Who Discovered the Chemical Afflnity
OF Substances

OF Substances
Nearly a hundred years before the
birth Of Torbern l,ergmann. who was
flrrst to. work out the chemical affinity
OF various substances, Newton, who
gave us the law Of gravitation. had
pointed out that when some substances
are mixed together they attract each
other very strongly. Joining together TO
form q compound substance. BERG.
mann, thinking Of this, gave himself
to the study Of the subject and BY many
experiments made out a table Of those
substances which had q chemical
afinity for each other.
One OF the hrst tests he made after
ne began his research was In connection
with the gas known as "Hxed air."
which had been discovered by Dr.. Black.
He thought 1t might be an acid. be-
tested It with blue litmus "a blue liouid
extracted from a plant called litmus)
and found that the blue lltmus turned
red when placed in the fixed air. This
Is what litmus always does when placed
In contact with acid. Having proved
that II was an acid he called Il "aerial
acid" He also. proved 1t was diff.
fcrent from ordinary DIR because It
weighed moro and because ir would
partially dissolve when passed into
water. But he did not learn that IL
was made up Of two separate elements
oxygen and carbon---and It was quite
a long time before the world learned
that animal life produces carbonic acid
gas latter breathing the oxygen from
the. air. and that plant life lives on
carbonic acid gas, giving us back pure
oxygen through its breathing processes.

JACK NOT AFRAID
Of HARRY WILLS
DECLARES MGANV
Kearns Back in America Is
Building Fights for
His Champion.
By A


Special Correspondent Of The Great Falls Tribune.
New York, May 22.-Jack Dempsey
is back again. incidentally Jack
Kearns is back. too.
Don't overlook Jack kcarns. With
out the agile and ebullient kearns,
Dempsey would be like a mandolin with
q broken pick. Kearns belongs to no
union but he is master builder all
right. He builds big money fights for
his ace. Kearns is such a good builder
that had he been in this country the
proposed Dempsey fight in the
open air in Michigan City would not
look like such a pork and bean affair.
We don't know how kearns would
have made it look any better. But he
would. He has the knack. To watch
Kearns work is almost as good as see
ing Dempsey fight. The Wills battle
project will be worth watching. too.
Building on that fight to date has lain
along lines of having it appear that
Dempsey is just a wee mite afraid Of
Harry. This he is not. He has up and
up on that black bird.
Two years ago Wills would have
given Juth IL Juliet 1uh IudH uf NOuiu

Kearns and Dempsey-know that. You
didn't see Dempsey fighting Wills two
years ago did you? Now the firm is
ready for Harry any time that anybody
will put up a biz enough wad of money
TO make the battle worth while. Won
der what kearns will do when he sees
to a mixed bout developing
in Canada as it has in the past week?
Meantime the Carpenter Dempsey
bout is set for England in the fall.
Whether it is held or not depends upon
many things. 1t seems to be certain
that Carpenter will come over here
TO meet the winner of the Tunney-
fight next Tuesday night at the
There would be big money
in such a battle-it would indeed be
n small battle of the century and not
small at that.
With Carpenter slowing way his
man in fine fashion then the Dempsey
fight will go big abroad.
Otherwise the works will sure be in
that battle.

major league pennant races last week.
with st. Louis runner-up in both cir
cults. but several other contenders APP
parently have rounded into form and
promise to give the favorites plenty
of opposition. The Giants had their
lead over the Cardinals cut to two
games. while in the American league
the Yankees kept the Browns out of
first place by Sundays victory and
also acquired an advantage of two
games lead.
The return of Babe Ruth and Bob
Meusel to the Yankee lineup furnished
a spectacular climax to the week and.
although neither slugger apparently
has adjusted his batting sight as yet,
they are expected before long to fur
nish the punch which the New York
ers have lacked.
Athletics Show Strength
The Philadelphia Athletics. dis
playing batting strength second to none
o. their American league rivals and aid
ed by some stellar pitching, may prove
the sensation of the year. They climb
ed to third place last week, winning
their series from both st. Louis and
Chicago.
The Yankees, after a disastrous Sc
ries with the Detroit Tigers. took three
straight from Iris Speakers Indians,
who are in a bad slump, due to in
effective pitching.
Washington seems to have caught
IS stride after n poor start and. ia
sored by good pitching. may fulfill
earlier predictions that it would fig
nre prominently in the pennant hunt.
The Senators scored their fifth vic
'nry in six games Sunday.
The Boston Red Sox broke even
during the week, while Detroit. contin-
aing its scrappv play, clung to fourth
position.
