No Systematic Instruction In r. reforms
atOry Institutions.
During September I visited several
of the reformatory institutions to see
what was being done for the younger
boys in regard to manual training, says
a writer in the Altruist Interchange
found very little systematic instruc-
tion. The principal occupations were
Gaming chairs, knitting stockings by ma
echinery and other purely mechanical
work In none of the schools was there
systematic instruction in manual train
ing as it is now carried on in education
al institutions. In fact, there were so
many young boys who could not foe kept
busy at machine work that large
part of the time which might have been
Csefully employed was spent in idle
ness. During these hours the boys
found occupations on their own ac-
count for their hands to do to limited
extent.
In one Institution the boys had taken
from their hat bands the broad steel
wire which kept them in shape, broken
it into pieces from three to six inches
In length, ground these upon the door
steps or walls of the building and used
them as knives to whittle such bits of
wood as they could pick up about the
yard or secure from the janitors when
they made the fires. They made han
die by winding on the ravelings of
stockings or binding two bits of wood
on either side. Little boats, paper
knives, household furniture, were rude
1y shaped by these crude instruments.
Some OF the boys were put there for
wreclxing trains, for burglary, ETC., and
their tendencies were sometimes ex-
pressed in the things tHey tried to
make. For instance, pistols, small
knives and weapons such as boys might
use in Indian raids, etc.

Remarkable in many ways, the "tul-
gnat' of the far west is most curious
Tor its almost total lack ofweight. The
little insect has a nearly microscopic
body but a relatively huge spread of
wings, which gives it the apparent
size of a mosquito. In some parts of
California ''tule gnats'' swarm so
densely about burning lamps that sew
eral times during an evening the dead
must be cleared away to give the light
chance. In brightly illumined stores
the gnats are veritable pests, and it was
In a Lake county (Cal.) drug store that
curious experiment was recently
made. AS many gnats were collected
as could be heaPed upon pan of the
aPothecary's scales; the smallest
weight in use to measure the most deli

the county to introduce a steel shirt Of
mail as a protection from the bullets Of
moonshiners. He came through the fight
with scarcely mark upon him. He stood
within so yards of the men who We're
firing at him, and took the desperate
chance that their aim would be so good
that they would not miss his chest. The
two moonshiners were amazed, and think
ing there was some supernatural protec-
ton to Wooten, dropped their guns at the
word of command and were easily cap
tured. Wooten's undershirt is made Of
small steel rings overlapping each other,
something on the order of the feathers on
bird. 1t is three-ply, the rings being adj
justed so that the garment is flexible,
and yet the steel wire of which the rings
are composed resisted the impact Of a
44-calber bullet fired from rifle at
distance of SO yards.
