Largest Crowd of
Meeting Sees Fine
Racing at Pimlico

BALTIMORE. Oct. 15-The splendid
card offered yesterday brought out the
people. and the biggest crowd Of the
meeting made things lively at the old
track. It is not often that a program
of such quality as that Of yesterday is
served up with 80 many feature events
and fields Of such class.
The Walden might well claim to be
the star number Of the afternoon. and
it's running certainly aroused as much
interest as anything on the card.
The public was curious to see the
Wilson colt Penobscot. of which 1t had
heard so much, and which Is reputed
to be one of the topnotch youngsters
of the year. The entrance of such a
star unfortunately took all the specnla-
people overlooked that in the pleasure
they derived from seeing a really good
colt perform.
Penobscot won handily enough. al
though he had to be shaken up bit at
the end to stall off Missions rush.
The winner is a big slashing colt with
a bold way Of going: and should de
velop into a grand three-year-old. 1t
looked a little ominous, however. to see
his ankle painted with iodine.
The running of the race was marred
by a bit of rough riding on the part Of
Eddie Dugan that very nearly resulted
in a bad accident. Right at the start
Dugan rushed his mount, Mission, over
from the outside. piline the field up and

The Absolute Zero

What is the absolute zero of temper

purely conventional. The inventor of
the centigrade simply took for zero
the coolest temperature known in his
day, while Fahrenheit had even less
ground for his selection. Absolute
zero is point fixed by nature and
may be arrived at In variety of
ways. All gases expand or contract
equal amounts for every degree of
heat The amount Of 1878 Of their
volume for each degree centigrade.
Ii, then. gas is cooled down contin-
uously it must reach a point at which
further contraction is impossible. Ii
a gas loses 1878 of it's volume at each
downward degree of centigrade then
In 273 degrees it would exhaust this
power and become a solid: hence

Value Of Eat.

The popular view of the close Goa
nection between fat and good nature
and weight and balance is not wholly
without rational foundation. Fat. I'm
pleasant and stodgy as it is. is one of
the most valuable tissues in the hu-
man body, and any man who reduces
his share of it below a certain reason
able level not only takes the smooth
edge off his temper and balance off his
powers of Judgment. but exposes all
of his higher tissues. notably the mus
cular, nervous and secreting. to dan
ger of both starvation and disease. A
moderate cushion of fat is one of the
best buffers and bucklers against the
"slingS and arrows of outrageous for
tune" whether in the form of. disease
germs or in strains upon endurance.
The man who makes himself into a
lean and hungry Cassius even with the
best Of intentions lis very apt to get
himself into a state of both mind and
body where he is more fit for treason,
stratagem and spoils than for comfort

Princes az School.

DR.. Marks tells some amusing sto-
ries Of the early days of the school IN
Burma of which he was for so many
years the head. Shortly after the
school was opened King Thebaw said,
will you teach some of my sons?"
"Certainly," said DR.. Marks. What
ages do, you like them att" DR.. Marks
replied, From twelve to fourteen"
The king said, Bring all my sons be
tween twelve and fourteen to me-"
Nine princes came in. Four came to
school the next day, each riding on an
elephant and with two gold umbrel-
las. Each also was escorted by forty
soldiers. Afterward the whole nine
came, so there were nine princes, nine
elephants, eighteen gold umbrellas and
$50 soldiers. The eli shants stayed
outside, but when the princes came
into the schoolroom all the other boys
threw themselves fat down on their
faces on the ground. 1t was forbid
den for any one to stand or sit in the
presence of princes. DR.. Marks found
this state Of things very inconvenient,
and the royal etiquette at school was
at his request considerably abated.-
