Chinese Inventions.

We hear great deal of the invent
i've faculty Of the Chinaman, but we
venture to assert that his ingenuity
has never been placed to more orig
inal account than in his inventions
relating to the doings of European
scientists. There is an illustrated
Chinese journal, published at Shang-
hal, in which appear, from time to
time, popular articles on the science
of Europe.
To show the kind of ideas they are
spreading on the subject among the
Chinese, we shall give one or two eX-
amples In one number we have an
illustration of the suicide Of Paris
ian aeronaut by means of a balloon.
He is seated on chair with his back
to the window, through the open
easements of which the balloon is
partly seen with it's bottom attached
to his head, which he is in the act of
cutting off with mOnstrous curved
knife. The balloon thus freed is I'M
derstood to transport the head to a
distance of 200 "lys" "a significant
term, where it is afterWard found on
a tree. In the meantime the body
falls into the room, and thus closes
the easements by two cords attached
to it's feet. Some writing held in one
hand informs the police that death
was self-inhicted.
Another suicide is repored to be-
Queath his corpse to feed the wild
animals of a menagerie, and the Chi
nese writer goes on to say that for
Europeans there is nothing contrary
to Nature in doing So but that it
would have been better if they had
given themselves to a chemist who
would have extracted their best prod
ucts, and utilized them in making
soap or grease. European science
has in fact arrived, he says, cat as
tonishing results; it wastes nothing:
there is nothing which it does not
utilize. An English chemist has
found way of extracting soap from
the human body" Then follow two
realistic pictures representing the
English mandatory where this
process is carried out, showing the
workmen attending to the boiling
watts and supplying the perfumes, the
raw material" lying in piles, and a
number of young women close beside
them engaged in packing the bars of
soap.-Science Siftings.

Much of the molding done in sand is
lacking in character and purpose; is
less real and illustrative than the play
in mud. We occasionally find first

Mail carriers in Morocco are said to

THAT Hard SCHOOL,"

Miss Grey was asked to take the
school, but they told her that it had
driven out four teachers in succession
She was not large, not muscular, just an
Ordinary-lOohing little woman with ex-
traordinary will power. She was advised
to whip those pesky boys the first
chance" she got Everybody was ready
with advice. 1t was really kind of them,
she thought, and she told them so. They
talked, and she listened. They went
away just little bit perplexed. They
had told her what they should do, but
she had not told them what she would
do. Itpiques us to be treated courteously,
not conlidentially, by people to whom
we condescend to give advice. She
looked like person who would be glad
Of advice, but when you grew better
acquainted with her she really had q
provoking, thoughtful, strange way of
weighing your words and looking very
much as if she were weighing you, too.
Well, school began. Thepupils looked
for such Il teacher as they were used to;
instead they found Miss Grey. She
rang the bell, read the Bible, and ordered
them all about in masterful way
which was a quiet way-a determined
way-a watchful way-a thorough way.
She specified how she wanted the pupils
to sit and insisted on their sitting just
that way; and withal she was SO lady
like and polite to them that they just let
her have her way. Day after day,
steadily, the school grew into order,
and outside of school the pupils had no
nicknames for Miss Grey. She was
simply Miss Grey. The school had
found its MISTRESS

What Is Good Order?

The teacher is sometimes so anxious
for a quiet school that he cherries the
intellect in order to paralyze the mus
cles, to the end that quiet may reign.
He forgets that good order is only a
means to an end; that it is in no sense
an end; that it is at the best an unfortu-
nate necessity, an unnatural condition
that keeps coltish children physically
inactive tor five hours day The end
is mental feeding and intellectual exer-
cising for growth and development in
this direction, and experience teaches
that the greatest amount of the best re-
suits are economically attained by feed
ing and exercising several minds at
once: and such is the freakishness of
children in the mass that they can
only be treated skillfully when they
are in such physical subsection as to
s.be loyal to the commands of superior.
sNhoever has the tact to secure the high
est intellectual activity of the right kind,
without giving special attention to the
Stiffness of the school, has attained
high art in school management. The
old-faShioned committeeman, who went
the rounds of the school once term to
see how the children sat, and wrote a
report once a year to tell the taxpayers
that Miss z of district No. did not
keep as good order as Miss A of No. l.,
whose children did not move foot,
slate. or book with the slightest noise,
has found his occupation gone. Good
order is now estimated by good work,
not by stiffness; by intellectual activity
rather than by physical inactivity; by
life rather than death.

ton of Atmospheric Pressure.
We poor human beings would in
fallibly be crushed by atmospheric
pressure if our bodies did not contain
elastic fluids of the same volume Of
pressure, which establish an equilib-
rum. If we destroy this internal
pressure by creating a vacuum in a
recipient we can demonstrate the eff
fects of atmospheric pressure.
This can be shown in a very simple
way by cutting a common radish in

lift up the radish by the tail and the

were pasted together. This is known
as the hercules radish trick"

and physical conditions promote the
comfort of body and mind. Early in
the eighteenth century Bulwer wrote:
Wherever you see flower in a cottage
garden, or a birdcage at the cottage
easement, you may feel sure that the
inmates are better and wiser than their
neighbOrs The observation has lost
none of it's force. Our environments
singuiarly shape and control, within
certain limits, our thoughts and feel
ings, and not unfrequently our purposes
and actions. We despise shabby and
neglected surroundings, be they walls,
floors, furniture or premises, and storm
and rush through them without feel
ing one impulse of restraint or
respect Their language is in a
strange tongue, and CRATES upon
the nerves Of sense. They seem to
have nothing in common with the cur
rent Of living events, but to belong to
things that are useless and have lost
their affinity with life. But we have a
keen sense Of the cheerful. At once we
are in touch w4oh the noblest impulses
Of nature when brought in contact with
conditions that appeal to taste and re-
finement. Childhood moves along the
same plane. Give the children plenty
to enjoy through the senses. Let them
freely commune with objects in their
surroundings that are suggestive of
beauty and neatness. Encourage them
to take an interest in flowers, plants,
pictures and care of property. Have
plants on every window, neat pictures
on the walls, scrupulously clean furni-
ture and floors, plenty of sweet cheer
full air and light, a cozy tone permeat-
ing every movement of the school.
Seek to make the children happy. Null
tiply your efforts to endear school-life
to them. Believe that you have not
discharged your whole duty until you
have done this. What teacher will
stand up and say, "Impossible!"-

The Carson River Dredge.

After seven years labor and after
spending $4,000 in experimenting,
says the Virginia Chronicle, the own
ers of the Carson river dredge have
demonstrated that they can extract the
rich gravel deposits of the Carson
river. The deposits consist chiefly of
quicksilver that escaped from the
quartz mills hat once lined the banks
of the river above and below Dayton,
ard assay between 50 and So ton,
Their richness has always been under
stood, but no one has been able to ex-
tract them in paying quantities until
last Friday, when the dredge raised 10
tons in Eve minutes. AS there are 20
miles OF riverbed 10 be worked, the
successful trial promises the construc-
ton of other dredgss in the near future
and the employment of large num-
Der of men.

Garfield Mines.

G. H. Rulison came In from Carried
the first OF this week, where he had
been experimenting the assessment
work on the Hindley mine, of which
he is part owner. He states that the
owners of the mine intend to do SEINE
more work on their property soon.
The nine is looking well. The next
work on the mine will be done through
the tunnel of the Western mine, which
tunnel runs nearly into the Hiudley
some years ago some very valuable ore
was taken out of the Hindley mine !;
and the Western has alse been a valu-
able ore producer. 1t is believed that
near the head of the Western tunnel,
in the nindley ground, there is an
other body of good ore. and this is
what the owners will go after when
they begin operations again.
While in Garfield District Mr. Ruli-
son visited the Ida mine, the property
of Messrs. Fish, Byron and Briggs.
He says that work enough has been
done on this mine 10 shew that it is a
valuable piece of property. Mr. Fish,
with the help of one man, has been
doing some systematic work for the
past year or two, and new has in sight
large body of rich ore. This ore is
being taken out and sorted, and a car
load will soon be shipped, probably to
the Selby Works. 1t will not sur
prise the owners if this ore goes 5000
or $500 per ton Dayton Times.
