...years ago that Mr. Sperry turned his ubiquitous attention to that toy of mathematicians-;a flywheel with a hoop around it, spinning in a frame on light bearings-of which the internal equilibrium is sufficient to withstand outer forces that seek to upset its balance. In the arc-light field, it is 47 years since he won practical adoption for his first invention; 43 years since he erected a 40,000-candle-power beacon on Lake Michigan. Last week, at the Electrical and Industrial Exposition in Manhattan, Army engineers demonstrated the two-billion-candle-power searchlight he had made them...
...Detroit, one Patrick Klein (pugilist) last week argued with a bullyboy thug - who fired four shots point blank. One bullet pierced Pugilist Klein's chest, nicked the outer wall of his heart, fortunately for him, just as it was contracting in its beat.

The torch glare leaped into his eyes as he started...
...fielding department the Crimson ball tossers have accumulated an average of .915 which proves them even weaker on the defense than on the attack. Two of the outer gardeners, Jones and Ellison have handled all their chances without a misplay. Burns did not handle a single ball in the two games which he participated in before his injury and his average. In the left field berth Captain Todd is credited with one eror which came in the first game when the University leader dropped a fly back of third base after a hard...
