From the St. Louis, Mo., Chronicle. As September 26, the date set for the $5,000 battle between Dan Creedon and Bob Fitzsimmons, growa nearer its uncer- tainty grows greater and the interest of the sporting jworld increases. VVhtle Fitzaimmons wall no doubt be a. hot favor- ite in the betting, yet the truth of the matter-is, that. but very few have got, a. true line on Creedon. While the wise men of the ring who have come in touch with him, are saying but; little out loud, it is a well- known fact, that, Fitzsimmons’ followers are finding in a quiet way all the Creedon money they Wang. "{‘Though my task was not a severe one fro m ascientific point of view, the work was h .1 and monotonous and the perspiration st enmed from my pores as I soampered frclm the stage into my cold,damp dressing- toxin}.

But then, [Creedon has improved almost beyond belief Since he came to this coun- try.

They Ilst “one Mon Work fur Amine- menl 'l‘lmn Most Scholars Do During a uretlmm One would think that if any class of men had their mehtal powers so fully occupied by their necessary affairs as to be preclud- ed from other intellectual effort it was the statesmen who have not only to fulfil the old duties of monarch, and that over by far the greatest and most complicated vm« pire the world ever saw, but who havn also to manage political parties andcarry the ma- jority ofthe nation with them in all they do. Yet the premiers of the British empire have done more great brain work for amusement than most great scholars do of the staple work of their lives. Lord Derby translated Homer while premier, Mr Gladstone did that and a hundred other things. Lord Beaconsfield was a. novelist of high grade. Lord Salisbury, the leader of the Conserva- tive party, and England's alternative pre- mier, is a great scientist. He is a worker 11 the field of chemistry, his laboratory. one of the best private ones in the world, being the scene of the recreation in which he takes most delight. He is this year the president of the British Science Association, and delivered his inaugural address at the last meeting. It is said to be one of the most interesting and by far the wittiest ever delivered before the association. Lord Salisbury was one of the foremost writers for the ‘Satnrday Review’ when that paper was noted for the keen. ness of its satire and its literary brilliance. He was then a poor man, who gained his living by his pen. His wit has never grown musty and his satire is as biting as ever. There is no mistaking his meaning, and therefore his address, though it deals with scientific subjects. is easily comprehended by ordinary readers. Its purpose is to show how the greatest enigmas in nature are still unsolved by science and how little promise there is that science ever will solve them. It seems that most of these enigmasJike that of the great central mystery of life, the action of life upon ordinary matter, is, after all, outside of the sphere of science. Perhaps the most interesting conclusion reached by the Mar~ quis of Salisbury in his address is that science itself is almost convinced that A United Slates Government Official Tells of its Horrors. Special Agent H. B. Martin, of the United States land oflice, Woshington, has returned from Death Valley after {our and a half months’ absence. He went to do some surveying and for information regard. ing claims of private citizens of a portion of the country. Mr. Martin and his party ex- amined the country for sixty or seventy miles to the south of Tule Canon. The sandstorms prevailed almost daily and the heat was intense. Part of the time they could not get water and they had to bring ita distance on pack horses. “Our main stock of meat was bacon,” said Agent Mar- tin. “\Ve could not get a. particle that was fresh, so we ate the big lizards of the desert, which the Digger Indians eat and are known as chawallahs, and they tasted a good deal like frogs. All our potatoes rotted as soon as we got in the desert and we had no vegetables of any kind. The only thing that helped us out was canned fruit. The ordeal was so severe that each man lost some fifteen or twenty pounds of weight and all grew weak. Before I would go into it again I think I would resign. It was a trip to try the nerves.
