JESS DECLARES
HE COULO RAISE
100000 BY CO

Jess willard said yesterday that ne
believed his return to the ring would
net at least 100000 for the Red
Cross-the profits from a single fight.
The champ said he thought the pro
ceeds from the movies Of the bout-if
any are allowed-would bring the
amount to that much.
willard received a telegram signed
THE Chamber of Commerce OF Sacra-
mento, CAL" inviting the champion to
stage his bout in that city offering two
blocks Of the capitol extension grounds
for an arena. and promising an attend
ance Of $4,000. It intimated that the
invitation might be supplemented by a
personal invitation from Gov. Stephens.

Oh yes. It was peaches and cream.
1t isn't so soft for Private Jones

And his grub and clothes are free.

give you reasons for expecting to

The first OF these reasons 10
that Venus apparently has a den

On purely mechanical grounds this
IS unlikely, but observations seem
to prove that It is. nevertheless. a
fact. Some have even estimated
the atmosphere Of Venus at double
the density OF the earth's. II that

force OF gravity affords an AdTan-
tage to aerostation.
A E"cond reason for suspecting
that you would find yourself in the
midst OF a world filed with won
derful aerial creatures, as intellec-
tual as we are, though utterly un-
like us in bodily form, is drawn
from the fact that. on account OF
the greater neArness OF the sun,
the amount OF solar radiation re-
celved by Venus is nearly twice
that received by the earth. In
speaking OF this fact we usually
think only OF the increase OF those
two kinds of radiation that we call
light and heat. In other words.
we confine our attention TO the
awful glare and the overpowertng
temperature that we should en-
counter, forgetting that the suns
radiation comprises many other
forms OF energy. all OF which must
be poured uron Venus with an
intensity proportional to the light
and heat she receives.
Some OF these radistions We
know are shielded OF from us by
the eArth's atmosphere, but.

there than here, and the experi-
ence Of recent years has shown US,
in a small way. what that may
signify for the mastery Of mechan-
ical energy. and the overcoming of
the force OF gravity-a force that
Is. In many ways. a cumbrous fet-
ter to mans ambition.
Owing. then. to the increased
stimulus contained In the suns
rays. almost feel that | could
promise you that the moment you
entered the atmosphere Of Venus
you would be in a kind Of aerial
ocean full Of living forms. to
which the surface OF the planet
beneath would bear a relation OF
utility resembling that OF the bot
to- ~ lake to its ichthic In
habitants.
A tnIrd reason may be added to
the two just suggested, and that is
one based on the evolutionary
doctrines Of the effect Of environ
ment and the survival Of the fit-
test. No doubt the surface OF
Venus is hot. so hot that we could
not endure It: but her atmosphere
geems to be cloudy, and up in the
midst Of the clouds, or under their
breezy caves. a delicious coolness
should prevail.
Now, given a capacity and a ten
dency for living things on Venus
to utilize the atmosphere for a
dwelling place more than those OF
the earth do. the law Of the sur
vival Of the fittest would accentu-
ate this tendency as the ages went
by, until II would eventually be-
come the characteristic feature Of
the life Of that planet. Venus may
be as old as the earth, so that
evolution has had plenty Of time to
carry out its main tendencies, and
on arriving there you might find
that the inhabitants OF the ground
were. in a double sense. the lowest
