The racing card this year Is by far
the best ever presented. either by this
fair association or any other in the
northwest. Large purses have been
provided for. all classes and have at
tracted such horses for the free-for-
all as George Gano, .20:O2, Don Dens-

fastest track animals any where in
the northwest have been entered and
filled the three new ace stables to

the fast horses have done the mile in

fast one. :" =?
In addition to the new racing
stables four new stock barns have
been erected with a capacity Of 500

CAN WATCH ALL SUB
MARINE LIFE.
The Kaleidoscope as it Appears
When in Use.
With Aid of the Thalassioscope
Scientists are Able to Study Or
ganisms on Bottom of Sea.
(Scientific American.

(Sclentif1c American.)
Or. Aurelio De Gasparis, Of Naples
university, has devised an ingenious
apparatus for the study of organisms
at the sea bottom, which, thanks to
Its high magnifying power, enables all
Phenomena Of submarine life to be
watched from a considerable distance.
The "thalassioscope," as the apparatus
is called, will keep the image con-
stantly in focus, thus allowing even
the swiftest movements of marine ami
mails TO be followed without shifting
1t. Its remarkable simplicity of con-
struction reduces absorption due to
refraction to a minimum.
The apparatus comprises a floating
stage on which the observer is seated,
and which, by means of paddles, can
be moved in any direction. At the
root of this floating stage there is fix
ed a wide tube about 4 feet long and
IL inches in diameter, carrying a spur
at the end. In this wide tube there
moves another smaller one, to the up
per part of which a large lens Of
about ten-foot focus is applied.
The outer tube is. moreover, provid-
ed with a b%inocular optical system
about 8 feet long. comprising two
lenses OF about six and one-half feet
focus. This tube is inclined at an
angle of about As degrees, and car
ries In It's upper part a Photographic
camera and a folding protective hood
for the observers head. While the
thalassioscope floats along the sur
race OF the water, the observer; look
ing through. the tube, may see an un-
wonted spectacle. He may fancy him
self gliding along the bottom Of the
sea, n impression from the outside
world vanishing completely. Beds Of
beautiful F1oridae, red, violet, and
purple, shining in a multitude Of vivid
colors,' may be seen side by side with
dark brown and blackish Fucacoe and
Laminariae, which at times, assume
the shape Of a fan, and again look like
SO many undulating ribbons, and
which sometimes are massed together
In bushes forming veritable forests.
After n plains come valleys and aft
er these abysses, in whose unfathom-
able depths swarms Of fishes pass to
and fro. Strange forms, of which o
cannot distinguish either. shape or
color, dazzle the eyes by their rapid
and seemingly ~disorderly movements.
The rocks are covered by myriads Of
s~ay-colored creatures, blended by de-
grees In the blue chasm, and finally
disappearing altogether in unknown
depths.
Inc spectator has the same impress
sion as aSdiver. but for his feeling per-
fectly safe from dangers OF the sea
bottom n tar removed from its
deathly silence, which SO often strikes
the diver with terror.
Since everything Is highly mapnf-
ned, the observer is in a position 70

FAIR GIVES PROMISE
OF Being EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG

Crookston,, July. 11.-During the
last three months magic city has
risen on the new fair grounds of the
Northwestern Minnesota Agricultural
Fair association, one mile north of

the Fair association has spent. over
$4,000 in improvements on the fair
grounds which are now strtckly mod
ern and up to date;
The grounds have been parked and
the entire; enclosure of. nearly 100
acres IL laid out like a big park upon
which 500 trees have been planted.
Concrete and gravel walks laid, road
ways graveled, etc., running along the
entire west side which runs to the
main hallway an eight-foot woven
wire art fence has been erected, at
tached to steel posts set in concrete,
an exact duplication. Of the art fences
at the state fair grounds at Hamline.
An eight foot wwoven wire fence was
also provided for the two sides, while
at the ear facing the railroad an
eight foot board fence has been erect
ed upon which the fair Is properly ad-
yertised, to passengers on both the
Northern Pacific and the Great Nor
thern trains.
The only building from the old fair
grounds that has been utilized is floral
hall which is moved to the new
grounds and improved, bby the install
lation Of a big refrigerator with a
capacity of 200 tubs Of butter which
will be flled to overlooking with ex-

FOR VACATION"
Catcher, With Ten Days on
His Hands, Comes From
Duluth Today.

Catcher Peters, of the Grand Forks
club, arrived home from Duluth this
morning, and will spend a ten-day va
cation around these parts.
Peters failure to play the ball he
Is capable Of resulted in his suspen-
slon-as well as the $50 fine that was
put on him, by Manager Kavanaugh.
kavanaugh insists that the Grand
Forks club is capable. Of a lot better
baseball than 1t has recently exhibit
ed. and he means to have the best
the men can give him-or there will
be other suspensions and fnes-and
probable changes in the lineup.
The club is in too good a position at
the present time to stop, and there are
several clubs ahead Of the locals in

able weaker than the Flickertails, and
Kavanaugh means that they shall be
overtaken and the Flickers be re-

respect.
Right now the club is riding in sixth
position, and it will take several
games to go upwards. But Kava-
naugh insists that some kind Of a
climb will be made if its in the cards
and he thinks 1t is.
Peters has in his possession afr

EVOLUTION OF AIR BRAKE.
Now Possible to Stop q Train
Weighing Nearly Thousand
Tons in Less Than
1.0OO Feet.
(Scientifc American

(Scientihc American.)
Forty-flve years elapsed between the
first trial Of the air brake and the
death Of. George Westinghouse, an
event which has taken. untimely, a
d%iscoverer Of momentous things and
leader. Most people know that the
celebrated inventor was t%hroughout
that half century so greedy for work
that somebody said, "he has. put a
brake On every train, but he cannot
put a brake on himself" but the air
brake does not figure in the common
thought as the basis Of any of these
later triumphs. 1t "is looked upon
rather as having sprung from his
brain, perfect and complete. To those
OF us who had the rare fortune in any
part Of that period to be his colleagues
or contemporaries In the manufacture
and use. Of railway appliances this
seems a grctesque and romantic no
ton; for the introduction Of the air
brake was only it's birth. 1t. has had
a strenuous infancy. an eventful youth
opment. Maturity it cannot reach
until transportation by rail ceases to
progress. The quick action triple
valve. brought out by the westing:
house in 1887 and the high speed
feature of the passenger train brake,
Ode IN 1894, have rendered: q
continuous service which in length, OF
time universally of application and
decree OF excellence is unapproached
by another mechanical device In COM
mon use at the present time upon
railroads. The past ten years have
seen further notable advances.
A train in, 1890, weighing $50 tons
and going sixty miles an hour, had, an
energy of $4,000 f%oot-tons. Tho best
air brake Of that day, working to
the top of Its strength, could not
stop that train in less than 1000 feet.
A train in 1914 Weighing $40 tons and
going sixty miles an hour, had an
energy Of 111,000 foot-tons, almost
four times as much as what had to- be
disstpated in stopping the train Of
1890. With the 1890 brake the 1914
train could have stopped in perhaps
1880 feet. As 1t passed the 1000
foot mari It would still have a COLI
sion energy Of $4,000 fo%ot-tons Gone
and one-half times what the 1890
train had before the brake was ap-
plied), and 1t would still have 760
feet to run That 1914 train with a
1914 brake a be stopped in $50 feet.
At that point the same train with an
1880 brake would still be running for
ty-three miles an hour, with a COLI.
sion energy Of $1,000 foot-tons;.toT
about twice that contained in, the
1890. train at the beginning of the
stop. It is MOI so much, that the 1914
brake is bigger. as that 1t is different,

forty-f1 years to produce this, dou.

the laurels.

Welsh's Debut.
After a few weeks Of janitor duty
he was put on in a private exhibition
with John Mazzier. It was not an
suspicious debut, Welsh displaying
little boxing ability. The kid had
confidence in himself, however, and
he quit his school job and sought
fights at New York clubs. He de-
feated opponents at the Navarro A. c.
and q Browns in impressive style.
Then he beat it for Philadelphia,
where boxing was booming.
