Racing in New York Closes 2 l.2

FUTURITY is MOVED.
Richest Stake i'm America to Be

Grand Field of 2-Iear.Olds to
Battle for $40,

Saratoga, N. Y. Aug. 31.-With the
running today of the twenty-second
futurity, worth nearly $4,000, the
richest stake to be decided in Amer
lea, racing in the state of New York
will come to a close two and one-half
months earlier than usual. The new
anti-betting laws which take effect on
September 1, caused not Only the early
closing of the season, but the shifting
of the futurity from Sheepshead Bay,
where it has always been run, since it
was inaugurated in 1883. to the Sara
toga course.
The futurity. with the grandest field
of 2-year-o that has ever battled for
this historic event. was the magnet
that drew one of the largest crowds
that has ever witnessed a race in the
northern part of the state. The rum
ming of the futurity will be minus the

Fans As Bacteria Breeders.

Revolving fans are frequently used,
especially in hot weather, simply to
produce a cooling effect by setting up
a current of air inside. Mrs. A. Sar-
tory and A. F,ilasier have examined
the archaeological effect of these fans
and ventilators upon the atmosphere
within and have communicated results
to recent meeting of the Societe de
Biologie.
They find that these appliances enor-
mously increase the meteorological
content of the air. Their experiments
were numerous and varied. In a res
taurant of 400 cubic yards analysis of
the air before the fan was working
showed 1850 bacteria per cubic yard.
After working the fan for one hour
$4,000 bacteria and after two hours
As 900 bacteria.
In another cafe of 600 cubic yards
the number of bacteria rose from H.
900 to 39, 900 after the fan was working
for one hour. In every instance, in
fact, the number of bacteria to the
cubic yard was doubled or even quad
rupled.-Chicago Tribune.

Kettle of Fish,

The slang phrase "a kettle of fish"
really mean before 1t acquired its
present sense?
Colloquial, of course, but is it slang?
Without presuming to establish hard
and fast line of the Masons and the
Dixons in our speech it does seem
that 1900 might be a convenient divi-
sion, and to hold that any expression
now in use which can establish itself
in the eighteenth or earlier century
might be spared the slur that slang
generally implies. This locution GER.
tainly clears the limit thus proposed,
for it was first printed in 1742 in
Fieldings Joseph Andrews" Here's
pretty kettle of fish," cries Mrs.
Tow-wouse. Though most kettles OF
fish are pretty, this is by no means
the only adjective admitted. In Tom
Jones" there is "a rare kettle of fish,"
the Duke of Wellington in 1900 wrote
of "a fine kettle of fish" and in 1920
Lady Granville called her kettle Of
fish nice. 1t has been suggested that
this Kettle OF fish Is really the kid
die or weir in which fish are taken,
in effect the shad nets of the North
River may be kiddles Of fish. The
suggestion is plausible, but there Is
no evidence to prove the passage from
the weir to the pot. These kiddles
are part of the history Of the Tower
of London, for st. Thomas's tower,
the water gate. Traitors Gate of
bloody fame, was largely built from
the license tax which the Bishop OF
Rochester levied on the kiddles in the
Lea, the Midway and the Thames.

BIG ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES
Which Help Western River to Oper-
ate a Railroad Tunnel.

Electric locomotives are now shut
Ting trains back and forth through
the two mile tunnel of the Great
Northern Railroad which pierces the
Cascade Mountains about hundred
miles east of Seattle. The locomo-
tives were built by the General Elec-
trio Company at Schenectady, N Y,
weigh 100000 pounds each, develop
more than 1000 continuous horse
power, and are capable Of delivering
traction effort of 10000 pounds.
The use of electric locomotives ELI
inmates the smoke and gases which
frequently overpowered engineers
and trainmen, imperilled the lives Of
passengers and delayed traffic. The
big electrics are capable Of hauling
the heaviest trains, steam locomotives
and all. up the steep grades, which
was impossible for steam locomotives
except those of the greatest kind.
The electrical equipment represents
the best practice and the latest devel-
opment of electrical engineering. The
Wenatchee River has been harnessed
about thirty miles south Of the tunnel,
where 10000 electrical horsepower Is
generated by the falling water. The
largest pipe line in the Northwest
carries the water from the dam to
the power house two miles below and
21O feet nearer sea level, where the
turbines change the energy into elec-
tricity, which is transmitted at $4,000
volts to the tunnel
On the descending grade the motors
will become generators and return
electrical energy to the line to assist
other trains climbing the hill on the
other side of the tunnel. This is the
first time this feature has ever been
successfully applied to railroad work
In America.

QUEER ENGLISH VILLAGES.
One Which Has No Public Building
Excet a Letter Box.

The English village is very dear to
the hearts of poets and painters, and
thousands of them are certainly
charming. A few, however, are more
amusing than anything else, as, for
instance, one which consists entirely
of old railway carriages, even the
chapel being composed Of four horse
trucsk.
Another village, with population
of LOO and taxed at the valuation OF
$4,000, has neither school, church nor
other public building, the only thing
Of the sort being letter box on a pill
lar.
Villages with but a single inhabi-
tant are not unknown, one of them
being Skiddaw in Cumberland, ac-
cordng to Harper's Weekly. The sim
gle villager complains bitterly be-
cause he cannot vote-there being no
overseer to prepare a voters list,
and no church or other public build
ing on which to publish one, as the
law requires.
The lonely ratepayer in Northum-
berland village has declined to con-
tribute money to maintain the roads,
remarlking that the one he has is quite
good enough for its use. In the Isle
of Ely is a little parish with about
dozen inhabitants that has no rates,
as there are no roads or public insti.
tutions of any kind and consequently
no expenses.
Kempton, near Bradford, can prob
ably lay successful claim to the dis
tinction of being the longest village
in the world, as it straggles along the
road for a distance of seven miles.
Sometimes a village will entirely dis
appear, having been built either on
the edge of the crumbling cliffs that
make part of the coastline, or over
an ancient mine. One of the latter
class is in Shropshire, and each year
ono or more of the cottages tumble
as the earth sinks beneath it.
