MARYLAND To
GET BIG BOUT
NEXTSUMNER

The Jess Willard-JRck Dempsey
bout viii be staged in the East, with
a great possibility Of its coming to
Maryland, according to Tex Rickard,
promoter of the battle for the worlds
heavyweight championship. Be
ycnd saying that he was positively
opposed to staging the contest in
New England, Rickard would not
give any mixing of his purposes.
The principal reason for conduct
ing the match in the East, Rickard
said, was that this section Of the
country promises the greatest finan-
ctal success for the undertaking.
The big money is in the East -
Riekard said in making known his
decision. THE offers Of Western
promoters have all been attractive,
but the hardships of travel which
would be necessary if / accepted any
Of the offers prompted my decision
against all OF them. Then, too. with
practically AL OF the offers it was
provided that I should sell my in
serest in the bout for a stipulated
smount. This is furthest away
rom my plans, for 1 will personally
conduct the match. The interest in
he contest and the travelling facil-
tiles fthe East have made me con-
''dent that in this section of the
country only could I be assured OF
success.
"A limited number OF rounds will
Ne arranged. Personally, 1 think
twelve rounds ample for one or the
Cther OF the boxers TO show decisive
superiority. II willard cannot
snock out Dempsey within twelve
rounds the opposite result will be
accomplished, 1 am sure"
Rickard was in conference with
John ". Snyder OF Cumberland. Md,
again yesterday. but the promoter
refused TO discuss the conference.

RATIO MAKES FOR HARMONY
Peculiar Arrangement of Chinese Musi-
cal Instruments Said to Be Work
of Chinese Emperor.

The characteristic musical instru-
ment Of the Chinese is a series Of BAN
boo tubes, the longest of which meas
ures about nine inches. and of which
the remainder diminish in length ut
a regular ratio, each being just two
thirds the length of the one before.
This arrangement was devised by the
Chinese-they say, by the Emperor
Huang-Tl-on the following principle ::
Between heaven and earth there is per-
feet harmony. Now. the number three
Is the emblem of heaven and two of
earth. If then two pipes or tubes be
made in the proportion of three To
two, they will harmonic in tone as
perfectly as earth and heaven. 80 the
base tube of the instrument was made
nine inches long and the second two
thirds that length. or six inches. Of
course. the third has to be twO-thirtlS
the length of the second. or four
inches; and so on. The result was
that the note of the second tube was
what we call an interval of a fifth
above that of the first. that of the third
a fifth above the second. and so on

STUDIED FLAMINGO AT HOME
How Famous Naturalist Got Colosseum
View of Bird Remarkable for
Extreme Shyness.

n few years ago a very great bird
lover succeeded in getting close to a
colony of Florida famingOs in the mid
die of swamp. He had queer
baSketlike contrivance made and COW
cred it with palmetto leaves. While
the old birds We're of feeding he
caused the device to be placed close
to the breeding grounds and crawlcd
into it. In this way he succeeded in
obtaining much valuable information
concerning the birds.
He observed that when they came
flying home they came with a great
rushing of wings and that the hun
dretlS of them HURTING along through
the air was the most marvellous spec
tacle hat could be imagined. One
very interesting feature observed was
that each female bird went straight to
her nest and settled down to covering
her eggs without the slightest cOnfu-
sion. The males ambled about as
though trying to show off their lovely
plumage, for the fiamingu is as vain as
a peacock of his scarlet JACKET. Then
each went to his own little home and
standing gravely on one foot beside
his mate seemed to be discussing the
weather with her.
When one of these great birds took
a nap he curled up his long neck like
a string with double knot tied in. it
and laid il back between his shoulders.
