TS III GALA EVENT IN BOSTON Monster Military Parade Held This Afternoon With Indiana Well Up in Front. THE FIELD IS DEDICATED. OVER 2,600 TENT8 STRETCHED TO ACCOMMODATE GREAT V PYTHIAN HOST NOW IN NATION- , AL CONVENTION. i Boston, Aug. 4. Today was the big day for the thousands of Knights of Pythias in this city and for the Pythian slaters as well, for their conrentlon was opened. In the bigr military parade of the afternoon the Indiana Knights will come in the early part of the procession. A number of complaints have been received at camp headquarters on Franklin Field from the Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin section that the knights have been greatly annoyed by petty thieving, and several arrests have been made. , The chief official action of the convention was the formal dedication late yesterday of Camp Joseph H. Lyon, on Franklin Field, one of the largest pub lic playgrounds in Boston, where a canvas city of 2,500 tents accommodat ed the greater part of the many guests. The dedicatory exercises were im pressive. Supreme Representative D. Sydney Woodworth, President of the Boston Ways and Means Committee for this convention, transferred the camp to Charles A. Barnes, Supreme Chancellor of the order, who, In turn, transferred it to Arthur J. Stobbart, the Major General commanding the ' secret meeting of the . ; -' rf the Pythian SisCia was held i Hotel Brunswick during the day, e '.tended by Anna M. Young, of Zanesvllle, Ohio, Supreme Chief of the Pythian Sisters. Arrangements were completed last night for the big parade of the Uniform Rank today. The dance seems to fulfill every requisite of an ideal exercise the practical use of all the muscles, the acme of pleasurable emotion and the satisfaction of the aesthetic sense. I have often prescribed dancing to my patients with the most gratifying results. Collier's.

In ortter to create interest in lawn tennis and to promote a tournament to determine the best players in the city, a tennis association will be formed at a meeting to be held some time this week. The Country Club has given permission to make use of its courts during the tournament. It is expected there will be many entries as the game is growing in popularity. The courts at the play grounds are In constant use and many Interesting matches are played on private courts. There is a large number of first class players and it is believed a tournament would be the best means to draw these players into match contests. The association is regarded as the proper organization to conduct a tournament and at the same time pro mote the game. Prizes will be offered to the winners. WHO WILL WIN? NATIONAL LEAGUE.

in the game bid well to be forgotten after this season. Saturday, August 29, has been decided upon as the date upon which President Roosevelt will greet the vic torious American athletes when they return from their conquest of Europe. The American cricket team from Philadelphia won the first day's match against the Irish team at Dublin yesterday. Score another for the Yanks from across the blue. People in Chicago have not become accustomed even at this time to see flat buildings springing up regularly on the site of the old Washington park race course. It is said every old sport sighs as he goes past the place and thinks of what used to be. More dope on that post season team that Is to play ball in this city would be welcome. Why dosen't someone suggest that Ty Cobb, Mike Donlin and Slagle be secured for outfield positions? SHIPPERS SECURE TEMPORARY RELIEF THROUGH COUNCIL (Continued From Page One.) cuse. Why, you see they are not hurting themselves at work out there now. They are not hauling any ties or rails. They have not put down any track. They are waiting for something else to be done. The city has done its share and played fair all the way through. Why not let the traction company show some disposition. Why doesn't it say what it will do in the matter." In voting upon the ordinance council held that during the interim the que tion of Twenty-third street route will be disposed of. Temporary relief is to be granted and the shippers appeared in the light of special beneficiaries at the bands of council. If the traction companies demand the right to use Twenty-third street and at the expiration of the ninety days have their tracks laid, council will have oppor tunity for another squabble on the proposition. A FEARFUL PEST. Ttaa Ferocious Mosquitoes That Swarm la Srandtaavla. Hunters find the mosquitoes a terri ble pest In parts of northern Scandinavia. One writes: "The warmth of the sun is rousing our deadly enemies, the mosquitoes, into active warfare. At tacked as we are by a few score of viciously piping skirmishers from the mighty host, we have before advancing to look to the joints of our harness and don our gauntlets; then in descending the long slope toward our bivouac the scores of the foe are gradually multl plied hundreds, the hundreds to thousands, the thousands to myriads, till we are at length enveloped in a dense cloud of winged fiends. The horses are a distressing sight. From nose to tail, from hoof to withers, their unfortunate bodies are covered with what might be taken at a casual glance for gray blanket clothing, but which is really a textile mass of seething insect life, so closely set that you could not anywhere put the point of your finger on the bare hide. "For such small creatures mosquitoes exhibit an astonishing amount of char acter and diabolical intelligence. They dash through smoke, creep under veil or wristband like a ferret into a rabbit hole and when they can neither dash nor creep will bide their time with the cunning of a red Indian. We wore stout dogskin gloves, articles with which they could have had no previous acquaintance, and yet they would follow each other by hundreds in single file up and down the seams, trying every stitch, In the hope of detecting a flaw." And the same writer concludes: "The problem presents itself, Why are these vermin so horribly bloodthirsty and so perfectly formed for sucking blood? It is one of the great mysteries of nature. On the uninhabited stretches of Finmark they must as a rule exist on vegetable diet, the chances of blood 60 rarely occur." Genesis of Cotton In America. The first planting of cotton seed in the colonies was in the Carolinas in the year 1621, when seeds were planted as an experiment in a garden. Winthrop says that in 'fM3 "men fell to the manufacture of cotton, whereof we have great stores from Barbados." In 1736 it was cultivated in the gardens along Chesapeake bay, especially in the Tlclnity of Baltimore, and at the opening of the Revolution it was a garden plant in New Jersey and New York, but Its real value seems to have been almost unknown to the planters until about 1780. The Chameleon. The.American chameleon, a small lizard, inhabits various parts of the southern United States. The little animal has the remarkable babit of quickly and completely changing its colors, varying from brown to yellow and pale green. Its food consists of insects. The little animal is. perfectly harmless to higher forms of life, is often kept as a pet aad has been worn attached to a,chala as an .ornament. The toes are provided with adhesive pads, which enable the lizard1 to rna upon smooth, vertical surfaces. The eom at the Tan. "All the lower berths are takn." said the ticket seller.

SAME OLD SYSTEM STILL CONTINUED

City Council Still Attends to Routine Matters in Open Meetings. COUNCILMEN COMPLAIN. TELL THEIR FELLOWS OF BAD CONDITIONS OVER THE CITY AND THEN REFER THEM TO BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. It was the same old story last evening and indications are that never will time cause any change. In the years gone by, before there was such an organization as the board of public works, all routine matters such as street and sewer conditions were brought before council and referred by the mayor to the proper committee. The recent law did away with this and provided that the board of public works should attend to all matters of the kind. Blanks have been pre pared upon which councllmen are expected to make any recommendations to the board it is believed necessary. But the old plan of bringing up all such matters In open council is continued and this makes the meetings as tedious and protracted as formerly. The meeting of last evening sa.w no change. Mr. Brown called attention to the condition of the public drinking fountain at Tenth and South . C streets. The foundation was said to be in need of repairs. He also called attention to a vacated pole at Thirteenth and South E streets that has not been removed. Mr. Ogborn directed attention to the condition of the gutter at Eighth and North I streets. There is no outlet for water in the gutters and it backs up over the sidewalks and into yards. He reported the foundation to the fountain at Tenth and North G streets as in bad shape and said it is falling down. Mr. Wettlg complained that the sewer in the alley south of C between South Tenth and Eleventh streets does not carry away the water as rapidly as it accumulates. The crossing at Fort Wayne avenue, North Sixth and C streets is too high, according to Mr. Deuker. He says It is a source of inconvenience to automobilists and the fire department wagons. He spoke of the overflow of water from the inlet to the sewer at Eighth and North E streets and says it extends over the sidewalks and runs Into the cellars following heavy rains. Mr. O'Neal of the board says the matter is being investigated at once and the necessary remedy will be found. The pet hobby of councilman-at-large H. II. Engelbert, was put on display again. He complained about the condition of North Eighth street. He was assured by the board this street will be given attention as soon as the Y. M. C. A. building is completed and obstructions removed. Engelbert had another chance to say he wants to see the street bricked "EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION. Its Griffin One of the Unsolved Eatffmas of the World. The origin of Egyptian civilization has been the enigma of the world for the past twenty-five centuries. Presenting no historic or even mythic infancy, It appears before the world at once as a highly civilized and organic community centuries before Moses w -.s a boy. Upon this subject Renan says, "Egypt has no archaic epoch, but suddenly takes its place in the world in all its matchless magnificence, without father and without mother and as clean apart from all evolution as if it had dropped from the unknown heavens." Would not an explanation at least feasible be found in the hypothesis that it received its civilization from some source no longer existing? Menes, the first historic figure in its long line of dynasties, the outlines of whose per sonality loom up waveringly indefinite but grandly impressive against the deep mythic background of prehistoric story at least 4500 B. C, conceived and executed enterprises extorting the warmest admiration from the best engineers of the twentieth century. Did he not alter the course of the Nile by vast embankments to gain stable foundations other than in shifting sands for his sacred city of Memphis and construct the artificial lake of Moeris, 450 miles in circumference and 350 feet deep, as a reservoir for the waters of the Nile? Look, too, at the colossal achievements of his successors in architecture, sculpture, engineering, astronomical, political, medical, social and military science, to say nothing of navigation and theology. Witness the ruins of the Labyrinth recorded by Herodotus, which had 3.000 chambers, half of them above ground and half below, a combination of courts, chambers, colonnades, statues and pyramids. Witness the wonders of the magnificent temple of Karnak, which still awakens our admiration, a temple, as Denon says, -wherein the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris could be set Inside one of its balls and yet not touch the walls. Witness the sublime pyramids originally built in honor of the sun god Ra ami for use as astronomical observatories, the splendors of Memphis, Thebes and Heliopolls, of the sphinx and the obelisks, the statuary and the numerous temples with the ruins of which the land is still filled.

"The sun's heat is so great" But an intelligent young woman interrupted the scientist Impatiently. "After all," she said, "it is guesswork, this talk about the excessive heat of the sun. You can't prove any of youi claims." He was disgusted. "I can't?" he cried. "Why, it Is the easiest thing in the world to prove that the sun is hot enough to melt Iron, granite, the hardest substances known, Into liquid, into steam." "How would you make such a proof ? she asked incredulously. "With the burning glass," said h "A burning glass Is slightly rounded. Thus it bends into a focus it concentrates upon one small point a numbel of sun rays. The tiniest burning glass, catching only a few rays, will light a fire, set off a gun or bore a red bole in your hand." "Yes." "The solar heat which the burning glass collects for us Is the tiniest f rae-. tion of the sun's actual heat. We can j prove this by focusing with our glass ; rays from a powerful lamp or a great fire. We get a small, bright spot, a lit- j compare with the heat of the lamp itself. "So, knowing, now, that the solar heat which the burning glass gives to us is but a fraction of the 'heat of the sun, we take a burning glass a yard in diameter such glasses have been made for the sole purpose of convincing skeptical persons like yourself and this glass concentrates many hundreds of sun rays for us, and it gives us a heat greater tban we can obtain in any furnace, a heat that will melt rock into vapor." The scientist smiled triumphantly. "There is yeur proof," he said. "The burning glass will only collect a tiny portion o'ji burning object's heat, and the tiny fF tion of the sun's heat that it gives us is yet sufficient to change In a Jiffy a block of granite Into a puff of Bteam."

Mansfield before he was known to fame was cast for a part In "Baron Chevrial," a part so small that other actors refused to play it The night of the first performance Mansfield made the hit of the production owing to the realistic manner in which he simulated death from paralysis. It afterward transpired that he had employed a physician to coach him in portraying the effects of a paralytic stroke. The official board of the Grace M. E. church will meet tonight at the church.

on our w 'ft w w Richmond's Event August 21-30 Moths and Fires. Moths and flames are universally connected, yet few people suspect that danger could arise therefrom. The Insects are of such frail structure that generally they get destroyed before it is possible for them to inflict Injury, and it is hardly credible that the wings would ignite and retain the flame long enough to enable the moth to fly to Its surroundings. That, however, has occurred. The moth was a very large one, and its wings must have been very dry, so that when It floundered through the flame it set fire to one wing and darted on to a curtain near by, which at once flared up. It is possible that many summer evening fires la the country could be attributed to a source of this kind. It is notorious that mysterious fires often arise at sunset in the hot months.
