The Sport World With Local
Color Dished Time to Time

sisting of Rolfe, Cooper, Barker and
OvertOn, also equalled the best time
for the distance and here again it was
within the bounds of possibility that
the quarter or half miles might have
done even better than 7m53s had they
been informed how near they were TO
the existing mark.
IN the 1870 yards high hun dies race
Simpson of the University of Missouri
sk mined over the bars like a swallow
in is. fat ON a grass course, which
was not particularly fast, egualling
the best time ever made on either
c;nder or turf. The star performance
of the day, however, was one that
went unchecked from an official stand
point. That was the running Of the
final quarter of the one mile relay by
Capt. Ted Meredith of the University
of Pennsylvania Meredith was timed
by a number of expert handlers of
acp watches from 46 3-5 to At
A seconds for his relay, when he
was trying to make up the long handi-
cap given him by the third runner Of
the Pennsylvania team.
The difference in the figures reooiJ-
ed by these unofficial timers is ex-
planned by the fact that they started
their watches at different stages. Mer-
edith went back fully ten yards be-
yCnd the starting point meet the fast
firing Scudder, who was running the
third relay. When he took the baton
he carried it fully 445O yards instead
OF 440 yards. Some of the timers
started their watches the moment he
received the baton while others wait,
ed until he crossed the actual starting
mark. These were the timers who clock
eG Meredith in better than Al sec

the worlds record AZ seconds held
by MaXey Long was made on a 440
yard straightway.
The record breaking of the day was
not confined entirely to the east how
ever, for on the Pacific coast Fred
Kelly one of the record holding hurd-
lers i'd "a % seconds for the 22O
yard hurdles around a curve thus
lettering the existing time. Kelly has
been hurdling in wonderful form all
spring but he is not without worthy
rivals since Earl Thompson defeated
him in the 100 yards hurdles in Is

best time at about the same moment
that Simpson was accomplishing a
similar feat at Philadelphia.

Wool chinchilla in dark colors is
an old favorite for winter coats, and
Is worn by men, women and children.
1t remained for the smart sport coat
to bring out the unequaled fitness OF
white chinchilla for garments in
which style is of as much Importance
as warmth, and both are essential to
success.
White chinchilla appears with ever
increasing frequency in nidwinter
coats for little girls, and smart sport
coats for women. The. latter are cut
in simple lines and long, like the coat
pictured. or shaped like sweater coats.
Many novel touches in little details

and they are carefully and beautifully

These points are demonstrated by
the coat illustrated here very clearly.

may be buttoned up about the ears,
and the revers are faced with moire
plush in black. Very accurate parallel
rows of machine stitching ornament
the coat at the bottom and adorn the

crate in the extreme. The way lies
through country intensely hot during
great part of the year, and the cars
used on the line are constructed after
the most advantageous manner for
catching and retaining all possible
heat. Moreover, the fares are cheap
and the way is patronized heavily by
swarns of Asiatics, malodorous and
neighborly.
The trains, in pre-war days. had
way of leaving important stations be-
tween three and six O'Clock in the
morning. The wayside stations were
miserable shanties, where widest con-
fusion reigned. Buying tickets at the
small novels which housed the ticket
for-all fight in the midst of jostling
crew of excited Orientals. Moreover,
one must go with the crowd on this
line to the Persian border, because
no first-class carriages are operated
thereon. Among other drawbacks, one
soon has the knowledge forced upon
him that his fellow-passengers are
verminOuS.
The cars are dirty. They are old.
uncomfortable, and ill-ventilated. The
seats are narrow and covered with
white canvas, the covering usually
turned brown and yellow with accumu-
lations of evidence from the hands and
clothing of the railways patrons. The
third class cars resemble the Ameri-
can box-car. only they are much small
ar. Both the second-class and the
third-class cars are generally packed
as tightly as space will permit.
Much of the scenery along the way
is very beautiful. The way through
the Araxes valley, wide at first and.
farther on, narrowing between ridging
mountains, lies in the beginning
through an inviting country of vine
yard and orchard. Farther toward the
Persian border. the country becomes
desolate. Stations are few. and fer
the most part are mere wooden sheds

Wood-OiI Tree.

The Chinese wood-oil tree. Aleurites
cordata, can probably be successfully
grown in many parts of the South. At
any rate, a tree in Tallahassee bore
two bushels of seeds last season. Inc
seeds of the wood-oil tree are rich in
an oil that surpasses in drying quality
any other oil known, and that is pro-
duced in immense quantities in China,
where it is widely used for calking and
nainting junks and boats and for var
nishing and preserving all kinds OF
woodwork. The United States imports
annually about five million gallons OF
Chinese wood oil, valued at $2,00O.OOO.
AS the demands of the American var
nish trade are steadily increasing.

that are well worth while; one is the

in three sizes for the cleaning of pots

bulletin of the National Geographic So
ciety AS roads in Transcaucasia are

keeping people off of them, this line
of track has most important bearing
upon the maintenance of order at the

There are two routes from Europe
to Teheran. One through Russia to
Baku, the oil city on the Caspian
thence by steamer to Resht, and, final
ly, by road to the Persian capital, a
road built and kept up by Russia. This
route is the older route. The second
way. made possible by railway con
struction through southern Transcau
casia, is the product of recent Russian
labors. The traveller by this route sets
out from Tiflis, the capital of the eau
casus, takes a train south over Alex
andropol and Erivan, thence to Max
hitchevan, the first city founded by
Noah after abandoning the ark upon
neighboring Ararat, and, passing down
the valley of the Araxes, where the
Armenians place Eden, he passes the
International boundary at Djulfa. From
here the traveller goes by another Rus
