New and Valuable Alloy.

The new "elektron metal" of a Ger
man firm is series of alloys claimed
to be fitted for many uses by their
lightness and great strength They
consist chiefly of magnesium, but the
added metals vary in kind and proper
tons. giving a considerable range of
properties. The alloys. with a specific
gravity of LIS to 2, are much lighter
than aluminium. They possess great
tenacity and elasticity. are easily
worked and have a beautiful silyery
luster. but in air become coated with
protective film of oxide. 1t is esti-
mated that by substituting this ma
terial for aluminium for the frame of a
Zeppelin airship the weight would be
reduced from 10000 to 1000 pounds,
with no loss in strength

AUTOMOBILE HOLDS
RECORD FOR SPEED

The possibilities of speed already
reached by an automobile furnishes
an interesting comparison with the
speed that has been attained by otner
vehicles, by birds and human beings.
What will be done at the indian
apolis speedway this week makes the
comparison timely.
The fastest mile ever driven Is that
by Barney Oldfeld in his Bitten
Benz at Daytona, when he recently
travelled that distance in 1888 sec
onds, or at the rate of 1915 miles an
hour. Light, sound and bullets seem
10 be the only things that can go
any faster.
A compilation OF speed records that
shows the marvel of such swtftness
follows:
Motor car-Oldfield. mile, 1888,
or 1915 miles per hour.
Electric trolley car-12S.55 miles
per hour, in German government test.
1902.
steam locomotive--100 miles per
hour. March, 1901, on Plant System,
In Florida.
Carrier pigeon--S5.6 miles per hour,
In 1900; bird owned by a Buffaio
man.
Motorcycle-Mile on three-lap cir
cuIar track, July 81, 1903. by FREQ
Hlyck. in AZ 3-5, or 84.5 miles per hour.
Bicycle-Paul Gulgnard, at Munich,
Sept. 10. 1909, SO miles per hour.
Motor Boat--37 SO miles per hour.
by Dixie ii. on Hudson course, Sept.
IL, 1909.
Running Horse-37.6 miles per
hour, by Salvador, at Monmouth park
track, straightaway mile in 1875 l-2,
August rs, 1890,
Pacing Horse-32.43 miles per hour,
by Dan Patch, at st. Paul, Sept. 3.
1906. mile In 1855.
Aeroplane--49.99 miles per hour. by
Delagrange, at Dorchester, England
Another record OF 80 miles, not OFF,
cial, is credited to him.
Steamship-30.53 miles per hour, by
Mauretania, June, 1909.
Trotting Horse-30.37 miles per

Stuart the man who promoted the bout
and made 1t possible. After being
chased from pillar TO post, Stuart
finally got the legislature of Nevada
to pass a bin legalizing prize lights.
He had originally intended to hold the
fight In Dallas. Tex, where he would
have reaped a fortune, as thousands

JEFF LONGS FOR
REAL OPPONENTS
Heavyweight Would Secure Two
Able Bodied Young Men To Serve
As Human Punching Bags.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 25.-Two
husky, able-bodied young heavy
weights who can take a lot OF pun.
melting can find a good job at Ro-
wardennan acting as human punching
bags for James ]. Jeffries.
The big fellow is searching for some
live heavyweights to give him active
fighting and 1t is expected that IN q
day or two he will have the men he
needs.
The announcement that Jack John.
son and Billy Delaney were flirting
with each other and that Jeff's former
trainer and handler would probably
take charge OF the Johnson camp Inn
mediately, was received with glad ac-
claim by the followers of the Negro.
Delaney thus far has refused to make
public his decision in the matter. but
he held a long conference yesterday
with Johnson, after which 1t was prac-
tically admitted that II he did not
have active charge OF the training,
he would at least be in Johnson's cor
ner on the day of the fight.
The action of the police committee

probably be accepted by the board at
its next meeting. There now seems
no chance to prevent the fight In Fris-
co. Ministers protested to the police
committee, but the entire business
community seemed to favor the fight
and the committee urged the board OF
supervisors to grant the permit.
The Downtown association, the Ho-
tel Mems association and a number
of the largest business organizations
in San Francisco met today in the St
Francis hotel to devise plans for on
setting the fight being waged by the
ministers. The business mems slogan
is I'VE want the fight" and they will
try to show that the sentiment of the
whole city is for the granting of the
permit.
