EXPRESSION OF REGRETS.
Ihe Board of Directors of the Technf-
cal Society on Professor
Davidson

The board of directors of the Technical
Society OF the Pacific Coast met last night
at the office of the secretary in the Acad-
envy Of Sciences building upon the subject
OF Professor Davidson's removal from the
Coast and Geodetic Survey.
There were also present some members
of the society who are not of the board of
directors. The general opinion expressed
was that the society ought to express re-
grets that such a valuable man as Profess
sor Davidson should be summarily re-
moved, but no direct action was taken
owing to the fact that the society was not
present or repres euted. except informally.
1t was thought advisable to obtain the
action of the society as a body at its next
regular meeting in August. A committee
of three was appointed and directed to draft
resolutions of regret and present them to
the meeting. 1ris committee is COM
posed of John Richard (past pre- .idant), c.
e. Grunsky -president) and Otto Won
Geldern (secretary).

SALARIES OF TEACHERS,
The State Appropriation Will
Permit of Their Payment
in Full.
1t Amounts to $22o,1O6 SO and Is
Considerably Larger Than Was
Expected.

There Is Joy among the teachers of the
School Department over the report that
has come from the Office of the State Su.
perintendent of Public Instruction. II
was to the effect that the State moneys
had been apportioned among the vari.
Gus cities and towns.
In this city the School Department, with
other portions of the municipal govern
ment, has suffered from the poverty
stricken condition OF the various funds,
and it was announced that the teachers
would have to be willing to forego a
months salary, there being no funds tc
pay them.
1t was not then known what the
exact amount of the State appropriation
would be- OF course it was expected that
considerable would be realized, and that
possibly the teachers would get hall
pay for the month that is due them.
According to the report San Francisco
has 6S, 399 school children, and is, there.
FORE entitled to 1929, 106 so. With this
amount not only can the teachers be paid
in full, but with a reasonable appropria-
ton from the City for the present fiscal
year the department will be in good con.
dition.

Suddenly scream and a scramble rent
the air as two bicycles cracked together.
Jack, are you hurt?"
No answer.

Still deep and utter silence. Then she
gave pathetic little wall.

GENTLE BROWN SNAKES.
Live In Summer In bitches and Creeks
and Devour Small Fish.

Live In Summer In bitches and Creeks
and Devour Small Fish.
1t is hard for the average man or
woman to believe that any species
of the snake family would ever
mako attractive and interesting pets.
So strong is our hereditary hatred
OF serpents that many sensitive per-
sons even dislike to read of them or
their habits. Yet it is true that the
venomous and ugly kinds are in the
J minority and that several species are
i absolutely harmless and very gentle.
No better example of the latter
sort need be cited than the brown
snake-"De Kay's little brown
snake, " as it is more strictly known.
While not SO common a variety as
the true garter snakes, which name
is applied by the average individual
to about five or six separate varie-
ties, yet they may be found in their
favorite haunts all through the
spring, summer and part of the fall
in Connecticut, New Jersey and New
York.
The muddy bitches, shallow creeks
and spring brooks are the chosen
abiding places of tho brown snakes
in tho early months. Ono of the
first species to leave winter quarters,
they may always be found summing
on fiat stones or dry logs by the
creek side in April. They are grace
full i'll every movement and quicker
than thought. When once they de-
eide to devour small frog or an
aquatic insect 1t is tho surest and
swiftest sort of death to the victim.
Initiating their larger brethren, the
real water nocoasins, these midgets
are fast, fearless swimmers and
spend much of their time in pursu-
ing small fish. They catch a mar
velous number Of clubs and sinners.
When the crisp nights and dawns
of Septem Der come, the little brown
snakes take to the uplands. In sun
ny, cozy corners and hollows carpet
ed with dry leaves they may be
found sleepily basking as late as
the end of October. The cooler
weather seems to drive them from
their damp retreats. While on the
high ground they feed on tree toads,
slugs and insects of'many sorts. To
secure one or two of these beautiful
reptiles is not easy, but may be &C
complished with o long handled,
light net, quick eye and ready
hand.
Kept in O roomy box with glass
sides, q good sized pool and bed of
dry leaves, with some growing plants
and moss, and placed where a warm,
generous flood of sunlight can battle
the box and it's contents nearly all
day, the brown snake will be con-
tented. He will learn to know his
keeper, to take hin food from the
latter's fingers and will teach him
many ways and habits of snakes not
to be learned from books.-New
York World.

The LaGra nge Reporter dil

The LAGRANGE Reporter dis uss-
es the current topic of football as
follows: "The fury and brutality
of the football game is made man.
ifest, when by carefully computed
figures, it is shown that forty>six
deaths resulted within the short Pc
Rod of four months last year. These
figures do not include the lost Wis
ION, broken noses, injured ears and
other disfgurements. The prize ring
offers nothing in comparison to it,
and yet strenuous efforts are exert.
ed to prevent pugilism by law. Bull
fights are not one fifth as brutal.
The records of Spain show that DUR
ing the year 1894 only twelve men
lost their lives in the arena. Foot
ball as now practiced is more brutal
than bull fighting. Again 1t is
case of Drawn versus brain, and
brain suffers. Investigation has de-
veloped the fact that q majority Of
the football players stand among the
lowest in their classes"

A JUDGES WIT.

Some years ago there lived in
Alabama judge who was noted for
the sarcasm which he dispensed
during his administration ofjustice.
On one occasion a young man was
tried for stealing a pocket book.
The next case was tor murder. The
evidence in the larceny case was
slight, but the other seemed to the
judge conclusive. To his amaze>
ment and wrath, however, the jury
convicted The young man and ac-
quilted the murderer. In passing
sentence upon the convicted thief,
after the discharge of the other
prisoner, the judge said, "Young
man, you have not been in this
country long?" ''No, your honor y
replied the prisoner. II thought
not" said the judge. "You don't
know these people. You may kill
then, but don't touch their pocket
books"
On another occasion, when the
evidence seemed to poiut conclu-
sively to the prisoners guilt, bat
when the judge, from long experi~
ence, distrusted the jurymen's wis
dom, the counsel for the defendant
said, at is better that SO guilty
persons should escape than that
ore innocent man should suffer"
In his charge to the jury the Judge
admitted the soundness OF this prop
osition, but he added impresslvely
and severely, Gentlemen, l want
you to bear in mind that SO have
already escaped"

Social Life of q Church.

We should understood that q
wholesome social life d b church
does not involve an obiiteration of
all that divides men AMI women into
groups outside the c4aroh, writes
Mrs. Lyman. Abbott in Aadies' Homo
Journal. 1t does mean the oblitera-
ton of some of those lines. Except
while under the power of an absorb
ing interest, degrees of intellectual
cultivation, tastes, habits make COM
partnership agreeable or disagreed
BILE. So while men and women of
diverse CHARACTERISTICS may work to-
gether happily under the stress of o
pressing need, may sing together the
same hymns, may join in the same
prayers, they may not at all agree in
minor matters of daily living, and
therefore constant intercourse would
not be desirabl
A friendly feeling expressed in
word and deed does not make it nee
essary that Fishin Jimmy, noble
Christian though he be, should in
vite Mr.. Gladstone to visit him nor
require that Mr. Gladstone should
ask Queen Victoria to invite Fishin
Jimmy to one of her state dinners.
Lady Aberdeen has proved to US that
there is possible fellowship in the
home which transcends both intel
lectual and social distinctions with
out celebrating them. And the
church should exemplify the same
truth.
