Mr.. Skulason defended the Grand
Forks fair in most able manner and
cited the fact that the law,Hif- passed,
would be unconstitutional, inasmuch
as it would mean, that the state would
attempt to break a contract which it
is party to and where the other party
is living up to the terms Of the con-
tract. He also called attention to the
agreement entered into BY the people
representing the two cities four years
ago, when the fair was moved from
Mandan to Fargo and Grand Forks
jointly. He said that the bi llauthoriz-
ing the change providing that the fair
should be so located permanently"
MI. Skulason not only cited law, but
used every possible argument against
the changing of the, present fair law.
Mr.. Trainor of Devils Lake, called
attention to the fact that his town is
admirably situated for the permanent
home of the state fair. He mentioned
the Chautauqua association grounds,
the railways, the beautiful lakes and
woods skirting them and Of the excel
cent railway facilities and stated also
that he was, certain that Devils Lake
was nearer the real center Of the state,
as to population than any other town
which is candidate for the fair Mr..
Trainor's talk was interesting and
there is no doubt as to his loyalty to
his home town.
Mr.. Kneeland of Jamestown spoke
on the, adaptability of Jamestown as a
permanent location for the state fair,
describing the beauties and accessibility
of Jamestown for people living in all
portions of the state. He called atten-
ton to the fact that they had conducted
successful county fairs for a number Of
years, owned handsome grounds with
Uneasy walking distance from the city,
together with +, unrivaled8 railway and
hotel facilities. Mr.. Kneeland stated
that the bill for the location at. James
town was introduced in good faith and
that he and his colleagues are here reu-
resenting the best interests of James
town and Stutsman county as well as
that of the state. s.I$-, %.s&14
. At the opening of the session there
was quite. a debate, as to which 5of the
fair bills should be. considered first,
some contending that they should have
been considered in the order in which
they were introduced in the house and
others that they should be considered
in the order in which they had been re-
ported back by the committee, to
whom they had been referred. s.#s
After lengthy discussions, which al
times waxed rather. torrid, motion to
report the bi llback to- the house for

vote being 40 for and IS against.

4 FLAW IN THE LENS.

The Loss Of Time and Money Involved
.. In This Scientific Tragedy. ~ .&s,
Probably few persons took much in
terest in the announcement that nav
had been discovered in the great 100
inch lens for the Mount Wilson reflect
Ing telescope. To scientific men this
was no less than a tragedy, since 1t
means an expense CT $4,000 and de-
lay Of a year, with the possibility that
the second effort will be no more sue
cessful. 4.S.@s&5.. 4, &l@.%.@ ~
It is doubtful il many persons ever
saw a rejecting telescope. When the
term telescope is used we naturally
think Of an instrument with a long
''barrel' and lenses at each end. These
are the most common, but are not In
many cases the most useful. They
have defects which cannot be remedied
in our present state Of knowledge, and
they have limitations put upon them
by nature which perhaps may never be
overcome. But the rejecting telescope,
consisting Of q single lens placed hort.
xontally and without any .sbarrel," Is
IN many respects the more useful In
strument for astronomers, although 1t
also has its drawbacks. .. S *. =.
: In this instrument the light falls d.
rectly on the lens and Is reflected back
to a focal point. which IL distant from
the lens according to it's diameter. 1t
is open to the objection that the light
reflected back interferes with the fall
ing rays, but ingenuity has overcome
much Of the disadvantage. The largest
effective instrument Of this sort Is at
the Yerkes observatory, but the one
planned for Mount Wilson Is to be
more than twice as large and much
larger than that Of Lord Rosse, which
was so famous fifty years ago. HI =55.5
The difficulty In consH ucting q lens
more than eight feet In diameter arises
from the fact that the Glass must be
absolutely dawless, orsas near 20 as
human skill can make It. TO make
such a lens Is 4 long, expensive and
dihacult process, and many failures m
'evitably result before success ID
achieved even for small Lenses. II the,
100 inch lens Il finally turned out nor
mally perfect, we shah have an In
Istrument which will greatly add to.
.our knowledge Of the universe about
MS. It is an interesting fact Ia this
connection that for several generations

France, buts the best workmanship In.

most a sixth sense to accomplish any.

American Style the Best.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The rapid i'm
provement in the running of American
-distancers the past year or two has
called attention to the fact that the
Yankee athletes, after a trial that en-
dured through years, have gone back to
the style of running In vogue here twenty
years ago, and. except in a few rare in
stances, no longer affect the old English
style common in the days Of Tommy Con-
neff, Willie Day, Eddie Carter and other
famous record breakers.
All these old-timers ran with the low
arm movement-that is, kept their hands
much as possible below their hips
until physical exhaustion made it i'm
possible to keep them down This fashion
was the result of an invasion of English
runners, whose success set the Amerf-
can coaches to guessing until they finally
decided that the Britons owed their abit-
ity to carry speed long distances to the
manner in which they swung their arms.
Gradually this idea has been relegated
TO the scrap heap. There is hardly a
runner of note now in this country who
does not keep his hands up, and ALT
Shrubb, the greatest of them all up to
twenty miles. runs In the American style.
ShrubbS action is as near perfect as
anything that has ever been seen on a
track. The closest approach to him in
this country is George Bonhag. Bonhag
has not the same short. choppy stride as
the Englishman, but his action is un-
equaled among American runners. The
records Bonhag and Shrubb have hung up
between them are proof enough that the
American style is the best.

HOW MUCH CAN
A CATCHER STAND

Is a catcher too busy to manage q ball
club? This question has arisen from
the assertion of President Comiskey of
the White SOX that he thought Billy
Sullivan had enough to do without be-
ing burdened with the managerial reins.
In the two major leagues there are at
present two catcher-managers. Roger
Bresnahan Of the st. Louis Cardinals
and Frank Bowerman of the Boston
Doves. Neither Of these men has had
q chance to prove his worth, and for
that reason it is manifestly unfair to
jump to the conclusion that either will
be in any way a failure. A majo league

system, which in most cases requires
the first string catcher to work in five
out of seven games, has the hardest job

the present day catchers are assistant
managers and do more thinking per-
haps than the men who are earning the

field. He may be working with his
brains. but not with his hands. or vice
versa. There is no time when a good
catcher is not employed busily. both
physically and mentally. The ball is
in his hands Oftener than in any ones

to keep his mind working all the time

afford to run the risk of having their

evidently is not eager to try will be
watched with interest in ST. Louis and

WHY SAM LANGFORD
IS AFTER JOHNSON

1t is an interesting story that Sam
Langford tells of his experiences with
Jack Johnson, and the reason that he
particularly desires another match with
the heavyweight champion. Fighters, as
much as any other people in the world,
have their foibles, and while there are
a few who stick entirely to business prin-
ciples the most of them have their own
private reasons for wanting to do this
or that Langford, in common chiefly
with colored fighters, will do exactly what
his manager says. but all the same, he
has some ideas Of his own on the subject
OF Jack johnson.
1t appears that after their other fight,
in which Langford made a good showing,
considering his weight, even if he did
lose the decision. that the two fighters
were thrown into the same company
both endeavoring to be pleasant to the
same dusky belle.
Johnson was arrayed like Solomon in
all his glory. He had on a suit of clothes
that could talk, but his chief ornamental
ton was in the way of diamonds, that
flashed from his fingers and from his
scarf. L.angford was unadorned at that
time.
Don't YOU ever wear diamonds, Mistah
Langford?" maliciously asked johnson.
1dllS1oru reply was W HASH d SA.-Vo
beauty that was reposing in a vest pock-
ct 1t didn't altogether save the day.
however, and that is why he Is thtrsting
for the blood OF the man who beat Tom
my Burns.
When Ali get chance at that john
son.. he remarked. all ALI got to do is
TO think of diamonds and he will get
some fighting, Ali tell you. And ii All
ever get him down on the floor, that's
what Aim goin' to Say to him."
So when this pair get together if the
word diamond is heard in the fray you
will know what ii means, and that ii is
not a mysterious code Of some nature.

Growth Of the Banana.
From the Living Church.


Tropical trees and plants. with their
luxurious growth and brilliant flowers, are
very interesting. In Hawaii there is not
the boarding or niggardliness of slow
growth: nature does everything with q
lavish hand. Small ANIMALS. in colder
chimes. do not seem remarkable when
they make their full growth but to per-
feet their flower and seed. but In the
larger growth of the tropics this does
seem a remarkable feature
During my stay on the windward side
of the Island of Oahu have been study
ing the banana tree. In growth and habit
it is exceedingly interesting. Very truly
does it live but to produce its fruit. for,
though a stem attains a height of from
twelve to eighteen feet. as soon as one
bunch of bananas ripens 1t is pau" in
Hawaiian pariance. finished" in English.
1t is cut down and another tiny shoot
starts from the ground to pursue the
same course.
Each banana represents a single flower,

something as in the apple. only that the
seeds have no covering, as in that fruit.
The large cluster of flowers is inclosed in
leaf-like coverings which roll back and
fall off, one by one. as hand of the flow
ers is ready to open. BY a hand one
means two rows Of flowers going half
around the stem. have often wondered
what was meant in the oriental stores by
a hand of bananas; now l understand
by looking at the empty stem from which
we have just finished eating the delicious
fruit. AS soon as the fruit first begins to
turn the stem Is cut and hung up to
ripen. Bananas hanging in the porch to
be used at will are a very good substitute
for the apple Of colder chimes. But TO re-
turn to the flowers The first hand OF
flowers turns very soon into tiny green
bananas. and then the next leaf-like bract
rolls back and falls OFF and a hand of
flowers comes to light till, one after an
other. these hands have made a large
bunch of bananas. In those that I have
examined the last flowers have not come
to perfection. and there is often seen
hanging folded bunch at the extreme
end of the covering.

The Larval Form of Eels.
rom the London Telegraph.

The straits of Messina are channels Of
immense depth. through which a wild
tide surges. and owing probably TO If
regularites at the bottom there are
whirling eddies which have the effect Of
bringing up from the depths below many
marine creatures which rarely seen
except in the deep sea travis. II was
here that the larval form of a fresh water
eel was first discovered an incident which
threw a blaze of light on the life history
of a very mysterious fish All kinds OF
theories have been given forth with re-
gard to the propagation of the eel. Some
naturalists declared they breed in fresh
water, others that they visited the es-
tuary for spawning purposes, but thanks
to the discovery of Messina and later
captures of the eel in its laryal form IL is
now practically certain that after mature
cells drop down our rivers In autumn
they HE them to exceedingly deep water
in the sea and there deposit their eggs.
From the egg comes little ribbon-shap-
ed creature, the laryal form. In due
course this changes into an eel of still
smaller size. strange to say. and these
small cells or elyers afterward ascend our
rivers and there remain until they reach
maturity, when they in their turn descend
to the sea and history is repeated
