There is q relation between the color
of flame and the energy of the combus-
ton causing it. The more vigorous and
complete the combustion the higher the
refrangibility of the light. A flame
burning in IL tardy and restricted way
emits rays that are red. When burn
ing in a more complete and effective
n the emitted rays change to vio-
let.
The fame of a candle or a lamp con-
sists of a series of eccentric luminous
shells surrounding a central dark ore
These. shells of flame emit light of diff
ferent colors. the innermost one-that

being red and having n temperature OF
exactly OF degrees Il. Upon this and
in their proper order of rafrangibility
are shells of light which are orange.

The reason that such a flame d .es

we look upon such Il flame all OF the
rays issuing from the different layers OF
strata Of %concentric luminous SHELLS are
received by the retina of the eye ut one

IL being conducted as we'll as the regu-

match games every Saturday in Jan

also. will be a series of class games.
The navy has. been doing excellently
at this game for the past three years,

arranged as to test out the midship-
men against the strongest ives OF the
country.
i The other fall and winter sports in
which the midshipmen will compete
with outside teams are gymnastics,
wrestling, swimming and fencing. In
gymnastics and wrestling the showing
of the midshipmen during the last
three seasons has been remarkable.
and it can be fairly claimed for them
that their record along these lines ex-
ceeds that Of any other institution.

LYNCH CONSULTS A LAWYER,
Who Says Fogel Can Be- Barred if
Charges Against Him Are True.

NEW YORK, October 31.-President
Lynch of the National League has sought
legal advice in the Fogel matter James
Conway Toole has been retained by the
National League to represent that base
ball organization In whatever steps are
decided on to take the Philadelphia mag
nate to task for the latter's alleged state
ments rejecting on the integrity of the
game.
Following a consultation with the at
torney Mr.. Lynch said yesterday that he
is advised that the league has full turis-
diction to investigate the question as to
whether Fogel did or did not make the
statements attributed to him: also their
truth or falsity if made. Lynch further
was advised that If 1t Is shown that Fogel
did say the things charged the league
has full right to inflict on Fogel such
punishment as may fit the offense, even
to barring him permanently from par
ticipation in league affairs.
THE officials of the league" Lynch
continued. were insistent that a complete
investigation be made Of the matter and
on suitable action, if it is found that any
person has been guilty. from any motive.
Of making false statements in regard to
the league, it's officers, umpires or any
matters connected with its championship
contests"
AS to discussion of truth of the alleged
charges Of Fogel, Lynch said that was
impossible, because the charges bore their
own refutation. The only question was
whether Fogel had made the charges.

It is predicted that Jake Stahl will be-

standing the fact that Stahl played bril-

he proposes to try out several candidates
for his position next spring Prominent
among these is Janvrin a recruit who
was farmed out to the International
League several years ago. ard who has
developed into quite player.
1t seems strange that ball players of
ability seek the bench just as soon as
they are placed in charge of a team.
There are many instances Of this George
Stovall. for instance. sat on the bench
most Of the tine last yea rafter he was
put in charge Of the Browns. though 1t
was plain he would have been of much
more help to his team on first base. Biz
mingham gave up his position in center
soon after he was made manager of the
Maps, and now Stahl is said to have made
up his mind to become bench manager.
though there is no doubt that his pres.
ence on the team last season did much to
help it win the pennant and worlds Sc
ries.
