Some Float on Streanns--Huge ones
Make a River Lift Itself.


The people Of Syria and Tffis make
their streams do things that Amerl-
cans do not seem to have learned the
secret Of persVading the water courses
OF this country to perform.
At Tifis the natives have learned
how to utilize the power Of the cur
rent of the River Kur without build
ing dams. What they have accom-
plished possibly might be done by an
American farmer living on the banks
of a rapidly moving stream and de-
string a small, cheap power. The eau
casians build floats on the surface Oh
the river. Into them are set water
wheels. The whole affair is fasten-
cd to the banks in such way that
1t will rise and fall with any cnange
In the level of the surface OF the riv-
er. so that the power is about con-
slant all the time.
In Hama the ancient entering IN
of Klamath the Syrians have accom-
published a feat that makes one think
Of lifting ones self over the fence by
Juggling at ones bootstraps. They
have harnessed the historic Orontes,
or Nahr ell Ash, as the Syrians call 1t,
into the work of lifting itself many
feet toward the zenith and trained ~
thus to water their fruitful gardens
end orchards.
AS for size the water wheels which
do this work are as to other water
wheels what Niagara is to other water
falls. AS one stands by one Of these
great wooden frames revolving upon
it's wooden axle and looks up at its
perimeter forty feet above one thinks
it large and is astonished when he
turns his gaze upstream to see that
relatively it is not a great wheel, for
in the distance looms up one sixty
feet in height. Even then he is not
prepared for the spectacle Of one
ninety feet in diameter. gIunting
around on its cumbrous axle just OUT
eide the town.
Life in Hama for some people Is
like the liking of others for olyes,
an acquired taste, because OF these
very water wheels. According as one
feels about it it is musical city or
one filed with nerve racking groans.
Day, and night without ceasing these
massive, slow revolving structures ut
Ter speech. For those who ave ac-
CURED a taste for their companion
ship the never ceasing tones are sooth-
ing, resembling the ocean roar or a
slow fugue played on some cyclopean
organ. The diapason tones are deep-
er and louder than the deepest organ
stop. Now they are in unison, now
repeating the theme, one after anoth-
er, now for a. brief moment in sub
lime harmony never to be forgotten.
according to one traveller, then once

The sounds are described as slow

a heavy drop to the keynote as: DO

Emersons habits in this direction

came 10 him from his readings, con-

write an essay he would transcribe all
his paragraphs on the proposed SUBJ

Among statesmen it is asserted that
President Garfield brought the habit Of
using notebooks to greater perfection
than any other eminent politician In
his large memorandum books there
were many hundreds OF pages filed
with scraps, annotations, picked sem

a collection of authors and newspapers
representing the best thoaght in an
Gent and modern literature. Besides
these quotations there were numerous

On the other hand the late Lord SAL

KID WILLIAMS SEEKS
MATCH WITH JOE LYNCH

Kid Williams. at one time ban.
tamweight champion of America,
has been showing remarkably good
form OF late in his comeback and
now seeks a match, with Joe Lynch
for the title.
Williams won his first spurs by
whipping Johnny CouIon and taking
the championship from him in 1914,
but later lost it to Pete Herman
ut New Orleans. Johnny ErtIe
once won from Williams on a foul
In st. Paul, but he was never
credited with the title.
Williams was considered down
and out about three years ago, but
he seems to have worked wonders
Hn a comeback and a few days ago
defeated Young Montreal in a, ten
round bout at Montreal, Canada.
Any one who can whip a lad like
Montreal has a right to think he
can hold his own with Joe Lynch.
The Kid is just thirty years OF
>age. There are other fighters Older
than the Kid who are still going
good.

JOHNNY DUNDEE TRIMS
FILIPINO LAD EASILY

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Johnny
Dundee's mythical Junior lightweight
championship still belongs to him
today. despite the efforts of Elinor
Flores, the Filipino, to annex 1t.
Dundee handed the dark-sIxinned
boxer from Manila a fine trouncing
In fifteen rounds last night. Only
Flores gameness kept him on his
feet during the last three rounds,
when Dundee was giving him all he
had in stock.
The early rounds were slow, Flores
declining to take the lead and Dun
dee contenting himself with light
sparring. The crowd began razzing
the boys, and Flores landed a couple
of hard left hooks to Dundee's law.
That woke him up, and from then
on he was the Dundee of old.
Twice in the fourteenth round
Flores was sent to the mat for the
count of nine. The fifteenth had
hardly started before Dundee dropped
his man again with a right to the
chin. He took an eight count, and
almost Immediately went down for
nine more. The Filipino was dizzy,
but managed to stay on his feet to
the end Of the bout.

Many experts pick Glenna Collett
as one Of the most likely to lift the
cup. The American star is said to
be one of the best all-around players
developed in years. She is more
like Miss j. Wethered, the British
champion, than any of her sisters
players. Besides being the national
champion, she holds the distinction
of being the first woman to capture
the national and Eastern titles the
same year.
The rise of this girl to the apex
Of the American women's golfing
world came as the result of much
hard work on her part. She was
borN at Providence, r. l., the daugh-
ter of a prosperous general agent of
a life insurance company, George
II. Collect, who is known as a fine
golfer.
Knowing the benefit of an ath-
letic training, he insisted that his
daughter learn everything she
could about sports. At the age of
four this woman gOlf champion
could swim like q fish. At ten
she was one Of the best automobile
drivers in Providence. 1t was not
until 1918 that she took to the
links for recreation.
Miss Collett contested in four ma
tional championships before she won
her crown last September.
Miss Alexa Stirling, who will &C.
company the United States cham
p1on abroad, Is said to be one of the
best golfers developed below the
Mason-Dixon inc.
Miss Stirling was national cham
piOn in 1915, 1919, and 1920.

stronger game this season than ever

81 the series.
= Before the contest Business was
regarded as Eastern's only rival to
be feared and Tech was thought
to have been securely trampled
under foot. Few worms have turn
ed with more spirit than did Tech.
For eight minutes of the first
quarter the strong Business team
was unable to score. Every Tech
player. it appeared. threw all he
had into the battle and Business
for time was stopped cold.
Toward the end Of the first half.
Business. with Tommy Conner and
Chaconas stepping lively, struck its
stride for a spell and crawled to
almost even terms. The half ended
with Tech leading IL to Is.
Many thought that Tech would
crack before the end and BUSH
ness supposedly superior ability
would assert itself. But the
Manual Trainers, with Boyd and
\ Lee playing forward and big
Adams jumping center with sur
prising skin. hung gameIy on.
Boyd and Adams shot four
baskets apiece, all OF Boyd's were
fairly long shots. Adams were
not snow birds.
Once again Westerns teamwork
brought victory. Central's players,
despite a weakness for individual
