The Common schools,

The Recorder is opposed to any and
every form of taxation where the few are
benefited at the expense of the many.
It is therefore opposed to state aid being
given to any institution of learning ex-
cept our common schools, as in the
latter institutions is where at least 80
per cent of our children receive all the
schooling they ever get, and as our
public school system is now such that it
affords all the youth of the state the
means of securing an education that will
fit them for the ordinary vocations of
life, we consider that every dollar ex-
pended by the state for educational pur-
poses should go to them, and that every
dollar Of the peoples money that is ap-
propriated for the higher institutions Of
learning is robbing go children out Of
every 100 for the benefit of the other 10.
If all the money that the state expends
for school purposes was given directly to
the common schools, it would greatly

II had long been the custom to say
that OF tourist, foreigners, shoppers
and wage earners, something like $50.
600 souls came here every day. Per,
maps the estimate was too high at that
time: certainly II is too low now.
We know that about 10000 persons
cross the Brooklyn bridge every day,
and that about 100000 railway passen-
gers come and go over the tracks in
the Pennsylvania and Grand Central
depots Cut those figures in half TO
represent the movement one way, and
we have the sum of $4,000 daily Wis
itors by those three gates alone. We
know that 100000 passengers come
here each year on foreign steamers
or 1,4O0 a day-but there are only
5000 foreign steamers as against LOO
domestic steamers, 14.000 sailing ships,
80 steam passenger boats and % fer
~ lires-the last bringing the wage
earners who work in New York for
the support Of nearly 100000 persons
living In the immediate suburbs of
the city. OF all who come by these
routes there is no record whatever,
and of twenty-three railroads that
empty their trade into this city, /

those terminating at two depots-the
two very great depots.

running lengthwise along the island,
and another dozen side streets that a
stranger is likely TO concern himself
with. Along four Of me lengthwise
avenues run the lines Of the elevated
steam railway, which is so built as to
connect with all these two dozen prin-
cipal streets. 1t does the greatest busI-

A great deal of fault is found with
New York because its cab service is

this is that the city is so easy TO IN

AsnirinR Insects.

When Prof. George f. Hale was
making experiments in photographing
the sun from the top Of Pixies Peak,
in July, 1898. he noticed swarms of in
sects flying high above the mountain,
and so numerous that the reflection Of
light from their bodies added consid-
erably to the brightness of the sky.
In July last Prof Hale from the OBJ
servatory on the summit of Mount
Etna again noticed clouds of insects,
whose presence affected the uanspar-
ency of the sky.
A correspondent of the Companion
who last summer assembled the PichacO
de Yeleta, the hugh snow-pointed
mountain in the Sierra Nevada, ll,5OO
feet high, which looks down upon
Granada on one side and upon the
Mediterranean on the other, was sur
prised to see, scattered over the rocks
and snow about the summit, great num-
beers of coccinella beetles, or lady
bugs" He caught a fine specimen on
the topmost crag and put it in pocket
poStage-stamp case.
He was not less surprised when, upon
opening his lunch basket, he was as
sailed by swarm of flies, which, II
they were not on mountain exploring
expedition. had certainly chosen

These facts confirm what others have
observed OF the occasional prevalence
OF smaller insects at elevations which
might have been supposed TO be beyond
their reach.
