coE MAKES GRAND FINISH.
Basketball Quintet Has Claim TO lows
State Title.


Special to Times Republican.
Mount Vernon. March 1.-The great
finish made by the Coe College bas-
ketball team In the last Ave games OF
the season OF 1912 has aroused great
enthusiasm among the supporters OF
the team. 1t is difficult to see how the
Coe five" can be left out OF the reck-
oning for state championship honors.
The improvement thruout the season
has been constant with the exception
Of the single heart-breaking slump at
the time Of the second Cornell game.
During the final ten days in which five
hard games were played on foreign
floors the team has been going at top
speed.
The men were pointed for the Grin
nell game on Feb. 26. A month ago
Captain Grissel and his men set their
hearts on taking this game and the
championship OF the Iowa colleges. In
the closing week Of the season. They
fully realized that they had n big job
on hand 10 win f-o::, the Grinnell five
on their own floor, but they We're con-
fident Of their ability to turn the trick.
This they did in most decisive fashion
and must now be seriously considered
in figuring out which Is the best col
lege basketball team in Iowa at the
close Of the season.
Possibly Ames. Coe and Grinnell will
all ask for their shares Of first honors
but to the enthusiastic Coe rooter 1t
looks very much as tho Coe had 1t on
any college team in the state on season
ending form. This is usually con-
sidered to be final and conclusive evil
dence of success and efficiency.
Coe has played twelve games and
won ten Of them. The only game not
played was the final game with High
land Park College. Grinnell has lost
two state games and one interstate
game. Ames has lost only one state
game but has played only Drake and
Grinnen among the Iowa colleges. The
Iowa college championship for 1912
may never be officially awarded but
Coe considers her claim to the honor
better than that Of any other college
at the present writing.

SIXTH SENSE FOR SHIPS.
Sir Hiram Maxim Is Quite Positive He Has Found a Way of Pre-
 yeRting Accidents at Sea.

Sir Hiram Maxim. the veteran but ever virile and vigorous inventor, is at present hard at work on an idea which, if realized, will mark a new epoch in the powers of man aided by science. When questioned, Sir Hi- ram admitted that his apparatus should obViate the possibility in the future of catastrophes of a similar Character to that which overlook the Titanic and stated that when he is ready to do so he intends to take the somewhat unusual course of pub- fishing the full details and natur6 of his invention and giving the public and his fellew-scientists an opportunity to point out why it will not work satis- factorily on a large scaIe-if they can.
 Briefly put, Sir Hiram's latest in- vent1on will enable ship at sea to become cogniZant of any object in her vicinity, although the same may not be visible to the eye or detectabIe by any ordinary means This will be will mechanically reproduce the sixth sense organism of certain animals in something the same way as the photograph and telephone may be said mechanically to reproduce our ordin- ary sense Of hearing and power of speech. tk
 Tn the. following statement, Sir Hi- ram Maxim explains in his own words just as much about his new invention as he deems it advisable to make known to the world at present:
 "I am fully satisfied that there is a certain animal in the world that pos sesses a sixth sense, and I know that this animal can manage to get along without eyes, and without ears for that matter. quite as we'll as other animals do which possess both.
 All things such as heat, light, elec- tricity, sound, etc., are simply differ ent manifestations of energy Perhaps we might say the prime condition of energy is heat However that may be, I think it will be admitted that we know exactly why we see things. We know the laws are govern sound and many other vibrations, including the vibrations of the ether, an impon- derable body which occupies all space and is completely without weight.
 ."This enables Mr. Marconi to com municate at a very great distance by simply sending out waves. When I took up this subject I made up my mind that, the sixth sense of this ani- mai might be as easily understood as any of our five senses. and I did

not find it a difficult job at all The animal does have a sixth sense, and 1t can be initiated in a rough sort of way mechanically; not closely enough to tell exactly the character of the objects in the vicinity, but certainly to indicate their direction, distance and size. know I can do this over a distance of at least two miles, and l think shall be able to do it up to a distance of 10 miles. < That is 1f there is any large. object on the sea within 10 miles think I can detect 1t. Ana this quite Independently of fog, rain, snow or hail.
 q have made full and complete drawings of this apparatus in every detail and have had a considerable number of copies made.
 s'I have thought it best to show my hand, as one might say; that is, l propose to publish "a little pamphlet, with many illustrations, fully descrIo- ing my apparatus, and then scient1nc men and my critical friends will have an opportunity Of demonstrating what a contemptible fool I am. But I shall make the apparatus all the same, ana the apparatus will work. Of that l am. sure. There is not one obstacle that stands in the way of it's success. not one"
 After concluding this emphatic state ment, Sir Hiram remarked. with a smile. that he had worked so hard preparing the drawings of his new in vention that he had lost five pounds In weight in four weeks, and that Lady Maxim had become proportionately alarmed and insisted on him taking some rest.
 He declined to mention the name or the mysterious animal whose organ ism he has so successfully initiated, hut said that it's sixth sense" had been suspected by scientists for the last sS years and he himself first took an in terest in the matter 12 years ago-Lon- don Standard.
