Gus Lawson, an Americal cyclist, and a German rider named Scheurmann were killed today and another German xider named Meinhold was fatally injured when a tire on Lawson's motorcycle burst, throwing the racers in a heap at the bottom of the track. TROOPS GUARD ITS GOLD. Every Night the Bank of England Has a Military Display. For 130 years a company of guardsmen in charge of an officer marched every evening from the Chelsea or the Wellington tful-racks to the Bank of England. For the last few years, owing to the great increase of street traffic, the soldiers have gone by the underground railway, and nowadays .the nightly guard is drawn from the troops stationed In the Tower of London. If the visitor to London waits by the bank any evening at half past 6 o'clock "tie will see about thirty men in the charge of a lieutenant and two sergeants marched up in parade dress with fixed bayonets and loaded ammunition belts. These are the only troops that may march through the city of London with fixed bayonets. The men themselves like this duty. v"ben they march back to quarters, about 7 o'clock in the momlug. they Jaay do aa they please for the rest of "the day, and tltey receive an extra rahUltaff a day from the bank man!gera. Each man also has a pair of !flae blankets wherein to wrap himself while he waits for his turn to go on gnard, and In winter big fires are lighted for them.

That a serious mistake was made by acting Ambassador O'Shaughnessy in issuing a public statement that President Huerta has given no definite assurances that he would not be a candidate for the Mexican presidency became apparent at the White House today. President Wilson is in rather a belligerent mood regarding O'Shaughnessy's contradiction of the official confirmation given last week that the President believes that Huerta has given a most explicit promise to, eliminate himself from the presidential race. The indications are that the President will reprimand O'Shaughnessy. SHOULD CHECK EXODUS. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 8. A. new state department order that consul should check the exodus of Americana from Mexico and stating that the United States government sees no necessity for rushing out of the country, has been received by Consul General Shanklin. The new order became known to many members of the American col ony and created great complexity. Tne first order was understood to mean to leave the country immediately and is now followed by instructions that ! there is no need to hurry and that I Americans should take time to close up their business affairs. 20 GIVEN TRANSPORTATION. VERA CRUZ, Sept. 8. More than twenty destitute Americans were furnished transportation to New Orleans today by American Counsel Canada who has thus far sent over 200 destitute Americans to the United States since President Wilson's proclamation advising Americans to leave Mexico. Numerous requests for transportation have been denied because the applicants were not believed to be destitute. Vera Cruz is crowded with Americans awaiting steamships and hotels and other quarters are at a premium. SATURDAY BATHING. A Custom the Occident Borrowed From the Oriant. Most barbarians, Judged by modern standards, were anything but cleanly in their personal habits. In England. France and Germany bathing was an almost unknown custom until after the Crusades. The pilgrims from the east brought home with them ideas of the bath as help In the treatment of disease, and bathrooms were gradually introduced into the hospitals. From the hospitals the ideas of bathing spread generally. People who had been treated there saw the value of keeping the body clean in order to resist disease. The great plague that swept over Europe in the early years of the fourteenth century helped to teach tills lesson. By the fifteenth century there was scarcely a large city that dM not possess well patronized public bathing establishments, although It was not until the seventeenth century that the Turkish bath was introduced, and not until the eighteenth century that sea bathing, so common among the American Indians, was tried experimentally. Saturday was chosen as bathing time and the reason is not difficult to imagine. On Sunday everybody was compelled to go to church, whether he would or not As the Moslem in the east bathed before entering the mosque so did the medieval man before entering his church, only he must take his bath on Saturday afternoon in order to be clean the fallowing day. There was even a distribution of bath money to the children whoe parents were unable to pay for their bath. New York Post. "

' BUSINESS MEN OF RICHMOND OPPOSE (Continued from Page One) years and is still as good as it ever was. Mr. Jones later admitted that when he took his annual inventory that a much lower valuation was placed on this machine than on his modern typewriters. Mr. Jones stated that rlie cost of the interest on the investment would be more than repaid by the satisfaction of getting quick election returns, and the positive knowledge that every vote cast would be counted and that none would be thrown out. He gave It as his opinion that the county commissioners did not need to conduct an investigation of the merits of the voting machines at all, as an investigation of this nature has been carried on by different people in this city for a long time. He argued that should the commissioners think it desirable to make an investigation they should wait until the county council had authorized an appropriation for thejr purchase as otherwise an investigation might prove of no use. BONNY BLUE BONNETS. And tho Towns In Scotland Famed Foi Their Manufacture. Since lo3 the town of Stewarton, Scotland, has been noted for its manufacture of the "blue bennet," famed in song. In the infancy of the trade Glasgow was its chief market, and was visited yearly at the great July fair by the bonnet makers with their year's manufacture of nightcaps and bonnets. A record of 1650 shows that the Stewarton corporation was penalized by the Glasgow trades because of the insufficiency of its yearly product In 1729 the Stewarton corporation consisted of thirty-live members, who were bound by very stringent rules to keep up the price of bonnets, by periods of compulsory desistance from trade. In one instance an offender was fined $20 for going to work at Kilmarnock. The Stewarton bonnet makers held themselves and their goods superior to those of Kilmarnock, and a fine of $250 was imposed for the offense of selling Kilmarnock bonnets as Stewarton ones. In 1750 a law was passed enforcing the use of indigo only as the dyestuff. In the early days of the industry the bonnets were knitted in the open air, when the weather was favorableArgonaut HE KNEW THE ENGLISH. Consequently the "Heathen Chinee" Took No Chances. An Englishman who was appointed to an important post in China got married soon after. Among the recipient of the usual little cardboard boxes containing a piece of wedding cake was a Chinese merchant with whom the bridegroom had an outstanding account for goods supplied. After the honeymoon one of the first persons th newly wedded husband met was bis celestial creditor. "And bow did you like the cake?" said the Englishman laughingly, aftei the usual congratulations. "Ah, haP returned the Chinaman, with a cunning leer. "Me no such big fool to eat him, sah. Me put cakee in fire. Burn him up. He. he!

When an electric current flows through a conductor it is not sent or pushed through, like a fluid in a pipe, but is rather handed on from particle to particle. In other words, it Is a transfer of electrical energy which can be illustrated by setting up a row of rubber bails tangent to each other. Now. if we strike these balls at one end tbo energy will be transferred from ball to ball and can be utilized at the other. Here we had no actual flow, and yet the energy was transferred from one end to the other. The basic units which we use are the unit of the rate of Bow, r ampere;, the unit of electrical pressure, or volt, and the unit of resistance to flow, or the ohm. Aera.

Fowell. a government surveyor, tells bow one of his party was led into a most hazardous predicament. He says: We landed on a grassy nook at the foot of a precipitous mountain spur. After supper one of the trio tried to climb to a Tedge of white spar that could be plainly seen from the camp. After an hour's bard work be reached the ledge, but it proved disappointing: He then saw that be could not descend without eyes in his toes. If he could ascend a few hundred feet be might lower himself down a draw by the help of scattering alder brush. He spent another hour in getting to that place only to discover a precipice in the path he had expected to descend. There was another chance left; he might climb to the top of the spur far above. No living man could hare clung to the face of that precipice a minute if it bad not been for the moss that was rooted in the small crevices. He continued climbing until about 10 o'clock, when he paused to look down on the campiire and the water, more than a thousand feet below him. He felt a sickness come over him. so he turned his gaze to the rock wall, a foot from his face. When near the summit he found himself face to face with a perpendicular wall about twelve feet high. There appeared to be a small bench on top of this wall, on which he might rest if he could reach it He sat for a few moments on a large rock that lay at the foot of the wall; then with his knife he cut niches for finger and toe holds. Holding on by these be climbed up and dug a sort of trench through the mo6s on the rim above, through which he might draw his body. Then he descended to the rock for a long rest before making the final effort He finally nerved himself to the task, put his fingers in the niches and drew himself from the rock which, with the pressure of the departing foot, said goodby and went bumpins down. down, down. The man was left clinging to his niches hope and life above, sure death below. Big drops of sweat stood on his forehead as be steadily worked up. up. and held with one hand while he dug the other into the moss above. Half f his body finally rested on the edjre, while the other half hung in space without a foothold. It seemed Impossible to move from that position until be saw an alder stem, an inch in dia'meter. that had grown on the little flat bench. He tried its strength. It enabled him to pull himself up and He on the narrow bed of moss, where he thought of friends far away and his own folly. There was but one way ont and that was along a six inch shelf about 100 feet to the westward that ended on the sloping ridge. Along this a man could edge his body by holding on to the jagzed places In the rock wall. He took off his shoes and set off along thst sloping path, but be had to be careful not to look down from his dizzy height to tbe distant campfire. The feat was accomplished safely and a thankful mortal lay on the green, grassy ridge In complete collapse. His aneroid barometer recorded 2.140 feet abev the sea, and his watch told him tttttt was fcaJpM ja4a. the

WEEK SAW DECLINE 111 WHEAT RECEIPTS

Only 119 Cars Expected in Chicago at Close of Day. CHICAGO. Sept. S Primary receipts of wheat for last week were 7.701.000 bu.. compared with 11.932,000 bu. a year ago. Weather conditions were favorable in the Northwest, but there were frosts in the extreme north of the Canadian wheat belt. One hundred and nineteen care are expected here by late today. Corn showed a weakness late in the wvk. Oats held comparatively steady. Hog products were fairly active. Toledo wired: "The big mills in thta section have only about one-third or one-half the amount of wheat in store they had last year at this time. They have already gone to Chicago for some." Advises Caution. Greg son and Co.. say: "The new futures promise great activity, and the eager demand for tht last week suggest that there is only one side to the situation. We. however, do not agree to that now. and on the basis of 7, to Sc for the early winter hogs, we should advise caution as there Is always a possibility of over-buying on a runaway trade like this." Complaints of weather being too hot and dry for plowing, coming in late last week, were somewhat dispelled by general showers through the Central West. MOTHER-OF-PEARL. Diffraction Grating Causes Its Beaut! ful Iridescence. Tbe apparent color of root her- f -pearl was for a long time somewhat of a puzzle to scientists. Later It was found that the surfsce of mother-of-pearl consisted of fine striaUons or ridges, with, of courwe. HUle hollows between. This explained everything, for it was then to the scientists nothing more or less than an ordlnsry diffraction grating. To prove It still further an impression of the surface was taken In black wax. and tbe wax Itself exhibited the beautiful display of color shown In tbe original mother-of-pearl surf see. Tbe color Is not due t pigment, but to the cancellation In part of tbe right falling on tbe surface. To undents nd this better It will be well to explain a diffraction grating. It consists of a piece of piste glass upon which sre engraved many parallel lines. Rowland has been able to scratch lines on a glass so thst there are 10.000 to the Inch and tbe distance from one to tbe other do "jot vary by one-millionth of that distance In the 20.000. As white light or sunlight consists of every color known and as light travels la waves, at certain places If light Is coming from several different directions very close to one another some of these waves will meet In what re known as opposite phases and will blot one another out and tbe only remaining color will be the white. It can be easily seen what is meant by opposing phases from a considers1 tlon of waves on the seashore. If the top of a big wave meets a trough of another they cancel, and no wave at all Is the result The same takes place la light phenomena. Light consists of aa ether wave, simitar to wireless wave, only much shorter, and if its wave is destroyed none of that light can be seen by the eye. Colors of silk are due In tbe main to the same thing as mother-of-pearl, especially shot silk. It as with the pearl, can be perfectly reproduced. New York Tribune.
