A REPoRTERls FEAT.
How He offended the Late John Ericsson
OF Naval Warfare Fame.


NEW YORK, Dee 25.-For some reason
John Ericsson, the inventor of the monitor
type of gunboats, and the Destroyer, which
recently went TO Brazil 60 help wage the sea
battles Of Peixoto, determined when the lat
ter fighting machine was under way TO keep
its building secret from the public. Accord
ingly he had the boat built in sections at "A
certain well known iron works, whence it
was taken and put together in shipyard
on the North river, this city. Despite all
his precautions. however, some inkling Of
the matter got out, and half dozen MINI
BILE witted young newspaper reporters beut
their energies TO the task OF discovering rhe
details Of the inventor latest scheme. Suc-
cess finally crowued the efforts of one who
has since graduated into the ranks of the
managing editors, and this discovery was
one OF his earliest and longest steps in the
right direction
II was ON Saturday afternoon that he dis
covered thata new vessel had been launched
from one OF The North river yards. It was
small and might be a steam yacht. lie
could not then get near enough to the boat
20 discover more than this but that night
he put in an appearance and soon struck
up an acquaintance with the night watch
man Of the yard. The reporters pockets
were filled with cigars several of which
were transferred TO the Waterman quite
early in the evening. There was also some
worshiping at the shrine OF Bacchus, and
when the reporter proposed 20 the watch
man tour through the yard the custodian
yielded a ready assent. After a little the
Waterman volunteered some Information
about the boat that had been lately launch
ed and for consideration rowed the re-
porter ont to where she lay al anchor.

journalist long. after be had boarded the

SCHOOL COLUMN.

Teachers and others interested in school
work are requested to send contributions to
this column to Chas. Ii. Chase. ST. Louis
Mich. All contributions will be carefully
examined and inserted if space allow and
matter is of general interest.
THE COUNTRY SCHOOL
Vacation has now passed and teachers and
pupils will return to their work with renewed
vigor. Country school ma ans and masters
are accustomed to bewail their lot because of
their want of apparatus and other facilities
for doing their work, enjoyed by the graded
schools, Let them console themselves with
this fact: The country school Is the place
where by far the largest percentage of men
who make mark in the world begin their
careers. This i to be accounted for by
several conditions which favor the country
youth. He has usually a good PIT ysical
development to build on: and this is the first
essential to the highest development of man
hood. Second, he Is more closely in contact
with his teacher and can imbibe the teachers
influence and enthusiasm more completely
than in the village school, this because he
usually gets more personal attention. Third,
the bent of the pupils genius has by far
more degrees of freedom in the country
school. if he be properly led along by the
teacher. The tendency so general in village
schools, TO grind out finished product,
after manner of bricks from the same
machine, shot through the same sieve, and
implements from the same SNAPPER, Is in the
country school quite generally absent. Here
individuality Is not sacrificed to superficial
proficiency: invention, aud independent
thinking to mere mechanical memorzing.
We would not be understood "a claiming
anything like perfection for the country
school; there is, indeed, great room for i'm
proyement Our intention Is rather to show
that the country school teacher has field
scarcely inferior, superior in some respects,
to that of his brother in the village school.
In what has been said the pronoun he, his,
and the nouns men, brother etc, are to be
taken in the common gender, as the remarks
apply equally to both sexes.
1t will be our endeavor each week TO have
something of interest in this column and we
ask teachers from all parts of the county to
contribute their ideas.

A Woman Aeronaut Talks About the SEN
sations OF Ascent and Descent.

Asked to explain as clearly Is posi-
bic the sensations peculiar 10 the ascent
and descent of person 10 and from the
extraordinary attitudes 10 which she
travels, Mrs. ROmig said TO an Oregon
Statesman reporter:
"Ihe sensations are Numerically OPP
poste the general idea that prevails
among people who never made such al
tempts; instead of feeling yourself lifted
bodily and swiftly up into space YOU
have realistic sense of staying just
where You were and of the earth falling

feeling continues just So long as youl

time that You have moved upward, and,
of course. the wonderful panorama

upon your mind when You cut loose
from the balloon.
"The descent then, until the parachute
fills, is sheer and sudden and direct a.

perienced, ranging in depth. according

feet, and this is the most unpleasant
part of my business The same pre-
caution of holding the breath is as i'm.
peraucely necessary in this first fall n
it is when YOU are submerged in the
water"
In response to question as to the
longest jump she had made in her career
a an aeronaut Mrs. Romig said that in
1890, at Bakers beach, just inside the
Golden Gate, at San Francisco, she
made a perfectly successful lump from
an altitude determined by mathematical
instruments to he just fraction over
two and one-half miles. She alighted
in the bay, but being fully protected
with a life-preserver (Which she always
dons when exhibiting near rivers, lakes
or other large bodies of water). she
was all right when picked up by the
boatmen who went instantly to her re-
lief
Mrs. Romig says: The easiest place
in which to land is body of water or
plowed field but Of the two prefer the
field"

Opening watch case with a knife
on lingernail is needless in our day
The Keystone Watch Case Company,
of Philadelphia, Pa, furnishes free a
handsome watch case opener which
makes, besides, a pretty charm for the
watch chain. If you can't get one from
your ieweler, send to Philadelphia.
This company is the largest of its kind
in the world, and makes all kinds of
cases. Its speciality is the Boss filled
case. Jas Boss invented and made the
first filled case IN 1859, and many of
the cases then made and worn since are
still intact. Later the Boss patents
passed into the hands of the Keystone
Company, which has the sole right to
make these eases. 1t has also the sole
right to use on its cases the patent
Non-pull-out bow or ring, which pre-
vents loss of the watch by theft or in

company does not retail, but all jewel
