You know what Bengalis are; that

like this In the dunes would kill him.

Der concluded he seemed TO find what

expectedly out OF the house.

charged with meaning: as you know
Of old" The Bengal drew himself
Up, holding up his head and rolling
forth his phrases In a voice Of great
and depth. These be the
words OF the Voice, hazoor:

fear may pass within; to the end that
the Body be purged OF the Scarlet
Evil.

The sonorous accents subsidized, and
q tense wait ensued, none speaking.
Rutton stood in stony apathy, his eyes
lifted TO q dim corner OF the ceiling,

ranging far beyond the dr'sary confines
OF the cabin In the dunes. Minute

Unheeded, the box dropped to the

ELBERFELD COULDN'T
 AGREE WITH GRIFFITH
Reason Why New Washington Manager Sent Veteran In-
 fielder to Minors

There seems to be some doubt as to whether request for waivers on Kid Elberfeld by Clark Griffith, the new manager of the Washington Senators, was really caused by a lame hip, as stated in Cincinnati report, or whether it was the reopening of the old sore that found a place in Grif- fith's side when the latter was sue ceeded by Elberfeld as manager of the New York Yankees a few years ago. It is known by many that Griffith and Elberfeld have been only lukewarm since Norman supplanted Griff as the Highlander pilot.
 According to the Cincinnati report, however, Elberfeld has been troubled with bad hip for some time, but kept it secret from the Washington club physician until after the close of the season, the statement coming now that he may be forced to retire perma- nently from baseball. He is winter ing now at his mountain home in AL bion View, Tenn, where it is said he has to undergo treatment regularly twice a week. This report says that the Tobasco Kid had asked for his re- lease soon after the announcement of Griffith's engagement as manager which is probably @ fact.

ISIX DAY RIDERS NOW
 TRYING TO BREAK RECORD
Madison Square Garden damned When Annual Endurance
 Event. Starts
Especial from United Press.) )


 New York, Dec. 11-With all the rid CTS tied, the 15 teams that got away at one minute past midnight. today in the six day bicycle race in Madison Square garden, are several miles be- hind the record now and are showing no indication yet of hitting up a live ly pace.
 The garden was damned when the men were sent away, this morning, and several thousand persons remain ed in the enclosure all night hoping to see hair raising sprints. They saw few real sprints but they witnessed numerous spills. There is a bad spot in the northeast turn of the track which has thrown more than a dozen riders and where serious accidents are expected before the week is end ed. The early interest centers in the work of the German pair, Lorenz and Soldow, who are making their initial bow in New York but who bring great records from abroad
 A furious sprint. in which Jackie Clark, Eddie Root and Jimmy Mor- an took turns, caused the teams of Wiley and Calvin and Ryan and Cav anaugh to lose a lap, just before the eleventh hour ended. After the sprint Lorenz was thrown but only slightly hurt.
 At noon, after riding 12 hours, the thirteen leading teams had covered 26S miles, laps, with two teams one lap behind. The record is 271 miles, ( laps.

Expect o'Brien To Help Boston Club
Detroit Owner Thinks Former Hartford Pitcher Will be
 Sensation Next Season

Detroit, Dec. 11-"Boston is the team that will show the most inn provement in 1912 in the American League" said President Frank J. Ma win of the Tigers. just before he left for New York for the league meeting.
 "O'Brien is the man who will put them in the running. He didn't pitch a bad game after he joined, and he faced the hardest propositions in the league just when they needed games most. So if there ever was true 1Rr,en test of .at a young v players ability a 'He came in like Cy Young did, late in the season with the race at it's height, and he made good just as Cy did, in way, in feet, that fore casts career that may rival Young's.
 'Of course the coming back of Jake Aleer's presence. But O'Brien is the man that will make Boston play like champions. When a team has a man like that on it's pitching staff it keeps its nerve. It can go into series against even the worlds champions mands, there is a man handy who can go in twice in the series and have better than an even chance of Win- ming both times.
 1.-The Bostons were great team last year. with the exception that their pllChCIS WOIC ulii cildUlG, IlhS our OWL One man like O'Brien will be enough to bolster up a staff like Boston's. and give the team the nerve to play the game that wins. If Wood, Cicotte or Hall, all fine pitchers, as long as they can keep their gait, go along for most of a game pitching shut-out ball, as they used to last year. then weaken a bit, the fact that O'Brien is there, ready and able to mow down the best batters, will make the entire team keep it's nerve.''

DANIEL FAHRENHEIT.
(Pall Mall Gazette.)

In view of the abnormal weather which we have had last summer we think a tribute of respect should be paid toi the memory of Gabriel Dan iel F'aAhrenheit, who was born on Septem Der 16, either in 1736 or TAO, it is hard to say which. Before his day several attempts had been made to measure the heat level, not the heat, by tubes containing oil of spir- it's of wine, but it lay with a bank rupt merchant of Dantzig to show how the feat could be successfully accomplished.
 The first therm ometers were made with spirits of wine, but the ingenious Gabriel soon adopted mercury as his medium, and soft has remained to this day. His instruments speedily became known throughout the world, and though a more rational method of graduation has since been adopt ed, the popular mind still clings to the Faahrenheit scale. Our own Royal society thought highly of this humble inventor and acknowledged his genius by making him one of it's fellows. To the Transactions" of the society he contributed several pa-
 pers.
