Zbyszko defeated Lewis in % minu-

pinned Lewis with a neck lock when
the stranger fell on his back in an
unsuccessful attempt to apply his
deadlock.
Both men started the bout with
rough tactics, but at the end of 90
minutes, neither appeared to have had
an advantage They escaped from
various holds, then Lewis missed an
attempt for a flying deadlock. His
arm slipped over Zbyszko's neck and
the force of his plunge precipitated
him to the floor. Zbyszko pounced
on him, locked his arms about his neck
and gradually forced his shoulders
down.
Admittedly more than 40 years old,
Zbyszko plans to meet all challengers.

e Paris Not French Capital.

Paris is not the capital of France. This is not a paradox nor a joke, but an official fact Parisians who are given to an alarmist disposition are disturbed in their minds, for from the fact that Paris has ceased to be the capital of the country since 1914. re- suits that all official documents of the republic of France signed since the above date are theoretically illegal.
 September 3. 1914, when the govern ment left Paris before the menace of the German advance, the Official Jour nal announced that Bordeaux was henceforward and until further notice the legal capital of France, and offi- cial documents dated from Bordeaux. Until December this procedure was followed. One by one the ministries came back to Paris, and by December II all documents were once again dated from Paris.
 No one, however, in the stress of the times, thought to insert a notice in the Official Journal to the effect that Paris once again had become the cap ital of France.

TO HARNESS vOLcANO'S HEAT
Plan Electric Light and Power in Ha- waii from Crater Which Is Per
 petualIy Active.

Honolulu, T. H.-The heat of Kilauea volcano, whose great per petually active crater, thirty-two miles from Hilo, on the island or Hawaii, daily provides an awe-inspiring spec tacle for crowds of tourists, is to be utilized.
 It will provide electric light and power for every town, hamlet and in- dustry on the island, if the purposes of a memorial recently addressed to the legislature of Hawaii are worked out.
 The memorial asks the territory to appropriate $25,OO0 to be matched by . similar amount from the Hawaii Volcano Research association, for borings and other preliminary work
 The memorial cites the fact that volcanic heat already is being used on a large scale for the production of power in Italy. The Kilauea project has been indorsed as feasible by the Pan-Pacific scientific congress which met here last August.
