1t was startling to find, as once did.
boy OF fourteen who had been so per-
slstently tauTht that the moon sione
by reflected light that he believed the
moon to be nothin = more than an inlagc
OF the sun cast on The celestial sphere,
much as we throw a sunbeam ON
the wall, says n writer in Popular
Science Monthly. He was greatly sur
priscd at the time Of an eclipse to find
that the moon was IL solid body. It re-
hected somewhat on the usefulness of
geography to find children whose main
impression, after considerable study
OF the map. was that Pennsylvania was
yellow and New Jersey pink, while for
soma unexplained reason New Yorl,
was green. Doubtless things have i'm
proved since those days, but even now,
IN the year of grace 1895, the study of
child psychology is revealing the fact
- -. ~u..o,sscl, ~ our synooI
children arc ignorant of the most cverv-
day realities of life. These same chill
dren can Outtallt and outname their less
schoolcd elders. They can make quiet
country boy silent and abashed in the
presence of their wordy knowledge.
But in spite of it all they leave an i'm
preston of undesirable helplessness.
NOW, we arc all agreed that, as things
stand mt present, the school cannot no
dispensed with. Its benefits are much
TOO substantial. But it can be supple-
mcnted, and some at least of these de-
hcicncics corrected. The early motive
for the introduction of manual training
was precisely this. 1t was u desire to
bring boyhood back into world of
reality through an acquaintance with
things. DcXterity in the use of tools,
and in the handling of such stubborn
facts as wood and clay and metal, was
held to be important as n part of this
reality. The work went on with earn
est singlencss of purpose and COM
mands the respect Of even those who
see In manual training something much
deeper than this mere convenience.

WHO LET HENEY ESCAPE?

the Carson Appeal commenting
published in the Journal relative to
James Heney, says cit is quite evil
dent that some one is to blame for
letting Heney escape and the blame
should be definitely located" That
the Appeal is right no honest man
will dispute, but how is the blame to
be located unless the matter is inves-
tigated? The facts are these and if
the Appeal can definitely locate the
blame it is greatly to be hoped that it
will do SO:
III. II. Beck states that on the even.
ing of March %, 1895, he informed the
Government officials that man Civ
ing the name of James Heney had at
various times brought granulated
gold 989 fine and aggregating IN
value about $4,000, to the Reno Re-
duction works and had it melted into
bars, some of which were shipped by
express to San Francisco and others
OF which were taken from the works
by Mr.. Heney; that he, H. II. Beck,
had that day, March %, 1895, learned
that the gold melted for Mr.. Heney
was similar to that refined at the
mint, and that Heney had been en-
ployed at the mint; that the officers to
whom he communicated this import
ant information informed him thew
knew Heney was i'll San Francisco,
yet for some cause to him and the
public unknown Heney was not ar
rested, and the last heard of him by
the public was on April 3, 1885, when
he appeared before "a Notary Public
and signed and acknowledged a
power Of attorney to his wife to
dispose Of the property held in his
name.
Or course there are surmises as TO
the cause of Mr.. Hensy's escape, when
Government detectives we're swarm
ing about Carson like flies around q
molasses keg, but surmises are some-
times unfounded. Mr.. Heney held
the key to the mint situation. Men
who have been employed in the mint
say 1t was impossible for him or any
other individual to steal the metal
without other employees knowing of
the theft. If that is the fact Mr..
Heney was doubtless assisted in eff.
fectmg his escape as he evidently
knew too much about operations in
the mint for the comfort of those
who assisted in the stcal.-Reno
Jou rnal.

How o Poor Naturalist Got the Beginning
OF = Largo Fortune.
John James Mayo, a quiet, middle
aged man, has had a career as roman
tic as that of Monte Crlsto. Mayo,
says the Gillian Times, is now Guate-
maian millionaire, who lives nine
months OF the year in Paris. Twenty
years ago he was a poor English collec-
tor of insects in Guatemala, and also
acted as the British vice consul at, San
Jose.
One day Commandante Gonzalez or
dered Mayo to appear before him.
Mayo sent word that he would come in
n short time. This incensed the com
mandante, and he sent a file of soldiers
after Mage, and when the insect col
lector appeared ordered seventy-five
lashes to be laid upon his bare back.
This was done very thoroughly, and,
when it was finished, Gonzalez shouted:
Give him twenty-five more for
lucll!"
When Mage recovered, which was
only after careful nursing, as his back
was badly cut up, he made formal
complaint TO the British government.
The result was that Guatemala was or
dcred to punish Gonzalez, and to paw
Mayo five hundred dollars Zone hun
dred pounds sterling) for every lash he
had received. In default of this, Eng
llSh cruisers would shell San Jose and
other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez,
but tried hard to eyade paying fifty
thousand dollars to Mago The Brit
lsh, however, were memorable, and the
poor collector was made comparative
ly rich man in one day AS he had
more coin than any man in the country
at that time, President Barrios went
into partnership with him.
Mayo became one of the largest cof-
fee planters, and also secured the con-
tract for building docks in the ports.
No one can land or leave one of these
docks without paying toll to Mayo,
while he also lcvies tax on all freight.
lie also owns valuable mines and tracts
OF timber. His fortune is estimated ut
one million pounds sterling, all due to
one hundred lashes ON his back.

Free Wool

The wool market is keeping pace

Gently at the leading wool ~centers Of
the United States aggregated nearly
100000 pounds. Boston is the prin.
