ago in the Hotel Metropole and closed the deal. Articles were signed and for feits posted.
 Fitz Is the first man of his class who had the nerve to engage with Johnson in d ring battle. Marvin Hart was the nearest approach to a man of class to engage with Johnson. Several years ago George Gardner met Johnson and was beaten in handy fashion.
 Johnson's one weak spot is his stom- ach. A rupture, which bothered him considerably when real young chap, but of which there is now but a sem- blance, is the cause of the weakness in his stomach. It is the knowledge of this shortcoming which leads Fitz to figure as to his avenue to victory. He is a terrific stomach punlsher and quick to shift from stomach to head in case his opponent is giving too much attention to guarding his stomach.
 The charge is made that Johnson does not relish punishment at any stage of the game. The gameness of Fitzsimmons has never been question: ed. The advantage in youth. which favors Johnson, will be offset by the superior gameness and hitting abil- ity of Fitzslmmons.
 Fitz has fitted up his training quar- and is not sparing himself in his ef- forts to get in good condition. No one realizes better than he that he is going up against a hard one, but he is confident.
 Friends who have watched him go through his training stunts within the past week report that it is really mar vicious the way the young-old mar handles himself. Wednesday he did twelve miles on the road and came back with bellows working evenly and strong.
 If he whips Johnson Fltzsimmon; may be pItted against Burns.

mometer? @ Does not mercury freeze at certain degree of cold, and if so how can lower degree be recorded?
 A. The lowest temperature ever obtained was 493 degrees below zero. This was obtained by Prof James Dewar while experimenting in lique- flying gases. @ Mercury congeals at 40 degrees below zero. Lower tenn peratures are measured by other forms of thermometer employing gas, alchol or ether.

 A. In June, 1904, the Kaiser Wil- helm II made the trip from New York to Plymouth in five days, eleven hours and 59 minutes. In May Of last year E. H. Hartman, in Union Pacific special, traveletd from San Francisco to New York in two days, twenty three hours, and twenty-seven minutes.

 T. C.-By what operation is glass annealed, and what is accomplished thereby?
 A. By cooling it very gradually in ovens contrived carefully for control of their heat. These are of two types, one in which the glass is kept station- cry until cooled off by draughts ad- mitted, and another in which glass articles rest on an endless chain that is slowly drawn away from the source of the heat at one end of the oven. The slowness of the cooling is marked, a month being given to the process of reducing the brittleness of the glass, and the pores are thereby contracted evenly, thus adding strength.

 A. He was born November g, 1865, at Dresden, Saxony, where his parents were making a visit. and he is the son of General George B. Me Clellan. He was graduated from Princeton in 1886: was a reporter and held editorial positions on New York dailies in 1887 So; treasurer of New York and Brooklyn Bridge Go, 1884, 02; was admitted to the bar in 1892; president of the board of aldermen 1s93-94; member of congress 1S9J- O3 and became mayor of New York at the beginning of 1904. -p-
 D. c .B.-What was the cause Of the San Francisco earthquake. and what is their usual cause-
 A. There are several theroies ad- vanced. One suggestion as to the cause of the San Francisco quake is that it came from the San Bruno fault, which is an imperfect point in the earth's crust along the California coast. Here the lateral pressure of the ocean sometimes forces the air out of the deposit of sand on the bot tom, and this causes such weight or jar as to break the earth along the line of this fault Another theory is that an accumulation of ice caused the earth to defect or wobble in its revolution. Still another suggestion is that waters of the interior of the earth came in contact with interior fires, causing explosions.

Y., shall be re-established there. The inquiry involves a unique state of facts. According to the papers on file in the postoffice department. sev- eral years ago William Rockefeller conceived the idea of acquiring the site of the town of Brandon to fill out his large estate near Tarrytown. Brandon was a fourishing village. Mr Rockefeller purchased all Of the property except a small tract owned by a civil var veteran named La- mora. Lamora refused to sell and persisted in using the roads through the Rockefeller estate. The post office at Brahdon was abolished and another was opened at Bay Pond. several miles away and within the confines of Roekefeiler's estate. La mora was arrested for trespass on Nr Rockefeller's estate. He fought the case in the courts and eventually lost. A court order was made pre- venting Lamora from going on the estate of Mir Rockefeller and 1t ls stated that, therefore. he vas unz- ble to obtain mail for him directed to the Bay Pond ofioe-
