realized incalculable results in wider
fields. The shortened methods. of
which there is so much said, are
mostly authorizations Of teaching ef-
fort, not of simpler understanding.
The h0w, why and whcrctorc Of
technical terms and operations are as
much in demand now as ever before.
and the little spirits who 90 hungry
ana unsatisfie6 from quick and terse
demonstrations are more and more
numerous. The rock bottom word
of every proposition which appeals to
our faith is-why? And about one
in twenty of our current county
faculty can answer in every instance
the fundamental inquiry to the salts
faction of the bright little phiIos-
ophers who crowd the arena of
tuition.
The crisis is a serious Onc-tOo
serious to be trifled with.
And the people are watching the
entire crowd from the president of
the school board down to the lay
trustee who is neither chairman or
secretary. All they ask is-the prop
er effort to secure principal who
knows more about schools, methods
of training the young, etc, and who
has record of success to recommend
him-who knows more i'll this di-
rection, we repeat, than anybody now
living in Allegany county. All the
leading teachers and many of the
secondary class are immigrants from
other States and counties. We have
even drafted Il Garrett county quota
into our service. 1t will be an i'm
mense advantage to have another i'm
portation-to recoup partly our
losses under the policy Of depression
to learn us all something about
schools which we do not know, for
the JOURNAL is infallible authority
for the fact that in teaching and Of
cial circles the county is brimming
| full of educated Ignorance.

WHEN the Anarchist bomb exploded at the
Haymarket two years ago officer Timothy
Sullivan, who was in the second detachment
of policemen, fell to the pavement with his
body torn with metal from the bursting she'll
Eight pieces of zinc, lead and iron were taken
from his legs alone For two weeks he was

his comrades and fired repeatedly at the An

wounds inflicted in the fight, while twenty

Mirages of the Desert.

N. o. City Item.
The most notable spectacle
on the trip from New Orleans to
Denver is the mirage of the des-
ert, which is seen in the Pan
handle of Texas. On the recent
excursion to Denver, at about
10 a. m, as the train was speed
ing along through the staked
Plains, one of these illusions oc-
cured which deceived even the
oldest travellers of the party.
On the right, less than a mile
distant, appeared a river which
opened into a lake SO large that
it's further shore was out OF
sight. Promontories juttlng
out into the blue waters OF the
lake were plainly visible. 1t
was only the assurance of the
conductor that there was no
lake or river within a hundred
miles that convinced the pas
sengers that theaARautiful scene
was only a mirage.
The mirage was more than a
momentary spectacle. For miles
the excursionists watched and
wondered at the optical illusion.
Various opinions were expressed
as to the cause of mirages, the
most of the party arguing that
moisture or mists accounted for
the deceptive appearance.
There are, however, no togs
and practically no moisture on
the Staked Plains. The expla-
nation of the mirage of the des-
ert is that the stratum of air
next the earth became super
heated and rarified. Rays OF
light passing through the dense
strata above and striking the
rarified medium at an obtuse
angle do not penetrate, but are
reflected from it. The surface
stratum thus forms a mirror,
and the reflection Of clouds in
this has the appearance of water.
To a thirsty traveller the tan
TALKING effect of the vision must
be terrible; but as the Pullman
Palace Oars were we'll stocked
with ice water and other bever-
ages the excursionists were able
to enjoy fully the rare and beau
tiful spectacle.

Young Men, Read This.

It is very common for young
men, [ think, to determine the
quality of their work by the
price which they are paid for it.
I only get, says such a one, five
dollars u week, aud I am sure
that I am giving FIVE dollars
worth of service ; If my employ
er wants more, let him pay more;
if he wants better let him give
better wages. This Il specious
reasoning, but it is false and it
is destructive to the best work,
and therefore to the best man
hood. No man can afford to do
any thing less we'll than his
best. He who always strives to
do his best work, in the very
process of striving will grow
better and better. Not only
will he grow more skillful in
that particular workmanship,
but he will be better equipped
for other workmanship. This
is an absolutely universal law.
It is the absolutely universal
road to promotion.
The man who is careful to
give nothing more than he gets
rarely gets more than he gives.
The man who works for his own
sake, who puts the best part of
himself into eve7y blow that he
strikes, who mixes all his work
with brain and conscience, who
studies to render the largest pos
sible service regardless of the
compensation which cit brings,
sooneror later will find bis way
On and up. The world learns his
worth, and calls him to higher
service. Nor is this all. BY
stirring himself up to do always
the best he can, he grows into a
power to do better and ever
better.

The Science Of Electricity.

The last twenty yeats have
seen more advance in the science
of electricity thar all the 6OOO
historic years preceding. More
is discovered in one day now
than in a thousand years of the
prehistoric ages, SO that liter
ally, "a day is a thousand years"
We put it to all sorts of uses.
We make it carry our messages,
drive our engine, ring our door
bell and scare the burglar. We
take it as a medicine, light our
gas, see by it, hear from it, talk
with it, and now we are begin
ming to teach it to write. The
question naturally arises in con.
templating this subject VIVA
is it 2" I can imagine the last
man on the last day asking this
same question "What is it?'
At one time not long ago it was
supposed to be a fuid; by some
two fluids, a positive and a neg.
alive. But in this day they are
few who do not believe it to bi
simply a mode of motion, not
matter, but a condition of mat
ter, and not a mechanical but .
molecular motion. By mechan
ical motion is meant a motion
of the mass, and by molecula
motion is meant a motion o
ultimate particles of which tn
mass is made mp. - Scientifiy

J.. w. Braid, a we'll known
electrician Of Nashville, Tenn,
believes that lightning rods are,
to a great extent, going out of
use. He says that, because of
the lack of a thorough ground
connection. rods, as a rule, do
more damage than good, as
they attrae5 the lightning and
then are unable to convey it off
in safety. He says further:
7 think rods are very desirable
on the city telephone, telegraph
and electric wire posts +; this end
is subseryed by the ground wires
now in use. Even a rod of any
description is not at all indispen-
sable in conveying electricity to
the earth. A metal roof will
serve the purpose fully as well,
provided there be a continuity
of the metal between the root
and the ground which is pene-
trated to the moist earth. This
glass-knob business is all a hum
bug, inasmuch as it often causes
a building to be in absolute dan
ger. The less interference offer
ed to the immediate conduction
of the electricity into the ground,
the greater is the security. The
great amount of iron cresting
Ion the combs of houses is a
source of danger. The trouble
may be obviated by connecting
the cresting and the earth BY 9
strip of conducting metal. AL
that is necessary for q lightning
conductor is q copper wire, say
about the size of an electric
light wire, in good connection
with the earth.
