The broken record was largely due
to a sprint of Charles w. Paddock of
Los Angeles in the third 100 yards,
and to tremendous burst of speed
who beat the British sprinter, Harold
Abrahams to the tape after the latter
had badly fumbled in taking the
baton from the previous British run
ner.
The Union jack was hoisted at the
conclusion of the mile relay, signi-
Tying that the BritisherS had won the
race which was very close. Britain's
success in this event was largely due
to the efforts of the short-striding
Scottish flyer, Eric Liddell, who
steadily overhauled the Chicagoan, H
M. Fitch, and beat him by two yards.
From then onward it was almost
continuous hosting of the Stars and
Stripes. The four-mile relay was the
most grueling race of the afternoon,
and the competitors were truly thank
full that the British climate was a lit
tie more favorable to them than was
the air at Paris last week. Both
teams showed excellent work in this
event. The United States won each

YACHTS BEGIN LONG
LAKE MICHIGAN RACE


CHICAGO, July 19.-As darkness
settled over Lake Michigan tonight
twenty-five yachts swept to the
northwest with stiff southeasteriy
wind Milling their sails in the start of
the nineteenth annual Chicago Yacht
Club race to Mackinac Island, the
largest fleet ever to start on the long
est fresh-water race in the world.
Judging from previous races, the
winner probably will reach Mackinac
within forty or fifty hours, depend
ing upon weather conditions tomor-
row. The yachts Kayoshk II, Sari,
Jack Park III and Intrepid appear to
have the most likely chance to cap
ture the prize. The Milwaukee sloop
Borelo is considered a dangerous'con-
tender, providing the wind shifts to
the northeast.
With the wind blowing stronger as
the craft bore northward on the 337-
mile course, every yacht crowded on
canvas.

Last of the "Longhorns"

The day of the s1onghorn," the
Texas steer famed for Its breadth of
horn and lightness Of body, is past.
Today there Is not real longhorn In
the whole of Texas, not even In Pecos
valley, where 1t made Its last stand
against the blood Of high breeding
as practiced by the Northerners who
have converted Texas from a raising
ground Of horns and speed to a home
of real beef. The genuine longhorn
weighed but from 600 to TOO pounds
and could race with coyote. 1t had
descended from the early cattle Of
the Spaniards, who were the first
white settlers Of the Rio Grande coun-
try and the semi desert lands Of the
Southwest. 1t has been years since
real longhorn has been seen on the
plains of Texas. But the greatest OF
all longhorns was not killed by man.
This steer, "a maverick, lone outcast
from his herd, who lived and roamed
alone, fell prey to wolves In the
Devils River mountains years ago.
His horns are now in San Angelo.
These, measuring eight feet from tip
to tip, were found by cowboys.

Care of Plants

A report issued by the Purdue uni-
versity agricultural experiment sta
ton says that more plants die from
improper watering than from any
other cause. 1t recommends the fol-
lowing: Water thoroughly and then
allow the soil to dry out until 1t LIS
only well moistened (just before It
crumbles and cracks) before watering
again. Water your plants when they
need 1t, and do not go by the calendar.
1t may be twice week or once day,
depending on the temperature and hui
nudity of the air in the room and the
size and vigcr Of the plant. Each pot
win require its own particular amount
of water. Never allow plants In jar
dInieres and bowls to stand In water
for any length of time. In addition to
the regular watering, plants will re-
spond to frequent cleaning. Put them
In the bathtub, kitchen sink or cellar,
during the winter, or out of doors
during the summer, and wash off the
leaves. Large-leaved plants, like rub
Der plants and palms, may be rubbed
with water and sponge or soft rag.
This removes the dirt and grease
which clogs the breathing pores of the
leaves. During the summer 1t Is an
excellent plan to put the plant out
during the light rains.

He is very fond Of wild berries and
may frequently be encountered In the
berry patches. Becoming aware of the

Jim Laney, out in the berry patch
looking for a stray horse, had a black

About Fire Bricks

lie Chatelier and Bogitch have been
engaged for some time in researches
upon fire brick and the best makeup
to be employed. Such fire brick is
composed of graduated silica and va
rious oxides In powder used as bind
ing material It is found that the
best binding substance is impalpable
quartz powder, which Is produced In
special crushing mills. The use Of
this powder considerably increases the
strength Of the bricks at high tenn
perature of 1900 degrees centigrade,
and this is one of the most important
qualities of fire brick.

| Doing easily what others find diff
cult Is talent, doing what is impos-
slble for talent is genius, said Amiel
IN bis charming and pensive Journal
Perhaps no more true and trenchanf
definition has ever been coined The
practice that makes perfect Is the
path Of progress followed BY talent !;
but the wind of genius bloweth where
1t listeth. The logic of promise and
conclusion, the law Of cause and eff
feet, always apply In the develop
ment of talent; with true genius there
Is always the suggestion of the inter-
vention of miraculous element.
Talent, 1t is true. becomes the tool
OF genius, which must be tempered By
time and sharpened by work. The al
most infinite capacity for tremendous
effort and tIreless toll shown by every
first rate genius has given rise to the
popular notion that inspiration is only
a highfalutin' word for Precipitation,
and that Carlyle may have been right
when he said that genius means the
transcendent capacity for taking trou-
BILE.
Directors of settlement house on
the lower east side Of New York have
undertaken to make systematic and
persistent search for latent genius
among the children of the poor. 1t is
their belief that Gray was right about
the many flowers that blush unseen
and waste their sweetness on the des-
ert air, and If there is anything they
can do to prevent 1t there win be no
more mute inglorious Millions Of the
slums whose potential contribution
shall be lost to the world for want of
opportunity.
The idea of the patron, an indi-
vidual or an organization, whose time
ly aid will promote talent and encour-
age genius is. of course, not new. But
the suggestion of a society whose
chief concern 1t will be to seek to
discover and then develop potential
genius Is something of an innovation.
But, as matter of fact and record,
the history of genius would seem to
indicate that along with the special
gift Is usually born an indomitable
will which enables the genius to over
ride all difficulties of environment, all
want of opportunity, and arrive at last
at the destined goal.--Philadelph

Even at an early age Andrew Car

pulse to found libraries-so we learn
from Mr.. A. B. Farquhar in the First

butler said he could not wake him.

Mr.. Anderson said he might have ac-

there made up his mind that If he ever
became wealthy he would found IL
braries, and give young men the same
opportunity that he was enjoying.
