1t is no easy task to convince the
modern school chess crank that his
pet theories and openings were
known and played centuries ago, and
yet such is the case. The further we
probe into ancient history the more
modern becomes the style of the
games of chess which are unearthed
until it looks as if the old masters
were well up in all the wrinkles of
the most favorite openings. The Ruy
Lopez, invented by priest of that
name, has been played for centuries
and continues TO be the most pop
ular opening with the chess masters
Of today. The Ginoco piano has re
ceived the attention of modern ana
lysts, and yet we find that the same
moves Were played centuries ago

pn that sleep is entirely unneces-

physical economy by the use OF

has been only . necessity because
the methods Of maintaining an arti-

imperfect that man has sought sleep
simply to get rid Of the use OF the

It is probable that Edison's success
with his sleep annihilator will be
equal to that Of the man who put
green goggles on his horses eyes

sons arrived. In 1892 about 1900 moro came
and IN 1903 between 5000 and 5000, so that
the total population OF the two colonies In
January, 1894, was about $4,000, all Jews
from southern Russia. Mr.. Gastrcll reports
their condition To be decidedly prosperous

that the sod was not turned on their farms

Of 3l5O,000. At the low price of wheat this

TIE principal Of boys academy
in Middletown. N. Y, has inaugu-
rated the policy OF having jury trials
A which the pupils shall be the
jurors in all cases Of offences against
school discipline. The young men
are thus given .some practical ex-
perience In deciding as to the weight
Of evidence. In the first case the
jury unanimously voted q verdict OF
acquittaL In the next a verdict Of
guilty was rendered, and q severe
punishment was recommended. The
experience gained in jury duty is
undoubtedly educational in its ef-
fects. and the young men from the
Middletown school will in after life
be better fitted for jury duty than
are the majority OF those ON whom
It is imposed only after they become

The Arapahoe county officials arc going to
secure a change In the method Of assessIng
railroad property If possible. They have In
stituted proceedings in the District Court 70
test the legality Of the present method.
This arises out Of the fact that the State
only Allows taxcs to counties for main track
within their confines, but apportions out the
other taxable property. Tho difference "a
the Arapahoo county assessment is almost
100000. Tho present method OF appor-
tioning these taxes IL the same - has always

torney says that Notwithstanding this the
custom Is contrary to law, and that county
is entitled TO taxes from all the taxable prop
erty 1t contains, excepting tho rolling stock.

county authorities. They cannot SEQ the
