P.epenburg Is particularly well known
in and around Oakland. In the latter

ager of a local automobile house.
Piepenburg has a national reputation

Pacific coast, At the present time ne
holds several worlds records for speed
contests, both track and road, hill
climbs and many other thrilling feats.
In fact, it is said that a list of his rec

year ago. He is the same De Roster,
silent, stolid and nervy. If he has the
slightest trace of doubt in his mind
as to his ability to defeat Lingen-
fielder his closest intimate would never
know it. He Curls his lip with the
same significant sCorn and tells you
in his rather picturesque dialect that
if they think they can beat me, b'gee
I'm here to let 'em do it,
There is one thing about De Roster,
however, that must be said to his
credit. He does not speak disparag-
ingly of his rivals. He asserts his
ability at any time to defeat them, but
he says it with such an infection that
one can always detect a respect for
his rivals ability. Especially is TINS
so respecting Lingenfelder, and though
he has bluffed through many argu-
ments where Lingenfelders name has
been under discussion. it is yet to be
noted that Jake has said anything
other than that Lingenfelder was
nervy, heady rider.
Whichever way the tide of battle
goes between these two men today 1t
is quite certain that il will not be the
last argument between these two speed
marvels. There is too much involved
in a world championship for either man
to quit easily. There are also 100
many latent possibilities in racing

demonstrated in one afternoons match

match is settled il is moral Ger
tainty that these two men will be at
each others threats, in a 1guratlNe
way, for another meeting and another
opportunity to turn the tables. But
there are hundreds of speed fans who
have followed these riders through
their various track careers who are IN
tenselv interested in the outcome or
todays match, and ii is quite certain
that the largest crowd that ever as

The cattle on the island Of Jersey have
been kept pure for more than 100 years,
the importing Of cattle, except for imme-

Jersey cattle are almost entirely free from
tuberculosis, but 1t is q fact that they
often perish sooner than Danish cattle
when introduced into a tuberculosis herd.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Through the gift of a friend who Wis
tied the remote region where 1t grows,
Herman Silver, OF Los Angeles. has
come into the possession OF a specimen
of the strangest and rareSt
known to scientists.
It is the Rose Of He'll" a gigantic
blossom of solid wood, which grows
only on the edges Of q Central Amer
lean volcano and gets its name from
the Indians, who believe the crater is
the entrance of hell and the blossom a
native Of the regions inside.
Mr.. SilVer's specimen Is n or the
few that have ever been brought to
this country, and perhaps the finest.
At first appearance II seems to be q
tough gnarled knot Of a tree which
has been splintered, but closer exam
nation discloses the fact that it has
petals of wood and bark and the rough
outlines of a flower, The petals, con-
cave in form, are arranged much Ike
the petals of a half blown rose. Their
inside surfaces are covered with hn6
lines, which nave the delicacy of fine
hand carving. The stem, which Is
about a foot long, is OF some unusual
wood, which is light and strong. 1t is
covered with heavy bark, which seems
to have been cracked by heat. Both
flower and stem are dark browning
color Of weather beaten boughs-and
dry as finder. The flower grows on a
tree of great size and strength. The
blossom measures about IL inches
across.
The trees grow in the crevasses on
the sides Of Mount Aqua, a high peak
among the rugged mountains Of Cen
trail America and near the volcano of
Fuego. The Guatemalan Indians have
known OF 1t for a long time n have
associated II with the fiery vengeance
OF the subterranean regions.

What "Mercerizedn Means.

From the Craftsman.
MerecriZed cotton was first intro
duced as a substitute for silk some 10
or IL years ago, although the process
for making it vas invented about 1910
by a celebrated English dyer, John
Mercer. He discovered that when cot
ton. either in cloth or yarn, was sub
Iected for a short time TO the action OF
strong caustic alkali, and then thor
oughly washed, the resulting material
was much stronger than before, had
shrunk very considerably, and had a
much greater affinity for dyestuffs.
Mercer patented his discovery and
made some use of 1t in calico printing,
burt the process vas nearly forgotten
until, in 1889, 1T was discovered that
by pnoper treatment cotton could by
this means be made so lustrous as to
compare not u~nfavorably with silk.
To make the cotton l%ustrous. the
goods, after dipping into the strong al
kali, are kept firmly stretched, and
their strong tendency to shrink resist
ed, until the alkali has been thorough
ly rinsed off and the last traces neu-
traltzed with a little acid. II this Is
done carefully, when finally dried the
cotton fbers will be found drawn out
smooth and ~iustrOus, while still retain
ing their new qualities Of strength and
Increased dyeing power. To get good
results in this process the materials
treated, whether In yarn or cloth, must
be made Of the very best n longest
stapIed cotton, preferably Egyptian,
and when well done the results are ex-
tremeIy satisfactory. The luster Is not
as good as the very best silk. but IL IL
quite well marked. and for replacing
the cheap grades OF heavily weighted
silks, as, for instance. for underwear
lininRs, etc, the mercerized goods are
OF very great value, owing to their
strength and durability, as we'll as their

Battle picture in Clouds.
From the New York Times

II VII AO ANS" avn
A terrifying phenomenon in the
heavens recently alarmed the supersti-
tious Villagers OF Dorzbach and Ober-
unbach, on the frontier of Baden
and Wurtemberg. In the clouds, just
before 10 o'clock in h forenoon, there
appeared a bright red streak, on which
could be plainly seen a landscape, Win
fields, streams and woods, among which
two bodies OF troops in battle forma-
ton were advancing toward each
other firing volleys. The puffs OF smoke
were clearly visible.
Half an hour later the picture sud
denly disappeared, but the excitement
and fear aroused among the villagers
lasted until next morning, when the
explanation appeared in the newspa
pers of the district that a sham night
had been held by the garrison of Mer-
gentheam, some 20 miles distant, and
had been miraged on h clouds. vii
