to pooh pooh the idea of Jeffries or any
other man receiving 100000 volts, to
say nothing of twice that amount
Thereby showing lack of knowl-
edge when it comes to electricity" the
man of sparks replied. AT Sing Sing
they send a man to his death in the
electric chair with 1900 volts; 10 am
peres. Volts represent the unit OF
speed; amperes the quantity of cleo
tricity. Mr.. Jeffries there in the chair.
is receiving but six-tenths of one-mil-
h-ampere, the smallest possible frac-
ton of what a man receives in the
death chair at Sing Sing, but it is
tearing through Jeffries' body with a
speed of 100000 volts; so YOU see it Is
plain that it is amperes. and not volt
age that kills.
Jeff's Hair Stands Up.
When Jeffries received the full force
the lights were turned out and the
room resembled Dante's Inferno, The
place was so charged with electricity
that it was difficult to breathe For a
distance of three feet all around JEFF
the force of the current was plainly
perceptbls for. it was like an autumn
breeze. Once in darkness everything i'm
the room seemed to emit blue flame.
Jeffris raised his wired right arm
and electricity blazed from each finger.
1T was leaving his hand so rapidly
that the flame appeared red at each
finger tip. Beyond the red portion. the
flame appeared blue.
When the lights were turned on
again every hair in Jeff's head was
standing straight up on end. AS he
stepped down from the chair the doc
tor pressed his fingers against Jim's
trauser-leg, and the cloth was so
charged with electricity that a flame OF
fire followed every contact Of the
finger tips and textile.

Welsh Refused Recognition.

Welsh has challenged Nelson repeat
eddy, but without receiving recos-
milton. He has posted $1,000 in cash
as a forfeit and side bet on several
occasions, but Nelson has ignored him.
He has threatened to claim the light
weight championship by default, but
the Battler has merely laughed. Once
or twice Nelson, when cornered, has
expressed a willingness to fight Welsh
some time" but that is about all.
Now Welsh is coming back to this
country with increased prestige ana
lust demand for a match. He says nc
will post $4,000 forfeit upon his ar
rival here and will issue a challenge 10
Nelson to fight 20 rounds, 45 ROUNDS
or 70 finish at 1873 pounds ringsice,
the American lightweight limit. He
saws the $4,000 can 90 as side Del
and that he will let Nelson decide upon
the division of the purse. Welsh de
clares that he will agree to California

to fight within two months aIter lie

also sets forth that he has first car

A. G. Delamator and William Nor
ris's production of George Barr Nc
Cutcheon's Beverly which was pre-
scented at the Studebaker theater, Chi
cago for an extended engagement and
is now enroute to Broadway, New
York will be presented at the KeylOr
Grand theater soon. The play accord
ing to the dramatic critics is perhaps
the best of all the dramatized novels,
and has scorded a decisive success in
Buffalo, Toronto, Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and all of the other principal cities
where it has been produced. Mr.. Nc
CutcheOn's charming story Beverly Of
Graustark'' from which the play is
made has been so widely read that a
resume of the story would seem I'M
necessary. Suffice to say it is a thrill
ling tale of love, adventure and excite
ment in a charming little mythical
and up-to- the minute American girl,
Beverly Calhoun of Washington, D. c.,
who is wooed and won by Prince DAN
tan of Dawsbergen at a time when he
is fugitive and supposed by Beverly
to be an outlaw. The play has been
given beautiful and massive scenic
mounting and is presented by an I'M
usually strong cast of we'll known
Broadway players.

Blue Jackets Save Much Of Their
Money; 500 Tons Barnscles on Ship

Washington. Sept 23. Omitted
Press. )-The popular conception Of
the bluejacket as a man who blows
into one port and then sadly steams
away clean broke. with a similar per-
Torrance at every stopping place,
doesn't appear to be borne out by
facts. There is, on the other hand
proof that Jack is really thrifty and
saving.
Passed Assistant Paymaster Jere
Maupin, who is assistant to the OH
Ger in charge of allotments and dis
bursements at New York has just
given out some interesting statistics
tending to show the amount of saw
ings by the enlisted men of Uncle
Sans navy.
The Jackets have long been afford
ed an opportunity to salt away
portion of their earnings through the
government paymasters. They can
execute allotment" is. ar
range for the deposit of such a por-
ton of their salary as they desire
while receiving the balance when ON
their cruises, or they can have the
government pay their families a part
of their salary while they are steam
ing the seas.
Paymaster Maupins statistics show
that % per cent of the enlisted mcn
of the navy are taking advantage oil
the government savings idea. BY
law, only men serving afloat aad
subject to being ordered beyond tho
limits of the country are permitted
10 leave "allotments. According
TO this limitation, only from 35,Oo'
to 10000 men are entitled to Tie
privilege. The average pay of az
enlisted man is $40 a month; accord
ingly the men afloat receive annual
~ about $12,0O0,000.
OF this sum. Paymaster Maupir
states S3,5OO,O00 is allotted by 4
700 men who save for themselves
and $500 who allot the money Il
their families. II is therefore sai'
to assume that two out of every hv'
men allot two-th,rds OF their wages.

sNITTHLAND sLUGGEI.s HIT
THE BALL TOO HEAVILY

Because there were only two bats
on the field. the game between Smith
and and the Chess. Checker and
Whist clubs came to an abrupt end
yesterday afternoon in the first half
of the fourth inning. Only a small
crowd was out to see the game. and
fortunately only a few were disap-
pointed. The score was TO in
favor of the visitors. when the heavy
sluggers connected with the ball so
hard as to break both bats beyond
repair. II Is the closing game OF the
Chess lads as tomorrow football prae-
tlee will begin.

of the amount of their savings.
One interesting case is cited as an
instance of thrift among the enlist
ed men. A young man was honor
ably discharged after serving a four
year enlistment. When he came
ashore he went to the navy pay Of
fee and. cashed in his savings. They
amounted to $1,000. He said he was
going West to buy a farm.
The Barnacle.
A barnacle is an Insignificant,
measly little crustancean which ey-
erybody knows grows on the bottom
of the ships. adheres to wharf piles.
and sticks to timber and iron. 1t is
an innocent looking shell fish. APP
parently too small to be OF any coli
sequence.
And yet. the parnacle is a big fac
tor in navigation. When naval YES
sells begin to slow down in speed,
with the engines working along all
right. then the sailor knows the
fault lies with the barnacles. the ship
is dry-docked. and the bottom
scraped clean of the offenders.
The amount of foul marine mat
ter, barnacles. and weeds removed
from the bottom of ship is some
times astonishing. The South Do
kota was recently put in the Vallejo
dry dock for an overhauling. Ac-
cordlng to a report from the naval
constructor there. just received al
the navy department, no less than
$40 tons of barnacles and weed
were scraped of the bottom of that
vessels hull.
tbs Represented about eighteen
months growth, as the battleshir
had last been locked in April, 1908
Five hundred and seventy tons Il
much less than the average weight
OF a torpedo boat. With this accn'
mutation on the bottom of a vessel
it is easily understood why her en-
gines did not drive her through the
water as fast as formerly.
The Vallejo naval constructor re-
ports that the amount OF barnacle'
on tho eouth Dakota was unusually
large. hut attemrts no explanation
tAereFor.
