FITZ SHOWS KNOCKOUT PUNCH
Ruby Robert Gives Demonstration
Much to His Sorrow.

Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons is always
ready and willing to illustrate before
sporting men just how he knocked Jim
Corbett out at Carson City with his
memorable solar pleXus punch. Not
so very many years ago his former
manager, Percy Williams, now a we'll
known theatrical magnate, asked Fitz
to show number of friends just how
Corbett was annihilated. Robert was
in fine form then, as he was training
for fight at the time.
He promptly complied with the re-
quest by calling Reggy Williams, a
brother of his manager, to stand up
and be a victim. Reggy, however, had
been there before and knew the power
of the Cornishmans blows, so he was
not over-eager TO take part in the eX-
hibition. So he said to Robert:
wait a minute, Bob, until go and
get stiff bracer, for | need courage"
"All right replied Fitzsimmons
with a grin, but hurry" Reggy
stepped over to the bar, took nip.
and then, picking up thick board he
slipped it under his vest. Then he
came back with the remark:
GO ahead, Bob, but not too hard"
F'itz jumped about, feinting and
sparring for a few moments, while Will
liams squared off like a real fighter.
Then Robert shot out his terrible left
and hit the mark with crash. 1t
sounded like blow on board fence
with a sledge hammer and, though
Williams was knocked down, he
jumped up quickly and laughed until
his sides shook. Fftz was standing
around on one foot, with his left hand
under his arm and a look Of intense
pain on his face.
Whats the matter, Bob?" asked
Percy Williams, who was next to the
trick.
whats the matter?" roared the
angry Cornishman. why, me bloom
ing and is smashed! That funny
brother of yours as sheet of iron
under his vest!"
Fitz was mark then for lot of
guying, but the joke was a serious one,
for his left hand was in poultiuSs for
six weeks.

What is that characteristic? 1t is not

The peculiar inversion of objects

cause Of the difficulty felt in reading

write from left to right, but finds that
while he is so doing the mirror upsets

A NEW ANAESTHETIC.
Stovane Is Its Name and 1t Produces
Temporary Paralysis.

Mr.. f. w. Malvin, United States CON
sui at Nottingham, sends to the bu-
Teau of manufactures at Washington
some particulars concerning the new
anaesthetic, stovaine. 1t appears that
it produces paralysis of the body be-
low the point of injection and removes
all sensation from the limbs, so that
it has been found possible to ampu-
tate a mans leg while the patient re-
tanned consciousness, and could, had
he been allowed to do so, have even
witnessed the operation The patient
could feel no pain, and after the opera
tion and when sensation returned eX-
perienced nothing but the sense of
Eruising, which is one of the sequels
OF grave operations. The curious name
of the anaesthetic, "stovaine' is due
TO it's discoverer, NJ. Fourneau. NJ.
Fourneau was anxious to perpetuate
his own name in connection with it,
but as the anaesthetic was of the ma
ture of cocaine and no compound re-
Sembling that could be cOntrived out
of "Fourneau," he translated the name
into it's English equivalent of stove"
and added the necessary termination.

REFlNIsH YOUR OWN SILVER.
Directions for Doing Plating Without
a Battery.

Dissolve eight silver quarters
(money) or silver of equivalent
amount in two ounces of nitric acid
(strong), and to this add four ounces
of common salt dissolved in as little
water as possible. A heavy precipitate
Is silver chloride. Decant the liquid,
add more salt solution to see if all the
silver has been taken out. Wash the
silver chloride precipitate with wa
ter and then dissolve it in a solution
composed of two ounces potassium cy-
anide and three ounces sodium hypo-
Sulphate in six ounces of water. Filter
The solution, If necessary, and make up
TO two quarts with pure rain water.
You may, by the aid of this mixture,
plate all sorts of things as watch
chains, rings, medals, watches, orna-
ments, steel, iron and German silver
articles as spoons, spectacles. etc.
Hang the article to be plated, says
Popular Mechanics, in the solu-
ton suspended by strip of lead or i'm
merse the articles and boil them for
10 to 20 minutes, according to the
thickness Of the plating desired The
articles to be plated must be free from
grease, fat and dirt and by this
method take a durable and handsome
silver plating.

WINTER BASEBALL NOTES.

Pitcher Lakoff, late of Detroit, has
been sold to the Portland club of the
Pacific Coast league.
President Dovey has decided that he
will not retain Knots, Slime, Frock,
Bushee and Barberich.
Roosevelt is the name of a pitcher
in the Northwest league. He is quite
a twirler, they say, but he doesn't
WELD a big stick. OF course his front
name is Teddy.
Pop will be sold as usual on the
big league grounds this season, but
woe to the unfortunate who leaves the
bottle around promiscuously. The
commission has voted to fine the
club that fails to push the offenders
prosecution.
William J. Delehanty, the youngest
member of the famous baseball fam
lily, has been sold to the Wilkesbarre
team of the New York State league
He jumped the o. and p. league last
season. This year he will play third

EXPERIMENTS WITH MIRROR.
Interesting Phenomena Explained by
Gustav Michaud.

Ask your friend whether he can de-
cipher the following sign, which you
pretend to have read over the shop of
an Armenian shoemaker.
He will probably tell you that he is
not conversant with Oriental Ian
guages. Tell him that the sign is
written in good English and, while he
smiles incredulously, lay a frameless
mirror perpendicularly on the mysteri-
Gus script, right across the quotation
marks. The result is shown.
Ask your friend to write anything
he chooses, with the condition that he
shall see his hand and read the script
in the mirror only. With the help of
few books arrange the mirror and
the paper as shown herewith.
The writer sets at work, but will not
probably go farther than the first let
ter. His hand seems to be struck

Pass Through Quick Thinking.

Il will never forget game / played
when l was with the Baltimore club,

ager McGraw of the Giants the other
day. Matty, Dan Brouthers, the Office
boy and Fred Knowles pulled around
their chairs to listen. Il led off, con-
tinued Muggsy and Willie Keeler fol.
lowed me at the bat. | got a base
on balls. Keeler came up and pulled
over in right field for a base hit.
"One Bill Joyce was playing right
field at that time. He had me figured
to slow up at second base on the hit,
but | put one over on Joyce and kept
on going. Joyce got the hit on tho
first bound, playing it safe, and, Just
as | expected, he lobbed it in. When
l was sliding for third base the third
sacker was looking all around for me,
and | got up and kept on going.
Duke Farrell was catching, and l
slid around the Duke. By the time
the Duke got his BEARINGS Keeler was
right on top of me. Bill was the run
ner up all the way. The crowd liked
the way we pulled off the unexpected.
OF course we had the dope right after
Keeler made the hit. They laid for
us in every game after that"
Then Dan Brouthers got busy and
tol%i how McGraw saved his team
from defeat twice during a game with
the Chicago team and then won out
in the tenth inning.

Voice Eneruy.

DR.. Marage recently presented be-
fore the Academy of Medicine at Paris
the results of an investigation of the
amount Of work performed by orators
and singers. 1t appears from his ex-
periments that bass voice, in order
TO produce the same impression upon
the ears of hearers in a hail. requires
the performance of from II to IS
times more work than is required for a
barytone or tenor voice. The bass
voice is always at disadvantage with
regard to the amount of work it de-
mands. Thus DR.. Marage finds that
whereas men are always more fa-
tigued than women and children by
an equal effort of the voice, men with
bass voices suffer the most fatigue.

The hole in the shell acts as q
diaphragm, and it's position, at some
distance from the eye, favors the To-

emitted by the marginal parts of the

Bill Papke, the western cyclone and
present claimant of the middle-weight
championship title, is certainly max
ing plenty of money out of the fight
ing game. If success sticks to him he
ought to come very near having
swell bank roll when he retires from
the game. Bill first began fighting
November 26, 1906. Since he has been
professional pugilist he has made
SIS, 500 out of his battles, including
the wagers he won on himself The
smallest amount Papke ever received
for boxing was $40, which he got for
engaging in limited round fight with
the Mexican Wonder He made short
work of the Mexican Wonder, putting
him out in four rounds. This victory
gave him confidence, and he started
out to make his living as a pugilist.
His next battle was with Red Nor
rissey, whom he put away in three
rounds. Since then Papke has been
going right along the line meeting all
the fighters that were willing to take
him on. The largest amount which
Idphe mas Drawn OUT Oh DdIlle Was
$2,2S8. He received this sum for his
ten-rOund fight with Hugo Kelly, at
Milwaukee, which was declared a
draw, although the majority OF the
spectators and fight critics claimed
that Bill should have had the decision.
His other fights have netted him from
500 to $1,000 for his end. He has
also had a few weeks theatrical en-
gagement, for which he received $500
for each week. Besides these engage
ments he has also taken part in three
exhibition bouts and got 500 for each
bout. Since Papke began fighting he
has only engaged in 26 battles, 1S of
which he has won by knockouts,
fought four draws and was awarded
the decision in four others.
