coIors Warm and Cold.

One clear. cold winters day Benja- min Franklin spread a number of handkerchiefs carefully on a level stretch of snow. One of the handker- chiefs was black. another white and the others of various colors. Some time afterward he returned and re- moved the hankerchiefs carefully one by one, measuring the depth of snow under each. Under the black handker- chief he found that the snow had melt ed considerably; under red handker- chief, almost as much; under a blue hankerchief, very little, and under the white one scarcely any. By this simple experiment he learned that color has a great deal to do with the warmth of clothing White shse the suns heat almost as we'll as an oilskin sheds water; blue is nearly as heat proof; green is less so; yellow is warm color. red still warmer color. while black soeks up almost all the suns heat that strikes it. Make the experiment some time and you will see why black clothes are out of place in the summer time and white ducks in winter Christian Herald.

Gleason Unable
 To Buy Bostons
Fight Promoter Couldn't t Raise Price to Purchase
 National Tailenders

Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-The negotiations for the sale of the minority interest of the Boston National league club to Jack Gleason, the San Francisco prize fight promoter, have been call ed off. This was announced by Pres ident William Hepburn Russell, the owner of the team. The inability of Gleason to raise the $30,OO0 with which to purchase the club stock was the reason given for the calling off the deal.u
 The Boston club is not for sale, and Owner Russell stated that he has no idea of disposing of his team. He said he is going to strengthen his team, and will not be averse to spend ing the cash for good players. When President Russell returned to his ho, tel after the game at Forbes Field a telegram from Gleason awaited him in which he stated he could not raise the money. The following message was then sent by the owner to Secre- tary Kelly, of the Boston club:
 Regret Gleason's inability to meet his contract, but he acted the man in admitting it, and I entertain for him the warmest personal regard. This leaves me in full control, and I ex- pect Murphy and his friends will be my only associates. Will spare neither time nor money in the effort to give the Boston fans winning team next season.
 Russell denied the report that he contemplated trading or selling Sweeney. He has other trades, how ever, under contemplati tion.

The e<aI Ring.

The seal ring is known to be the oldest style of ring. It dates back to the days of the Old Testament, and products of the glyptic art. as gem en- graving was called, were known fn the most remote times. Tn Exodus xviii, 17-20, mention is made of the following stones. upon which the names of the twelve children of Israel were engraved: The safdius. the topaz. the carbuncle. the emerald. the sap phire, the diamond. the figure, the agate. the amethyst. beryl. onyx and jasper. In verse of the same chap ter we find mention of the engraving of signets upon the hardest stones. It is believed that the Egyptians instruct ed the Israelites in the art of stone engraving. The Egyptians used the lapidary's wheel and emery powder and knew the use of the diamond in engraving other hard stones. Among the Assyrian and Babylonian ruins were found fine specimens of sfgnets on gems, many of them set in rings.

China,s EIoatinu Islands.

On all the great lakes of China are found floating islands, which are enor- nous rafts of bamboo overlaid with earth and bearing on the surface of the~water pretty houses and gardens. They are. in fact, aquatic farms, bear ing crops of rice and vegetables. The rich bottom mud. utilized as an artifi- cial soil, is extremely fertile and yields bountiful harvests. though on small scale. In country where there is lack of available land the floating plantations are most serviceable, large sails being attached to the dwelling house as we'll as to each corner of the island whenever it is desired to move about After gathering a crop of grain or garden produce from his farm the floating farmer casts his nets into the water and from their depths brings up supply of fish for his family.

The Thunderer's Louooraphs.

Some of the most serious riots re- corded in the printing trades occurred in 1914, when the London Times was first printed by steam, and number of workmen discharged through this innovation sought to wreck the office in Printing House square. Long be- fore this the Times had been printed logOgraphically-that is to say, the pro- prietor conceived the happy idea of having words cast entire to save the compositors the trouble of collecting type. The logographs most in demand were: Dreadful. robbery, atrocious out rage, fearful calamity. alarming ex- plosion, loud cheers. interesting fe- male. One hundredweight of each of these was always kept in stock. h. teresting females no longer figure in newspaper reports. but otherwise the cliches of journalism seem to have al- tered but little.-London Chronicle.

Sherwood Magee May
 Lose Chalmers Trophy
Philadelphia Star Had Good Chance for Automobile Prize Until Suspended

Unless. the suspension of Sherwood Magee is lifted 1t is likely again to cost Magee very good chance at the Chalmers Automobile Trophy.
 Last year a great many National League fans felt that it was unfortun- atet inasmuch as two automobiles were given away, that both should go to American League players.
 It will be remembered that the con- test between Ty Cobb and Lajoie was so close that Hugh Chalmers gave an automobile to each of these great bats men. Both Cobb and Lajoie had wonderful seasons last year, and their averages were much higher than any of the National League batters. Des- bite this, Sherwood Magee led the Ma tional League by a good margin over all the other players who had partici- pated in anything like the full sea- sons games. He finished the sea- son with percentage of 1881.
 Had the competition last year been confined to batters, but also provided for car to be given to one player in each league, as it is this year, the two cars would have gone to Cobb and Magee. Naturally, leading his own league and not being rewarded was a great disappointment to Magee and his enthusiastic Philadelphia support CTS.
 
 performance of last year in the Ma tional League he no doubt would have beeen given large share of the credit for the wonderful showing the Phillies are making this season, and undoubtedly would have received careful consideration by the commit tee of newspaper men who are to de- eide on the winners of the trophy this year. This would have been true had Magee not had his run-in with the umpire.
 The two automobiles which are e be awarded this year go to the one player in each league who, in the opinion of this committee of newspa- per men, has done the most for. his club in its league race. The conduct on and off the field is one of the things to be considered. Accordingly, the fact that President Lynch has ruled that Magee is to blame in his contro- versy with the umpire and has sus- pended him for the season would remove Magee's name from consider ation by the Chalmers Trophy com mittee this year.

 ON WATERBURY GROUNDS
Conn. League Directors Hear That Brass
 City Trouble Has Been Adjusted

Hartford, Aug. 1.-Boss O'Neil will finish the season playing his home games at the Rockville grounds in Waterbury. Yesterday afternoon aft CT a lengthy conference with Harry Pagan, owner of the park and repre- sentatives of the Waterbury com pany that leases the grounds, it was agreed that if O'Neil paid the rental of the park, he could have the use of the ball field for the remainder of the season. O'Neil agreed to pay the rental and will not have to pay the S1,500 due for stock which the com pany was holding him up for.
 The state league directors, minus Jack Teller of Springfield, who was in Boston and Gene McCann who had a pressing engagement at a Bridge port tailor's. met yesterday afternoon at Hotel Garde here, prepared to as- sist Boss O'Neil in his trouble. But as the matter was adjusted before hand, there was really no need of the meeting.

Cheeky John Eors.er

In William Harrison Ainsworth and His Friends the author. S. NJ. Ellis. tells a quaint story of Ainsworth and his friend John Forster. Ainsworth mad discovered a fine set of HOgarth's s engravings which was held at f5. a sum which, he said. 'I could not just then spare or at least did not think l ought to spare. 1 took John Forster down to see the Hogarths. whereupon he actually said that he would and must have them himself and as he had not f5 of loose money at that moment l should lend that sum to him. pointed out the absurdity of the posi- tion-that I wanted the engravings for myself and could not afford to lay out the money: how. then. could I lend it. to him? It was of no use. He over ruled me. had the f5 of me and bought the Hogarths I was longing for"

there, some one moved that they talk over the umpire situation, as custom ary. President Tracy stated that he did not know what to do about um- pires and asked for suggestions He said he tried to land Fitzmaurice, the old New Haven player, but Fftzy wouldn't take a chance and so he is still holding onto Fido Sutton in hopes of getting a. more competent official soon. ..
 Boss O'Neil was much peeved over the reported fight between Jack Zei- Ter, of Springfield and himself Sun day in Waterbury He told Presi- dent Tracy the report sent out by the Associated Press was much ex- aggerated and untrue. He said he only pushed Teller against the fence and no blows were struck by either of them. Bill Carey, Zeller's partner, also testified that the fight was a tame one and shouldn't really be calledsa fight. It was more of a bluff than anything else and so President Tracy will overlook the matter, as usual.

Crack Waterbury Finger Sold to Connie Mack For Fall
 Delivery

Reggie Brown, O'NeiPs prize pitch CT, has been sold to the Philadelphia Americans for delivery at the end of the season. Tom O'Brien, scout for Connie Mack, has been watching Brown work for several weeks and is said to have closed the deal several days ago. Brown was covered up'' by the Pittsburg Nationals last sea- son. This year he started off in gresst form for O'Neil over in New Br. tain, but lately he has not been as effective as earlier in the season, be- cause he has been used too often. When O'Nen recently sold his New Britain club he took Brown with him, giving New Britain Pitcher Lower in exchange. Half a dozen big league clubs have been looking Brown over and at one time 1t was thought that Pittsburg would pick him up.

Oddities of the Printing Shop.
 Here is a row of capital letters and figures of ordinary size and shape just as you will find them in the daily newspaper:
 SSSSXXXXZZZZ332
 They are such as are made up of two parts of similar form. Look carefully at these and you will perceive that the upper halves of the characters are q very little smaller than the lower halves, so little that. at mere glance, you would declare them to be of equal size. Now turn this page upside down. and without any careful looking you will see that the difference in size is very much exaggerated-that the real top half of the letter is very much smaller than the other half. It will be seen by this that there is a tendency in the eye to enlarge the upper part of any object upon which 1t looks Thus two circles of unequal size might be drawn and so placed that they would appear exactly alike.-New York World.

Tho Moves In Chess.

In the number of possible moves chess stands alone among games, and not only is it perfectly safe to say that no living man has ever made even once every possible move, but it is highly improbable that in all the cen turies of the history of the game has every possible move been made. The different ways of playing the first four moves on each side are so numerous that if every man. woman and child in city of half a million population were to set to work playing them at the rate of four moves a minute night and day it would be more than a year before any one would be able to leave the chessboard.

Matt Wells Will
 Fight For Title
English Boxer to Meet Win CT of Wolgast-M McFarland
 Bout

Matt Wells, the English fighter, is likely to be given c hance to win the lightweight championship of the world.
 After great deal of dickering it has been practically arranged. to have the English lightweight champion meet the winner of the battle at Milwau- kee on Sept. 15, between Ad Wolgast and Packey Mcfarland. Wells will have to make 133 pounds at 3 o'clock for the fight. This, however, should not be difficult for Wells, who has re- peated1y stated that he can make that poundage.
 It will be remembered that Wells had an opportunity to meet McFar- land at Milwaukee at the end of this month before the Badger Club. The fight, however, was dropped owing to the stubbornness of either Wells or his manager, George Mcdonald.
