SeattleiteS vii be treated on Monday
and Tuesday evenings 10 one OF the most.
If not the most. instructive illustrated lee
lures that it has ever been their fortune to
hear. and at the same tine they viii have
an opportunity OF lending a helping hand
for a worthy cause and one that is as Gi-
rsct.y TO their Interests as il is to that of
their children-the library fund of the Sc
attic high school. DR.. Gregory De kannet,
the Russian newspaper cores pondent.
who is visiting Seattle and the great
Northwest in general. has consented 10 de-
liver two lectures for the benefit OF the
high school library fund. as has already
been announced.
DR.. De Kannet is noted all over the
Unio5d States as one Of the best informed
men on Russia, and his prominence as a
newspaper man naturally gives him
scope for such work that is not enjoyed
by men la other professions. both IN his
Own country and elsewhere He has seen
the entire word, has studied It's peoples,
their habits. customs and characters; has
delved into the school systems of every
country on The globe: knows every city Of
the world. and II may be truthfully stated
that every city knows him. and knows him
fayorably, too. He has occupied. IN con-
nectiou with the Russian press. a distinct
position as 6 travelling correspondent, hav-
ing been prominently connected with the

Dr. De Kannet has made innumerable
friends among the promoters Of education
in the United States, as ne has always
been ready 10 offer his services 10 con-
tribute toward, the development OF the
schools. and has always been first 10 an
swer to the needs OF the schools Of the
country which ne holds dear. next TO his
native land. While IN San Francisco he
lecrured az the Metropolitan temple. TO one
of the largest audiences that had ever
gathered in that spacious building, for the
benefit OF the teachers fund. and for that
has earned the lasting gratitude OF every
teacher in san Francisco. That is but one
OF the many occasions which might be
cited 10 elucidate the interest this noted
Russian has displayed in Educational

Women in University Life.

One of the reports of the educational
department in Enlgand has specisl
table devoted to university life. In
quiries have been instituted as to the
arrangements made for women students
at 1872 of the universities of the civil
lied nations in both hemispheres, and
139 replies were received. The ques-
tions asked were: Are women admit
ted as members of the universities
Are they admitted on the same terms
as men? Are they admitted to lecturesi
Are they admitted to examinations!
Are they eligible for university degreesi
1t is significant of the advanced liber-
alism of Scotland and Wales that their
five universities have no answer but
eyes" to make save as regards certain
medical courses in the north country.
Australia, India and Canada also
answer Eyes" and Toronto proudly
says: "No advantage is granted to
men which is not open to women. "
New Zealand gives practically the same
reply. France, Belgium, Holland,

A Device that Does Away With Road
side Pumps and Tanks.

Device that Does Away With Road
side Pumps and Tanks.
A recent improvement in sprinkling
wagons bids fair to revolutionize road
and street sprinkling in the country
where there is no water system to sup
ply water from hydrants. Heretofore
it has been the custom to erect pump
ing plants, or to pipe water from dis
tant points to stations along the road at
such distances that the load at one of
these stations would last until the
wagon reached the next station on it's
trip. This plan makes necessary the
expense of piping, tanks, wells, horse
powers, etc., and has always been a
very considerable item of expense, and
more or less of an obstacle to having
roads we'll watered.
The Improvements consists in attach
ing gasoline engine and centrifugal
pump on platform at the rear of the
sprinkling wagon so that water can be
taken from any convenient source. A
suction hose with foot valve is attached
to the pump which can be lowered into
tank, creek, watering trough, or any
water source. The wagon driver then
starts the engine, and in from six to
ten minutes his wagon is filled.

SOME RECENT INVENTIONS.

Clothes lines can be tightened by
means of drum with ratchet wheel
at one end with hook set in the SUD
rope is drawn tight by means of a
lever.
In a new mouse trap a metal plat
form supports a wire bait-holder, the
platform and wire being attached to an
lelectric-light circuit to kill the mouse
as soon as he completes the circuit by
eating the bait.
Door-knobs are being made in two
hollow sections with a bell mechanism
inside to operate striking hammer
which hits the outer or bell section Of
the knob when a button in the outside
knob is pressed.
Ink can be quickly made from a new
preparation which comes in small disks
and can be mixed with vinegar and
soda or like material to produce effer-
vescent action and liquid ink when the
preparation dissolves.
ed by new attachment consisting of
a cylinder in the car below the win
dow, with rod running up to the un-
der side of the window frame. By
opening valve in the supply pipe air
is allowed to flow into the cylinder to
force the rod up and push the window
open.
To prevent horses running away
where there is no hitching-post new
device has two light chains which are
attached at one end to the wagon
wheels, the opposite ends being fas-
tened to the lines, SO that when the
horses start the wheels will pull the
chains down and draw the reins in.
An Englishman has patented new
driving mechanism for bicycles, in
which treadles are used to produce the
power, two rods being bolted on the
fork crown. in front, and extending
back to hold the pedals. Chains or
straps are wound on spring drums on
the back shaft and fastened to the ends
of the pedal rods, to be drawn out and
propel the wheel when the pedals are
forced down.

The illustration shows wagon and
pumping outfit just completed by the
Hercules Gas Engine Co., of San Fran.
cisco and now in use by the Supervisors
of Tulare county upon the roads near
Visalia.
1t consists of an improved type of an
ordinary sprinkling wagon, and plat
form built at the rear of the tank upon
which stands 21a FL. P. Special Her
cules Gasoline Engine geared to s.
inch centrifugal pump. From this
pump runs rubber suction hose and
discharge pipe into the tank. The tank
holds $4,000 gallons of water which
will be filled by the pump in six min
utes under ordinary lift, or not to ex-
ceed ten minutes lifting 20 feet, and
at cost of about 8 cents for each fill
ing. The uses to which this improve
ment can be put are not confined to
road sprinkling, but 1t is applicable to
any purpose where water has to be
hauled, as, for instance, supplying
threshing machinery or conveying water
from one point to another for any pur-
pose. The simplicity of the engine
makes its use perfectly safe and relia.
BILE, as it is automatic in action, all
that is needed being to open the valve
admitting the gasoline. and to give the
wheel a start with the hand. 1t is
durable and not at all likely to get out
of order, requiring neither engineer nor
machinist to keep it in condition for
work.
Sprinkling country roads has been
considerable of problem, and it is be-
lieved that this improvement will go
far towards an economical solution of
it. The Hercules Gas Engine Works OF
San Francisco, furnish these wagons
and engines in any desired capacity, and
fully guarantee them in every way.

Oh, the spoil and greed in the world Of
men
And the strife that lives forever,
Are lost in the ways and dear old days
That the years can never sever.
I'd pass the haunts and marts Of men,
And all its joys, moreover,
To live and dream one boyish dream
When l was a barefoot rover.
The shady lane, by the rip ming grain,
And the meadows again to wander;
The willow'd rill beyond the hill,
To the pickerel pond ''down yonder."
To lie in the cool of the shade and dream
My youthful dreams all over,
I'd give all the world has doled to me
To be a barefoot rover.
The bees and birds, the lowing herds,
The muddy cattle wallow;
The hollow stump where squirrels skunk
And the nuts in "chipmunk hollow"
The faint, sweet smell from the ferny, dell
Where the wild fow'rs used to hover
And the woods, and brooks, and secret
hooks
Were mine-a barefoot rover.
The chirp of birds, the lowing herds,
And the humble bees dull dronlng
Is music valid from the surging throng
With it's never ceasing moaning.
And I'd pass the haunts and marts OF men.
And it's arts and joys, moreover,
To lie and dream one boyish dream

Revealed by the Microscope.

A ready means of distinguishing be.
tween fresh meat and that which has
been frozen, a writer points out, is fur
nished by the microscope. A small
quantity of the blood or meat juice is
examined, and if this is from fresh flesh
numerous red corpuscles normal in col
or and floating in clear serum are seen;
while in the case of blood from flesh
that has been preserved by freezing the
corpuscles have dissolved in the serum
and not single normal red corpuscle
can be seen. The liquid must be ex-
amined before there has been any dry

Oil to Law Dust.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
it is stated, is about to make the ex
pertinent of sprinkling a specially pre-
pared oil on it's line between Lanhams
and Deanewood, on the Baltimore and
Potomac Division, near Washington, as
a means of reducing the dust nuisance.
The oil is distributed along the roadbed
by means of a specially constructed
car. The ''spreader" is a comparatively
simple contrivance, and, with gum hose
and pipes, is connected to an ordinary
oil tank car filed with the oil. The
spreading of the oil over the roadbed is
accomplished at the rate of about four
miles an hour. The spreader is so con-
structed that not particle of the oil
falls on the rails. This, of course, is a
necessary precaution, since it would be
impossible for a locomotive to haul it's
train were the rails covered with oil.
Between 1000 and 5000 gallons of oil
are required for each mile of double
track, and it is said that one applica-
ton will allay the dust and dirt for a
year. Should the experiment prove sat
isfactory, it is probable the entire line
between Washington and New York
will be sprinkled.

Trapped.

Animals caught in traps have some
times managed to escape with trap and
ALL but in most cases the trap has in
the long run been the death of them.
This was the fate of an eagle that had
flown away with trap dangling from
one of it's legs. For several weeks
neither bird nor trap was seen, till one
day, a gentleman noticed a curious OBJ
ject hanging from a tree-branch.
Climbing up to find out what it was, he
discovered that it was the eagle, quite
dead. The peg and chains by which
the trap had been fastened in the
ground had become entangled among
the boughs and the poor eagle had been
slowly starved to death.
