OF Public Instructions,
Denver, Colorado.


To County SrPERINrENoENTs:
Section 81 of the SchnoT Law of
Colorado provides for the organiza-
ton and maintenance of Teachers
Normal institutes, and for that pur-
pose the State is divided into six nor.
NAL districts.
According to the best information
that am able to obtain but one In
stitute has been held in the State in
conformity to the law.
You undoubtedly realize the inn
portant relations that snch Institutes
bear to the success of educational
work in any State.
They afford opportunities for con.
sultation, discussions, instruction and
study that can be obtained in no
other way. Colorado must not be
behind her sister State in this matter.
Already arrangements have been
made to hold Institutes in FIVE out
of the six districts, and the other will
undoubtedly be provided for at an
early day.
The success of these gatherings
will depend largely upon the efforts
put forth by the County Superin-
tendrnis and the INTEREST manifested
by teachers.
realize that distances in Colora-
do are long and travel is expensive;
hut do we not owe aome self sacrifice
to the work in which we are en-
gagged?
As an inducement to teachers to
attend these Institutes, you are in
structed to add 10 per cent. to the
standing in examination of each ap-
plicant for certificate who has at
tended full term of two weeks at
an Institute held in this State within
one year prior to such examination.
In my opinion, attendance at Nor
NAL Institutes, and at Associations
of Teachers and County Superintend-
ents ls part of your official duties
for which the usual charges may be
made.
The Institutes for 1889 will be
held during the month of August.
notice of which will be given in due
time from this Office.
I hope you will assist and enconr-
age every teacher in your county to
attend the Institute in your district.

and, in fact, frequent phenomenon.
Prof, VIM. p. Tonry. the chemist, says
the flame in such cases invariably arise
from q combustion of oxygen with some
material favorable to producing heat.
Wherever there is turpentine there is
always danger of spontaneous combus-
ton. If the substance be poured on
rags, especially when they are soaked
with grease. fire is likely to result.
Furniture establishments and all places
where oils and turpentine are kept are
especially liable to visitatiOns from fires
of inexplicable origin.
Hay, when moist and packed tightly,
ferments by natural process and alb
serbs oxygen so freely as to produce
fame in many instance. Sulphuric
acid, if allowed to come in contact with
bagging at fertilizer factories, is also q
source of great danger. The same
acid, if mixed with water, produces in
tense heat.
A common source of unexpected COM
bustion is the gas which escapes from
q jet which has been carelessly left
open. Gas and common air produce
an explosive compound which can be
touched off like gunpowder by tiny
flame.
Prof. Tonry says it is very difficult
to prevent combustion which arises
from natural combinations, although
thorough ventilation and cleanliness in
private houses and business establish
ments will go long way toward redue-
ing the danger. The phenomenon is
common to all seasons, although tenn
perature of 20 or 80 degrees, which is
high enough for fermentation, is most
favorable to it.
An accumulation of infammable ma
terials is always to be avoided. It was
once believed that human bodies, espe-
cially those of inebriates, were liable to
take fire and be consumed spontane-
ously, but the theory finds but little
acceptance in these days.-BaH::sos,

BATTLEFIELD JUNK,
Virginia Farmers Finding 1t Source of
Considerable Revenue.

Virginia Farmers Finding 1t a Source of
Considerable Revenue.
A quarter of a century has elapsed
since the war, yet many of the farmers
of Virginia are still realizing from
Yankee lead and brass quite revenue,
says an Alexandria paper. It is the
children of these farmers living near
est the great battlefelds that bring to
light most of the buried relics of the
cruel past. Their tiny fingers, some
times in play, again with the hope of
adding to the family Golfer, unearth
pounds of lead.
In strolllng through this historical
town the writer came across q veritable
old curiosity shop down by the wharf.
1t is kept by an old junk-dealer, who,
yielding to my desire for a glimpse at
the latest curiosity, brought to light
big box which had just arrived from
the country that morning. There, in
reckless confusion, were bullets. mus
ket balls, old pieces of brass, epaulets,
sword hits, buckles and buttons, au
battered and bruised, and corroded by
the earth in which they had been bur
led for SO many years. This box, the
dealer said, would weigh about $50
pounds, and was but one of many that
he was constantly receiving.
From the midst of the debris but
ton was fished out upon which was
inscribed the arms of Vermont Free
dom and Unity, showing that it had
belonged to some member of the first
militia that was mustered into service,
as the troops were afterward uniformed
by the United States. These war relics
come from the battlefelds of Manassas,
Culpeper, Fredericksburg, and the
Valley of Virginia, and are sold simply
for their value in old lead and brass.
Occasionally an invoice of shells ar
rives, which throws the downtown
inhabitants into q state of consterna-
ton. Not SO long ago quite q batch
of these wicked-looking things were
hustled out of town by command of
the Mayor.
IF the farmers were wise they would
preserve the most interesting of these
mementos, for there will no doubt
como time when even the most insig
nificant will have its value.
