The Fisheries Of Lake Superior.

The fisheries of Lake Superior

able of our resources. They would
be worthy of note simply as furnish
ing subsistence 10 the small settle

mercial importance and are certain
to become a source OF wealth.

adjacent buildings belonging to the

Mr. Dunlap was postmaster, and

Mr.. Dunlap had large stock of

ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD FROM.
lHessrs. Editors:
/ notice in an article in Your pa
per, a comparison OF the wages of
teachers in this country with the
Average Of those throughout the
State. A large number of the male.
teachers are boys, employed in
country sch .ols for term of from
three to five months. Many are ex-
perimenling; others take this means
OF getting few dollars to set them
selves up in other business. There
is another class who graduated from
some district school twenty or thir-
ty years ago, and can barely obtain
"a third grade certiti ,-a,e, who own
aud work firms, and hire III their
own district for less than any one
eise, lhat they may get little mon
ey, and at the same time care for
their stock. The competition for
such backward, "easy" schools.
brings the wages down to low
figure, from $50 to $50 per month,
while principals Of village schools
of two or more departments get
from $780, to 1920, for nine or ten
months. In larger towns and cities
principals receive from $1,000 to
$500.
With which ia it best to compare
our male teachers here, (who receive
$1,000 forten months, the principals
OF graded schools only, or with the
inexperienced youths who have no
idea OF making teaching a profes
sion and feel little or no response

They are hard at work in England to trans.
form the Western half Of the great African
desert of Sahara into an inland sea. 1t is
that portion of II called by geographers Ell
Juff, extending from the southeastern spurs
of the Atlas Mountains to Tlmbuctoo, and
covering an area of 100000 square miles
about seven times the size OF the State of New
York. All that is required is the deepening
Of the channel of the river Bella, which will
furnish a canal from the mouth to the desert,
and let in the waters of the Atlantic upon the
ARID waste to depth of from 500 to 700 feet.
But there is slight objection to the plan.
The mild climate of Southern Europe is
caused by the hot and dry winds that come
from Africa over the heated sandy plains of
Sahara. If the latter were turned into lake,
the winds would be cool and moist, chang
ing the temperature of Spain and Italy, and
making all Europe possibly as irlgid as Ice
land and Spitzbergen. What then?

rounding ocean Of gas on fire, $4,000 miles
deep, tongues of flame darling upward more
than $4,000 miles, volcanic forces that hurl
into the solar atmoshere luminous matter to
the height Of 10000 miles; drawing to itself
all the worlds belonging to our family OF
planets, and holding them all IN their proper
places; attracting with such superior force
the millions OF solid and stray masses that
are wandering in the tathomless abyss that
rush helpessly toward him, and fall INTO his
frey embrace And thus he continues his
sublime restless march through his mighty
orbit, having period of more than $4,000,

The BIBLE IN SCuOoLs-Prof. David
Swing, of Chicago, gives this opinion on the
use of the Bible in the public schools: THE
government has no more right to teach the
Bible than it has to teach the Koran. My
idea is that the government did, in It's earlier
life, run according to Christian sort of com.
mon law, but now the Jews, Catholics, etc,
have increased so greatly, that the govern
mrnt has to base itself squarely upon Its con-
situtional idea, that all men are equal. Even
if the genus of the country permitted the
teaching of the Bible in the public schools,
| should doubt the propriety of continuing
the custom, because no valuable moral re-
suits can come from reading few verses hur
riedly in the school room, and social strlfes
will be continually springing up out Of the
practice" Swing is about right.
