Before Jack was lodged in the train

Body hotel lobby, where the challen-

those anxious to get squint at the

bet began predicting a Dempsey vic.
tory after they'd seen the big boy at
work and at play.
Jack is very popular and If he beats
Willard the folks OF Toledo would like
very much to have him stick around
and call this place home.
Jess Fifty Pounds Bigger Man.
Willard very likely will outweigh
Dempsey by so pounds when the two
step into the arena on the afternoon
of July 4. Dempsey is weighing
around 1876 today, but he says when
hot weather sets in he probably will
lose about five pounds.
II always lose few pounds in hot
weather" said jack. fright now
am weighing 1876 and that is my nat
ural weight"
Willard probably will train down
very close to 240 pounds. thus maxi
ing him half hundred weight the
bigger man. He weighs under ESQ
now and will be able to take off anoth-
.er 10 pounds"
Toledo Is Fast Filling Up for Bout.
The boxing colony is fast growing.
Promoters, fighters. managers, train
ing partners. bettors, writer's, pho
tagraphers and artists are arriving on
almost every train. The fight is at.
tracing more attention than any bout
in ring history. In publicity Toledo
will get more advertising than any
city ever got from a single gathering.
There will be more working newspa-
per men in the city two weeks before
the bout than ever were gathered for
sporting event. Already reserva-
tions at the hotels are becoming so
heavy that choice space is no longer
TO be had.

WROTE MESSAGES WITH DYE
Material for Invisible Writing Used by
German Spy Was Obtained From
Silk Hosiery.

A cleverly designed method Of out
whiting the government officials and
furnishing information to the enemy
was revealed in the early days Of the
war by the arrest Of man In Pater-
son, N. j., by naval intelligence Off
GERS.
The man, held as an alleged spy In
a Jail In Brooklyn. is said to have
come from Holland and to have been
employed in a silk dyeing establish
ment in Paterson. His unique method
Of sending messages to Germany
called for the use Of silk hosiery Of a
peculiar dye. 1t Is said that he had
received dozen pairs Of these seeks
from German agents In Holland and
that his method was to soak them In
water and use the coloring matter
which they gave forth as a writing
fluid. AS this dried II became invisible
until brought out by special process,
which, however, the federal agents are
said to have worked out.
They, in turn, in learning the secret.
opened his letters and changed the
contents and forwarded the letters.
The information thus received by the
Germans proved of little use to them.
But for a long time, 1t is said, there
was not enough evidence on which to
convict this man, until one day
through carelessness he left one Of
the socks where a naval intelligence
officer found 1t When confronted with
this the man is said to have confessed
to the entire project.

Ancient Time Recorders.

Perhaps the first reference to at
tempts to reckon time by mechanical
means is found in Isaiah 1873, written
supposedly about 713 b. c., "the sun
dial Of Ahaz." Pliny says that Anaxi-
mander invented sun dial about $50
b. G. The first sun dial ut Rome was
placed in the Temple of Quirinus,
about 29S b. c., when time was divided
into hours. The clepsydra, or water
clock, was the next time recorder in
vented.

in quantity, of furniture which, in quail

inferior in not one single respect to the
great August Sales that have made the
words "Wanamaker" and Furniture"
notable in association.
This Sale started August first and is
now two weeks old-a ripe age for sale
but is still doing a great, rushing,
we may say serious business.
The stocks are not tired, thinned out,
or reduced by eliminating processes to a

is so often seen in the sort of sale that
has fag-end-and usually has it
mighty soon.

DEATH OF r. w. KING

Friends all over the state learned
with great deal of regret of the
death on Monday of Mr.. Fred w.
King, of Jacksonville, which occur
red in hospital in Richmond, Va,
following an operation.
Mr.. King with his wife and two sons
had been in Asheville for some time
for the benefit of his health. He
went from there to Richmond to un-
dergo an operation and following
same his wife he'd written friends
that he had come through the opera
ton successfully and it was thought
would recover so the news of his
death came as a great shock.
Mr. King was a son of the late
Judge T. F. King, of Gainesville, and
brother of Mr.. A. II. King, of Jack
sonville. He was well known in
Ocala, having for number of years
travelled in this section before going
into the confectionery business in
Jacksonville.
Mr. Kings last visit to Ocala was
the past winter when he and Mrs.
King were here for a week as the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. w. w. Harriss
and Mrs. Annie Van Deman.
