To Use Powerful Magnets

From the Newark News.
possible road to great discoveries has
been suggested by the so-called Zeeman
effect, first oberved by p. Zeeman in 1896.
The effect is the influence of magnet
ic fluid upon the spectrum emitted by
glowing substances in gaseaus state,
lines of the spectrum being broadened
and increased in number when the radia-
tions are sent out under magnetic attrac-
tions.
If the disturbing force can be increased
1t is hoped that the molecules and atoms
may show just how they are affected.
For such Investigations enormous electro
magnets are now being sought, and one
more powerful than any hitherto known
is being made for the Becquered labora-
tories at the Polytechnic School of Paris,
where 1t will be used in efforts to probe
a little further into the mystery Of mat
ter.
A still greater electro-magnet-to have
the power designated at 100000 gauss
was proposed at the last international
congress of electricians This would rep
resent large investment for research, for
C. e. Gullaume, of the International Bus
reau of Weights and Measures, estimated
that the total cost would be something
like s12,0Oo0oo or $15oo0.o0o.

Ridley and nine or 10 vessels, driving
them high on the shore | gave up the
sea and got job as a ctrriage painter
at seven shilling week. In a few
months l was a good painter. having a
very steady hand for the fine stripping.
But that wasn't making me strong fast
enough, and / got another job as n
striker in Parson & Andrews foundry,
swinging a heavy s1edge. This was great
work, but after three years 1 threw u
hot tire over the foreman one day and
I got fired.
while l was working there, Is years
old, I had my first ring fights, to fin
ish with bare knuckles, London prize
ring rules. I won them all with knock
outs. My next job after leaving the
foundry was as a painter, then as a
paper hanger. l could do three mems
work, and did it. Next L went to work
as a horseshoer for my brother I stuck
to that job five years.
"Al1 this time I never forgot about
the football captain. By the time l was
II l concluded 1 could whip him, and
the next two years I spent all my
spare time travelling around the foot
ball matches looking for him. But he
had disappeared, and to this day rye
never set eyes on him.
He knocked me out of being a min
lister, and If I'd ever found him I'd have
knocked him out of being a football
player. But I don't hold the grudge any
more. He punched me from poverty into
a bunch of fortunes. But for him I'd
never have been a fighter. I'd never
have won, as l did once, $4,000 with a
single blow I'd have been a horse

The Grand Manner
From Pearson's Weekly.

FROM PEARSON s Weekly.
There was a discussion in one of the
clubs on the use of farthings. and some-
body remarked that in a certain Scottish
town the natives, as part of their prepa-
rations for a visit to London, used to
polish farthings till they looked like half
sovereigns.
These coins were intended for tips, and
the story goes that when the Scottish ex-
press had steamed into Kings Cross sta
tion one might a too honest porter got
one of the glittering farthings from a
passenger and was mised into thinking
it was a half-sovereign in the twilight OF
the station.
"Beggin' your pardon, SIR he said to
the man whose bag he had carried to a
cab, 'but I think you've made mis-
take"

police dogs duties and in this also he
has proved himself an adept Articles
left in his care are safe and faith
fully watched.
His moral training forms as much of
a police dogs education as his profess
sional lesson. He is taught to be honest
and faithful and not TO accept a bribe.
The latter is important because poisoned
nseat is often offered to these dogs. Tho
police dog soon learns to eat nothing
but what his master strves him, and
is an example to many men In his re-.
sistance to temptation.

ONLY ONE FIGHT SCAR

From the New York Evening World
I take little risk of being criticized
when say that no living boxer knows
more about the fine points of the sport
than Bob Fitzsimmons It was Bobs
marvellous fighting brain as we'll as the
mighty left fist they used to call the
'freckled thunderbolt' that won him the
heavyweight championship of the world
when he faced Jim Corbett at Carson at
noon. March II, 1897.
Bob Fitzsimmons was a genuine mid
dleweight that day. He weighed exactly
154 pounds stripped. Never since the box
ing glove was invented have so much
fighting force and skill been combined
with that slight weight. Corbett was
the cleverest of the big men of his time,
and Fitzsimmons whipped him, wore him
down and knocked him out in IA rounds
because his fighting brain was better than
Corbett's and because clean living had
given him endless stamina and courage
and self-confidence.
And Fitzsimmons was as true a sports
man as ever lived. Almost a novice, he
met the great 'Nonparei,' Jack Demp-
sey for the middeweght championship
, of the world. In a few rounds he had
the mastery. Then, when Dempseys de-
feat was sure, freckled Bob held back his
blows and pleaded with Dempsey to re-
sign the unequal contest. you'll have to
knock me out; I'll never quit" said the
champion. And Fitzsimmons. after ap-
pealing to Dempsey's seconds and the
referee, reluctantly forced the fight and
slipped over the finishing blow. Then,
picking Dempsey up in his arms, he car
ried Jack to his corner, with tears stream
ing down his face. For the moment Fitz-
,-s,. hot hn ,aI ittet n
worlds championship title and a fortune,
He saw only the pathos of the defeat
that ended the career of famous cham
pion and game man.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

The Sunday School convention
held in this city was all that the
most sanguine had hoped for. The
business meeting Saturday after
noon was well attended. Some inn
portant business WAS transacted
and the officers for the ensuing
year were elected. They are as
follows: President, Rev. Chas Nc

The social in honor nf Mr. Merritt
given at the home of Rev anu Mrs

appreciated by Mr. Merritt and
much enjoyed by those present.
Miss Hershiser favored the guests
with two readings. On Sunday

nEW CURE FOR NERVES

| u IL. Il u 1. l. y
The Deipe cure is not likely to
become q fad in Elko on account Vt
scarcity of rain in warm weather.
The Deipe cure is said to be very
popular in the south of France.
1t is supposed to be a panacea for
nervous breakdown. The cure con-
sists of standing in the rain
clothed in the garb of Nature.
The gentle dropping of the rain; is
said to have a soothing effect on
tired nerves and is supposed to be
an infallible cure for brain fag.
In cases of nervous or mental dis
orders caused by worry or over-
work it is said to give instantan-
eous and permanent relief. In case
some of Elko's highly nervous cIti-
zens decide trying the new cure.
the Independent would suggest
that it be done on dark night.
One would not look we'll standing

it was practically the tame and
