 Be met a man with whom he was well acquainted, by name Tom Ogles- by. who was just getting over a pro- tracted debauch. Jennings began ask ing Tom about his political views. The half sober fellow looked at him and said:
 "Jen, don't you think a man just out of a panther fight ought to be cleo tlOneered in different manner from this? l am just from the grave, l was awakened little while ago by a panther putting leaves and grass over me. It-kept this up until was entire ly covered. lay still for awhile and then raised up and found the panther gone. knew l was in danger, so l took my gun and climbed into a tree to see what the panther intended to do.
 "In a short time l heard her coming, and she had her kittens with her, Ey- cry few steps she would jump as if catching something, and the little ones would so through the same maneu- vers. She kept thls up until she got near to the bed Of leaves she had cOv- cred over me and then made a spring on the pile. She looked just as l felt when ] found that l was covered up for dead. She then started in to in- vestlgate the cause of my disappear ance, and before she located me l shot her"
 Jennings, after hearing this, said:
 "WeI, Tom, I believe l should treat you as one from the dead and that you should begin your life from this point. We were schoolboys together. l know you are a capable civil engineer and we'll educated, and if you cease drink ing will see that you have good Do- sltion on the surveying corps"
 Tom Oglesby did quit drinking. Jen- nlngs was elected and kept his prom ise to bis old friend, who became one of the we'll known engineers of the United States.

 Each day at the weather bureau in Washington the thermometers received from various manufacturers through out the country are put through the test Of standardizIng them,
 The various processes through which the bulbs pass before they are labeled accurate" are easy, inasmuch as there is practically little scientific work at- tached to.the test When a thermom- eter is first handed to the man in the testing room 1t is dipped into a vat 6lled with a compound far below the freezing point. It is thrust in at the point where 1t happens to be at the time and worked up and down until the degree of the compound is reached. Having then recorded the lowest tenn peraturc, the process of testing for the highest is begun. This is just as sim pie as testing for the low temperature. The bulb is dipped into a vat of water, first at 60 degrees. Then it is worked gradually until 13O degrees is reached, If the mercury in the bulb will indi- cate l3O degrees further testing is un- necessary, because that is a tolcrably warm temperature and one seldom if ever reached by natural heat

liberal enough in his construction of anti

RUTT AND CLARK WIN
RESULT OF SIX-DAY BICYCLE
RACE IN GOTHAM.
Teams Score " Miles Behind Rec
ord Made Last Year-Other
Prize Winners,

NEW YORK. December 11.--Walter
Rutt Of Germany and jackie Clark of
Australia won the annual six-day bicycle
race at Madison Square Garden tonight
from an exhausted and hopeless field.
Their distance of 266O.1 miles for 142
hours, which is seventy-seven miles be-
hind the record of 2,737.1 miles made last
year by Mcfarland and Moran, gives no
adequate idea of race which. for broken
records, broken precedents and broken
teams, has been the most exciting ever
seen at the garden.
In the competitive mile exhibition be-
tween the two winners that followed the
race proper. Rutt defeated his partner
Clark by six inches, although Clark is
rated the speediest short-dstance man in
the world. barring only Frank Kramer,
the champion. The men divided first
money-$1 ,6O0-between them.
Second place went by two yards to Joe
Fogler of Brooklyn, who rode a mile
against Bobby Walthour of Atlanta, Ca,
third. and Fred Hill Of Boston, fourth. to
decide the tie between these teams, who
finished in bunch behind Rutt and
Clark Fogler and his teammate. Eddie
Root of New York, divide $1,000. as sec
ond money; Walthour and Elmer Collins
Of Boston, $3.50. and Hill and Charles
Stein of Brooklyn, 5000.
Patrick OSullivan Hehir of New Zea-
land won fifth place from Fred G.. West
of San Francisco and divided $500 with
his partner Alfred Halstead of San
Francisco. West took $3.50 for sixth
money.
Seventh place and $500 went automatic
ally to Lawson and Demara, who finished
in that order.
For the first three days OF the race
series of killing sprints forced out team
after team and set the hourly distance
marks more than twenty miles ahead Of
the record. Patsy Keegan of Lowell got
inflammation of the lungs from over
exertion in the foul air. Spills were fire.
quent, and wrenched knees, broken col
lar bones and lost teeth forced out team
after team until of the seventeen that
entered but nine finished.
The final score:
