MYFELLoW TEACHERS OF COBB COUNTY

| hope these few sentences will
reach every one of you who are en-
gagged, or expect to engage in teach
ing the youths of our county. We
as teachers, are too very careless
about our methods and customs of
teaching and we can improve them
only, by diligent study, exchanging
ideas, and teaching each other con-
corning them. Now this can be
done through nothing more effect>
ually than through the teachers
Institute" for from it we receive
advanced ideas on Education and
Training, which enables us to be
more efficient in the school room,
and without which ideas no progress,
sive teacher can afford to be.
Let us then awake to the impor-
lance of institute work, enlist ali
our energies, and attend the week
ly Institute, which meets at the
Male Academy ineMarietta on each
first Saturday, and be the better
prepared to appreciate and profit by
the Summer Institute, which will
meet at Marietta during the month
OF June next. Our county school
commissioner is anxious about this
matter and not only urges but ex-
poets attendance upon the Institute
meetings. Our profession is fast
coming to the front and let us not
allow the banner county to be in
the rear in this manner.
Respectfully,
TEACHER.

Origin of The Camera,

The camera was invented by an
Italian named Baptista Porta, though
it was not at first used for photograph
ing. 1t was in reality O dark room,
into which the light was admitted
through little round hole in one side.
The rays of light coming from objects
outside of this room entered it through
this aperture, and made a picture on
the other side of the room, glowing in
all the beauty and color of nature it
self, but rather indistinct and upside
down.
This dark room was contrived by
Porta about the middle of the 10Th
century. He improved it, later, by
placing a glass lens in the aperture,
aud outside q mirror which received
the rays of light and reflected them
through the lens, so that the image
upon the opposite wall within was
made much more brighter, more dis
tinct, and in a natural or erect position.
This was really the first camera
obscurs, an invention which is enjoyed
to the present day, being situated often
upon hilltop, where q picturesque
country surrounding may be reflected
through lens, which is placed in the
center of the conical roof.
Now, our modern Photographic cam
era is merely a small camera-obscura
In its simplest form, carrying O lens at
one end and a ground-glass screen at

cially to strangers. In the beginning of
the under-river section the three gangs,
each OF twenty-five men, worked under
an extra atmospheric pressure Of ten
pounds to the square inch. This was in
creased slowly and at intervals, to TWEEN
ty-two pounds per square inch, or about
two and one-half times the usual atmos-
pherlc pressure. (The proposed limit in
the Chicago Fourteenth street tunnel is
forty pounds per square inch.) Quick
sands on the Canadian side caused the
highest air-pressures to be exerted upon
that side. The compression of the air
kept the quicksand and water from over
flowing into the tunnel. Leaks were in
visible. The viewless walls kept back

A Child's Sense OF Justice.

Nothing seems to burn into the mem
Dry and heart of child as an unde-
served punishment, however trihing
the matter may seem to the adult in
flicter. In some children of the sunny,
hopeful type the wave of indignation
and helpless, unspoken protest against
unjust correction passes away and
leaves apparently no trace. To other
children, with more sensitive natures
or more rebellious dispositions, unjust
words of reproof kindle fires of rage,
which smolder with sullen persistence
under the ashes of seeming forgetful-
ness, ready to burst out violently and
Unexpectedly. If this seems an over
drawn picture, one has only to think
backward to ones own childish days
and to recall the time when careless
treatment by an elder first taught us
to be bitter, unforgiving. resentful.
A childs sense of justice is as keen
as his heart is tender, and this is one
of the qualities most necessary to a
noble character; a quality that must
be blended with truth and honor and
self-sacrifice to give the right balance
to dispositions which would otherwise
work harm. A child's Justice is al
ways tempered with mercy to those he
loves, and when in the home he is just
ly aud tenderly dealt with, he learns
little by little that higher sense of
Justice toward all with whom he comes
In contact. When his own small rights
are carelessly and continually thrust
aside, he, too. learns to play the brig
and, to invent devices 10 achieve the
might which he has learned makes

of the water to the top Of the tunnel is
57S3 feet; and the number of feet from
the level OF the water to the rock, SO feet.
Considerable difficulty was met in
selecting locomotives for the tunnel SER
vice, as most kinds emitted too much
smoke and gas. Coke engines have been
chosen. Each locomotive can haul two
dozen loaded cars. One engine will be
at each side of the ST. Clair River, and
another will be kept in steam ready for
any break down.
The tunnel soil has been dumped in
the two switching yards until a level
place has been graded off large enough
for twenty-five miles of side-tracks On
the Canadian side a huge ice-house has
been built for meat cars 1t is $40 feet
long, 30 feet high, and the same wide.
IL is partitloned into twenty-seven bins,
each twenty-eight feet square, and has a
track on each side.
Although the tunnel itself was COM
pleted in January, 1891, with perhaps
the exception of little plasterlng, the
delay on the approaches prevents OPEN
ing for traffic. There will be a grand
celebration of this important interna-
tIonal occurrence. The leading officials
of the Governments of Canada and the
United States will be invited, besides
many other distinguished people. 1t is
expected that the banquet will occur un.
der the river.
IL is probable that the Detroit River
will soon BIO tunnelcd by the Michigan
Central Railway at Detroit, and before
long the Grand Trunk will put in an
other tunnel at Port Huron. Consider
ing cost and subsequent expense tunnels
NAV yet prove to DO cheaper than
bridges

The annexed engraving, taken from
a Vienna paper, illustrates fountain
consisting principally Of two equal
sized basins, each containing a spra =
ing nozzle and an outlet pipe, tn.
spraying nozzles being connected by
two rubber pipes with the outlet pipes,
as plainly shown in the sectional
view.
The basins are supported on suitable
holders connected with each other by
parallel levers fulcrumed on the flower
stand. A weight is adapted to be hung
on the lower end of the holder con-
tanning the empty basin to counter
balance and to hold the full basin in
an uppermost position. The water
flows from the filled upper basin
through the outlet pipe to the spray
ing nozzle of the lower basin, and is
projected quite distance up into the
air. to fall back and gradually fill the
lower basin.
When this is accomplished, the up
per basin has run empty and the
