SBO,OOO, in Mexico EI Paso. Tex., March 2.—An entire ly different angle is put on Jack John son's present attitude regarding the Havauna-Jtiarez-El Paso controversy l>y a private letter received from the black champion. Johnson never at any time was wor ried about the means that were selected to get him into Mexico and up through the rebellion-cursed country. What he was chietiv concerned in was how he was to yet out of Mexico with his $30,000 after the fight with Jess Wil lard. The champion felt satisfied, he said in his letter, which was dated at the Barbados. B. \Y 1., that he could get. into Mexico without anything but the Joss of a lot of time. But it appears that a lot of people have told him things about conditions in the northern section of the republic. This got him to thinking. He figured out that if he was paid off ou the Mex ican side he would either have to send the money into the United States with some trusted friend, or run a big risk of being held upon his way out. It was a tough proposition and Johnson could not fathom it. That's ■why he did not come to Juarez and t>s.ttle Wiilard. .*t least this is the intimation in his letter. STIFF FOOTBALL WORK Michigan Candidates to Condition by Gym Practice Captain Cochrntf. of the Michigan football team, proposes n strenuous in door course of training for the Wolver ine candidates by systematic work in the gymnasium Last year an attempt was made to carry on an extended in door training schedule, but the innova tion was not taken to kindly by the Wolverine athletes, and the benefits de rived were not as great as anticipated. This year the system is no longer a new one. and Captain Cochran is con fident that the candidates will turn out for the indoor practice in full force. Fifty-seven men have already signi fied their intention of joining the gym nasium squads. Captain Cochran and six other veterans will take charge of the workouts. Th<> teachers have been chosen chiefly among the linemen, as it will be among this class of candidates that the heavy work will be done. Several of the athletes who will be' caudidates for the 'varsity gridiron squad next year are now working out with either the track or baseball squads, and for this reason will prob ably not take part in the gymnasium drills with the football iuen. Trainer] Farrell and Dr. GeoTge A. May. the gymn director, will help out Captain' Cochran and his assistants in directing the work of the various squads. ' ; Stailings Greets His Advance Guard Macon.

H MAGNESIA IN SEA SHELLS Effect of Climate on the Composition of fechinoid Skeletons Washington, I). C., March 2.—Chem | ical analyses of startishes, sea urchins, j ami crinoids, collected from all parts ■ | of the world, show that the skeletons ! of these animals contain much ntagne- I sia. The amount present is found by j I the State Survey to . vary with the temperature of the water i : in which the creatures lived. The per ' centage of magnesia is highest in those i specimens that lived in tropical waters I and lowest in forms from the icy seas I of Greenland and the Antarctic, with 1 j a regular gradation 'between which 1 i even shows the 1 1 effect of cold ; ix-eun currents upon life at the sea j bottom. investigations suggest that the ' skeletons of these animals have the | composition of magnenian limestone, or dolomite, and it is possible that they furnish clues, not only as to the climatic [ 1 conditions under which such limestones ' are now formed, but also as to the tem peratures of the oceans in different re gions of the earth where, during dif ferent periods of geologic historv grent. deposits of magnesian limestone were I formed. Examinations of these marine I invertebrates will, it is hoped, yield j definite information as to the processes ! of dolomite formation. P. K. K.
