The career of the pneumatic dynamite gun, gays the Springfield Republican, in Brazilian waters, reads like ''romancen of comic opera book. According to the engineer of the ship people on shore would say: 'sFor Gods sake, when's that boat going to leave. My wife and children can't sleep for dread of her; we're going into the country till she's gone." And again "The newspapers at Martinique, Pernambuco and Bahia did nothing but talk about her and excited public attention to the point that every inhabltant wished her out of these har- bors. They were in mortal dread of the Nictheroy and wished her away. The simple fact of the presence of the Nic- thcroy at Pernambuco and Bahia had very salutary effect on the rebels. ' The effect was extraordinary, indeed, if the dynamite gun finished the rebellion, for not single explosive was fired from the thing during the vessels belligerent career. Tho crew simply practiced at tarrets with dummy prcjectiies.

Their sales are not con- fined to Watertown and vicinity as they have got many orders within the last few weeks where it required them to be shipped from the factory, being boxed up by experienced shippers for long dis tances by rail. Mir Hudson had letter last week, from a gentleman in Baraboo Wis, asking the firm to forward to hin immediately one of his Concord buggieS This is the indirect effect of advertising at the Worlds fair.

CHILD-STUDY: AN EDUCATIONAL
 REVOLUTION.

REVOLUTION.
 There is very brief and simple ar- ticle in the May number of The Forum that explains the practical working of a complete revolution in education. It is the record kept by the teachers, in a school for children in Brooklyn, of the progress and characteristics of every child. The chief aim of the teachers was the conscientious study of every in- dividual pupil; and every teacher made an estimate of every pupil at regular intervals and the record was kept. One entry, for instance, was as follows: october I.-Ago 10 years; heavyey not well; hearing and sight slightly defective; wanting in selftrust. January 9-Marked Improvement; very uneven in his wolk; in Clined to be Selt.distrustful. March S.-Mark- cd improvement; still seltdistusttul and uneven; influence not always good. May 23.-Progress for the year excellent has gained in power to think; much improved in
 
 gaining the respect Of the class; still wanting in selttrust.
 Having thus taken the child and not books as the main subject of school work, Miss Laing is able to write, long time afterward "Seven years have pass ed, but these children live in my mind as if l had parted with them yesterday. Clearly defined and individualized, they hold their place in memory as no other children have done, and l feel that, through all the intervening changes, know them to-day as an artist, who has clearly seen the strongly blocked out lines of the unfinished statue, recognizes it at once, though many finishing strokes have been added by other hands,"
 This method has since been intro duced with notifications and improve ments by Miss Laing in the State Nor maj School at Platteville, Wis, and It ii now to be adopted in a number of public schools. The change from the ole method is simple but radical one The old way was to teach child certain facts, and the facts were objects of tn, main attention. The new way is tt train and develop the child, and tho child is the object of the main attention
 
 And this is Arbor day, by the advice and consent of his excellencY, Gov Morris. There are still far too many un attractive school house grounds, bleak church surroundings, sadly neglected cemeteries In some of our rural commu- mites, and to such this day should more strongly appeal than it has yet done. Gov Morris proclamation was a model document of it's kind by the way. This is the principal point he makes: recom- mend that the people of this common wealth observe the day by planting fruit and ornamental trees along our high ways and around our homes and public school buildings. And that in our schools the day be observed by suitable exercises tending to develop the love of the beautiful in nature, and public spirit in all things that will make our homes more desirable. This state is now ire quently sought, by people from other states, as summer residence, and by a due observance of Arbor day we can add to it's attractions, so that our young peo- pie will remain with us, and others will be induced to have their homes within it's borders.

CROP BULLETIN
OF the New Mexico Weather Service
For the Week Ending Sept. 10.
U. s. Dept. OF AGRICULTURE,

U. s. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE,
pEs Weather Bureau.
Bulletin No. IT: Cool, partly cloudy
weather, with frequent light showers has
been the prevailing condition during the
past week, and was very favorable for
the advancement of all growing crops,
and especially beneficial to the stock
ranges in the southern part of the terri
tory and in the San Juan valley, where
the stock ranges were very much in need
of water. Some damage was done to
crops that were being harvested, by the
rains in localities, but this was not ex-
tensive enough to be serious loss. The
improvement in the stock ranges has
been very rapid and good winter feed is
now assured in nearly all sections of the
territory. The conditions most needed
at present are dry and warm weather for
ripenlng and harvesting crops.
The following extracts from few of
the reports received at this office will be
found of interest:
Fruitland (San Juan valley):-Third
crop of alfalfa growing fast and we'll.
Gardens also doing we'll. The grape crop
is especially good both as regards guam
tity and quality.
Pennington (San Juan Valley: = A
glorious rain all over this county, grass
growing fine, will make good winter feed.
Crops are maturing fine, fruit in good
condition and selling at good prices.
Halls Peak:-Harvesting is now on in
earnest. A splendid yield of wheat and
oats is assured. Corn excellent, but
late, and may be hurt by frosts.
Las Vegas:-Harvesting of small grain
is proceeding and threshing has begun.
Corn looks we'll and grass is fine.
Albuquerque:-Grass has made wonder
full progress this week. Feed is abund-
ant. Fruit is coming into market plen-
tifully of excellent quality.
Estalina Springs FORTY miles 8. ". of
Socorro) Range grass and live stock in
fine condition. Plenty feed now assured
for next winter.
Gila:-Rainy season seems to be over;
we have not had near enough rain; grass
has started but not enough to last the
stock this winter. ~ W.
Alma:-Nights rather cool and no rain
to speak Of; but growth of all crops fair.
Grass beginning to cure on ranges, rain
would not benefit.
acknowledgement showers of late in
locality continue to improve the ranges.
Can't be better. Vegetables and fruit
plentiful. Third crop of alfalfa stacked
and above average yield. Oats, barley,
corn, other small grains promise large
yields. Egyptian corn in fine condition.
Eddy: = Weather this week slightly
warmer, hardening the ripening of crops.
No rain has fallen this month, but it's
absence is beneficial at present as an
abundance of water is obtained from
irrigating reservoirs and canals. Large
yields of all crops are expected. Alfalfa
and Egyptian corn will be our staples.
Our surplus is in demand at good prices.
Fruits, grapes and vegetables plentiful.
