Many Fistic Titles Change
Hands This Year.
Those Who Keep Places Have
Lost Decisions.

This has surely been an unlucky
year for champions, as many of them
have had the misfortune to either lose
their titles or have decisions rendered
against them.
Those who have lost their titles are:
Ad Wolgast, the lightweight champion
of America; Abe Atte1l, the feather
weight champion of America; Georges
Carpenter, the French middleweight
champion; Matt Wells, the English
lightweight champion; Jim Sullivan,
the English middleweight champion,
and Johnny Evendon, the English
welterweight champion.
The champions who have been de-
feated but still hold the titles of their
respective countries are: Bombardier
Wells, the English heavyweight cham
pion; Jack Harrison, the English mid
dleweight champion; Dave Smith, the
Australian middIeweight champion, and
Digger Stanley, the English bantam
weight champion.
Carpenter has relinquished his claim
to the title, as he cannot make the
weight any more.

SEED TERMINATION.

In Some Cases the Development ls Res
markably Rapid.
It has been said that the seed Of the
globe turnip when growing Increases
its own weight fifteen times within
minute. The seed of this turnip ID
exceedingly minute, being not larger
than the twentieth part Of an inch In
diameter, and yet In the course Of
few months the seed will be developed
by the soil into twenty-seven millions
Of times the bulk Of the original, and
this In addition to q considerable
bunch Of leaves.
On peat ground turnips have been
found to increase by growth 1890
times the weight Of their seed each
day they stood.
The funguses offer an instance Of re-
markably rapid growth. The great
puff ball will attain the size Of pump
kin in a single night, and Iindley cal.
culated that the cells whereof It IL
composed win multiply at the rate Of
go, 100000 a minute.
Many seeds terminate In a very
short period-the cress In two days:
spinach, turnips and kidney beans in
three days, lettuce In four, melons and
gourds in FIVE, most Of the grain seed
in a week and hyssop at the end Of q
month. But others remain for a very
long period without showing signs Of
germination.-New York Herald.
