One great trouble with the Whit
ney boom is that it's owner displays a
heartless Indifference as to whether it
lives or succumbs to the fatal influence
Of the campaign
A man who has the moral courage
to confess that he cannot learn to ride
bicycle is worthy of the presidency.
This is one strong point in Mr.. Cleve-
lands third-term boom.
During the past two weeks no
case of contagious disease has been re-
ported to the health officer. In fact
the record of the health department
for the last year has been phenomenal

If this bicycle craze continues it is
only question of time when ordinary
pedestrians will be required by law to
carry bell, use a lamp at night and
take out license for permission to
walk the streets.
In the report of the leap year ball

-Roujet D. Marshall was the only

Officer Smith arrested Nels Matte
son Friday evening upon complaint of
his mother-in- law, Mrs. Dempsey. All
the parties implicated gave bond this
morning to appear in Justice Slater's

largely family quarrel.

It was some time ago pointed outtby4
Captain 81. e. Taylor what magnift
cent natural field for the extension Of
American commerce lay south, of us
along the coasts Of the gulf of Mexico
and the Caribbean sea. This. natural
field does not extend on the eastern side
south Of the mouth of the Amazon river,
for below that South America is nearer
southern Europe than it is to lis. But
north Of that are splendid possibilities
and opportunities. From New York we
are only a third of the distance from
the Venezuelan and adjoining coasts
that Europe is. From New Orleans we
are only a fourth Of the distance. All
along the islands and the mainland
coasts Of the Caribbean sea the people
are our friends They are republicans;
they. are suspicious Of European coun-
tries. Our task is, therefore, to- build
ships adapted to this great trade, to put
up such goods as it will buy and needs,
and to put them up in the way that
suits the region mentioned. Captain
Taylor thinks the shallow stern wheel
steamboat of the United States is the
one to be put upon the rivers of Central
and South America.

Can Thoughts BE photographer

Can Thoughts BE Photographed?
A very strange experiment has been
successfully performed by Nh. Ingles
Rogers, an English scientist. The Lon
don Telegraph is authority for the
story. It is fact not rare in the ex-
perience Of individuals that after day
spent in unusual scenes, on closing the
eyes to rest at night the main objects
beheld during the day will often appear
before the eyes in the darkness. After
a day on the water, for instance, the
shlmmering waves and the steamers
seen will loom up and dance before the
minds ~ nd eye SO powerfully as to make a
visible image in the darkness in front
of the closed eyes. The impression made
on the brain has been so powerful that
the brain still projects on the optic
nerve the images beheld several hours
before.
1t seems to be on this principle that
Mr.. Ingles Rogers thinks he is able to
photograph his thoughts. An image
held intensely in the thought for some
minutes seems to be projected from the
subjective to the objective, precisely as
the ship and the waves are projected in
the darkness. A real picture Of the
thought is thus projected in front Of the
eye. It is not SO very unfrequent for
persons who have intense power Of
thought concentration to produce 81 to
their external vision picture Of the
thing thought Of.
i Acting on this principle, Mr.. Rogers
says he gazed for several minutes
through a dark camera in room from
which all light had been shut out. AS
he did SO he thought intently Of the
face and features Of child that had
died. He declares that after several ex-
periments Of this intense thought con-
centration he succeeded in producing
upon the sensitive plate the eyes and
outline of the child's face. The field Of
experimentation in this direction is an
inviting one, for amateur photographers
especially.

The Summer School.

Ia the vacationof Harvard university
In 1873 Professor Louis Agassiz estab-
lishei class in zoology on Penikese is-
land, in Buzzards bay Agassiz, who
once declared that he was SO busy he had
no time to make money. From this busy.
enterprise Of his, the Penikese school.
evolved itself gradually the summer
school. Teachers who were busy all the
rest Of the year took up the idea and
enlarged on it. In 1883 and 1890 the
English universities adopted the sum-
mer school idea. Thence it spread
through Germany, France, Switzerland,
Sweden, and even into Turkey, and last
Of all to Japan
But the United States has undoubt-
edly more kinds Of summer schools than
any other country. In all the civilized
world last year there were altogether
$50, and we had 1859 Of them in this
country. We have probably more sum-
mer schools this year than we had in
1895. We do not do things by halves,
we Americans.
It is only in the United States that
the idea Of the strictly relig ious or theo-
logical summer school has taken root.
Theology is a hard nut to crack with
the thermometer in the nineties, but
the Americans seem to take to it as nat
urally as to pie. The many theological
schools are all a development Of the
Chautauqua assembly, which held its
first sessions in 1874. Tt was meant for
Sunday school teachers who wanted to
learn more about the Bible, but its
scope was gradually enlarged till it has
taken in almost every branch of learn
ing known to man, even to lessons in
cookery. In different parts Of the coun-
try are special art and scientific schools
during the summer months
But introducing theological instruc-s
ton into the summer course undoubt-
eddy multiplied the number Of schools
numerously briskly. IF one denomina-
ton established a summer class, then,
not to be outdone, others did the same,
and finally, lest the religious denomi-
nations should get ahead of them, the
scomeouters, the spiritualists the psy-
chical researchers, the ethical cul turists
and the Christian socialists all started
their camps Of instruction during warm
weather
California has one Of tho pleasantest
and most profitable Of the summer
schools in the shape Of a brief course Of
instruction in horticulture for farm peo-
pie. The instruction is by able uniiver-
sity professors and includes not only In In
struction in tillage but also in railroad
freight rates, the laws Of supply and de-
mand, etc. For want Of this kind Of
knowledge many farmer has well nigh
bankrupted himself. 4,ss

Itwould be safe to make a stupendous
prophecy for the people Of 1850 to real
ize. It is that the tides Of the ocean on
both sides Of this continent will be used
to transform power into electricity and
send it half over the country to be util-
lied in manufacturing. Mechanici
have many a time remarked that If the
power produced by the rise and fall of the
tides and the currents of rivers could only
be utilized there would be enough to run
all the factories in North America, with
enough to spare to send balloon to
Mars, if there were any way Of steering
it there. Now scientific men have seri-
ously set about perimenting with a
view to getting hold Of that power. Ger
tainly machinery can be invented in
this age Of mechanics that will turn
wheels alike when the water Of the
tides rises and when it falls. It is only
q question Of time, and not overy long
time either, when this will be done.
