STUDENTS STEAL AN EDUCATION
New Form Of Theft Discovered at the
University Of thieaxo.

New Form of Theft Discovered at the
University Of chicago.
President Harper has discovered a
new species OF crime which is peculiar
to educational institutions and partic-
ularly to the university of Chicago
This Is the theft of an education. The
students this summer are nearly all
transienrs. Most of them are school
teachers who came to acquire new
atoms Of knowledge and general pol.
lshing up i'll pedagogical methods.
The university charges an initiation
lee OF $50 a quarter for regular
course OF three majors. For each ad-
ditional major subject an additional
fee of $40 is assessed. No student is
allowed to register for more than four
and usually not more than three.
1t has been discovered, however, that
many ambitious students have been ac-
curing knowledge on an extravaganza
range Of subjects by registering in only
one or two courses and taking in a
great many more as visitors. The re-
suit was that professors who had few
regularly registered students, have
been surprised by the spaslnodic popu.
larity of their courses. In several
classes President Harper says the regis
tratlon has been small but the attend
ancc mas been immense. The presi-
dent has sent to each instructor a no.
rice which was also posted upon the
bulletin board, to the effect that no one
would hereafter be allowed to visit
classes without written permission

The sloop yacht Brunhilde, Captain
W. D. Overton in command, was en-
gagged for the day. When about three
miles at sea, the fish began to bite. One
Of the party felt something Juggling on
the end Of his line and gave a sudden
pull. As a result he was nearly pulled

captain, crew and his companions went
to his aid and helped haul in the line.
When they had brought the monster
to the surface, he was found to be al
most exhausted. A rope was fastened
around him, and the fishermen started
for home in triumph, pulling the shark
astern. A landing was made at Curtis
bathing pavilion, and the story Of the
unusual capture spread like wildfire
The shark. which was dead by this time,
was dragged ashore
The fish tipped the scales at 200
pounds and measured s !. feet in length.
His mouth is nearly foot in width,
and he has three rows Of sharp triangu-
lar shaped teeth. The fish is on exhibit

taxidermist, will stuff and mount the

ON CHILD IhAiN,no
He Claims That 1t 10 ethical Rather

Than Intellectual.
Child training is, in the first in
stance, ethical rather than intellectual,
writes the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst.
d. D., in the August Ladies' Home
Journal. No one will ask to have this
point argued who considers that the
child is to be educated for the purpose
Of his own personal enhancement and
not for the purpose of making him an
expert or sharper. 1t is a great deal
easier to make people bright than it is
to make them sound. Mentality is an
easy art as compared with mortality.
There is q good deal to be said about
intellectual discipline when we get to
that point; but it is still true that the
issues Of life are out Of the heart aud
not Of the brain. The brain can be
taught from books. but morality is not
thing that can be printed. There
are, it is true, books that are published
on ethics, but few read them and prob
ably nobody practices them. The old
Hebrews were deluged with moral pre-
eepts, some of them written by Gods
own hand; but even the first genera
tion that had the Ten Commandments
had to be killed OF before the Promised
Land could be entered.
l am not going to underrate the
value and Importance Of mental school
ing for the children; but it needs to be
said that unless man has pure and
honest heart, the less he knows the
better it will BE- for him and for all
concerned. And it needs, also, to be
said that even trustworthiness Of intel.
lectual action waits on personal sound
ness Sound brain and unsound mind
are Incompatible. Even if our object
were solely to secure the finest and
fullest intellectual development, We
should still aim, first Of all, to secure
u foundation uf personal integrity for
the scions Of wisdom to root and vege-
tate in. Ii is something as it was with
the planting Of an astronomical OBJ
servatory; however tine its equipment
and whatever the power Of its lenses,
We depend, first OF all, upon the solid
ity with which the observatory is
planted.

MACHINE MINING.
Gradually Becoming More Popular ana
suppianting the Old Method.


We notice with considerable pleasure
that machine mining may be said to be
encroaching upon the older methods OF
mining in the mines Of Europe. Ac-
cording to recent reports received from
scientific institutes III Scotland anu
England, we find that the adoption OF
the machine methods and the use OF
coal cutters in the mines of the coun-
try above specified is becoming daily
more popular. This is very encourage
to know that the major portion of these
machines are of American construction.
We have every reason To be proud of
the fact that in mechanical methods
we lead the world Nowhere has in
ventive genius been more prominent,
nowhere has it met with greater sue
cess in the devisement and successful
application Of all kinds of mechanical
methods, than it has in this country.
Ii may be said here that machine min
ing in our own coal regions is becom-
ing daily more popular If not more

successful than coal mined under the

that there is less friability, less tend
ency towards disintegration. all of
which are important points in the par
ticular virtues of coal. We are in
clined to believe that there is no par
ticular line of manufacture which has
opened before it wider prospects of
trade than that in regard TO the APP
plication Of machinery, not only i'll the

disregard Of expansion and contraction.
A feature of the welding. as explained
BY the superintendent, Is that it can be
done only in streets that arc paved. The
stone. brick or asphalt holds the rail in
position and covers 1t so that it is not
