act temperature and nature Of the
atmosphere which surrounds the
world.
Ten balloons have now been sent up
from Huron. All Of the data from
the instruments will not be worked
out until they are returned to Wash
ington, d. c. The experts have pre-
pared a few records from two of the
sets OF instruments that have beer re-
turned to Huron. Those found near
Doone, Ia, show that the highest al
titude reached by the balloon was SO
miles above the earth and at this al
tltude the temperature was 46.3 de-
grees Fahrenheit below zero. Upon
lea ng the earth the temperature was
S7.3 degrees above zero. The coolest
temperature recorded on the trip was
Ia s biles above the earth when it reg
istered 60 degrees below zero. At this
point is what scientists term the in
version zone.
The instruments from the balloon
which reached the earth near Brook
ings, S. D., showed that it had reach
ed an altitude of 81 miles and the
temperature at this point was ST. de-
grees below zero. This was the cold
est temperature recorded during the
flight and at the time of leaving the
earth the temperature was IT'S de-

Can Gotch Beat Zbyszko?
Wrestling Fans Are Puzzled

game is controlled by about four
men in Chicago, who are out to get
all the money they can. Conse-
quently they kept Zbyszko busy,
travelling all over the country and
in many cases meeting men planted
in the towns by the men in on the
combine. These same men are re-
sponsible for the poor standing pro.
fessional wrestling now has. but ap-
parently the wrestlers are content
to let them continue building the
game.
Now they have decided that it is
up to them to put Gotch and
Zbyszko together, and Chicago has
offered $4,000 purse for the
match. If Gotch loses-well he has
been wrestling since 1899, and he
was never known to let go of any
change or to overlook a chance to
pick up some easy money. For in
stance. his celebrated match with
Fred Beel at New Orleans. So
Gotch has enough money to retire
and keep himself prosperous the
rest of his days.
ZbyszkO has a better chance to
beat the Iowa giant than any sother
man Gotch has tackled, and, in the
opinion of the writer, he will turn
the trick. He will outweigh Gotch
fully 80 pounds, and is as tricky as
the Iowan was when he was at his
best.

When Frank Gotch meets Zbysz-
ko, the giant Pole, the Iowa farmer
will tackle the hardest man he has
been against since he became cham
pion of the heavyweight wrestling
division. This isn't any press agent
boost, as the records the Pole has
made in this country bears me out.
Recognizing the ability of this
giant, the followers of wrestling are
wondering about Gotch. Not if he
can come back, because, unlike JEFF
fries, he doesn't have to come back,
ing the Pole is sure to hand him.
Gotch has been taking things easy
for over a year now, occasionally
going out in the brush and meeting
some local celebrity, easy for him.
The hardest match he has had since
he met Hackenschmidt was when
he attempted to throw Zbyszko at
Buffalo last year. And try as he did
the Iowan couldn't throw his oppo-
nent in an hour Indeed, there were
critics at the matside who believed
Zbyszko would have won had the
match been permitted to 60 to a
finish.
There is no reason why the two
men shouldn't have met long before
this and settled the question as to
which one is the champion.

There is strong probability that
pretty fight will be waged on
the floor of the city council next
Tuesday night when the assess
ment roll of the Brownies addition
paving contract comes up for APP
proval.
A suit over this contract is pend
ing in the superior court, in which.
It is alleged. that all things con-
nected with the award of the con-
tract are not exactly on the level.
This is the big melon that The
Press has spoken of in the past,
and the effort to defeat the cut
ting" has not yet died out.
The contract with the Hill com
pany of Chicago amounts to S512.-
600, but the contract is not finally
ratified until the city council APP
proves the assessment roll This
roll comes up next Tuesday night
and if the protestants against the
approval of the contract make the
fight they have promised to make

BROOKLYN, May 1.-Two ships
like Uncle Sans new Florida could
wipe out the Dewey fleet that
whipped Spain. The Florida, built
in the Brooklyn navy yards by
Uncle Sam himself, at a cost of
$6,000,000, is the highest type of
the 20 new battleships that have
been built since the Spanish Amer
lean war.
The forward strides of the Amer
lean navy have been so rapid that
the average citizen does not fully
realize them. Since the Spanish
war the fleet has been rebuilt, or
rather, replaced, by vessels vastly
larger than the fighting machines
that Dewey used so successfully.
The Florida weighs 10000 tons
more than Dewey's ship: it is
longer by the length of half city
block; it will carry more coal by a
whole freight train load than any
of Dewey's ships. The Florida is
an all e gun ship, with 10 - inch
guns and 16 five inch guns. The
best of the Dewey ships had only
four of the II inch guns.
The Florida can hurl four and a
quarter tons of steel in a broadside :;
the best of Dewey's ships had a
brOadside of only a ton and three
quarters.
The sister ship of the Florida, the
Utah, will be launched shortly. The
Wyoming and the Arkansas are still
to be launched. They will be the
largest ships in the navy and will
hold that honor until the two ships,
arranged for during the last con-
gress, each to displace $1,000 tons,
are put in service. The Florida dis
places 21,S25 tons, which indicates
