LOCAL SPORT FIELD

A few nights ago Jack Milo, claim
ant for middleweight wrestling hon
ors, made little journey to Staples,
Mimi, and appears to have tackled
a tartar in the person of E. B. John
son, another 15S-pounder The latter
pinned Milo's shoulders to the mat
in IA minutes and Milo refused to go
on with the second bout, claiming
that the referee had given him the
worst of it. This claim is old stuff
in Sank Centre. The following from

FAIR GROUND FENCE BURNED

FAIR GROUND FENCE BURNED
About ninety feet of fence on the
northeast side of the fair grounds,
was burned last week as a result OF
a grass fire supposed to have started
from sparks from a locomotive on
the Great Northern road. The mat
ter has been taken up by the Fair
Association with the railroad people.
When the repairs to this fence are
made, the association also plans to
erect a new entrance gate to the
grounds so constructed as to accom-
odate both pedestrians and vehicles
without danger or inconvenience.

so far, and if arrangements can, be
made, the big cop will be brought to
Sank Centre to meet Domke.
Domke is giving little attention to
the wall of Milo and his challenge to
meet the Sank Centre man in Min
neapolis. The stall of wanting to ap-
pear in Minneapolis is an old gag
with the Greek. He is poor loser
and his game is pretty well known
in the wrestling world.

was almost the dirtiest thing to be
deadliest thing in the whole world as
regards gunnery.
This was Lord Fishers superb serv-
ice He foresaw and he prepared.
Not merely the form of the feet was
revolutionized under his hand, but its
spirit. The British navy was bap-
tized into new birth with the pea
soup Of the North sea.
When this great work was accom-
plished he ordered ship to be built
which should put the Kiel canal out
of business for many years. That
done, and while the Germans were
spending the marks which otherwise
would have built warships in widen
ing and deepening this channel to the
north sea. Lord Fisher wrote it down
North sea, Lord Fisher wrote it down
in 1914, and that Capt. Jellicoe would
be Englands Nelson.
From that moment he lost some-
thing of the hard and almost brutal
expression which had given SO for
midable a character to his face. He
gave rein to his natural humor. He
let himself go, quoted more freely
from the Bible, asserted more posi-
lively that the English people are the
lost tribes of Israel, and waited for
Armageddon with humorous eye on
the perturbed face of Admiral Tirpitz.
In July, 1914, he was out of office. A
telegram came to him from Winston
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty,
requesting to see him urgently. Lord
Fisher refused to see him. believing
that Churchill had jockeyed Reginald
McKenna out of the admiralty-Mr
McKenna who had most bravely. nay
heroically. stood by the naval esti-
mates in face of strong cabinet oppo-
sition. On this ground he refused to
meet Mr. Churchill. But telegram
from McKenna followed, urging him
to grant this interview, and the meet
ing took place. private meeting
away from London.
Churchill informed Lord Fisher OF
the facts of the European situation.
and asked him for advice. The facts

told Churchill that he must do three

The First American.

THE American Indian may not only
be descended from the first Ameri-
can, but he may also be descended
from the first family of the world
That is a theory held by some men.
It is disputed, but SO, too. are nearly
all theories which cannot be demons
strated. Some scientists contend that
the forebears of our Indians did not
cross to America from Asia, Africa or
Europe, but that the first Indian was
the original man. They believe that
the American continent is the Oldest
land in the world. and that the first
part of this continent which emerged
from the seas that wrapped the earth
were the Laurentian Hills. north OF
Lake Superior. They believe that the
first man of the earth appeared liz
that region and that the American In
dians are descended from that man.
There are a multitude of theories as
to the kind of climate America had a.
that time, and in the matter of the
time they also disagree. The begin
ming of America is estimated at
hundred millions of years. Nobody
knows. The thing cannot be proved.
The age Of the rocks and the relation
of one set of rocks to another are diff
ferently interpreted by different men,
One theory is that the Indian is de-
scended from the Egyptian or Car
CldRlntdH peoples Ut lfoHl OHe Vi lIit
races which dwelt in the regions in
habited by the Egyptians, Assyrians.
Babylonians, Phoenicians or Cartha
ginians, and that they came TO Amer
lea when there was continent
called Atlantis, which lay in the At
lantic between Europe and Africa on
the east and America on the west.
Some men of science say that the
Indians did not come from Africa. but
from Europe. and that the bronze
skinned men found here by the first
explorers of record We're related to
the barbarian tribes which once dwelt
in the lands we call England, Ireland
and Wales.
The most popular theory put forth
to account for the presence Of the
Indians on this continent is that they
were Mongolians who came from Asia
by way of the Aleutian islands and
Bering strait and whose descendants
spread over the land to the south and
east
In spite of the fact that anthropolo-
gists and ethnologists have made long
and earnest study OF the American In
dian, there has never been any agree
ment among them whether the In
dians were the first race to inhabit
America. where they came from and
how long they had been here at the
time Of the coming of the first
whitea.

Wonderful Sun Clouds.
THEORIES as to what the sun i

THEORIES as to what the sun is
and how it manages to supply such
a marvellous quantity of light and
heat, a very small fraction of which
suffices to keep the earth a living
interest when they come from men Of
high standing in science. If such
theories do not cover the whole truth,
at least they teach something that
we did not know or had not thought
of before. Not long ago an eminent
scientist restated some ideas of his
about the sun which were originally
put forth more than thirty-fve years
ago. He thinks that late discoveries
have tended to confirm his theory.
In his view the photosphere. which
In, the shining shell of the sun that
we see, and from which most of it's
radiations proceed. consists of sooty
clouds raised to a temperature of in
candescence. These blazing clouds are
on an average two or three hundred
miles broad and several hundred long.
Between them is seen less luminous
background producing the appear
ance of pores, familiar to all who
have looked at the sun with power
full telescope.
This darker background. according
to the scientist mentioned. may be a
second layer Of heated cloud COM
posed Of transparent material, which
is capable of scattering the light that
falls upon it., while itself radiating
less abundantly than the sooty clouds
above, SO that 1t appears darker by
comparison. Or the dark back
ground may mark level in the sun
where a sudden increase of density
and an abrupt change from the trans
parent atmosphere above to a condi-
ton of opacity beneath take place.
This would present the appearance of
the rejecting surface of molten
ocean
Such an ocean would also radiate
less abundantIy than the clouds
above, thus appearing darker. The
dark centers CT sun spots are, ac-
cording to the theory. parts of the
same underlying ocean of .-s-.-
ceivably hot vapor, or LIQUID. which
yet does not shine as brilliantly as
the upper clouds.
This idea that the centers of sun
spots; which sometimes appear ac-
tually dark, are in fact only dark by
comparison. is not. of course. new
one. We know, indeed. by expert-s
meat that the darkest part of a sun
spot is reality brighter than cali
cium light. Think. then, of the blaz-l

Artificial Gems.
A RT1F1c1AL precious stones, q

A RTIFICIAL precious stones. or
stones made in imitatio of those
that are precious, have come into
favor with women who, few years
ago, would have scorned to deck
themselves with what we used to call
"snide" or 'phony" jewelry. And
there are reasons. The synthetic stone
has arrived. The synthetic processes,
or the processes Of finding out the
chemical elements Of stone and then
putting these elements together in
their proper proportion to duplicate
or closely simulate the stone as ma
ture made it. have progressed so far
that the natural and artificial stones
of certain classes can be distinguished
one from the other only by microscopic
examination and certain other tests
with which only lapidaries are ac-
quainted.
It is believed that this it not true
Of diamonds. Here science and art
have not nearly approached nature
and the amateur who knows some-
thing about diamonds is supposed to
be able to distinguish between the
true and the false at q glance. But in
the case Of rubies, emeraldS and sap
phires it is different. They make
these stones SO well that it is believed
by many persons of good taste that
they are as beautiful as the precious
stones and that their genuineness or
falseness can be determined only by
critical examination OF the form OF
their capitalization and by the char
acter of the flaws" or imperfections
in them.
In the matter of pearls, there is
much dispute. Beautiful pearls are
made by man. but many lovers OF
pearls say that the artificial does
NOT compare with the natural. The
fact is that q great number OF women
have overcome part Of the aversion to
wexring imitation precious stoaes
which they entertained . few years
