LEN HARVEY BEATEN

Boxing Champion Retires

London, June 4. Len Harvey lost both his British and Empire heavyweight boxing night championship tities last. when he was forced to retire In the twelfth round of his 15-round title bout against Jack Petersen at the White City Stadium.. Neither boxer weighed in.

Nearly 100,000 saw the down- fall of the British Empire cham- pion in a fight that was very even throughout, neither holding any great advantage.

badly Harvey's left eye was damaged in the fifth round when he looked a most sorry picture.

Petersen's eye was opened in the "sixth, and from then on it was a tremendous struggle between two badly handicapped men.

The First Thermometer. The Earliest attempt at ย Thermometer, which was made for Medical purposes, was also on this principle, but it measured Temperature of the Patient rela- tive to that of the Physician, who was assumed to be in normal Health. The instrument consisted of a piece of Glass Tubing, one end of which was closed and blown into a small Bulb. while the remainder was bent into the shape of the letter U. In che bent por- tion was some coloured liquid, to act as an indicator, and the free end of the tube was open to at- mosphere.

This may be because the need has not yet arisen, and if Huxley is io be believed in his prophetic mo- ments, all this will be possible in the future. The possibility seems a trifle disconcerting at the ma- ment one must admit, and one can only hope that the discoverers of the new method will not be given to practical joking.

The higher taxes have no doubt

been imposed for the purpose of

gaining increased revenue 'but it is doubtful whether in some cases this object is achieved as the effect is to decrease imports many of which are necessary for de- velopment. It may be that there was some intention to retaliate dumping by certain countries, but owing to the operation of most favoured nation treatment other countries equally suffer "and the tariff bears very hardly on many of the goods imported from Great Britalh which are by no means dumped on the market.
