either a lack of Interest on the part of

absence of any bright and particular

appeals most to the imagination in this

The year 1903 has been noteworthy
from the viewpoint of the football root
er by reason of the advances which have
been made in the standard of excellence
set by the big teams in the matter of
both individual and team play and in
deceptive work by the backs, by the un
usual number of tie games, by the kaleid
oscopic changes of form displayed by
some teams which have not heretofore
been known as ln-and-outers, by the
failure of the quarterback run to make
any marked difference In the style of

ORMOND, Fla., Feb. 1. William K.
Vanderbllt, Jr., bas departed from Or

cease automobile racing until the next
meet at Ormond. , Mr. Vanderbllt will
then have a 120 horsepower car,- with
Which he hopes to . lower his great
bunch of records made at this meet.
He has placed the fifty mile record to
his credit and all intermediate marks
by ten mile stretches. . Ue won the ten
mile event in the invitation race in
0:50. The twenty miles in the fifty
mile championship he did in 17:02, thir
ty miles in 24:11, forty miles in
83:52 2-5 and fifty miles in 40:40 4-5.
These marks, with the; five mile mark
of 3:313-5 and his one mile record of
B9 seconds, are all notable. Oldfield
gained the mile competition record, but,
every mile made 'by Mr. Vanderbllt in
the five mile record averaged better
than Oldfield's time, bearing i out the
assertion by Mr. Vanderbllt that he
was caught napping while changing bis

In the fifty mile race the terrific pace
of a mile and one-fifth a minute was
attained, or seventy-two miles an hour,

much less, ;
The record of a mile in 48 seconds,

HOW TO BEAT
CORBETT,
Jimmy Britt Tells Just How
He Will Put "Young
Corbett " to Sleep, And,
Then He AwoKe.
Jimmy Bltt is quoted as saying that
he will beat Young Corbett with blows
to the stomach. Britt admits, as does
all the hoys Corbett has met, that the
Denver pilgrim has a particularly
strong Jaw. But he thlnk that rips
to the middle works will 1 bring tne
champion down.
Corbett is aware of the Californian's
intention and is preparing himself ac
cordingly, lie does not credit James
with a knockout punch, and therefore
has no fear of being rocked to sleep
with a single swipe.
"But," says the champion, "the
weakest puncher is likely to wear a
man down.
"When KM Tarker was fighting
around Denver he could hardly knock
a fellow's hat off. Few people knew
that Parker was a very weak hitter.
Many still think that he was a knoek-er-out.
But he was anything but that.
He fought fast. He jumped out of ms
corner at the tap of the bell and
began to fight before hiss opponent
hardly had his hands up.
"He simply showered the other fel
low wi th blows, and unless the gam est
kind of a man was in front of Mm;
it was all over but the shouting almost
before the fight began.
"Garrig was the gam est man Par
ker veT fought, and took all the
puncuing that could be ladeled out to
him. . ,r
"I saw another fighter whose name
I don't care to mention quit before the
raining . blows that were not hurt
ing him a particle, and he would have
defeated Parker, had he been-as game
a man as the Kid was.
"As I said before, when you wear a
man down and get .m in a rather
weakened condition, it does not require
a hard punch to put him down and oxrt.
When a fighter Is weak he has no vi
tality to recover, and some- fighters
have made reputations as knockers
out that they were not entitled to.
simply because they knocked a man
out when' a 6-year-old youngster , could
have done the same thing." .

MOODS OF THE MOON.
Indicate What He Weatke Will Be
Some of the Points to Notice
Before r Forecasting;, j
A clear moon indicates frost.
A dull-looking moon means rain.
A single halo around the moon in
dicates a storm.
If the moon looks high cold weathei
may be expected.
If the moon looks down, war.
weather is promised. ' , , .
The new moon on her back always
indicates wet weather.
A double halo around the moon
means very boisterous weather.
If the moon changes with the wind in
the east, then shall we have bad
weather.
If the moon be bright and clear when
three days old, fine weather Is prom
ised. When the moon is visible In the day
time, then we may look forward to cool
days.
When the points of the crescent ol
the new moon are clearly visible, frost
may be looked for.
If the new moon' appears with its
points upward, then the month will b
dry; but should the points be down
ward, a good deal of rain must be ex
pected during the next three weeks.

London. ' Feb 1. Th wrestling

between George Hackenschmidt other
wise known as ine "ltussian ivion,"
and Ahmet! Madrali. who 4s called the

favoalte wrestleri was the sporting
event or the season, rne inatcn was

Madrali was a slight favorite with
the sporting men owing to the aavant
acre of his Ruoerlor heiirht and weight,
He was handicapped, however, by the
fact that he la ' a ; catch-as-catcn-can
wrestler, whereas .Saturday night's

the .rm. He exhibied the helpless
limb to the audience. Amid the great
est excitement, the ref ere awarded
the viotory. to Hackensdomtdt. sur
or(vn who examined him aT It will
be six weeks before Madrali recovers
the use of his arm. It is believed
that at that time there will ibe anotn
r contest between th two men which
will be more satisfactory than that of
Saturday night. Hackenschmidt and
Madrali ' were matched a l ew weeks
ago to -meet for the Graeco-Boman
championship of tho world. Articles
of agreement were signa lmmewiaieiy
Aftor xfudrnlVs vlctorv over Tom Can
non, the veteran English wrestler, who
after the bout acknowledged JViaanau
as the best man he had encountered in
tmih Thrtao who saw hA Turk per
form declared that be was superior as
a wrestler to You sour or iNoraian, ocxiu
of Turkey. He Is only 24 years old
nnd hBsi a rhest develoonieiit of 48
inches and a. neck that would In the
ordinary require a Jv inch couar to
siy nothing of-oalf measurement of 39
inches. He is built in proportion to
his-height of 6 feet, and one can draw
hlg own "conclusions as to the massive
specimen' of humanity Hackenschmidt
had to meet. The Russian is no pigmy
himself in the way of height and
weight. But it is strength that ,tels
in a match. Hackenschmidt is with
out doubt one of the greatest wrest
lers . the , world has ever known..: Ha
has never ben defeated and has thrown
nearly every man he has ever met.
Hacknschmidt is credited with having
put John Plenlng out of it in less
than half , an hour. Mrnest Roeber, who
than baf an hour. Ernest Itoeber, who
has witnessed Hackenschmidt on the
mat, declares that the Russian is a
wonder and that if he ever comes to
America, be will find it a difficult task
to arange a match. He can wrestle
at .either catch-as-catch-oan orGraeco
Roman, but prefer 'the latter style.
The match Was best two in three falls
at Graeco-Roman style, although orig
inally Hackenschmidt decided to have
one fall count.' He thought tbnt thi
would be enough to settle the ques
tion of supremacy and the termination
of the contest showed that his fore
cast was correct. The . match Is the
record in the way of the outside stake,
both investing $500 a side on the out
come. It is understood that Ilaoken
schinld't will -ome to this country, In a
few months provided he can get the
sum he 'asks. He earns S750 a week,
but in order to" show here he wants
no less than $1,000 a week. .
A VERY OLD DINNER.
Anttanary Ate Apple That Ripened
Over ElKhtcen Hundred Year
Afo-Batttr Ripe, Too.
An antiquary in the 'city of Brussels
named Goebel gave, perhaps, the oldest
dinner that has ever been eaten, says
the New York Herald. A description
was given by one of the guests, Mr.
Amasiah Dukes. vHe says: "At that
dinner I ate apples that ripened more
than 1,800 years ago; bread made from
wheat grown before the children of Is
rael passed through the Red sea, spread
with butter that was made when Eliza
beth was queen of England: and I
washed down the repast with wine
which was old when Columbus was
playing barefoot with the boys In Ge
noa. "The apples were from an earthen
Jar taken from the rutns of Pompeii.
The wheat was taken from a chambet
in one of tbe pyramids, the butter from
a 'stone shelf in Scotland, where for
several centuries it - had Iain in an
earthen crock In Icy water, and ' the
wine was recovered from an old vault
in the city of Corinth. There were six
guests at th table,' and each had a
mouthful of bread and a teaspoon ful of
wine, but was permitted to help him
self bountifully to th butter, there be
ing . several pounds - of it. The apple
jar held about two-thirds of a gallon.
The fruit was sweet and as finely fla
vored as if 'It had been picked but yes

method adopted is to file a small groove
around tho tube and separata the glass
with a sharp rap at the place weakened
by the file. The result is not always sat
isfactory, because the end often break
unevenly owing to th difficulty of mak
ing a straight groove with the file. Bet
ter results are obtained when only a
small Incision Is made with a fll, Just
enough to cut through the enamel of
the tube, on on side, and not all around.
While the tube Is still warm front th
friction of th file,, the tube Is' then taken
between the thumbs and forefiagr, the
thumb opposite to the Ills Incision, and
the foreflngem aronndi the tubing, close
to but not covering the incision. Pres
sure of tbsthumbs invariably causes the
tube to break In as straight and clean a
line as though cut with a diamond.
Another method I to use a fine saw
blade (the finer toothed the better, for
a saw is only another form of file), and
this should be kept fed with fine emery,
carborundum, or pulverized silica sand
of hard grit, moistened with camphor,
oil, turpentine or water. A straight,
teady and even stroke should be made,
an when the work I carefully done
against a gauge the cut will be a true
as though It had been ground. Nor t
even a toothed blade necessary, if a suit
able hard and finely gritted abrasive is
used and regularly fed between the glass
and fine wire, watchsprlng, or blnst but
even blade of an ordinary table knife.
The latter will be somewhat slow.' of
course, but a fine steel wire run at high
speed like a band aw,4f regularly fed
with fin emery or carborundum; will
give very satisfactory results, not only
for cutting either straight lines or
curves in window, but plat or optical
glass. In such thickness as makes cut-?
ting with a diamond difficult, precarious
or impossible. H ;
' Window glass, . especially single
strength, ean be accurately split either
in straight or curved lines by first mak
ing an incision through th uamel of
the glass, and then holding a hot iron
close to th incision till a fracture is
started. Th fracture will follow the
hot Iron with remarkable fidelity. ' Th
Iron should be preferably round and
somewhat blunt and with a bulky head
fa ike an ordinary fir poker), so as to
retain its hat well for long cuts, espe
cially for thick sheet, to keep tBe frac
ture going when once started, eten If
two heated Iron have to be used.

Mareellin Pellet, a traveler who few
recently returned from Gautemsla, de
scribes a curious species of fish, th Pa
cilia dorri, which h found in th bollinl
lake of Ammatitlan, cays London An
swers. It passe its days literally "in
continual hot water." 80 hot is tfct
water of this lake, it is said,' that ts
thrust one's hand into it means scalded
fingers. Ebullition Is', however, some
what tempered, as the really boiling
water rise to the surface, leaving
t-cmpftrature of 35 degrees cent, at th
level where the fish is found, which il
even then excedingly warm for cold
blooded creatures like fish.
Frank Biickland states in on ef hit
works" that the naturalist, Brooeeonet
found by xpr!ment that some fresb
water fish would live for several days is
water so hot that a human being eowdd
not keep his hand in it for a minute. .
De Baussure, the Swiss eeientist, dis
covered living eels in the hot springs bl
Aix, the temperature of which avrsge
113 degrees Fahrenheit. Humboldt also
saw living fish thrown up from a vol
vaao in South America.

: An innovation in the financial mam

ed at Glenville, near Cleveland. O., hy
Bev. TV. CDetlicjg, pastor of the Teo
pie's Congregational church,; says the
Cincinnati,; Enquirer! The now plan
provides ror the abolishment Of the col
lections j(,.at church services, also the
admission fee st church socials. It is?
needless to say that the innovation 3s
causing mucn comment m cnurcn or
cles, and that the result of RSvV Mr,
Ietllnge experiment will be watche.3

diously avoided, to Say nothing of qnlH
raffles and ' like enterprises which 1 ar
sometime resorted to.
, The means .under the new plan with
which a church is to be supported may
ho summed up-in two wordspersons 1
contributions. On a Sunday in Dp- ,
cember at th Glenville church, at both
me morning ana evenxug erTics,
pledges to cover the expenses of an en
tire year were requested. These were
made in sums varying from a few cent
to several dollars per month. It is now,
planned to make no further reference
to contributions at aby church services
for one year, to come, tf any furtherfj
funds are needed .during, the year th
members of th church' will be inform. .
ed of the need privately.
. According , to Rev. Mr. Detllng. on
advantage of the new plan .is that it ,
leaves every one, whether a member er,
an outsider, free to attend cbrirch serr;
Ices without bIn gf embftrTaesed or sn,
noyed by the constant call for money.'
Secondly, it avoids all possibility of Ick'
troducing questionable ways of making
money -at church socials' In the third,
place, it is the truly businesslike wayj
of' conducting a' church., , Patrons of
church entertainments or suppers uei-
slly are pay.but a small margin t6
the church whea the. cost of grrtag th,;
affair is codsidered, 'Again, the new.

In the statement of Rev. Mr. Detlin
to his people In inaugurating his newl
plan he eald.in part; 'I.beIive that
while .these ' sod a Is, entertainments, j
