ARBOR DAY.

State Superintendent of Schools John
r. Kirk has issued the following state
ment concerning Arbor Day:
Arbor Day in Missouri this year is
April TO- This is determined by sec
tion 500 of our statutes, which is as
follows THE first Friday after the
first Tuesday in April of each year is
hereby set apart as Arbor Day for this
state, and all teachers, pupils and
patrons are requested to observe the
same in their respective school districts
by encouraging the planting of trees,
shrubbery and flowers upon and around
the school house grounds of their dis
tricts that such grounds may be rend-
cred pleasant and attractive-a part Of
the day to be devoted to literary exer-
cises having special reference to the
work in hand, as the teacher or COM
mittee in charge may direct, and the
afternoon to be devoted to the improve
ment and ornameDtation Of the school

BILE celebrate the day with appropriate
exercises.
Nothing, I think, marks more
plainly the lack of true educational
sentiment than Il naked and barren
school ground.
If Arbor Day were given over
entirely to cleaning up the school
grounds repairing the fences, setting
out trees and flowers, and sowing grass
seed, the day would become green
spot for life in the memory of the
children, If the parents and friends Of
the children would come to the school
house with well filled lunch baskets
and take IA holiday with the children it
would make the day even more profit
able, enjoyable and refining
believe in cultivating good whole
some sentiment as we go along, and u
well spent Arbor Day celebration will
help to do this.
/ desire to call the attention of the
school directors of Missouri to fact
commonly overlooked. 1t is this: A
well shaded and grassy school ground
is more than IA matter of sentiment 1t
is question of hygiene, IA question Of
the health of the children. For sani.
tary purposes, at least one half of
every school house yard should be
covered with grass and shade trees.
As a purely business proposition l
wish to recommend to every board of
directors in the state, that sum of
money be set apart this spring and
every spring for the purpose of properly
protecting their school houes play
grounds by setting out trees and SOW
ing grass seed.
The school grounds in many parts Of
Missouri can be sodded without spend
ing a cent of money by simply gather
ing from the bottom of manger in
which timothy hay has been fed few
baskets full of seed and litter and scat
tering the same over the school ground
in the early spring. Usually good
sod will be formed III two or three
seasons. Good trees however, usually
cost money. But they are worth
money.
l really think the board of directors
in every school district ought to over
see and control the whole matter rs to
the sanitation and ornamentation of
the school premises. Most respectfully
John K. Kirk, State Supt Public
Schools.

Charles Broadway Rouss of New

philanthropist, has been gradually
losing his sight, the failure of his eyes
being incurable. He said
Il will give $1,000, coo to any man

him the keys l am not in total dark
ness yet, as | still see a light mist, but

He is paying the penalty of twenty
years of overwork. Mr.. Rouss is now
60 years old. He was born in Woods
boro, Frederick county, Md, fought
under Stonewall Jackson, and after the
war came to New York pcnniless. A
goodly portion of the fortune he has
amassed has been spent in benefac-

Experimenting With Cathode Rays.

Under the direction of DR.. william
Shrader, dean of the electrical depart
ment of the State University, expert
ments are being conducted with the
Cathode OF X rays, which are receiv-
ing considerable attention from scien-
tific men through the recent discoveries
Of Roentgen. Charles T. Young and W.
g. Cope, students In the electrical en-
gineering department who in the
absence of DR.. Shrader, are conducting
the experiments have been very sue
cessful in photographing different OBJ
jects through solid matter The first
experiment was the only one that was
not successful The last plate devel-
oped shows very distinctly the skele-
ton Of mouse, the lead in pencil
and spectacles in a leather case. This
last plate had been exposed two hours.
DR.. Shrader is also commencing a
series of experiments along lines
entirely different from the Roentgen or
Cathode method.

Sharp Tilt in the Senate.

The question from Cuban independ.
ence came up unexpectedly in the son
ate when Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, pre-
sented resolution directing the pres
ident to issue proclamation recoguiz-
ing the independence of Cuba.
An objection of Mr.. Hale, of Maine,
to the request of Mr. Allen for unani-
nous consent to make speech on the
resolution, diverted matters to an
exchange of personalities inconsistent
with senatorial courtesy. The Nebraska
senator warmly announced that if Mr..
Hale objected the latter could take
warning that he would not receive
unanimous consent on any measure as
long as he (Allen) was in the senate
This brought from Mr.. Chandler of
New Hampshire, declaration that he
would give unanimous consent to nc
senator who prefaced his request with
u threat against senators in general.
Mr.. Allen retorted that his remarks
were applicable to Mr.. Hale and not
to senators in general, and that as to
Mr., Hale he had no apologies to offer.
Mr.. Hale said he would have no ven
detta with Mr., Allen, and thought
each could be in better business than
watching to pay the other off Mr..
Chandler announced that senator's were
in the habit of doing business as q
body of gentlemen, observing such
amenities as would prevail in a gentle
mans own parlor, and Mr.. Wolcott Of
Colorado, added his protest against
personalities, and Mr.. Allen closed the
incident by stating that he would post
pone his speech, adding sarcastically
that he would do this if Mr.. Hale gave
his consent to such course.

several times, and the opponents of the
resolutions cut but sorry figure when
they attempted counter demmstra-
tion. Owing to the brief time allowed
for debate, members were fortunate in
securing two or three minues to
present their views. The resolutions
adopted were as follows:
Resolved by the house of re presenta-
tives (the senate concurring), That, in
the opinion of congress, state OF
public war exists in Cuba, the parties
to which are entitled to belligerent
rights, and the United States should
observe strict neutrality between the
belligerents.
Resolved, That congress dcplores the
destruction of life and property, caused
by the war now waging in the island,
and, believing that the only permanent
solution of the contest, equally in the
interest of Spain, the people OF Cuba
and other nations, would be in the
establishment of a government by the
choice of the people of Cuba, il is the
sense of congress that the government
of the United States should use it,
good offices and friendly influences tc
that end.
Resolved, That the United States has
not intervened in struggles between
any European government and theii
colonies on this continent but, from
the very close relations between the
people of the United States and those
of Cuba, in consequence of its prox
unity and the extent of the commerce
between the two peoples, the present
war is. eutailing such lossee .upon the
people of the United States that con
gress is of opinion that the government
of the United States should be prepared
to protect the legitimate interests oI
Americans, by Intervention if neces
sary.
The senate declined to concur il
these resolutions having adopted differ
ent ones. A conference committee wa,
appointed.
