A the approach of the noon hour on Saturday, Joe
Hooker seemed to sink into dependency that
made him an object of sympathy to several OF the
boys who had been looking forward with consider
able eagerness to the fun McDermltt had promised
them.
Mamie Folsome did not remain to witness the bat
tie To have done would not have been IN keeping
with her pretensions lady of refinement; but it
was apparent when Joe Hooker came in on Monday
morning with swollen upper lip and his left eye
not undergone change for the worse. Every woman
admres hero, and in the opinion OF most women
hero is man who is victorious To only few OF
them does it matter how the hero's victories are
achieved.
Toe Hooker had however, committed unpar-
donable blunder He had, much to the surprise OF
all who witnessed the encounter fought desperately.
and by delivering what was supposed to have been
a chance blow not only caused McDermitts nose to
bleed copously but had almost compelled the
champion of the binding room to sit down and
indulge in sober thought. This had been wholly
at variance with the rules governing the initiation
ceremonies If he had not unwisey declined to per-
NIT himself to be punnmeled into Inconsistencies
without presuning to offer resistance, the new man
might have been suffered to 60 about his work un-
molested: but since he had SacTlleg1ously drawn
blood from the champion, McDermitt felt that he
owed it to himself to demonstrate that the blow
which had almost felled him accidentally de-
ivered and not to be considered as an indication
that he Vulnerable.
For three weeks Joe Hooker remained to undergo
indignties at the hands of his conqueror. Whenever
an opportunity presented itself McDermtt would

INVENTOR CLAIMS TO BE ABLE TO
STORE SUMS RAYS FOR LIGHTING

Boston, Mass, March lit is the
claim of a Boston inventor that he
successfully has solved the problem Of
storing the suns rays and converting
them into electrical energy George
S. Cove is the inventor, and he dem
onstrates the success of his idea by
lighting his workshop in SCnerville,
a suburb, with electricity generated
from an apparatus on the roof.
No electric wires of any sor. enter
his buildings from outside lighting
sources, yet incandascent globes
twinkle merrily day and night, and
electricians from the Institute of
Technology speak enthusiastically
about the scheme
Cove has demonstrated that his de.
vice will store up sufficient electri-
city for an entire house. He says his
machines, which can be built for 500
each, when ineased in glass, will last
for 10 years without repair. The ma
chine generates in two days of sun
shine enough electricity to last six
days.
Cove's invention consists of frame
work to be placed in an opening
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-03-01

where it will receive the direct rays
of the sun. Short plugs of metal CON-
position are set into this frame. The
framework is of thin steel divided into
squares each of one foot square, con-
tanning 81 plugs. These plugs project
from cement, in which they are set.
and come in contact with thick glass
which the sun strikes.
Filled in around these plugs is a
body of heat absorbing material. The
plugs are about an inch apart and are
connected IN series by strip of metal.
The difference of temperature of the
two ends of the metal plugs, one being
in the sun, the other in the open with
a circulation of air around 1t, gener-
ates the currents of electricity.
If the sun goes under cloud and
the voltage drops below that of the
storage batteries, an automatic cutout
breaks the circuit between the gener-
ator and the batteries. The device is
thus entirely automatic.
Cove is practical inventor, who
recently received a gold medal from
the Canadian government for plan
for harnessing the tides in the bay of
lFundy.

years. Aside from the distinguished
government officials who have served

Is Note of Regret.
The occasion was memorable TO
those who surrounded the president
today and the latter's farewell words
were not entirely free from notes of
regret, if not sadness. The president
in brief speech laid emphasis on the
point that no administration had given
its chief more loyal service, and he
stated that he believed that the coun-
try had never had a more devoted set
of public servants than those men
through whom, he said, most of the
work of his administration had been
accomplished.
Represent Others.
The president in his remarks follow
ing the luncheon said:
Gentlemen: You are here nomi-
nally as members. or to meet the men,
bers of the tennis cabinet'-that Is,
, as men with whom at tennis or hunt
ing, or riding. or walking, or boxing,
have played. with whom have been
on the roundup, or in the mountains,
or on the ranch country. But really,
as you know, you are not here for
that reason at all; you are here be-
cause you are the men, and because
you represent the men with whom I
have worked while | have been presi-
dent. No administration has ever
had finer or more loyal service than
you have given, and do not believe

HISTORY OF CROSS
Professor Mauritzson of Augustana
College Tells of Origin Of
the Symbol.
ARE THREE Different FORMS
Was Religious Emblem Long Before
Time of Christ-Greek Dates to
18th Century 3. c.

"The Cross: Its Origin and Develop
ment," was the subject of an intense
ly interesting lecture by Professor
Jules Mauritzson before the Concordia
society of Augustana seminary at its
last session Professor Mauritzson Sc
cured the data for the lecture from
Professor Montelius, archaeologist and
royal keeper of archives of Stockholm,
Sweden, who recently made a tour of
the United States, speaking on this
subject before the leading eastern uni
versities and also at Iowa State uni
versity. Professor Montelius also
spoke at Aagustana college, but on an
other subject, Prehistoric Sweden"
According to Professor Mauritzson,
there are three distinct forms of
crosses-the Greek, the Roman and
the ''T' cross. OF these, the Greek
cross is much the oldest, dating back
to the 18th century before the birth of
Christ. 1t had it's origin in the relig-
ious belief of the Greeks and their
worship of the various deities. The
emblem of the sun god was wheel,
representing the wheel of the fiery
chariot in which he drove across the
heavens.
This wheel had only four spokes,
forming a cross, all the parts of which
we're naturally of equal length. The
tire of the wheel was, to begin with,
of considerable thickness, but gradu-
ally became narrower and finally dis
appeared. leaving only the four spokes
in the peculiar. symmetrical form of
the Greek cross which We have today.
Origin of ct, Cross.
The "T' cross had its origin in the
Romans method of capital punishment
invention to serve the purpose for
which it was made. For the sake of
strength the cross piece was laid
across the top of the perpendicular
piece in order to be able to sustain
the weight of the victim whose arms
were fastened to the cross piece. All
historic data and tradition up to the
18th century after Christ, said the
speaker, seems to confirm the belief
that Christ was crucified on this form
of cross.
| There are three theories as to the
origin of the Roman cross. One is
that it is merely development of the
Greek cross, which was frequently
carried in professions during religious
celebrations and at other events. Ir
order to raise it high in the air, ths
Hover spoke was extended much longer
than the other spokes and used as !;
staff. Another theory is that the Ro
man cross developed from the peculia
ak or hatchet which the sun god wa
supposed to carry as his weapon. TIL,
handle of this ak extended through
THE stone-cutting blade a short dis
tance. giving it the appearance of
