AB ATTEL's GENERALsHlP
COMES IN HANDY.
1antamweight Burns Puts Champions
Left Arm Out Of Business.

New York, March 31.-Abe Attel,
featherweight champion, outclassed
Frankie Burns, the bantamweight of
Jersey City, at the National Sporting
club tonight. Attel took the risk of
making 11S pounds at ringside, which
he did for the first time since he be-
came champion in his class.
Although Burns was the aggressor
the champion, whose ring generalship
was superior, outpointed him. AttePs
left arm was rendered almost useless
by lefts which Burns delivered on his
elbow and shoulders in the fourth and
sixth rounds. 1t was an injury to this
arm which had kept Attel from the
ring for several weeks, and after
Burns blows he fought almost all Of
the remaining rounds with his right
In the ninth round he sent Burns to
the floor with a right swing for the
count of nine, and with exactly the
same blow he turned the trick again
in the final POUND.
Attel easily had the better of the first
three rounds, during which Burns ap-
peared frightened. But thereafter the
Jersey City bantam became the ag-
firsssor, took the honors in the fourth
and broke even in the fifth and sixth

WILLETT AND WARRIOR
TWO WITH UNDERHAND.
Detroit and New York Have Only
TwirIers Using This Delivery Much.

1t is a well known fact that only two
pitchers in the American league, Will
lett of Detroit and WARRIOR of the New
York club, use an underhand deliv-
cry to any extent. Batters will tell
you that there is something about the
underhand ball, with its gradual rise,
that makes it hard to hit. Even at
that, Willett and WARRIOR do not use
the motion as much as one would
think, and few other pitchers have
tried to perfect it. Willett and War
hop are regarded as successful twirl-
ers, yet both men have a reputation of
being more or less cratic. The fact
that Willett has always been prone to
have a bad inning was the cause of
Jennings not using him in any Of the
worlds series in which the Tigers took
part Warhop. despite his effective
ness, is usually wild, and often gets
himself in bad holes through hitting
the batsman or inability to get the
ball over. In all probability difficulty
in acquiring control is the very best
reason that can be advanced for the
failure of more twirlers to use a de-
livery that is admitted by the best OF
batsmen to be hard of solution.

\. Many Years.
Henry Jackson Ladd died Thursday
night from general breakdown at his
home on Railroad street. Mr.. Ladd
was born in Franklin, Conn, June is,
1888, the last of a family of six chill
dren of Israel s. and Lucinda Ladd.
When a boy he worked on farm dur
ing the summer and went to the dis
trict schools during the winter. At
the age of eleven he entered the en-
ploy of the Beaver Brook Mill COM
pany, where he worked fourteen hours
per day at a salary of 81 per month.
At the age of Ia he left the mill and
was given entire charge of the 150-
acre farm and sawnlill of Henry Lord,
near the village of Baltic, where he
remained until he was IS, when he
went back to mill life in the employ
of Miller & Titus. After working there
six months he was given charge of the
carding, spinning, picking and weav-
ing rooms and took orders from no
one but the proprietors and for five
years gave efficient service.
About this time he was induced to
return to the Beaver Brook mill and
was given full charge of the help in
the mill where he first began work
when boy. From here he retired for
well earned rest; his retirement at
this time was great loss to the man
ufacturers.
Mr.. Ladd was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Susan Barber, who
died December 81, 1863. On May G.,
1871, he married Miss Nancy Aurelia
Buckingham. One child was born to
this union, James Smith Ladd, who
lived only three months. Mr.. Ladds
second wife died April s, 1905.
Mr.. Ladd went to reside in the home
where he died in December. 1868. This
house was built by President C1eve-
lands grandfather. Two nephews sur
vive Mr.. Ladd. Frank and Arthur Ladd
of Denver, Col. A cousin, Miss Flora
Atchison, has been his housekeeper for
fourteen years.

Trjchromic Vision.

In a recent discussion before the
British Royal society of the phenome-
non Of "trichromic vision" the case OF
a scientist known for his researches
in electrical science was described.
When looking at the bright spectrum
Of sunlight this scientist sees only
three colors-red. green and violet.
For him there is no definite color in
the part OF the spectrum that appears
to persons with normal vision pure
blue. He can distinguish nothing OF
the nature OF pure yellow in the spec
trum. Reddish green would describe
the orange and yellow parts and
greenish violet the blue parts as he
sees them. In testing with colored
yarns the wool changed color to him
when contrasted. although a normal
sighted person saw no difference.
These facts show how different cOlors
may possibly appear to those about US.

Wasps are wonderful papermakers-
They make real paper. too. just as

A wasp flies to a flower and covers
the front of its body with the dust Of
the blossom. This Is moistened and
mixed with the wax which is secreted
on the surface OF the wasp's body.
Then the insect repairs to an old fence
or other piece Of weather worn wood
that has a loose. fuzzy. fibrous surface.
The wasp rubs itself on this fibrous
matter Just as It did on the dust OF
the flower, and a layer of such matter
adheres to the insects body and be-
comes mingled with wax in the same
way
Then away goes the wasp to the
nest which It is building. places itself
just on the spot where 1t wants the
layer Of paper t. lie and then works
itself into a heat " furious motion
Of the wings, so that the wax is mois-

In China Il Is Summer When the En-
peror Says IL Is.
The emperor of China has some
strange duties. One Of these h the
ordering OF the seasons. 1t IS summer
In America when the sun warns the
earth and not until then, but in China
it Is summer when the emperor says
It is summer. AS soon as the emperor
declares that summer has come every
body in China puts or winter clothing
and arrays himself in summer garb,
no matter what his feelings on the sub
ject may be. All domestic arrange
ments are made to suit the season a.
proclaimed by the emperor. although
they may not suit the individual at all.
The nearest approach 10 the Chinese
system OF ordering the seasons is the
practice observed in France In all pub
lie buildings. There il is winter on
and after Oct. 1. Fires are then light
ed in all government offices, and the
employees exchange their white sum
mer waistcoats for the thicker and
darker ones Of winter. At that date
the public libraries are closed at 4, and
in the streets the sellers OF toasted
chestnuts make their appearance. In
official France II is winter. no mat
ter what the weather may say and no
matter what unofficial France may
think.-New York Press.
