For an InstItute Fund.

The law passed last winter proyiG-
ing for county teachers institute
fund is receiving considerable atten-
tion from the local press Of the state.
Much that has been written shows
an ineXcusable ignorance Of the pro-
visions Of the law and u the condi-
tions Of its operation.
Sections ! and are as follows:
SECTION l. Any applicant present.
ing himself for examination by the
county superintendent OF schools for
a certificate emitting him TO teach in
the county SUPPLEMENTARY district
shall. before such examination be en-
tered upon, pay to the said county
superintendent an examination Zee Of
one dollar.
SECTION 4. All moneys paid to the
county superintendent under the pro-
visions Of this act shall constitute an
Institute fund, and shall be used un-
der the direction of the county super
intendent in defraying the necessary
expense in whole or in part, OF con-
dacting one or more teachers insti-
tutes annually for the instruction OF
the teachers in his district in the
theory aud art OF teaching and in the
branches taught in the common
schools; and in compensation for
lectures Al such institutes by others
than the conductors and county
superintendent.
Ii was through the efforts OF school
men that the passage Of the above
was secured.
For years the examination rooms
of superintendent have been crowd.
cd with were children who had but
little expectation of passing the eN.
animation and no intention TO teach
even il successful
Such a practice entailed weeks .
laborious drudgery upon superin
tendents whose time could be NOR,
protitatly given 10 other duties
The dollar paid for writing is not
in any proper sense tax but only
partial return TO the county Of tn,
expense incident 10 awarding spscia
privileges to the applicants il is to b,
used to provide institutes for the ben
etit Of teachers.
The editor Of one Of the local pa
pers in the county laments the il
justice of various high school prinei
pals having to be examined Will
county officers are eligible for ofic
without examination. As a matte
of fact not one OF the high school me
named is subject to examination.
The men most active in upbuildin
the schools u the state believe II
law a beneficial one. and il should |

rhe Moons Power over the weather

Fallaeies about the moon are num-
erous, such as that the full moon
clears away the clouds; that yon
should only SOW beans or cut down
trees in the wane Of the moon that il
is bad sign if she changes on SAT-
urday or sunday; that two full moons
in a month viii cause flood; that 10
see the old moon in the arms Of the
new brings on rain, and many others,
Of which catalogue alone won d
take up a good deal Of space. M.
Flammarion says that 1.-THE moon's in
fluenee on the weather is negligible.
The heat reaching us from the moon
would only affect our temperature by
twelve millionth OF degree; and the
atmospheric tides caused by the moon
would only affect the barometric pres
a few hundredths Of an inch--a guam
tity far less than the changes which
are always taking place from other
causes. On the whole we are dispos-
ed TO agree with the rhyme which
thus sums up the subject;
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1895-09-19
The moon and the weather
Nav change together
But change OF the moon
Does not change the weatne

Even the halo round the moon has
been ,iiseredited. for Mr. Lowe found
that il was as often followed by fine
weather as by rain, and Messrs. Mar
roit and Abereromby found that the
lunar halo Immediately preceded rain
in thirty-four eases out of sixty-one.
We always have lingering hope that
some future meteorologist viii dis
entangle the overlapping influences,
and arrive some day at definite proof
that our satellite after all has some
thing to do with our weather. Nat

N cOrRT HELD 81 sTORKs.

The owner OF a house near Berlin
found a single egg in the nest Of a pair
of storks built in the chimney, and
substituted for it q goose egg, which in
due time was Matched, and produced a
gosling instead Of the expected stork-
ling. The male bird was thrown into
the greatest excitement by this event,
and finally new away. The female,
however. remained on the nest and con-
tinued to care for the changing as
though it were her own offspring. On
the morning OF the fourth day the male
reappeared accompanied by nearly 500
stOrks. which held a mass meeting In
an adjacent field. The assembly, we
are informed was addressed by several
speakers. each orator posting himself
on the same spot before beginning his
harangue. There deliberations and
discussions occupied nearly the whole
forenoon. when suddenly the meeting
broke up and all the stOrks pounced
upon the unfortunate female and her
suppositious young one, killed them
both. and after destroying their pol
luted nest, took wing and departed,
and were never seen there again.

Then in Kansas City fire in a great pack
ing house wiped out nearly one million
dollars worth of property. private

inmates of the house may yet die Of their
injuries. A Philadelphia dwelling also went

probably die as the result. Others were
mysterious explosion in a Chicago theater
did much damage 1t is one Of the causes
of characterization by the citizens of
Washington on the fact of their residence
here that there are SO few disastrous fires
in this city. The past year was unusual in
respect to damage done by flames, two
fatal Gres having occurred. The average,
however. rs remarkably low for such
large community, due partly to the width
and smoothness of the streets, and the
ers get to the scene of action, and to COM
parative freedom from a network of over
head wires. Then, too rigid laws relating
to the character Of buildings erected In
late years have tended to the general i'm
provement of conditions. and today there
is no safer city in the country In this re-
spect than Washington.

1t has been only a question Of time when
the law would be compelled to step in be-
tween too-complacent public and the mer-
cenary managers who have been making
those demoralizins exhibitions that. in all
their degrees Of uncleanlness, have been
called living pictures" The climax has
come now in the case Of the exhibition of
nude men and women busted over with a
powder to represent bronze statues The
evolution from the first family suggestive
tableau to the last prurient production of
the managers brain has been rapid and
should no steps be taken to finally check
this growth of the unclean, utilized as
means of attracting audiences to otherwise
embarrassing performances there Is really
no certainty where the process will end.
From the bronze statue personated by
nude woman to the last degree of immod-
ssty Is but short step and no plea of art

From the Washington Times.

From the washington Times.
Generally speaking, Editor Dana Of the
New York Sun bears the reputation Of
being the most virile and abusive writer
among the American newspaper fraternity.
Inspired by his habtual desire to libel
somebody, he penned an editorial vilffying
the Associated Press, and happening to
remember the name of our esteemed citt-
zen Mr. Frank B. Noyes, also charged him
with dishonesty.
In justffable attempt to retaliate, Mr.
Moves also brought criminal suit for libel
against Editor Dana, and Is attempting to
bring him to Washington for trial. The
case is attracting more than ordinary at
tention, inasmuch as it involves the ques-
ton of whether or not a newspaper can be
sued for libel away from its place Of publ
cation.
The reputation of Mr.. Noyes Is far and
above any mud-slinging Editor Dana can
indulge. Among Washington people he
needs no vindication in any court of law,
but no man likes to be maliciously at
tackled, and therefore his prosecution Of
Editor Dana. Whatever may be the Quib-
BILE at law behind which Editor Dana seeks
to hide, there can be no question as to the
justice of Mr.. Noyes' suit And the Times
hopes he will succeed.

II the Commissioners are efficient In their
ing and news distributing agency then their
daily bulletins announce everything of con-
sequence that all the branches of the Dis
trict government accomplish each day. And
If this meager output of news, this brief
record of trivialities, does represent the ag-
gregate of the daily labors of all the
branches of the District government, then
the government as a municipal worker, is
lazy, inefficient and unproductive. 1t is a
failure either in it's municipal lahors or in
its news-collecting labors. The Star pre-
fers to chCo &c the second horn Of the Gil
emma. In fact, if the Commissioners were
collecting the news under salary The Star
would feel compelled to discharge them as
incapable reporters. The Star believes that
the public welfare would be promoted if the
Commissioners should devote their entire
time and attention to the municipal duties
imposed upon them by law, and leave to
the newspapers the task of collecting and
recording In the public interest Informal
ton concerning the proceedings Of the score
or more of bureaux, which labor faithfully
and fruitfully in widely diversified and i'm
portant fields for the benefit Of the Dis
trict. In no other way can that publicity
be secured which Is essential for the satis-
factory conduct of municipal affairs from
the point of view Of the unrepresented peo-
pie of the District Of Columbia.
