Look out for your “shins.” Albert Klungness, an ingenious resident of North township, about 8 miles southeast of here, has a novel and ingenious breaking rig which he is at present using to break new land in section 1 of Agdar township, The rig consists of a gasoline engine which Mr, Klungness mounted on some binder wheels and converted into a tractor. The engine pulls one breaking plow and is said to do good work, being able to travel in places where a heavy team or an ordinary traction engine would be mired.

SCHOONER PROBABLY LOST Nothing Heard of Vessel Known to Have Been in Cellision, Boston, July 25.—The Holland- American line freighter Sloterdyk re- turned to this port bady damaged by collision with an unknown four-mast- ed schooner off Nantucket. When they learned that nothing had been heard from the schooner some of those on the freighter expressed fear that she had gone down with all on board. Captain Metz of the Sloterdyk refused to discuss the matter. - None was hurt on the freighter. SGHOOLS DEFENDED - BY FEDERAL BUREAU Asserts Three “R's” Are Taught Better Than in Past, Washington, July 25.—Aroused by the growiug criticism of present day educational methods in the public schools the United States bureau of education came to the defense of the present system in a vigorous. state- ment. It declared that not only were the three “R’s” being taught as thor- oughly as was the case in the “little red school house,” but that they were being taught more scientifically ané with a modern view to the needs of the individual child. 2 “We frequently hear there are ‘too many subjects and too many fads and frills,’” the report says, “and hence neglect of the three ‘R’s:’ The critics who utter this sort of criticism seldom agree on exactly what the ‘fads and frille’ are, but they invariably go back to a golden past, when the so called ‘fundamentals,’ reading, writing and arithmetic, were taught in such a way as never to be forgotten. As a matter of fact the system of is immeasurably ahead of the school system of the past.” mamm—.. O g Lover! useum.

What is now known about magnets and suggestions for further investiga- Uon, was told recently in a lecture,de- livered by Prof. Silvanus P. Thompson before the British Institution of Elec: trical Engineers. The most powerful And petrmanent magnets are made from *steels containing about six per cent. of tungsten and 0.5 per cent of carbon, ' The magnet bars ‘are to be long and .narrow, and after forging at the lowest " possible temperature should be heated to 900 degrees C., kept at 750 degrees for a time, then cooled off, and for hardening ‘are to be reheated, cooled gradually to 700 degrees, and plunged into brine at 20 degrees. Maturing is effected by boil- ing ten or 12 hours. The bars are magnetized by means of electromag- nets, and when the magnetization is to remain extremely constant it is | reduced five or ten per cent. by ex-l posure to demagnetizing forces. Devoted Honey Bees. An aviarist has been engaged to evict from between the walls of the First Congregational church of Mont- clair, N. J., a colony comprising thou- sandg of Italian honey bees. It is'be- lieved that ‘there is at least a ton of honey packed away in the walls of the south end of the church. The bees were first noticed about the church several years ago. They grad- ually increased in numbers until their presence became annoying, and it is on record that more than one somno- lent attendant at the services In the church, which shelters one of the wealthiest congregations in New Jer- sey, has been roused to a proper state of attention, if not of reverence, by the sharp sting of an insect that had detached itself from the ever grow- ing colony. It is planned to use a chemical compound to exterminate the bees. Bonus Earned. People at sea bet upon all sorts of contingencies. An emigrant ship from England was recently approaching the Australian coast, and an interesting event was expected at any moment in the married people’s quarters. Consid- ‘ereble speculation and excitement was developed over the question whether the happy event would take place Wwithin or without the three-mile limit,. A great cheer went up when it was of- ficially announced that the little stranger was legally an Australian and had earned the five-pound baby bonus of the commonwealth. A minute or two earlier and the child would have been a native of Stepney, London, to which parish children born at sea belong, Five Families in Single Room. Five families living and sleeping in one room were recently discovered among the slums of Dudley, Worces- ' ter (England). According to Canon Southwell, who apparently possesses an intimate knowledge of the district, the occupants were all quite comfort- able until the arrival of “the chap in the cnter of the room.” Then the happy family circle was broken up. Pive families and a lodger in ome room {is really overstraining the economic possibilities of slumdom. Two and three families in one house are common enough to agitate ‘the public mind, even in this age of hous- ‘ng and town planning reform. Herculaneum and Pompell. Pompeii was buried in ashes or Hight scoria, while Herculaneum was entombed in lava, which, after cool- ing, hardened into a material of the consistency of marble; and we thus have the explanation of the fact that while the first city has long been un- earthed, the latter is still largely cov- ered with its ancient lava shroud. Ex- cavations are constantly going on at Herculaneum, and the work will in all probability continue to the finish, but it 18 not likely that any especially im- portant results will accrue, since the lite of the two cities was practically the same. 8peaking of Kissing— The Arabians shake hands six or eight times. Once is not enough. Should, however, they be persons of distinction, they embrace and kiss one another several times and also kiss their own hands. In Turkey the greet- ing is to place the hand upon |the breast, and bow, which is both grace- ful and appropriate. In Burmah, when & man meets a woman, he puts his nose and mouth close to her cheek and draws a long breath, as it inhal- ing a delicious perfume, but, strange to say, he does not kiss her cheek. A man is gregted in exsctly the same way.

I call spiritualism a science, for it professed to yield its results by experi. ments which could be repeated, tested and compared on the accepted laws of evidence; to attain “a world of spirit that took shape and form and practical intelligibility, In ordinary roome and under very nearly ordinary ecircum- stances.” It said: ‘“Seeing is believ- ing, handling is proof.” It did not re quire you to take the medium on trust. It had no priesthood, no dogmas; for its central statement, that the living | could have intercourse with the dead, was not a truth to be received on the word of another, but a challénge which whoso would might verify. Moreover, though some have questioned if the name of religion can rightly be at i tached to spiritualism, it does withoui ! doubt bring its adepts back from doctrines of the lectureroom or ab stract theory to that primifive condi tion of thought in which religion finds & main beginping. For religion is the problem of the “next world,” call if how you will. "And spiritualism un , dertakes to solve the problem by the scientific method, exactly as the chem ist answers our inquiry—for instance: “Does radium exist?’—by putting a sample of the thing sought into our hands. Neither the chemist nor the medium 13 a priest, any more than the class or the inquirer can be termed disciples. Experiment, in both cases; remains the ground of afirmation.— William Barry, in Atlantic, SILLY IDEA THAT DIES HARD Average Man, In Throes o'f Discon. tent, Finds Solace in the Phrase, “Pass a Law.” In the course of an interesting dis. cussion in the department called “The Tnterpreter’s House,” in the American Magazine, appears the following: “When something happens that we do not like, what is the first thing we say? ‘There ought to be a law against it’ Every time! That is the unconscious tribute we all pay to the queerest, the most naive and stupid superstition in a world where all su- perstition dies hard enough—that all you need to do to stop anything is to pass a law against it. “No amount of experience, appar- ently, will free the minds of men from the incubus, the hoodoo, of this ex- traordinary superstition. No matter what the issue! If you want to stop gambling, spitting, combinations of capital or of labor, prostitution, college fraternities, the high cost of living, arson, saloons, monopoly in restraint of trade, the turkey trot, - burglary, tips, walking on the grass—whatever i it is, there is only one thing to do— pass a law against it. Then every- body will be contented; everybody will believe that the offense will cease at once, or at least as soon as you have gotten 'a sufficient number of people in jail. Only get enough laws passed, and, above all, if you can only get enough people in jail, you have realized the average man’s mil- lennial hopes.” No Standardized Dress. It is a pleasure to stamp despite- fully on the praise of Prof. Walter Sargent of Chicago for the Chinese custom of ‘“one established- style of dress for women.” i Life might be cheaper under such a dull gray provision of costume. But | it would certainly not be worth liv- | ing. The whole trouble with costumes : today is that they are too much alike. Instead of designing a dress that is becoming to her own dimensions, pro- portions and other endowments of na- ture, the average woman accepts the fashion of the hour, whatever it may be—large sleeves, small hips, no waist or whatever the fashion gods decree. What is needed is not more stand- ardization, but more individuality in dress. A declaration of independence is the crying feminine need of the hour—not a uniform designed by any board of economists.—New York Trib- une. : —_— i Ghost of Fragrance. That is a curious story, told in the London Spectator, of the ghosts of vi- olets seen and smelt in the Protestant cemetery in Rome. A scent ghost was recently referred to in connection with the militants, a strange associa- i tion! They destroyed, in a certain Welsh town, a venerable tree under ‘which the dead body of a woman was once found, and in the dead hand was clasped a bunch of wild thyme. No- body knew the woman, and there was 16 wild thyme near. Yet, afterwards, the scent of wild thyme (a strong and unmistakable scent) was often no- ticed at that spot. Now that the tree —the setting of the tragedy—has been destroyed, will the scent stil] haunt the place? That is the question that the people of the town are asking. _— Economy in High ‘Phaces, Mr, ‘Bryan’s lunch basket habit re- minds the London Chronicle of similar Instances in English history.
