If One Round Jack Hogan hopes TO
continue in the boxing business in San

to the four round game and blossom out
as full fedged professional Chief Of
Police Seymour already has written the
name of Hogan in his blacklist book
SO far as the four round game goes
Now Hogan may as well take this hint
This means that the four round sport
is practically crushed. There is no
chance for the promoters to make any
money out Of 1t unless they put on big
cards, and as soon as one of the boys
advances to the state where he gets
good money he is classed with the pro-
fessionals.
Sam Fitzpatrick is doing the best he
can to get a match for his boy, Antoine
la Grave, but he seems to be out of
luck. Sam is willing to send La Grave
in against Hogan at 1913 pounds three
hours before the contest, or he will
also take a chance against Packy Nc
Farland at 135 pounds. The truth is
that he showed up little too well. for
now lot of them are ready to sidestep
any advances he may make. La Grave
and Mcfarland would furnish an at
traction that would bring the fans for
miles around. Now it's up TO Packy
to take on the local boy or remain out

Trousers Tax in France.

In France women are taxed from
$40 to $3.50 year for the privi-
lege of wearing mems trousers. This,
however, does not accord to every
woman willing to pay the tax the right
to don such garments On the con-
trary, the government confers the
right only as tribute to great merit,
making it, in fact, sort of decora-
ton given to women as the ribbon Of
the Legion of Honor is given to men.
The only women to whom has been
granted the right to wear male attire
were George Sand, Rosa Bonheur
Nine. Dieulafoy, the Persian archae-
ologist, Nine. Foucalt and the sculp-
tors, Mesdames Fourreau and La jean
etc.
An instance of the jealous care with
which in France this right has been
guarded was shown in the case of
Nine. de Valsayre, the lady who, some
years ago became so we'll known by
reason of her propensity for fighting
duels and her endeavors to get elected
to the French assembly. Her petition
to the government for the right in
question was refused time and time
again.

what occurred. The fisherman had

He was not playing the fish at all.
With rod held straight ahead he was
slowly and steadily Keeling him in.
How he managed to hold the fish was
beyond me.
Presently the fish was directly be-

No-he kept on Keeling the fish in,

ELECTRIC PEN BALKS FORGER
Inventive Native Of India Brings Out
instrument by Which sigma
ture Is Burned.

Since commercial paper took its
place in commercialism the probable
ity of forgery of signatures has trou-
bled the public quite as much as the
possibility of counterfeiting bank
notes and coins. News that an inven-
tive native of the Asiatic Indian pen.
insula has baked the forger, seeming
ly for all time, will be read with
material interest.
Doctor Ghadiali, in London, has
brought out the electric pen, by
means of which the signature of the
person Is burned through and through
the paper in minute dots. His system
follows in measure the modern can
collation. of check or draft by the per-
forating stamp. Once a rubber stamp
imprinting the word paid" upon the
face of such paper was sufficient; in
the up-to-date banking house, however.
the rule is established wisely pro-
viding that the word shall be stamped
with perforating machine which ever
thereafter defaces the paper.
In brief, this new electrical pen IS
carried in clip connecting its point
with an electric current of 10000
volts. Not until the writer has taken
hold of the stylographic writing in
strument and applies the finger pres
sure to close the electric circuit is the
pen point active.
A small desk with a glass cover
serves to carry the apparatus. Over
this outer glass cover is a sheet of
aluminium, upon which the piece of pa
per rests. With the pen clasped in
the hand and it's point brought down
close to the paper, cracking spark
darts down through the paper toward
the inviting aluminium Thereafter the
writer moves the point of the pen just
as he would do in writing with an
ordinary fountain pen trailing an ink
line after. The difference is that by
regulation of the sparkling current
holes of different sizes and frequency
may be effected, each spark burning
in proportion as the current is in
creased
Moreover this electric signature is
impossible of erasure. Virtually all
bank papers are chemically treated 50
that application of moisture in any
way disfigures any spot which it
touches. The only way in which to
effect the erasure of the electric sig
nature would be to force paper pulp
into the punctures, which would bo
impossible.
