A Fairly Wet World.

The Pacific ocean covers 6S,000,0 900
miles, the Atlantic 100000 and the
Indian, Arctic and Antarctic 100000.
To stow away the contents of the Pa
cific it would be necessary to fill a
tank one mile long, one mile wide and
one mile deep every day for 440 years.
Put in figures, the Pacific holds In
weight 94s 200. OOO. 900 .OO0, 100000 tons.
The Atlantic averages a depth OF
not quite three miles. Its water weighs
s25. 200. 000, 0O0. 000, 0O0, 900 tons, and a
tank to contain it would have each of
its sides 43 miles long. The figures
of the other oceans are in the same
startling proportions. 1t would take
all the sea water in the world 100000
years to flow over Niagara.

Athens, Ga, March 16-The blizzard
weather in New York was reflected here

practice. All work was deferred until
afternoon, by which time the weather
had moderated a great deal.
The various pitchers had a long warm

his splitter, but tried no speed with it.
Queen and Fisher used a good deal of
speed in the warming up and were
coached by Chase and Farrell. Fisher

undertook to take ii easy. While he
was doing this the Colts bumped him
so hard that they made runs enough in
one inning to win.
Roach and Albles were both sufficiently

Los Angeles, March 16.-The fact that

it a guarantee that he will win. 1t bears,
however, the promise that he will put up

WoIgast But the brands of confidence
differ. Memsic is bubbling over with self

way. He has the impression that nothing
short of wretched luck in the shape of
fractured arms and kindred accidents has
kept him from being in the forefront of
light weights. He feels 1t is up to him
to tell of his confidence with all the elo-

himself possesses.
Wogast assumes that his confidence is
something that is taken for granted
that it is part of the champions stock
in trade. He tells of what he expects to
accomplish tomorrow afternoon in more
sober vein than his opponent. He has
everything to lose and is therefore in
Clined to look beyond tomorrow: Mem
sic, on the other hand, has no thought
apparently for anything but the job in
hand. 1t is the difference between a
champion and a lad who thinks he has
a grand chance OF becoming champion.
Il boxed him twice and l ought TO
know all about him. said Memsic this
afternoon. I'm our last ten-round affair
he landed on me with wild swings in the
ninth. and he had me upon my heels
for a minute. l pulled myself together
and went at him, and as sure as you are
born l had him STOPPING, covering, and

have licked him surely, and he would
