 Johnny Sheehan refereed tho pre- liminary game Saturday night and did neat job of 1t. The record of 10 baskets from the field, hung up by Carlo Restclli Sat urday night is a high mark for the team this year. The nearest ap- proach to it was week ago when Taylor rang in nine double deckers against the Brooklyn A. C.
 Both Taylor and Carlo are tied for points scored in game. Rostelli scored 21 last night and week ago i Taylors nine field. goals and three fouls gave him the same tally. But all this is irrelevant. The boys want 10 forget their scoring records for they mean nothing. Teamwork is what counts and a player who will pass up a possible shot 10 pass the ball to another who has q better chance is the more valuable.
 That is the way the locals arc playing this year and If they will only continue they have nothing to worry about.

these localized valences exist is ad-
mitted on all hands; but 1t Is simply
due to a misunderstanding that this
argument ever was used against the
orbit theory.
Physicist View Stated.
For no physicist-and I wish to
emphasize this fact-has ever ad-
all rotate in orbits in the same plane.
Localized valonces are just as COM
patible with the orbit theory, when
the orbits are properly distributed in
space, as with the stationary electron
conception.
All this I pointed out in 1915, try
ing thereby to clear up the miscon-
ception which existed in the minds of
chemists as to the way in which the
physicists were thinking about atoms.
The physicist has piled Ossa on Pelion
in his quantitative proof of the exist
ence Of these electron orbits.
These new results are incompatible,
however, with the shapes of orbits
with which the physicists have been
working in the field of optics during
the last five years.
To this extent, then, ] am able to
help the chemist attack the imagined
electronic orbits of the physicists.
can enable him to say with a good
deal of certainty that these orbits
cannot be of precisely the type which
we physicists have been playing with
SO assiduously for the past five years.

Big Saving on Freight Shown in
Annual Report.

According to the annual report Of
the Alaska road commission to the War
Department, made public yesterday,
its total expenditures up to June 80,
1894, were $7,s72,o75, Of which amount
$4.46s,057 were for new construction
and ds$3.404,01S for maintenance. The
roads and trails, the commission says,
have not only opened up to develop
ment nearly all sections Of the terri

in freight charges. Data collect ed
by the commission since 1911 indi-
cate that there has been annual
saving of 100000 In the cost Of

The use of automobiles in Alaska

approximately 80 per cent of tho
traffic on the main wagon roads is

ayers to the contrary.
There l saw a man who had the
unique faculty of doing several things
at one and the same time and doing
them we'll. He recited poetry, copied
headlines from newspapers, answered
questions that were asked by the au-
dience and made mental calculations,
all of them at the same time. 1t was
little short of uncanny and 1t GER
tainly was an exceptional accom-
plishment. Some time ago I remem-
ber reading that Caesar could die
tate seven letters at the same time.
This fellow ran Caesar a close second.
1t is difficult to imagine how a per-
son can keep all those things in his
head at one and the same time, and /
know that 1t isn't given to all of us
to do similar things.
And now to get down to my story.
Don't take 1T for granted that you
can remember every connection you
make In your set. If you do, you are
bound to forget something and are
due for a disappointment when you
connect up your set and get nothing.
If you are working from a wiring
diagram, get a red-or blue pencil and
mark over each connection as you
make 1t on your set.
If you are working from my step
by-step instructions. underline each
instruction as you make the connec-
tion called for in that instruction.
After you make the connection glance
at the instruction or diagram again
and make sure you actually connected
the terminals called for instead of
some others. OF course, 1t sounds
silly to say that you made a wrong

'1oafer electron" theory. He has
imagined the electron sitting around
ready to hold on to similar loafer
electrons in other atoms.
The physicists, on the other hand,
have preferred to think of electrons
as rotating with enormous speed in
orbits, and as occasionally flying out
of these orbits for one reason or an
other.
Now, the arguments for the '1oafer
electron' theory are two in number.
