MEETING TO ASK FOR
UNIFORM STATE LAWS
Business Men From All Parts Of the
United States Are vitality inter-
ested in the Actions Of the
Commissioners

DETROIT, Aug. 19-Business men in
all parts of the United States will be
vitality interested in the transactions
of the annual meeting of the Commits
sioners on Uniform State Laws. who
met in Detroit today to take action
upon making bills of lading and stock
certificates negotiable.
The two proposed measures have
gone through the preliminary steps
'and will be reported and acted upon
at the present meeting 1t is the gen
eral impression that they will meet
with the approval of the body Should
they be adopted it would mean that
would be the same as currency when
presented at the bank
1t is not likely that any action will
be taken at the coming session toward
harmoniZing the laws on partnership.
1t is proposed to establish a uniform
law whereby such a combination shall
be recognized as legal person. In
the event of it's adoption all partner
ships must hold the property in the
name of the concern instead of as in
dividuals as is now the practice The
uniforming of the partnership law was
under consideration at a recent New
York City conference. and doubts
were expressed of its meeting with
| favorable action at this early date.

West Will Get Fight.

| Just who will land the match is a
matter for conjecture, but it is almost
certain to go to the west The fact
that Jeffries demands bout of over 25
,, rounds puts Philadelphia. Boston and
this city out of the running. "A local
promoter would doubtlessly guarantee
| handsomely for the match. but 10
rounds and the world wide Importance
of the match makes it out of the ques-
ton for this city's half censored ring
game. The men could go II rounds at
the Hub. but Boston has neved handled
go of the proportions that the john
son-Jeffries match would assume. and
j that city, too, must be counted out of
the reckoning. Although Terry Nc
Govern and Battling Nelson drew a
$4,000 house in Philadelphia, the six
round limitation of the Showdown Gusts
William PENIS nominators from the
field. From the foregoing it may be
readily be seen that the big fight will
be staged in the west
Although Johnson has professed 6
dislike for fighting in California, an6
prefers Nevada or some other occiden-
tai state, it is probable that the far
slope will be the scene OF the encoun-
ter. Jim Coffroth, the Colma promoter
is a close friend of Jeffries and is re-
garded to have an excellent chance of
staging the bout. Coffroth will prob
ably offer $4,000 to the mon, to be di-
vided as they may decide. Then there
is Jeffries' old club at Los Angeles
to be heard from and it may turn out
himself.
Jim Coffroth is not going to have a
comes to bidding for the Jeffries- John
son fight Sid Hester. the promoter of
the Missouri club wants the match,
and has already made an offer and says
that he will post the whole amount of
the purse if it is accepted.
Hester's offer, is: A guaranteed purse
Of 100000 with a side offer of $4,000 to
Jeffries for signing; or he will give the
men S5 per cent of the gross receipts,
and figures that he can get in $780,
600 house. The fight to be for 20
rounds in San Francisco, or 45 rounds

spectators at S.. a like number at $40
and SIS and 1000 at $50.

who was head of. the organisation last
year. e.
The primary purposes of the exposi-
ton are to educate the growers and
handlers to the fact that the apple is
a staple product. that the markets at
home and abroad are constantly In
creasing. that prizes for clean fruit Of
color, size and favor are advancing,
that the demand was never greater
than at present and that overproduc-
ton is entirely out of the question dur
ing this century. 1t is also designed to
establish standard. with the view to
q greater development Of the apple in
dustry. ~.,>.@~~ ,..,>..

es. ranging from $1,000 for the best

The Spinning Machine Of Spider.
The spinning machine Is situated un-
der the hinder part or the spiders
body. It takes the form of a slight de-
preston. which q close inspection
shows to consist Of six small bodies re-
sembiing tubes. Four of these contain
an immense number Of minute open
ings. as many as thousand can be
counted In each. and from every one
OF these openings a viscous fluid Is
sues, which hardens on exposure to
the atmosphere. The whole 1900
threads are united into one tine, which
is sometimes so fine that 4.000,O0O
twisted together would not have a
combined diameter greater than that
Of an ordinary hair from the human
head. It is impossible to conceive the
excessive slehderneSs of one OF the
1900 threads which. compose such a
line The bare statement that each
one has a thickness only one sixteen
thousand milIionth. of that Of human
hair does not in any way convey the
impression Of its wonderful dneness.
The mind can no more grasp the
meaning Of such figures than It, can:
understand the immense distance of
which Astronomers talk 70 gitbly.
