substance scattered along its path in
to state of sparkling incandescence.
The ordinary electric spark and the
lightning are, in this respect, the
same. The sound known as thunder"
is caused by the electric outburst of
the cloud. The flash and the sound
originate simultaneously, but the flash
travels to the eye in an instant, while
the sound is transmitted to the ear so
sluggishly that 1t is some few seconds
behind time.

The new theory advanced by Prof.
Milton Whitney, chief of the Bureau
of soils of the department of agricul-
ture. to the effect that the growths of
plants does not affect the soil, is held
to be heresy by the older scientists.
Prof. Whitney claims to have discov-
cred new soil fertilization, which
may necessitate a complete revision
of the science of chemistry of soils.

ELIOT
ENEMY TO SPORT
HarVard'S S High Muckey-Mu
Condemns Football and
Other Sports

BOSTON, March 6.-Footbal, hockey, in
fact every branch Of intercollegiate ath-
letics except rowing and tennis, are as
sailed by President Eliot Of Harvard in
his annual report to be made public next
Friday.
President Eliot continued to maintain
that football. despite the new and so
called improved rules. remains an unde-
slrable game for either gentlemen TO play
or multitudes Of spectators to watch. He
declares that football Is properly de-
scrlbed by the adjective Fierce and
that no game IN which recklessness in
causing or receiving bodily injury is held
up for admiration is fit for college use.
In the same class with football the presi-
dent places basket ball and hockey He
advises that intercollegiate contests in
any one sport be limited to two games
and that other games be between teams
made up at Harvard. lie decrles the Eek
cesses of cheering which characterize
present intercollegiate contests.

BALL PLAYERS
HOLDING OUT
Salary Chief Objection, But
Some Want to Play
Elsewhere

Seldom in the history Of baseball has
there been so many dissatisfied players
among the major league clubs as there
are az the present time. Several OF
these mon were at the meetings IA New
York early last week, and others are
scattered throughout the country. AS
times have been good for them in re-
cent years. and as they have pronted
by the experiences Of those who made
the early history OF the game and saw
cd their money they are in a position
Go do some holding out on their clubs.
Three of the dissatisfied players at
the meetings 200 New York were Mike
Grady, Outheldor Mcintyre Of Detroit.
and First Basemau Jordan of Brook
lyn. With two OF them money cuts
little figure. Grady has succeeded ion
getting away from ST. Louis. where he
claims he was treated unfairly by the
newspapers there. Mike viii play with
New York.
Mcintyre docsq't object so much 10
his treatment by the Detroit club or To
the salary offered him His desire TO
get with another team is because ne
claims the atmosphere Of Detroit pre-
vents him from playing his best game.
Washington and the Boston Americans
would like to get Mcintyre. but as yet
Detroit has shown no desire to let him
go.
Jordan wants more money. The tan.
thin youth made sensational record
with Brooklyn last season. and his de-
mand for salary IS about $1,000 more
than the Brooklyn Club rs willing to
give. Up to the present time neither
side has shown any sign OF giving I'm

who was injured early Last season. and
has refused TO sign contract for i901
and did not take the trip to Los An
geles. Donlin was cut several hundred
dollars. He broke his ankle IN a game
last spring and was paid every cent his
contract OF $4,000 called for, although
he played only "A contests. This was
about Si8S per game. In making a
general reduction In salaries the club
included Donlin. There Is an impress
sion that Donlin's reason for holding
out Is partly to get all the advertising

who is a vaudeville star.

Americans, and Pitcher Donahue, of
Detroit, are among the other hold

While all Of these players are not

are doing so TO show that all Of the
players have not yet come TO the point
where they realize the fact that con-
ditions which caused large salaries
like the days OF the American-Nauonal

Some business men are deferred from
using such announcements by the fact that
they have small skill in arrangement.

this form of publicity would be of value to
him, for we are glad to have our expert
enced men put things of this kind into
proper shape. We have many samples of
beautiful, business bringing booklets,
