Referee Stopped Fight in Fifth
to Prevent Knockout.
Was Knocked Down Five Times
by GunbOat Smith.

New York. Aug. 9-Gunboat Smith
of California defeated Jim Flynn, the
Pueblo fireman, in the fifth round of
their scheduled ten-round bout at
Madison Square Garden last night.
Smith knocked Flynn down four times
in the fifth round and the referee
stopped the fight to save Flynn from
being knocked out. Smith weighed
heavier. At the start Flynn rushed
Smith to the ropes in the Iatter's cor
ner, working to the body with short
arm blows. Smith broke away and
began jabbing, finally catching Flynn
with a right uppercut to the face.
Honors were even at the end of the
round.
In the second round Flynn tried to
get close, but Smith kept him at long
range, scoring point after point. At
the end of the round Flynn managed
to land a hard right-hook to the head.
This round and the three following
were in Smiths favor.
Both men held to their original tao
tics, Flynn boring in while Smith tried
to avoid infighting. AT the end Of
the third round Smith was bleeding
from the nose and Flynn from a cut
over the left eye. In the fourth round
Flynn landed a short-arm hook on
Smiths left eye which started bleed
Ing.
Smiths hard hooks and jabs had
Flynn weak at the end of this round.
In the fifth Flynn swung a terrific
right to the ribs, sending Smith to
the ropes. The Californian came back
with a hail of left and right hooks
and jabs. Then with a right upper
cut, flush on the jaw, he knocked
Flynn down for count of eight. An
other right to the jaw put Flynn to
the floor for the count of nine. Flynn
arose with his face covered with
blood and Smith knocked him down
with a right to the jaw, the fireman
to his conquerors legs.
Flynn gained his feet once more on
a count of three. but he was wobbly
and Smith put him to the floor in
Flynn's corner.
This was the last blow of the fight,
as Referee Joh stepped between the
men to save Flynn from being COM
pletely knocked out.

Invention OF WRITING.
some Semitic Tribes Possessed an Al
phabet at Early as 900 B. G.

Perhaps the most valuable invention
after the making of language was that
of writing. Picture writing was the
first used by primitive man, such as
was and still is used by the Indian
tribes of the New World. The char
acters in this system of writing were
pictures of objects very crude in art,
as, for instance. the picture of the
eye, to indicate the organ of sight;
and then again symbols for ideas were
drawn, such as picture of an arc,
representing the sky, and wavy lines
beneath, thus indicating rain. This
system of representing ideas and OBJ
jects which is the most natural to man
is known as Geographic, and the signs
are called kilograms.
When the picture writer used SYM
boIs to represent the sounds of the
human voice, that is words, and not
objects or ideas. he took a great step
in perfecting the system of writing
When symbols are used to represent
words the ideogram becomes phono-
gram and the writing is called pho
netic or sound writing.
The BabyIonians and the Assyrians
used characters to represent syllables
instead of words. thus reducing the
number of signs used in their writing
to a few hundred. When characters
of symbols are used to represent sylla-
bIes they are called syllable phono-
grams and a collection of such signs
is called syllabary.
But still the system was clumsy, and
a final step was taken in the making
of an alphabet the symbols being
used to represent elementary sounds
of the human voice instead of sylla-
bIes The symbols then became true
letters a collection of which is called
an alphabet, the writing alphabetic.
When and where the first alphabet
was made is not known, but several
Semitic tribes were in possession Of an
alphabet as early as the ninth century,
B. c. 1t may truthfully be said that
the history of man begins here. for
without an alphabet records. dates,
names, and events could not have been

Growing Roses for Profit.

Roses. though generally admired as the
most beautiful flower, are not universally
recognized as the profitable article of
commerce that they really are.
Trade roses are grown in various parts
of Europe, but chiefly at Grasse, in
France, and kasanlik, in Bulgaria, where
great stretches of rose gardens provide
the chief supply of roses for the markets
of the world. The highly cultivated roses
are useless for commercial purposes. and
both at Grasse and Rasanlik ii is the
cabbage rose that is chiefly grown-"the
rose of hundred petals they call il
in southern France.
The GraSSe roses are used chiefly for
poInades, soaps, rose water, and such
commodities. and the demand made by
the manufacturers of such on the rose
growers of Grasse can be partly gauged
from the fact that more than $500, 900
pounds of roses are annually gathered in
the district.
Essence, or, as il is called. altar OF
roses. is rarely made in France, on ac-
count of the expense of production, but
nearly all the Bulgarian roses are used
for this purpose.-London Chronicle.
