Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 24.-George
Chip, the Madison, Pa, miner, dupli-
Gated his feat of six weeks ago when
| he knocked out Frank Klaus, the local
middleweight boxer. In the fifth round
of their six round bout here last
night.
Chip beat Claus into a helpless con-
dition and Referee Dillon stopped the
bout to prevent serious injury to the
Pittsburgh boxer.
Landing a hard left on the jaw
started the Pittsburgher over the
dizzy road. Chip then closed in on
Kraus and shot a short right to the

continued raining blows on his jaw.
knocking him down. Klaus got up on
the count of seven, but was weak.
Referee Stops Fight.
Like a flash Chip landed blows on
his jaw and head. Klaus arm dropped
to his side and Referee Dillon, realiz-
ing that Klaus was unable to defend
himself, stopped the bout. Although
on his feet, Klaus was bewildered and
did not know what was going on.
Chip at no stage was worsted by
Klaus. The fight up to the fifth round
was a hard contest. Chip was cool
and in the infighting showed more
strength than his opponent. He seem
ed too cautious in the first and second
rounds. In the third round he regain
ed his courage and ripped in some
hard blows Although the blows land
ed flush on the face and jaw Chip was
not annoyed. Up until the third Klaus
seemed to take everything that Chip
sent his way.
After His Victim.
In the fourth round Klaus did good
work. although Chip outpointed him.
Chip started after Klaus in the fifth
round. After landing blow after blow
it was apparent that much damage
had been done. Klaus fought back
weakly, but the Madison boy meas
ured his blows and landed effectively.
While there was much comment
about the previous knockout there !
was no question about the result of !
the contest last night. Chip proved I,
that he is the master OF Klaus in |
every way. Klaus weighed 1921 ]
pounds and Chip scaled 100 pounds |

Character La Hand Writinn

And here it is well to state the scien-
tific reason why hand writing reflects
both mental and physical characteris-
tics All Of US form, almost uncon-
sciously, our judgment and opinion of
others, either from their speech, their
actions or gestures or gait. The read
er doubtless knows of ten persons who
have so much vitality and nervous
energy that they would be known to
act impetuously Another showing like
mannerisms would fall into the same
class So with script forms, It has
been shown a host OF times that where
there are number who write alike,
others showing the same style and
signs would have similar traits. BY
comparing and analyzing these strokes
one is able to arrive at an accurate
knowledge Of individuals.
A German scientist has proved con.
clusively that the action of the mind
upon the brain, and thea the effect
produced upon the nervous action of
the hand, brings about the changes
which are shown in varied hand writ.
ings. We find that the business men,
the salesman, use a different style and
employ strokes which do not appear
in those of artists, musicians, educa-
tors and so on.

Beside the Rnnnie Rrier-

England is. above all other coun-
tries, the land of the pipe, and more
specifically of the brier pipe. An edi-
tor of the London Daily Chronicle who
smokes one himself lighted up the 9th
er day and went for smoky ramble
through London by tube and omnibus
and pavement--in New York It would
have cost him small fortune in fines
He discovered that the fads of recent
years have passed, There were no
clays even among the breakers of the
roadways, though Tennyson used to
smoke a clay pipe, There were no
corncobs, though Kipling made the
Missouri meerschaum popular for a
time. There were no calabashes,
though the Boer war made these as
fashionable as they were dear. Even
in the firstrate restaurants nobody
smoked meerschaum at luncheon. In
short England has come back to its
old favorite, the brier, and holds to it
despite the iHroads of the cigarette.

BAMBOO AS PAPER MATERIAL

Hope That This Material May

Inventors are seeking. q substitute
for the wood pulp Ii the MANUFACTURES
OF paper. So far various methods
have been tried to produce the coarser
grades of paper from corn husks.
grass, reeds and other forms of veg
etable life, but print paper has Tot
yet been successfully produced from
anything except wood pulp.
In the far east they are making ex-
periments with bamboo as possible
basis for the making of pulp. Some
capitalists of the Orient have gone so
far as to establish factories in Siam,
Burma and India. but the undertaking
has not yet been altogether successful.
The great factor against the success
of the enterprise in India seems to be
the question of satisfactory and cheap
transportation.
Pulp so far manufactured has had
the fault of being too dark in color TO
bring a satisfactory price. Bamhoos
most of the time so far have cost s3.41
gold ton. Little of the product so
far has been sold, but samples sub
mitted in London indicate that tho
company may receive as high as s5s.27
gold ton. The maximum output Of
the factory so far has not exceeded
half OF the original expectation OF Is
tons of pulp day, but It - nov ex-
pected that with a small addition to
the plant normal output OF IL tons
can be maintained aad that this rate
may be exceeded In time. with com
paratiyely little additional expense.
The critical feature of the entire
enterprise seems TO be in the matter
Of bleaching the pulp, Experts claim
for bamboo pulp certain advantages,
among which is the fact that bamboo
pulp can be had In parts Of the world
where other pulp materials are not to
be had; It produces fine pulp which
felts readily and produces a thick
opaque paper of greater thickness
than usual for its weight, making it
especially suitable for particular va
