In Many Ways It is Most Remark
able Substance.
One Of the great advantages Of glyc-
erin in its chemical employment Is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evapo-
rates under any ordinary temperature.
No perceptibIe loss by evaporation has
been detected at a temperature less
than 200 degrees T., but if heated in
tensely it decomposes with a smell that
few persons find themselves able to en-
dure. 1t burns with a pale flame, sim
liar to that from alcohol, il heated to
about 300 degrees and then ignited.
Its nonevaporative qualities make the
holding pigments and colors, as In
stamping and typewriter ribbons, car
bon papers and the like.
IL the pure glycerln be exposed for a
long time to freezing temperature 1t
crystallizes with the appearance of
once melted, 1t is almost an impossible
ity to get them again into the CONCEAL
ed state. IL little water be added to
the glycerin no crystallizatlon will take
place, though under a sufficient degree
of cold the water will separate and
form crystals, amid which the glycerin
will remain in its natural state Of fluid
ity. If suddenly subjected to intense
cold, pure glycerln will form a gummy
mass which cannot be entirely harden
ed or crystalliZed. Altogether il Is
quite a peculiar substance.

WRESTLING PROVES
To BE ATTRACT ION
Revival Of the Once Popular SpOrl
Drew Good Crowd Of Spectators
to Auditorium Last Night.

A wrestling show of good order
pleased a fair-sized crowd of SPORT
followers in the Auditorium last
night. 1t was the first time in a
lew years that real wrestling show
had been undertaken In this vicinity
and the result was gratifying to the
Auditorium management Had not
the summer been SO close at hand, a
wrestling tournament would un-
doubtedly have been started. Wres-
.tling has always found its way into
the hearts of local sport followers
since that great Danish grappler, H.
Hansen, made such good showings
here.
Five good wrestling matches and
burlesque boxing bout was pre-
sented at the opening show last
night. A ring, twenty by twenty
feet in size, located in the center of
the floor, was used. The interior
settings gave the halt the appearance
OF one where a boxing exhibition
was to be given and it is very likely
that few good snappy sparring
matches would have attracted wider
attention.
w. Taylor, Of the East Side A. c.,
Brooklyn, and ]. Gibson, Of New
York, were matched at 120 pounds,
in the opening bout. The match
was tame for time, but faster work
soon developed and after eighteen
minutes Gibson became the victor,
according to Referee o. Olsen. Glib
son had his man down in the eigh-
teenth minute, but fans at the ring
side doubt Taylor was pinned suffl-
ciently to warrant the referee to
claim Gibson the victor.
Albert Manton, of this city, and
beo Barron, of the Polish A. c.,
Brooklyn, met in the 125-pound
class. They put up brilliant per-
formance while it lasted. Manton
was floored in five minutes and forty
five seconds. Manton is somewhat
OF an athlete. He is an excellent
wrestler and II he kept in trim, it
is believed he would rank among the

The Rarbarous suitee.

Suttee, or the practice of immolat-
Ing widows on their husbands funeral
pyres In India, was first attacked by
the British government in 1929. 1t
was on Dec. 4 of that year that Lord
William Bentinck carried resolution
in council by which all who abetted
suttee were declared guilty Of "culpa-
BILE homicide" In the year 1917 700
widows were burned alive In Bengal
alone, but since the passing of the act
the practice has entirely died out.
Suttee was really a primitive rite, a
survival from barbarous times, and
not sanctioned by Hindooism, the pas
sage in the Yedas supporting 1t being
willful mistransIation. But no pre-
vious governor had the courage to vlo-
late the British tradition Of religious
federation Lord william Bentinck
also suppressed thuggIsm. which made

ter Of Attraction.

Sirius, the Dog Star, May Be the Con.
ter Of Attraction.
Astronomers once believed that the
entire starry universe reyoIved around
q center of attraction, and the star
named Alcyone, In the group Of the
Pleiades, was selected by Maedler as
marking that great center
1t has long been known, however,
that Maedler's conclusion, which was
based on the apparent motions of the
stars, was incorrect. and IL any uni
versal center exists Ii has not yet been
discovered. In fact, many of the stars
seem TO be moving in straight lines,
some In one direction and some in an
other, and among these is our own
sun. But IL is possible that further
observations VIII show that all the
stars are really moving in curved lines
In the meantime 1t has been found
that there are certain groups or sets
of stars which appear TO travel togeth-
er. To what set, if any, the sun be-
longs we do not yet know, but De-
launey has presented reasons for
thinking that those stars whose dis
fances have been measured chat is to
say, those which are nearest to us)
group themselves around Sirius, the
dog star, IN manner similar to that
In which the inner planets are group
ed around the sun.
If this be correct Sirius may possi-
bly, be the master sun Of which our
orb of day is distant satellite

WATERS TEAM
AND MARIONS
NEXT SUNDAY

Albert G. Waters New Perth
Amboy nine and the Marion A. c..
are expected to meet at Amusement
Park next Sunday afternoon They
were to have clashed last Sunday,
SO as to give fans of this part of the
county an opportunity to see the
New Perth Amboys in action How
ever, rain interfered.
Manager Waters is anxious to
have his new aggregation clash with
some strong local team like the
Marions, so as to demonstrate the
relative strength of his players. As
soon as they have put away the
Marions they are going in to wallep
some of the crack semi-professional
teams of the east.
1t is believed that Manager
Waters new team will interest fans.
He has taken especial pains to Sc
cure the best material possible for
Sunday attractions in this vicinity.
His team ranks in class with the
Elizabeth Stars.

DORY RACES
AS SOON AS

General preparations for the COM

at meeting Of the Raritan Bay
Dory Association, to be held for that
purpose next Saturday night at the
Raritan Yacht Clubs headquarters.
Representatives from the six clubs
comprising the association will be on
hand.
A date will be set for the opening
event and it is probable that sched-
ule for the entire season will be
adopted. Rules and regulations to
govern the races will be formulated
and it is likely that a project for
other races outside of the associa-
ton schedule will be forwarded.
AS soon as the sails and general
equipmentaof the dories arrive a trial
contest may be held. AS told, the
vessels have arrived at Sewaren.

in the final bout, at 80 pounds. 1t

Rossel was on top of his man. They

complained of pains in his shoulder,
