terday came the indicated storm and

'drenching downpour of rain. Many
were frightened by the severity of the
elemental disturbance but no serious
damage if reported. Phe VanDusen
house on southside and d. Halderman's
on West Fifth were struck by light
ming but fortunately only splintered
chimneys and window castings. More
rain followed today and the streets
have been thoroughly flooded.

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
TAKES IMPORTANT ACTION.
A Number of Teachers Elected for
the Coming Year-Some Excellent
Statistics on School Work No
Superintendent Elected.

The board of education held its reg.
ular session last evening and trans

interest to the city and district. There
was a unanimity on all subjects except
that of superintendent. Five ballots
were taken on this and all were alike:
Moulton 5, McClain 5. The board has
now reached the 18th ballot.
President Malott appointed Messrs.
Close, Lightner and Lands as a CON-
mittee on building and grounds. He
also named p. J. Stoddard as chair
man of the committee on ways and
means. He has not yet named the re-
naming members of the committee.
The examining board for the fol-
lowing year was chosen as follows;
the superintendent, &c o6iciO, G. II.
Pattison, S. S. Smith. This is the
first time in years, if not in the city's
history, that the county ,superinten-
dent has not also been on the commit
tee, but the board could not swallow
the present incumbent.
The committee on schools recon-
mended the reelection of the follow
ing teachers at the salaries famed,
they being the only ones who were ap-
plicants: Anna Miller, S75; Florence

port was adopted and the teachers
named were thus paid the compliment
of endorsement.

able report on the schools work for the
year. The cases of hardness have
decreased from ], O3S in.1SS9-9O to 352
in 1S9O-91 while the per cent of atten-
dance has increased from 90.6 to 92.9,
magnificent showing for attendance.
The halliday absences have also fallen
off in number about l 900 from previous
years. The schools with two EXCEPTIONS
are all up to grade on the new course
Of study. He recommended that each
teacher be compelled to take at least
one educational paper and read two
standard works on teaching each year.
He also recommended that all grade
teachers who do satisfactory work be
reelected before June LIST as it is an
Injustice to keep them in suspense
during part of the vacation, He COM
plimented the teachers for their work
and adds, "The discipline of the
various buildings is equal believe to
any found in schools of the size. 1
wish to especially commend the work
done by Principals Niesley and Hum
bergar. they are worthy of all praise"

year has been: Boys 364.46; girls
1854; total 1925. The per cent. Of

AnimalD That Used to Live Ages Ago.
Of the dinotherium no complete
skeleton has been discovered, but it
was doubtless the biggest land mann
NAL that ever lived. A full grown
skull of this earliest Of proboscidians,
which had long tusks as well as q
trunk, measures five feet from tho
point Of the lower teeth to the top OF
the head. The brontops, of elephan-
tine size, had o head like q rhinoceros,
with hdgo horns. Quite as remarkable
was the siyatherium, a beast like an
antelope, but big as an elephant, with
two conical horns on the front Of its
head and two immense spreading ones
behind.
Among birds were waders ten feet in
height, such as the dinornis and castor
mis-. Contemporary with them were
the mammoth and the mastodon, TIN
woolly rhinoceros, armadillos nine fee

A soulptor,s Late Start in Life.

Hiram Powers was the eighth of nine
children, and he was q very small boy
when his father died, and he had to
90 to work for the family. He had
been born in Vermont, but his parents
had moved out to Ohio in that way
poor people have of roaming hither and
yon after better luck.
1t was in Ohio that the father died,
and in Ohio that Hiram fought his
youthful battle. For seven years he
had charge of the wax figures In Gin
cinnati museum, and it was while there
that he felt an impulse toward his fu
ture art, and tried his prentice hand at
modelling in clay.
But it was not until he was thirty
years old that he was at liberty t.
strike out for himself, and he wa
thirty-two before he had money enough
to go to Italy. Yet he was to be tn

Did Not Want to Tell ALL


It was an evening school in Proyi-
dence, R. /. There was a class Of rest
less, dirty newsboys and bootblacks on
the front seat trying to see how little
they could study and how much they
could annoy the teacher. Finally the
teacher called up the class and put
them through the catechism of the
United States history.
"Who discovered American
Nobody seemed to know and the
teacher, long suffering student from
the university, lost his patience, Shut
ting the book with bang, he dismissed
the class with these sarcastic remarks
"Well, when one of you boys gets to
the point where he needs to have some
one vote for him as governor or presi-
dent, he will be ashamed to think he
doesn't know who discovered Amer
ica."
One of the wickedest looking of the
boys raised his grimy paw.
"Well, Tom, what is it 7"
II know who discovered America"
"Why didn't you tell, then7" asked
the teacher sharply.
"Cos | didn't want to tell all

Clever Diamond Smuggling.

Talking about smuggling reminds me
OF trick saw resorted to by passen-
ger on one of the big steamers couple
of years ago." said q loquacious com
mercial traveller. "You know there is
n duty on diamonds, and one OF the
passengers had three large stones,
worth several thousand dollars, which
he had purchased in London. The
problem of how to evade paying the
duty on tho stones worried him consid-
erably, but at last he evolved plan,
and few days before the steamer ar
rived in Naw York he proceeded to exc
cute it.
'gThe chief officer had little Skye
terrier, and the passenger after consid-
cradle coaxing induced him to sell the
dog. As soon as the smuggler gained
possession Of the animal he tied him up
and gave him nothing to eat until just
before we were to go ashore. He then
procured some fat meat from the cook,
and cutting off a piece q little larger
than q walnut made hole in 1t into
which he placed one Of the diamonds
"a dog will generally bolt a piece OF
fat without chewing it, and of course q
diamond will go down with it. The
hungry dog swallowed the meat, as his
owner expected he would, and in O
short time the three diamonds were
safely slowed away in his interior. The
diamond smuggler had no difficulty il
evading the vigilance of the custom
house officials, and was soon on his wa!
up town leading the dog by q string.
II met him again few days after
ward and asked him how he recovered
, the stones. Easily enough, he re

Musical Fish Of CevIon.

Every bay and inlet on the coast Of
Ceylon abounds with musical fish
Their song, II it can be called song, is
not one sustained note like q birds, but
a multitude Of tiny, soft, sweet sounds,
each clear and distinct in itself, some
thing like the vibrations Of wine glass
when it's rim is rubbed with the mois-
tened finger In the harbor at Bombay,
India, there is fish with q song like
the sound produced by an Holian harp.
