BIRD. In Every Sea.

There is no part OF the ocean that is
without birds. The seaman plows the
waters with his craft; one boundless
expanse of sky and water meets his
glance. no ship. no boat is to be seen
but there sweeps before him that
mighty flyer the wandering albatross
which knows neither distance nor soll-
tude, regardless alike OF storm or calm.
So It Is with those other ocean wan
derers. the stormy petrcls. Like the al
batross. they have no distinct circle
OF distribution. They wander over all
the seas. and cover such enormous dis
tanccs in days flight that no distinct
limits can be assigned to their habita-
tions. They are mt home. and brave
the storm In every latitude and In ev-
cry sea.

The Hardest Metal.

The hardest metal is titanium. This
metal was first recognized by Mr.. Gre
gor In 1891, but Its properties were not
satisfactorily determined until 1922,
when DR.. Wollaston examined it and
described it as 1t occurred in it's per-
feet metallic and crystallized state, in
the Stag of an iron furnace at Merthyr
Tydfil in South Wales. The form of
the crystals is the cube, their color re-
sembles that of bright copper. they are
sufficiently hard to scratch rock crystal
and their specific gravity is 5.3. Ac-
cording to NJ. Dumas. the order Of met
ais with reference to hardness is as fol-
lows: Chromium. rhodium. which

Peculiar Condition.
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Grace Espy Patton has received let
ter from an indignant. citizen Of Meek
er, in which complaint is made that
the order and decorum Of the school
is seriously threatened because the
school board permits the desks to be
torn up and the school used for a dane
ing academy, says the Denver Times.
After describing tho condition the
school was in, the writer says: This
was all the result Of using the school
house for public dancing hall. Know
ing that an orderly school could not
be kept in this sort of building, ask
ed permission to arrange and fasten
the desks. This was given, and la
bored for days (Saturdays) to get this
accomplished and now have very tidy
room. The board of directors then de-
cided, SO I was informed, that the
school building should not be used for
any purpose, except such as would
not require the removal or disturbance
of the furniture. But now some up
start takes a notion that they must
have another dance in the schoolhouse,
and, in spite of my earnest protest to
the board, seems to have secured their
consent. The county superintendent
nor the board of directors have provid-
ed me with a copy of the school laws
Of Colorado. hence am unable to Judge
whether it Is lawful or not to use a
public building for dancing purposes;
but 1t seems to me that even II it is
not contrary to the letter of the law,
it certainly must be to the spirit of the
law. You well know that any public
gathering in district, especially any
thing like dance, is bound to draw of
the minds and attention of many pu-
pills from their school work, thus de-
moralizing and antagonizing the work
Of the school. 1t Is a common occur
renee here for little girls of IL to IA
years of age to go to dances and dance
the whole night. You can we'll rnder-
stand the damnable influence upon ten
der young girls and boys of such do
ings. l think, too, that when such
thing as dance is held right in the
schoolhouse the evil influence is doub-
ly great. You will oblige me greatly
by giving your decision or the law as
to the lawfulness or unlawfulness of
using public buildings in this state for
dancing. l do not know whether the
desks will be torn from the floor or not
for the dance tonight, but, If such is
done, can the teacher be compelled by
law to teach again before the school
building is restored to the same order
ly condition as that in which I left it?
1t must be remembered, in considering
this question, that a public dance, as
conducted here, is public evil. There
has never been a dance held there but
that empty liquor bottles have been
found on the premises or right in the
pupils desks. Please oblige me by q
prompt reply to my questions"

divine right. He did not recognize
that it was the privilege of others to
aspire and when he failed to secure the
tempting prize he simply did as he had
threatened to do, left the party and has
spent the time since in seeking his
revenge. His talk about clinging to
principles is gauzy and absurd. Had
the republican convention before which
he was last candidate given him what
he asked there is no doubt that he
would now be a member of that party
and as willing champion of the gold
standard as any one. Had Mr.. Lyon
been inclined toward fiatism there had
been any number of opportunities for
him to leave his old associates in a
manly manner and assume new leader
ships with some consistency. AS it
was he desired to be paid to remain
with his party, but the price was too
high and he floated away disappoint-
ed, churlish, disconnected man and he
would sacrifice his present associates
just as quickly, if he could discern an
advantage for Mr.. LYON in so doing.
1t is a strange fact that Weaver,
Finn, and Lyons are disgruntled and
disappointed republicans. They out
grew their usefulness to the republi-
can party and thai they have been ac-
cepted so readily by the democracy
