BADGERS TAKE FIRST
WIN BIG EVENT AT DRAKE RELAY
GAMES SATURDAY.
NEBRASKA DOES NOT PLACE
Husker Represented in Half and Mile
Events, Which Are Taken by Chi
cago and Missouri Record
Time at FourMile and
Half Mile Distances.
Des Moines, la., April li. i"he Uni
versity of Wisconsin won the four
mile relay, the big event of the an
nual Drake games, in a spectacular
finish in which Hariey of Wisconsin
spurted ahead of Carroll of Michigan
in the last one hundred yards. Neither
Neither the Husker half-mile or mile
teams, Nebraska's representatives at
the game, finished within the money,
although they made strong bids for
places, especially at the half-mile dis
tance. In this event, Zumwinkle, who
ran the last lap for the Huskers, nar
rowly missed placing after a magnifi
cent race in which he overcame a
large lead held by Chicago, Ames,
Drake and Missouri.
The four-mile race was featured by
record time, all six teams finishing
under the former record of 18:36 2-5,
made by Northwestern in 1912. Wis
consin's time today was 18:04 2-5,
which will probably stand for several
years to come. Another stadium rec
ord was broken when Chicago, in the
half-mile clipped a second off the rec
ord which she established a year ago
of 1:31. The Maroon school was
robbed of another record to her credit
when she was disqualified in the one
mile, the race going to Missouri in an
other new record time of 3:23 1-5. The
remaining event of the university di
vision, the two mile event, was taken
by Purdue.

INCREASES HEAT OF COAL
Sound Reasons Why the Addition or
a Little Water Should Produce.
Good Results.
When the blacksmith desires the In
tensest heat his forge is capable of he
Invariably throws a little water upon
the coal. The same course Is pur
sued by the stoker who would get the
utmost from his boilers.
And the poorer the quality of the
coal tbe-more Imperative the neces
sity for wetting It.
It seems paradoxical, for from the
beginning all people everywhere have
regarded water as the one reliable
agency for extinguishing fire. Suchi
Indeed, it really is, If used in proper
quantity, as experience has amply
demonstrated.
Chemistry explains the paradox very
simply, however, when It Informs us
that water Is composed of oxygen and
hydrogen In the proportion of two to
one. That Is to say, in every molecule
of the fluid there are two atoms of the
former and one of the latter.
Now oxygen Is the chief agent In
combustion. Oxydlzatlon Is a syno
nym for burning. The rusting of Iron,
the corrosion of silver and the burn
ing of wood are identical processes,
all due to the agency of this powerful
element which Is so widely distributed
through all nature. To feed oxygen
to flames is greatly to intensify them,
therefore. This Is exactly what is
done, In fact, when they are fanned.
Hydrogen, on the other hand, is a
gas which burns readily and with the
most Intense heat.
Very evidently, if water is separat
ed into Its constituent elements, the
oxygen and the hydrogen, no longer
bound together, are'able each to per
form its natural functions. The for
mer adds greatly to combustion, and
the latter not only burns readily, but
materially Intensifies the heat.
This is precisely what occurs when
a small quantity -of water is added to
the coal fed to the flames. There is
not enough of the fluid to extinguish
the fire. Instead the fire acts upon the
water, dissolving the bonds . which
unite its component gases, thus set
ting the fnygen free to accelerate
combustion and converting the hydro
gen into fuel of tremendous beatlnj
power.
In throwing a little water upon the
coal therefore, the blacksmith attains
the Bame results as If he added mate
rially to the draft produced by the
bellows, and at the same time poured
a little hydrogen upon the flames.
The resultant ''heat is not to be pro
duced from coal alone under ordinary
conditions.
Icebergs and Sea Water.
That the temperature of sea water
rises slightly near an Iceberg, as one
man of science has asserted, is a con
clusion not borne out by the investiga
tions of the bureau of standards. Dur
ing the summer patrol of the United
States steamships Chester and Bir
mingham in the North Atlantic, mem
bers of the staff of the bureau took au
tomatic records of the temperature of
the water. The records show that
changes of temperature in the sea far
from icebergs are at least as great
and sudden as the changes near them,
and that Ihey do not point to the
nresence of icebergs." The? find also
that an iceberg more often lowers than
raises the temperature of the water
near it. These conclusions are iden
tical with those arrived at by the ob
servers on the Scotia, which was sent
nut to the Newfoundland banks by the
British Board of Trade in the summer
of 1913, except that they more often
observed small rises of temperature In
the neighborhood of icebergs. Youth's
Companion.
Hoarseness.
As soon as you have any Indica
tion of hoarseness take a large freBh
lemon and bake It until it is soft,
squeeze out the juice and sweeten.
Take a teaspoonful every 15 minutes
until relieved.
Leave Boots In Trench Mud.
A private of the WelBh Fusiliers,
who is among the wounded who
reached Cardiff recently, said:
"1 have seen men In the trenches
pulling at their boots for over twenty
minutes In an effort to ret out of the
mud, and finally going without their
boots, which are doubtless there now.
