THE SECULAR LEAGUE.
Interesting Discussion of Public
school system and Needs.

The Secular League at its meeting yes
terday afternoon discussed the question
How Can the Common Schools of Wash
ington be Best Improved" Gen. William
Birney opened the discussion making two
criticisms on the present system.
The first was that too much time and
money were expended on the high schools
and too little upon the schools of the
lower grades. This he regarded as a cry
ing evil The other criticism was di-
rected toward the levying of tribute on
the pupils for various purposes.
Prof William NJ Colman followed. and
while compiimenting the superintendent
and the teachers in the schools as to their
efficiency. pointed out what he regarded
as defects in the methods and called
special attention to the text books.
reading extracts from school histories
which he thought were calculated to stir
up animosities and inculcate falsehood.
DIR. w. \. Croffut read report based
upon letters received from the secreta-
ries of the boards of education of about
thirty cities. showing the rates charged
by city schools for the instruction of out
side pupils. He said that Washington is
the only city which makes no charge of
this kind.
Mr.. Cheshire. a veteran teacher made
some pertinent and suggestive remarks
and was followed by w. II. Burr, who
regarded all collegiate institutions as use
less and unnecessary. Major Pechin took
the ground in favor of the high school
and college.
Replies were made by DIR. Croffut and
Gen. Birney.
DIR. Daniels for many years n member
and an officer of the Ma ional Educational
Association, made some remarks of gen.
eral and local interest and was followed
by Mr.. Kirk, president of the Secular
League, and Gen. Birney, who closed the
discussion.

reason the Shaker Digestive Cordial has

Is that It causes the food eaten to be

FIGHTING THE BUGS
What Has Been Done During the Past
Month

SAN BERNARDINO, May 3.-The work
of the horticultural commission for the
past month has been but little expense to
the county-$350.50- and the work has been
pushed in looking after the insect pests
and their parasites. Especial attention has
been paid to locating the yellow scale, a
comparatively new pest in this section.
When found, the fumigation tents are
brought into use for its humiliation. Some
nursery stock has been found infested
with the red scale, and these have been
stripped of their foliage and scrubbed with
brush and insecticide. White scale has
been located and the orchards supplied with
vedalia cardinals, a parasite that will
make short work of it's extermination.T The
San Jose scale is kept in subsection by the
use of salt, lime and sulphur as spray, the
use of blue stone and Eureka insecticide
compound having proved a complete fail
ure.
The report of the county treasurer shows
that at the 1st Of last month there was
Sill, 420.67 on hand; the receipts were
$2196.26: the expenses were $50 1885, leav-
ing a balance in the treasury Of $S3 ,32S.57.
There were In the county hospital at the
list of last month GO inmates, and 30 have
been admitted, died, rs were discharged
and u remain. The expenses were: Sal
aries 1902; groceries. s192.97; water. $50;
meats, $133.29; medicines, $7O.35; miscellane-
Gus, s55.S5, making a total Of sT74.96, a cost
Of 351s cents per day for each inmate. In
addition, the institution fed "a meals to
tramps. The permanent improvements for
the month amounted to $10S. The county
cared for 25 indigents, on cash basis, the
last month, at an expense of s2O3.16, and 81
on merchandise basis for $44O.50, or a total
of s643.66 for the month.

SAN BERNARDINO, May 3.-There was
large gathering at Masonic hall Monday
evening, for, in addition to the regular
monthly meeting, it was given out that a
historic relic, in the shape of a cane, would
be presented in Judge John I. Knox. The
cane was brought from Russia by Judge
Ames, who was a member of this lodge, and
whose death caused the first Masonic
funeral to be celebrated in the city. 1t was
his wish that the cane, a blackthorn, with
ivory head and silver band, should be car
ried by the oldest Mason Of the lodge, and,
after his death, 1t was presented to the
lodge by Mrs. d. 7. Huston, and presented
by the lodge to George Lord. ST.; returned
to the lodge by his widow after his death,
and last night presented to Judge John L.
Knox. now nearly 90 years of age, who has
been member of the Masonic fraternity
for Ga years. The presentation speech was
made by Past Master T. ]. Wilson, sr.
The cane has three gold plates, bearing

TELEGRAPHY AT SEA
Invention by Which Sound Waves
Will Take the Place of Wires

The correspondence Prof. l.. l. Blake Of
Kansas university has had with the army
and navy departments of the United tSates
government in regard to his successful ex-
periments in wireless telegraphy and sig
mailing at sea has been of such a conf
Dental nature that the inventor Is loath
to talk on the subject. He said today,
however, that he would not be surprised
to be called east at any time to take ac-
tive charge Of work along the line of his
invention. While conducting some sea sig
mailing experiments off Sandy Hook a
couple of summers ago, the government
lent it's aid, and Captain Schley, now in
charge of the flying squadron, was the
officer associated with Prof Blake. Schley
watched the success Of the experiment
with much interest and reported to the
government what had been done, and it
was the knowledge thus gained that has
caused the government to open commune
cations with Blake at this time.
In his Sandy Hook work, besides his as
ISOLATION with Schley, Blake became init
mately acquainted with Captain Wild, the
present commander of the ram Katahdin,
and with Fighting Bob" Evans, and they
have also reported to the government the
SuCCGSS OI Ills WOIhs
For some months past the navy depart
ment Of the English government has been
in communication with Prof. Blake seek
ing information regarding his successful
experiments, but this correspondence has
only reached the preliminary inquiry
stage. The machine that Prof. Blake has
successfully conducted his wireless teleg-
raphy experiments with must have re-
ceiver similar to that of a telephone.
The receiver is very sensitive appa-
ratus, which is operated by the striking of
the sound waves against it, which in turn
operates the telegraph instrument as per.
fectly as can be done by wire. Tho sound
waves will pass through brick or stone
walls, wood, iron and any other substance,
and still operate the receiver as easily as
before.
Prof. Blake said that he did not believe
the new discovery would ever take the
place of the present method Of telegraphy,
by signaling from the shore to ships ten
to fifteen miles from the coast when the
view was obscured by fog or violent at
mospheric disturbances, and would be of
inestimable value in coast defense work,
in which 1t is now proposed tou Sc it. With
wire running up the mast of a vessel
and receiving machine in the hold Of
the ship sound waves sent from the shore
in striking the wire would make tho COM
munication as perfect as desired.-Chicago
