THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
suppres.ing News for Political Effect

Suppressing News for Political Effect.
The New York Recorder states that
Chairman IIarrity of the Democratic ma
tional committee and Josiah Quincy have
endeavored to suppress the news of a valu-
able discovery of tin ore in New Mexico.
The discovery, it is said, was made by
Prof y. O. Bibikow, Russian chemist.
The documents proving the discovery were
borrowed by the Democratic national com
mittee until after the election, and Prof,
Bibikow was to receive several thousand
dollars as a consideration for the loan.
The documents were, however, returned to
Prof. Bibikow's attorney on demand OF
the latter when he learned that they were
to be suppressed for campaign purposes.

mediate Adoption of this system.
Edtor Of Tbc PhpHjr:
Is it not time to take the next step for
ward in our school system and make free
textbooks compulsory? 1t seems to me
that the argument is entirely on that side,
or so nearly so that it leaves the present
system with no good reason for longer eN-
istence.
First, the present system is unjust. The
law says that all children of school age
must attend school a certain portion of
each year. The fact that this law is, to a
large extent, a dead letter. has no bearing
upon the question if the compulsory law
is right and Just To compel the attend
ance of many pupils, and also to compel
the parents to furnish all needed books, is
to impose a grevous burden upon many.
1t is often a tax upon the poor to clothe
their children suitably for school, and to
/ give their time after they are Of an age to
| work TO impose an additional burden of
/ several dollars year for each child is clear
| ~ an injustice.
Secondly, the present system is eXtrava-
gantly expensive. Free textbooks would
mean saving of thousands of dollars in
] the state every year. GOV. Fuller in his
message puts the figures at 100000 for
/ the state. Last year Rockingham furnished
books at a cost of - cents per pupil. For
the five years ending i'm lSS6 Hartford
furnished books at a cost of Sl.63 per pu-
pil. OF 334 cents per year. Again, when
removals occur from one district to anoth-
err the old books often become worthless
and an entirely new supply must be pur-

MAJESTIC PALMS IN INDIA.
Trees "a Hundred Feet High-Many Uses
for the Leaves.

The TALBOT or great fan palm, grows
for about thirty years, and reaches a
height of more than one hundred feet.
Then, for the first and only time it
blossoms. What looks like a single
huge bud four feet in height j deyel-
opei. and finally bursts into "A pyra-
mid If snow plumes composed Of
uumlerless small cream-colored flow
crs. The cluster is sometimes twenty
five feet high, and at its base has a
diameter Of forty feet. As Miss Cum
mings says in her Two Happy Years
in Ceylon, 1T is a glorious object, and
is visible from an immense distance.
as it often grows among flat surround
iugs, such as rice fields"
The natives turn the leaves TO q thou-
sand uses, domestic and literary. When
on journey and especially If they are
on pilgrimage to some sacred shrine,
each OF them carries a portion of one
of these great leaves tightly folded in
10 long, narrow form like a gigantic
closed fan. Thi, serves as a sunshade
or rain cloak by day, and at night sew
eral friends contribute every man his
palm leaf three or four of them, with
the pointed end upward forming q
very fair bell shaped tent. And very
picturesque a few groups of these
tents look when pitched in some forest
glade around blazing camp fires.
Formerly the exact grade of every
great noble was shown by the number
of such sunshades which he was en-
titled to have carried before him, and
on stale occasions leaf, inlaid with
pieces Of glttering tale and folded like
a huge fan formed the ceremonial
canopy which was held above his head
by one or more attendants.
The leaves attain their largest size
when the tree is about twenty years Of
age, at which .noy sometimes measure
twenty-five feet from the base of the
leaf stock to the outer edge of the fan.

Nothing New in China.

The locomotive engine was known,
it is said in China at the beginning Of
the eighteenth century. The follow
inc extract is sent to Engineering by a
correspondent, who says it is taken
from description OF China, published
at The Hague in 1896: The pneuma-
tic engines no less excited the En-
peror's curiosity. A four-wheeled
vehicle two feet long, was made of
light wood. In the middle was placed
brass vessel full of charcoal, and
above it an eolipyle, the wind issuing
from channel impinged upon a small
wheel with wings or sails like those of
a windmill The small wheel turned
another wheel on an axle, and by their
means made the wagon progress dur
inc two whole hours For fear that the
space of ground might be insufficient
the wagon was made to run in circle.
The principle of movement was also
applied to a small ship carried by four
wheels; the eolipyle being concealed in
the middle; the wind issuing by two
small channels swelled the sails and
made the vessel run round in circle
for a long while, One only heard a
noise like that Of the wind, or that
which water makes rouad ship.
These toys were made at Pekin during
the reign Of Kang-hi, at the beginning
of the eighteenth century" Editorial
inadvertence, il is clear, led to the
EngiaecrtRg's printing this communities
ton without pointing out that in the
second Toy the principle Of propulsion
as described would have sent the vessel

KANSAS WHEAT CROP.

bright Prospects said Not to Have Been
Affected by the Cold Weather.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 21--The
present period of cold weather follow
ing so suddenly upon several warm,
spring-lil1e days has naturally caused
some anxiety among business men Of
Kansas City regarding the prospects
for the Kansas wheat crop The acre
age of the state is fully equal to last
year. that is to say, it exceeds s, 500, 900
ncres, and because of an exceptionally
favorable winter n poor field pros
pect has developed into a mo st prom
Using outlook for a crop. The best
judges in the state did not hesitate to
predict previous to the present cold
spell that Kansas won d raise as big q
wheat crop in 1892 as she raised in 1891,
The information received indicates
that these bright prospects have not
been affected by the cold weather. A
few grain men 10 Kansas report proba-
BILE damage, but the great majority are
OF the opinion that the wheat has not
been hurt There is a note CT danger,
however, in some OF the reports.
