A House Signal.

Grandfathers' clocks for the hallway
are undeniably beautiful and will never
be given up by persons who appreciate
the tremendously artistic, but there
are a great many families in which
the desire for the new outweighs every
thing else In such a household this
unique novelty will find a welcome. II
is not large enough TO stand on the
floor and must be stationed on the hall
table. 1t is a miniature railway sig
nal carried out In polished oak, with
nickel or silver mountings. On one
side of the post is a clock and ON the
other is a barometer, answering to the
lights on the original signal At the top
of the post is a calendar, while run
ming down below 1t is a thermometer.
The real railway signals are replaced
in this instance by the words on either
side, I'm" and "Out," and are operated
by the nicely adjusted levers indicated
at the bottom on the standard. This
is convenient in many ways, for IL the
mistress of the house goes away she is
not obliged to notify her maid. and If
she does not want to receive callers the
little signal serves the same purpose.
AS the maid answers the door one
glance at the demure railway signal

Lawyer Wright, of Rome, Ca, de-
clares that 'of all the towards God
ever made the greatest coward unhung
is the man who joins a mob" Let the
south, which boasts largely of its cour-
age, take that view of lynching and
that kind of lawlessness will some LAY
end. And is it not the right view?

Some figures obtained by the United
States Marine Hospital bureau, compar-
ing 1896 with 1890, show favorably for
Illinois and Chicago. In 1890 the death
rate of Illinois was 2401 for every 1000
of population. In 1896 this death rate
was reduced to 14.01 per 1000 popula-
ton, showing a reduction of AZ per
cent in the death rate Of the state. In
Chicago the death rate in 1890 was
21.19 per 1000 population, and in 1898
it was only 1876 per 1000 population,
showing that Chicago, the second city
in the Union in population. made sub
stantially the same reduction in her
death rate that was made by the state
of Illinois as whole. The healthiest
city in Illinois last year was Sterling
-death-rate 4.03 per 1000; Blooming
ton +vas low-9.6S; Galesburg little bet
ter 9.58; Quincy, 1902. Comparing
Chicago last year-14.36-with other
large cities it appears it is healthier
than any of its competitors in popula-
ton. The death-rate of San Francisco
was 1916; Washington, 20.96; Atlanta,
Ca, 1891; Boston, 22.59; st. Louis,
1896; Brooklyn, 20,52; New York,
20.S6; Cincinnati, 1890; Cleveland,
14.72; Philadelphia, 20.17; and Milwau-
kee, Is. st. Paul had death rate Of
9.25 and Indianapolis 1850, while De-
troit was 1928, almost the same as
Chicago. 1t is good sign that the
death-rate is diminishing. The state of
Indiana reduced her death rate from
1876 in 1890 to 1910 in 1896. Iowa re-
duced her death rate from 14.S7 in 1890
to 1898 in 1896; Minnesota from 20.53
to 1856; Ohio from 1904 to 1882; Wis
consin from 16 to 1914.

Birds Hold the balance of Power.

In recent lecture Prof. Wilmer
Stone of Philadelphia cited many facts
to show that birds are natures great
check on the excess of insects, and that
they keep the balance between plants
and insect life. Ten thousand cater
pillars, it has been estimated, could de-
stroy every blade of grass on an acre of
cultivated ground. In thirty days from
the time it is Matched an ordinary cat
erpillar increases 10000 times in bulk,
and the food it lives and grows on is
vegetable. The insect population of a
single cherry tree infested with aphides
was calculated by promln-
ent entomologlst at no less
than 12,000,000 The bird popu-
lation Of cultivated country dis
tricts has been estimated at from 700
TO 1000 per square mile. This is small
compared with the number of insects,
yet as each bird consumes hundreds of
insects every day, the latter are pre-
vented from becoming the scourge they
would be but for their feathered enc
mics.

HOTEL IMPRON EMENTS.
What Manager James is Doing Tow
ard Making Them First-class.

Manager James continues his i'm
provements in the hotel, and has al
ready wrought wonderful change ~
the interior arrangements of the
building. Not only have all the bed
rooms been thoroughly painted, clean
ed and renovated, but some of the
rooms which were formerly unused
have been fitted up. Another improve
ment is the addition of two bath
rooms for ladies on the upper floor.
These are placed in the alcove at eth.
err end of the big corridor, and will be
great convenience. On the veranda
have been placed four tables surround
ed by mosquito proof screens, which
form nice airy rooms, where people
can sit and read, smoke and talk.
The drawing room has been refur-
nished and is airy and elegant, while
the lanai, which is such pleasant
feature of the hotel, is now in pro-
cess of redecoration. The private din
ing room has been much improved,
new burners having been put in ana
the whole room redecorated.
Manager James evidently means
business and in time will have one of
the most comfortable and elegant ho-
tells to be found this side of the Rock,

Editor Star:
Allow me through the columns Of
The star to make plea for a PR
mary school in this district. The pri-
mary school i'm this district has been
in existence now nearly eight months
and at first il was thought that no
school was necessary i'm the place. The
Board of Education reluctantly es-
tablished one, but only on the condi-
ton that private parties become re-
Sponsible for the rent of the school
room.
But it is now demonstrated that
school was needed. The number Of
children i'm attendance is an evidence
of the fact. The experimental stage
has been passed. and the government
must decide to assume entire control
of the matter and look more thorough
ly after the educational needs of the
district.
One thing that il stands in need
of, is a school building. The school
at present holds its sessions i'm II
room i'll adapted for the purpose. II
is i'm a crowded and cramped condi-
ton. The room is anything but at
tractive. The first thing that one
sees on entering the room is Il wash
basin full of water placed on chair
near the entrance. The boarded walls
are bare. the light is not the best. It
has one window which faces out upon
the street.
The room is on the ground floor If
| Il two story frame building. One one
side u fish monger holds forth, on the
other Il Chinese coffee shop; above
and in the back are tenemcntS. The
door Immediately opens upon the
street and the only play ground which
the children have is the public road.
What refining influences can be now
brought to bear upon the young mind
with such surrounding conditions?
y childS school environment has
much to do with its ideas of cleanli-
ness and department. Rude surround.
ings beget rude manners. Book learn
| ing is not everything. In fact, it may
be said that Il child receives its stron-
gest impression from its environ
ment. And what abstract IDEAS of re-
finement are received from the teach
er is all Ob!iterated by the unrefined
appearance of the school surround
ings. The school building ought 20
be as attractive and tasteful in ap-
pearance as, at least, the average
home.
In this case it is not so. It is he
low the average. There is no fault
to be found with the management of
the school. The best is being done
under the circumstances. But we
urge upon the School Board the i'm
nerative necessity of Il building for

for Pacific Coast Service.
Revenue cutter No. has been
launched at Cramps shipyard, Philadel-

the ways Miss Helen Shoemaker stepped
forward and, breaking a bottle of
champaign upon the cutters bow, said:
II christen thee Hugh McCulloch." The
launching was a success in every par
ticlllar.
The new vessel will be known as the
queen of the revenue marine" She
has been designed for service on the
Pacific coast, and will make long Alas
kan and Arctic cruises. Not only is she
the largest cutter yet planned for the
service, but she is of peculiar construc-
ton, fitted for her prospective battles
with heavy ice. Itwas necessary in her
building to make the largest magazine
bronze castings ever attempted, to serve
as stem and stern posts. Her con-
struction is Of q composite nature, the
frame being of steel and the bottom Of
five-inch planking, copper covered. She
is structurally strong, being fitted with
an unusually large number of water
tight compartments and bulkheads.
She will be equipped with four CO.
pound rapid-fre guns and four six
Founders. In addition she will have
the entirely new feature of the torpedo
tube. She is to be schooner-rigged,
with three masts, and will be capable of
making long cruises with only her sails
in use. All appliances will be modern,
including electric lighting and power
full search-light. Accommodations are
to be provided for ten officers and q

POWER OF X RAYS TESTED.
DR.. Cooke, Blind Man, Describes Many

DR.. Cooke, a Blind Man, Describes Many
Objects with Its Assistance.
Another experiment with the X ray
was tried on the blind DIR. James Il.
Cooke at Boston. One of the tests made
was the perception of objects which
were passed between X rays and the
Horoscope. When letters were held
between the light and the Horoscope,
DIR. Cooke was able to accurately de-
scribe them. He described the letter S
as two curves meeting, and when the
letter G was accidentally held so that
only part came between him and the
light, he described that part exactly,
and omitted any mention of the other.
He said most distinctly that the sensa-
ton was not that of light, as he had
conceived it. While various things
were being passed back and forth be-
tween him and the light hammer was
passed in. He instantly described it as
sense of length with mass at the
end. He was told it was hammer, and
thereafter was able to tell it whenever
it was projected between the fuoros-
cope and the light.
The letter C he described as curve
that described more than half circle,
ind was able to identify it after one
or two tests. Two pieces of glass, one
held horizontally and the. other per-
pendicularly, meeting, he instantly de-
scribed, and told Immediately that one
had described an angle of about s. de-
grees, with the other when the vertical
one was lowered.
The experiments were conducted at
the Boston University Medical school
on East Concord street.
