New York, March 2.-Les Darcy, the Australian champion and Jack Dillon, the giant killer from Indian apoiis, arc ready for their ten round battle to be held in Madison Square Garden here March ,. This will be the first appearance of Darcy in the ring since he arrived in this country. Experts are of the opinion that Dill lon will make the man from the anti podes go some in their coming ten round go. Although the giant killer made a poor showing in his recent bout with Al Mccoy the excuse offered for Dillon's poor showing in this bout was that he was anxious to save his hands for the battle with Darcy. The latter has been in training at Goshen and Is in fine shape. Those who have watched him work are of the opinion he will more than make 1t interesting for the man from Indianapolis. Lay out shows three views of Darcy in the training camp at Goshen.

sEPrEMHER COAST STORMS.

l have been reading of the gales that
have been deluging the Mississippi
coast and wondering why it is that we
should have such storms about the time
of the equinox. AS equinox means equal
days and equal nights wonder if this
equalization has anything to do with the
annual occurrences of storms in Sep
tember At the vernal equinox, the sun
is said to be passing from south to
north, therefore the days grow longer
At the autumnal equinox the sun is pass
ing from north to south and therefore
the days and nights are equal The
shortest days are in December and the
longest days are in June.
But the puzzle in my mind is not con-
nected with long days or long nights
or short days and short night-but why
the autumnal equinox has an accom-
paniment of gales and easterly storms
that continue for days-as they have
continued this year-with almost inces-
SAINT downpour.
Once in awhile these storm clouds
are not in evidence and the sun shines
clear and hot and no rain at all; but
such interludes are of rarer occurrence.
Generally the fall equinox brings gales
of wind and rain. Many of us remem-
Der the Galveston flood. which came
with the equinox. Several years before
the city of Galveston was thus storm
swept, the sea coast of Georgia had a
similar eXperience-with devastating
floods.
This year the Mississippi coast and
lower Alabama are suffering-with
winds raging at the rate of 100 miles
an hour. How anything that stands
erect like trees or buildings can with
stand a wind that rushes over land and
sea at more than a mile a minute has
always been a problem for me.
Some scientists will tell you that in
cessant cannonading will bring rain
storms-and 1 guess they have plenty
of 1t over in France and Belgium at
this time but they are between three
and four thousand miles away from us.
