WRESTLING GAME BOOMING.
Mat Artists Pushing PugiIsts In Battle
For Popularity.

The sporting public is finding that
with the sudden rise of interest in the
glove and squared circle pastime.
caused perhaps by the Jeffries- ohm
son agreement. a similar boom has
struck the wrestling game. From all
over the country come reports of wres-
tiers. their doings and their connec-
lions with the boxing world. DR.. Rol-
fistic hopes. and details of the propos-
ed agreement for the Kaufman-Roller
match are eagerly awaited in many
quarters The ambition expressed by
the good herb dispenser is for Il try
at the worlds heavyweight champion
ship in the pugilistic line. But he is
not going to let that ambition inter
fere with his attempt at Frank Gotch's
mat Iaurels.
Gotch. too. by the way. has got a
chance to appear in the boxing camps
and help Jeffries round into condition.
However. the big wrestler is to be
busy defending his own title and TAX
ing toll from box offices in the the
alter Hobbies. He had an offer under
consideration to appear with Jetfries
behind the footights as well as in the
training quarters.
Gotch had some trouble with his
quarters in the Illinois Athletic club
at Chicago. and various reports of
cause and effect have appeared. The
logical conclusion to be drawn from
these seems to be that the case WAS
one the divorce courts would call in
compatibility of temperament. Al
any rate. the champion was not re-.
Ouested to leave. but did so ut his own

FLYING ANIMALS.
The Bodies of All of Them Are Com

When you increase greatly the size

whether it be travelling on the ground,
floating through the air or swimming
under the water. you alter in most
serious way the proportionate effect on
the moving body Of what is called
friction"
1t is Il noteworthy fact that there
are no large flying animals-large, that
Is to say as animals CO. 1t is true
that there is a great range in the size
OF flying animals, from the minutest
flies up to the condor vulture and the
albatross. But the bodies Of those
birds are small. not larger than that
of an ordinary dog. and the stretch of
the wings is only about ten feet, while
their weight in proportion to size is
reduced by great internal air sacs,
which extend even into the bones.
Even when we examine the records
of extinct Monsters" among which
are some huge creatures as big in body
as the biggest elephants of today and
longer by reason of their great lizard
like tails. we find no instances of very
big flying creatures. The extinct group
of the flying rcptiles-called pterodac-
tyles because the wing was supported
by an enormously elongated tinger-are
mostly small creatures. not bigger than
eagles and usualiy Of less size. The
largest known had an eXpanse CT wing
giving eighteen feet from the tip of
one wing to the tip of the other. but
its body was a little thing. not bigger
than that of swan. This is the lar
gest pair of wings known. and we
must remember that in these larger
pterOdactylcs and birds the bones are
thin walled. hollow cylinders filed
with air. so that these creatures are
not only small. but have a small spe-
cific gravity.-Sir Ray Lancaster in

Willie looked foolish.

he looked honest"

And shortly thereafter people passing
wondered who was being slain.
That evening Mr. Terry returned

chairman of the board of Wayne coun-

views regarding concrete roads in the

Concrete roads would meet the ideal

comparatively low first cost, durability,
low maintenance cost, ease of traction
and freedom from dust and mud.
The value of concrete roads was

SEES DOOM OF LORDS.
T. P. O'Connor Predicts Uprising Of
Masses Over Rejection of Budqet.


Commenting on the action taken by
the British house of lords in adopting
Lord Lansdowne's amendment to the
finance bill. II. =. O'Connor. Nj. F.,
one of the Irish Nationalist leaders In
the house of commons, now in the
United States in the interest of Irish
home rule, said the other night that
the rejection of the British budget by
the British peers had announced their
own doom.
IL am greatly pleased, and SO is every
one who is an enemy of the house of
lords" said Mr.. O'Connor. Every Lib
eral. and. still more, every Irish Ma.
tionalist. has known for several gen.
erations that it was impossible to have
anything like steady Liberal progress
so long as the house of lords retained
its power to defeat or postpone all
democratic legislation. Ireland has
been the special sufferer from the pres.
ent power of that body. for the house
of lords consists almost exclusively of
the landlords who have always been
the curse and the enemies of Ireland
LAS to the effect in England, | be
lieve the rejection of the budget will
lead to an uprising of the masses the
strength of which the lords have fail
ed to realize. They will realize it be.
fore many hours. | believe we are on
the eve of the tiercest fight we have
seen in British politics for century.
that the fight will go against the lords.
that they have pronounced their own
doom and that before two or three
years from now their power of mis-
chief will be so broken as practically
to be noneXistent.
This means the final emancipation
of the English MASSES from the grip
of feudalism and of Ireland from gov
eminent of an alien parliament"
