Eldorado Republican:-No man who
lives on meat was ever known to lick
his wife or ask for a divorce. Adam got
into a row, right off, because he had no
hog meat, butter. or black bass. Napo-
leon lost Waterloo because the allied
forces had bacon for breakfast the
morning OF the fight. The French had
vegetable soup. The south had to give
in at Appomatt0x because it was out OF
meat. No war can be successfully waged
without hog meat.
Americans are the most frisky people
on earth because they eat the most hog
meat.

The Newspaper as college

The opinion entertained by a great
many more or less preiudiced persons
that a good newspaper Office is the best
school going seems to gain more justif-
cation from certain passages in the
newly issued vOlumn of essays and dis
courses by President Eliot. Discussing
wherein modern education has failed to
do all that was expected Of it, DR.. Eliot
says:
These. then, are the four things in
which the individual youth should be
thoroughly trained, il his Judgment and
reasoning power are 10 be Systematically
developed; observing accurately; record
ing correctly; comparing grouping and
inferrlng justly; and expressing cogently
the result OF these mental operations.
To observe accurately and record cor.
rectly are the particular things in which
every reporter for a good newspaper is
drilled every day, and he does not gel
far in his business without getting
practice, almost as reg ilar, in compari-
son, inference and cogpnt expressions
Ii practice in these days is the best
thing for the judgment and reasoning
power, we ought to be thankful that Sc
much OF it goes to equip the newspaper

tending all creation. There is no class

aerial voyage, talked with me on the
prospects of the expedition based on the
facts of Andree's ascent. DR.. Ekholm
declined to go this year because he con-
sidered that the impermeability of the
balloon was unsatisfactory. He pointed
out that from the day the balloon was
fully inflated it lost 81 cubic meters of
gas every "a hours, representing a
diminution in carrying capacity OF Sc
Kilograms per day. This showed that
the imperviousness of the balloon had
not been essentially increased since last
year.
Besides this daily escape, various cir
clunstances led to a certain loss of gas
in the ascent itself, necessitating a cor
responding sacrifice of ballast. After
making allowances for these losses of
gas and taking into consideration the
fact that in the ascent parts of the drag
ropes were lost and that the balloon
at once rose to height of $4,000 to PSI
900 feet, DIR. Ekholm formed the follow
ing conclusions: The longest time
which the balloon would remain in the
air would be from % to "a days, and
even less than that if mountains exceed
ing the height of those attained at the
start had to be crossed. DR.. Ekholm de-
clares himself skeptical with regard to
the supposed loss of the balloon in the
White sea, but he proposes, neverthe-
less, that a search expedition should
be sent to the White sea from Vardoe.
Since it was reported that Andree had
provided himself with number of hom-
ing pigeons which he intended to dis
patch from his balloon while en- route
to the north pole, with information as
to his success or otherwise, 1t has been
impossible to pick up paper without
finding a telegram from some part OF
the globe announcing the capture of e
s'homer" which it is invariably suggest
ed may have come from the pole oil
| whereabouts.
One thing may be depended upon
however, and that is that not a single
pigeon that Andree took with him il
the balloon has yet been heard from
The stories to the contrary are unblush
ing falsehoods.

pathogenic bacteria. DIR. Marpmann,
of Liepsig, has lately published the re-
suits of examination of CT samples of
ink used in the schools. Saprophytes,
bacteria and microeocci were found in
most of them. In two instances the
doctor succeeded in cultiyating bac-
illus from migrosin ink, which proved
fatal to mice within four days. But
most of the bacteria are harmless, and
it has been aseertained by the actual
experiment of some eminent New York
scientists that in many varieties of ink
used in that city, which they tested,
there were no disease germs. However,
a pen which has been dipped in ink
should never be moistened with the
tongue. ~.
