Scientists Perplexed.

BY the phenomenon of well begun
nearly sixty years ago at Yakutsh,
Siberia. 1t was dug down 80 feet
through solidly frozen ground and aban-
doned. Then the Russian Academy of
Sciences took up the work and dug to a
bottom of So feet to find the ground
,. still frozen as hard as a rock. 1t was
: too much ola bore to be continued, but
the Academy decided from the tempera-
lure taken at different depths of the ex-
cavation that the freezing extends to
q depth of 6I2 feet. This warrants the
official report that 1.-The pole of the
greatest cold in Siberia is in the province
Of Yakutsh," though probably the
North Pole is little bit more frigid.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1886-02-18

The bill now before the legisla-
ture granting women in cities of the
first and second class the right to
vote, seeks 80 far as educational
questions are concerned, to place
women in the cities on an equality
with their sisters in the country. In
the rural districts of this state,
women can vote at all school meet
ings, and can hold any Office pro-
vided for by our school laws. The
objection that if women be granted
the franchise, they will enter the
whirlpool of politics, run for office,
and thus neglect domestic duties, is
sufficiently met by mentioning the
fact that Shawnee county has 26l
school officers, all men; and that it
is extremely difficult to induce a
women to accept any position on
dStrict board. 1t may be urged
thasa woman will not take enough
interest in school elections to go
out to vote. But they do vote, and
in many districts are influential in
defeating short sighted measures.
1t has been noticed, too, by persons
of an observing turn of mind that
the dropping of a piece of white
paper in a box, or the voting on a
resolution, does dot change the ma
ture of women to any appreciable
extent nor does it render her less
unfit for her duties as a mother,
wife or sister. ....s

There is pretty good joke told on

win call J. he went to church the
other day, and as is usual with him
4 managed to get a seat pretty far from
the ''mourners BENCH After the
usual ceremonies, the preacher asked
rs those who want to go to Heaven,
<sssEsa ''please stand up Every one stood
up but J. He then asked, of course ex-
pecting J. to rise, ''those who want to
srszzEuto Hell, stand up;" but J. sat there
-. ~, if glued to the chair. The preacher
- ~ thought there was something in that
{. which S4esdid not understand ana con-
s Guided he would find out, and coming
e back ,shere.J Sal, asked:

The Kansas county high school
law, recently enacted, provides for
the erection and maintenance of a
public high school in each county,
if ga majority of all the votes cast"
by the electors in said county shall
be in favor of establishing such high
school,"
This very important and valua-
BILE contribution to the school legis-
lation of Kansas. 1t puts it in the
power of every county to have
within its borders first class edu-
cation superior to those of most
of the colleges of half a century ago.
