THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 0, 1010.
Notes of
the
Sportsmen
IT is to golf that
tho followers of
tlint sport 'nre
now turning their
attention, nml from
now on tlioy will
have sonic exciting
contests to witness,
many of the World's
greatest players
having entered the
numerous tourmi
ciLinixs evans, jn. nionts nrrnuged for
tho summer of 1010. In fuet, golf lias
never been as popular as at present,
nnd In no season since the game wits
first played in America have so many
interesting events on tho links been
planned. These will bring together the
best golfers known botb here nnd
abroad.
This season In the coming contests n
western lad promises to niako some of
tbe famous golf stars work hard to re
tain their laurels. lie is young Charles
Evans, Jr., of Illinois, who last year, tit
tho age of eighteen, captured tho west
ern golf championship nnd several oth
er titles. Unlike most of our best play
ers, be has never taken a lesson in
golf, but seems born to tho game, ns It
were. In 1007 ho entered his first im
portant contest, that of tho western
lnterscholnstlc tourney, and easily car
ried off first honors, repeating this per
formance tho following year. Although
Evnns met reverses in a number of
minor tournaments in 1009, his victo
ries in tho Omvcntsia and western
open championships nnd his superb
polf in tho tournament of the United
States Golf association have stamped
him, tho critics say, as ono of Ameri
ca's greatest amateurs, to bo feared
and respected ns an opponent by any
golfer In tbe land.
It has always been tho aim and am
bition of every crack swimmer the
world over to perform tbe nlmost Im
possible feat of swimming the English
channel, but up to date that Journey
is credited to only one man, Captain
Webb. Now, however, an American
is devoting all his time and attention
to conditioning himself for this chan
nel trip, nnd there is every hope thnt
he will succeed in making it Bud
Goodwin is his name a name known
and remembered wherever big swim
ming contests have
taken place. He
has particularly
shone In long dis
tance contests in
tho water, having
powers of endur
ance little short of
marvelous. It Is
principally for this
reason that ex
perts believe h e
can duplicate
Webb's feat.
BCD GOODWIN.
Goodwin stands sis feet e inch,
weighs 100 pounds when In condition
and is twenty-nine years old. Ho is a
member of the New York Athletic
club and is ono of the best water polo
players that organization has ever had.
He will attempt tho channel trip next
summer, In the meantime training ns
no swimmer has ever trained before
for the long, punishing grind that has
exhausted so many men before half
the journey was over.
The Hat 8traw Crop.
Tho greater part of tho straw em
ployed for making summer bats comes
from Italy. To obtain u suitable straw
for this purposo tho wheat Is sown as
thickly as possible In order that the
growth of the plant mny bo Impover
ished as well as to produce a thin
stalk. The Italian wheat blooms at the
beginning of Juuo and Is pulled up by
hand by tho roots when the grain Is
half developed. Should it bo allowed
to remain in the ground a longer time
the straw would becorao too brittle for
tho purpose for which It Is grown.
Uprooted straws to tho number of
about flvo dozen, tho size of tho com
pass of the two hands, are firmly tied
together in llttlo sheaves and stowed
away in barns. After that the straw is
again spread out to catch tho heavy
summer dews and to blench in the sun.
When the product has been sufficiently
bleached it is put into smaH bundles
nnd classified. Tho last step Is to cut
it close above tho first joint from tho
top, when it Is again tied "up In small
bundles containing about sixty stalks
each and is then ready for tho market.
Harper's Weekly.
The Languages of Paradise.
Every languago has its admirers. In
"Luello" the author, Owen Meredith,
maintained that when ho heard French
spoken as ho approved ho "found him
self 'Quietly falling in love. Edward
Hutton is nnothcr inntnnco of this lin
gual fascination. In stating his, pref
erence in hi3 enchanting "Cities of
Spain" ho recalls an interesting me
diaeval legend. Ho says:
"And as I listened to the splendid
syllables of tho Castlllan tongue that
rang eloquently through Uio twilight I
rcmombered tho saying of that old
Spanish doctor of whom James How
ell tells us In his 'Instructions For
Forraine Truvell to wit, that Spanish,
Italian, and. French, theso throo daugh
ters of tho Latin language, wero spo
ken in paradise; that God Almighty
created tho workl tn Spanish, tho
tempter persuaded Eve in Italian and
Adam begged pardon in French."
DECK HAND TO SENATOR.
Remarkable Rite of Napoleon D. Brow
rd, Former Governor of Florida.
One of the most unique tlgurot In
tho limelight Just now is Napoleon II.
Broward of Florida, who recently de
feated Senator Taliaferro at the pri
maries for tho hitter's seat in the
United States senate. Ho has come
up tho ladder of fame from the low
est rung nnd has served as governor
of tho TJverglsido State.
Mr. Broward was born upon n Flori
da farm flfty-thrco year ago. Whan
fourteen years old he was an Intnato
NAPOLEOK D. DnOWAHD.
of a logging enmp nnd three years Int
er a roustabout on n river steamer. At
sixteen years old he was one of the
crew of n codflshery on tho banks of
Newfoundland and afterward served
as n pilot oil tho St. Johns river bar.
Afterward he became part owner and
operator of a line of river steamers.
In 18S7 he gave up tho sea to run
a wood yard. The same year he was
appointed sheriff for Duval county, In
which he was born, to fill a vacancy
caused by death. By reappointment
and election he remained, sheriff until
1000, when he went to the state legis
lature from his county. Ho became
governor four years later.
The mission in life of the new sen
ator has been the reclamation of the
Everglades of Florida. This was the
issue that carried him into tho ofliee
of governor.
A. PIATT ANDREW.
New Assistant Secretary of Treasury
Noted Financial Expert. '
If you are fond of "springing" a puz
slo on your friends hero is something
in that line that should interest you:
How can a chap making more money
than any other man In tho world give
up such a position for one paying
$5,000 a year nnd still be tho gainer
financially? Tho answer is: Bo tho
director of Uncle Sam's mint and then
win the appointment of assistant sec
retary of the treasury, just as Pro
fessor A. Piatt Andrew hns recently
done. In his former job, that of chief
of the mint, he made, but did not earn,
you must remember, more money than
any other man in the world and re
ceived a salary of $4,500 annually for
his work, whllo his now position pays
$5,000.
Professor Andrew, who has suc
ceeds Charles D. Norton as assistant
l'llOFESSOlt A. riATTlANDIlEW.
secretary of the treasurer, Is thirty
seven years old and n natlvo of In
diana, having been born In Lnporte
In 1873, nnd Is ono of our most noted
exports of nil financial subjects. Ho
was inado a doctor of philosophy nt
Harvard In 1000, but Jn the meantime
had performed treverul other notablo
fonts, such iw roaUlug tho football and
baseball tenuis, studying In Paris nnd
Berlin nnd generally showing that bo
was a man of miisclo nnd brains. In
1003 bo began to show himself as an
expert in money matters, academically
speaking, and his articles on financial
problems began to attract govern
mental attention.
Tho lightning struck when President
Taft needed a new roan to dfroct tho
mint. College President Eliot sent
Professor Andrew to Senator Aldrlch,
Senator Aldrlrrh Bent him to Secretary
MacVcngh, and MncVeagh took him In
hand and. sent him along to United
States President Tuft. Taft, signing
his appointment, smiled and said,
"Hero Is where Harvard put ono over
on Yale."
SHOOTING A BUTTERFLY.
New Guinea Variety the Largeet In
the World and Dinger Than a Bird.
Tho largest butterfly known is
found only In British Now Guinea and
specimens nro worth nnythlng from
$100 upward. Tho male measures eight
inches ncross tho wings nnd tho fo
innlo not less than eleven Inches, a
wing spread oxcocdlng that of many
small birds.
Tho story of tho first discovery of
this gigantic butterfly Is a curious
one, says Tho Wide World, A nntural
lst saw a specimen perched on tho top
of n tree and falling to enpturo It by
any other means finally shot It.
From tho fragments ho decided
that tho species was entirely unknown
to science and he forthwith Utted out
an expedition at ft cost of many thou
sands of dollars to go In search of
tho insects.
Two members of the party fell vic
tims to the Papuan cannibals and
another was rescued only In tho nick
of time. Spite of this inauspicious
commencement to his enterprise,
however, the naturalist persevered
and ultimately succeeded In obtain
ing perfect specimens..
A Persistent Foe.
Much hns been snld of late in favor
of the extensive cultivation of the
blnck locust, nnd one railroad com
pany is reported to have planted
nearly 1,500,000 trees of this species,'
with the view of utilizing their extra
ordinary durable wood. But Charles
A. White of tho Smithsonian Institu
tion points out, in the Popular Science
Monthly, that 'the black locust pos
sesses a mortal enemy In a longlcorn
beetle, which bores tho wood through
nnd through. It Is a native of the
samo regions In which the tree
flourishes, nnd depends upon the tree
for its own existence. When popula
tion flowed to Illinois nnd Iowa, tho
black locust was taken along. It
flourished luxuriantly for some years,
until its insect foo followed it, and now,
says Mr. White, nothing remains of
tho great groves of black locust In
tho middle West except blasted rem
nants. The tree, native east of tho
Allghenles, from New York to the
Gulf, was also transplanted to Europo,
whither Its enemy has not followed It.
Air Purification.
Purification of the air of great
cities is a subject which continually
attracts wider attention. Recently the
commissioners of works in London,
alarmed by tho establishment of fac
tories consuming thousands of tons of
coal a week, have asked Parliament
to consider the matter. They recog
nize, for the first time officially, says
the Engineer, that the getting rid of
black smoke would not suffice to cure
the trouble. Other products of com
bustion besides soot, such as sul
phurous and sulphuric acid anl solid
mineral particles, are deleterious to
vegetation, to buildings, to metal ob
jects, and to the pictures, marbles and
other treasures contained In museums.
The elimination of these impurities
from the air is an important part of
the problem.
Wedding Fee In Installments.
Some of the 'squires In rustic New
Jersey seem to bo pretty hard pushed
for cash. To get the cash they do not
hesitate to use most unusual methods.
One of these J. P.'s advertised the
other day that ho was ready and will
ing to marry couples at any time, day
or night, for a consideration of $5 and
that ho was willing to accept $1 In
cash down and the rest In weekly In
stallments of $1 until the fee of $5
was paid up. Tho very night after the
first appearanco of this advertisement
tho J. P. referred to was called upon
to "make good" his bluff. Shortly
after midnight a couplo which had
come In an automobile awakened him
from hut sleep nnd asked to be mar
ried under the Installment plan offered
In the advertisement. And the J. P.
was cam and made good.

Blind Tom.
"Blind Tom was born near tho city
of Columbus, Ga., of slave parents,
about tho year 18 1C. Ho belonged to
General James N. Bcthune, nt that
tlmo editor and proprietor of tho
"Corner Stone." Being blind, Tom
would stray nwny from homo nnd wna
often found In tho woods, roaming
around and listening to tho birds. It
was In his whistling Imltntlons of tho
hlrd-songs that his wonderful musical
ability was first revealed to his mas
ter. He could repeat perfectly any
thing that ho heard In the lino of mus
ic. As to his Idiocy, It is generally
understood that, his musical ability
aside, ho was very near being a "nat
tural," Outside of his love for music,
ho seemed to be qulto stupid, and If
not an Idiot, ho wns dangerous near
being one. Blind Tom Is still tho
standing puzzle of the psychologists.
The "Marseillaise."
It depends upon what you mean by
"great." If by great you mean tho pow
er of firing the henrt nnd rousing tho
will, then there Is no other "national
song" that comes within a thousand
miles of the "Marseillaise." "Tho
sound of It," remarks Cnrlyle, "will
make tho blood tingle In men's veins,
and whole armies and nsaorablagcs
will sing it with eyes weeping and
burning, nnd hearts defiant of death
and despots." It Is the greatest soul
nwakener ever known on this earth.
Tho famous anthem was composed In
1793, by Houget do Lisle. The scene
of Its birth was not, as Botno suppose,
Marseilles, but Strasburg. It took Its
namo from tho fact that a forco of
Marseillaise first marched to Its In
spiring strains.
The Noise of Wireless Telegraphy.
Many renders may bo surprised to
learn that tho electric sparks em
ployed In wireless telegraphy over
long distances produce a nolso that
may be annoying for those living
close by the station. At least this has
been the experience at the Eiffel Tow
er In Paris, where the sparks from an
apparatus possessing a power of 10
kilowatts have proved disagreeable to
people Beveral hundred yards away.
Slnco It is now proposed to substitute
apparatus of 40 kilowatts' power, with
tho hope of sending communications
direct from Paris to Now York, tho
generating-statlon will be placed un
derground in order to smother the
sound of tho sparks.

000 monks In 2,500 monasteries, 37,000
nuns In 1,500 convents, nnd 60,000

Alison tells how during Nnpoleon'g
Egyptian campaign no sooner were
the Mamelukes observed at a distance
than tho word wns given: "From
square; artillery to the angles; asses
nnd savans to tho center." Tho com
mand afforded no little merriment to
the soldiers even nt such nn exciting
moment, and made them call the assoa
