NOTES On EVENTS.

The election returns, throughout the
country indicate an increased
strength OF the Republican party in
the Senate. The division of power in
the House is not clearly settled, al
though the latest dispatches show a
Republican majority.
The increased strength of the Re-
publicans will enable the party to carry
out its expansion policy, so far as trea-
dependent upon the joint legislation of
both houses, the execution of its POI
LEY will depend upon the later returns
Of the votes, and the possible increase
of Democratic representatives.
lfitappears that the Republicans will
not control the next House, there will
be much and rapid legislation on sub
jects connected with the expansion po-
| icy. The status of Hawaii will be
quickly declared, and proper legisla-
ton enacted at once, in order TO fore
stall Democratic opposition in the next
House. This condition of affairs may
take us out of the present uncertainty
regarding our future political condi-
ton. On the other hand, it may lead
to some hasty and unwise legislation
about our affairs
The election of Colonel Roosevelt,
by about 10000 majority is in fact a
triumph in the interests of good gov
eminent. But the majority is not sat
isfactory. 1t should have been 100000
instead Of 10000. No doubt Plat
knitted" him, but could not drive the
knife into a vital spot. The decrease
OF the Republican vote by $1,000 in
Greater New York. simply shows that
the machine was directed by Plat not
to help Roosevelt. Besides, Colonel
Roosevelt made some injudicious re-
marks about the volunteers which.
their friends resented. Owing also, to
lne Canal frauds, the Mugwump vote
was not heartily given TO the Repub-
lican candidate.
There was some nope by the Demo-
Gratis that the mismanagement of mill
tary campaigns, in the matter OF the
care Of the soldiers, would increase the
Democratic vote. But the people have
roughly replied to the Democrats:
you can't manage military cam
paign any better than the Republic
cans have"
The success of the Republican ticket
in Pennsylvania. in spite Of the pro-
dlgious efforts Of the reformers, shows
that the sense Of the people Is that
Republican rule, even II It is not as
clean as 1t might be, Is better than
Democratic rule.
The meetings of the Peace Commits
sioners in Paris indicate that Spain
still continues to struggle for better
terms. She is in a vice. For, II her
commissioners withdraw, 1t means the
loss OF the Philippines without the
least compensation. The reports about
European interference still continue,
but It is altogether probable that they
will not NEEDLE with the American
pigeon" 1t simply won't pay.
SPANS only hope now is in the re-
action against expansion that the vol
unteer troops may raise in the United
States, on the ground that they have
had fun enough in the Philippine
swamps.

the portion OF the cannon most likely
to become weak. This means that the
Jacket is fitted over the larger steel
cylinder at the breech end of the gun.
The gun proper consists of long CEN
tral steel cylinder, technically known
as the tube. over the tube a number
OF steel hoops are shrunk. Some of the
Jackets weigh as much as $4,000 pounds.
The greatest care must be taken in
fitting the hoops and jackets. The
slightest mistake in calculation often
means the loss of thousands Of dollars.
When all is in readiness the jacket
is put in a vertical position in the
centre of cylindrical fire-brlck fur
mace. Here il is expanded, being heat
ed to a temperature of 700 degrees
Fahrenheit. The brick furnace is in
closed In an iron cylinder, with a con-
siderable space between and a heavy
iron cover over the top of both. The
Jacket usually remains in the cylinder
about thirty hours During that time
the greatest care Is exercised to pre-
vent any foreign particles of any kind
from becoming amalgamated with the
metal. Meanwhile the gun tube has
been put into the shrinking pit muzzle
down. Here also, the incest care must
be observed for should the gun eX-
pand a fraction of an inch the entire
process might be seriously affected.
When all is in readiness the Jacket is
quickly measured and aligned, and then
taken up by one of the big cranes and
lowered over the breech of the gun.
The operation is most delicate one.
After the gun and it's Jacket have re-
mained in the pit for about fifty hours
the tube and Jacket are placed In one
of the largest lathes and turned down
to receive the hoops. These hoops are
heated and expanded and shrunk on
while the unfinished gun is still in a
horizontal position. All the work of
handling is done by the big crane.
After the gun is properly jacketed,
hooped, and turned down it is rifed
This is a slow and delicate process. All
| of these processes require time, skill
| and patience; but when the gun at last
| is finished 1t is a deadly thing of
| beauty.

EDUCATING THE HAND.
Cooking in the Public Schools o1
Chicago

From the Chicago Record.
The Chicago board of education is
moving along the lines of educational
progress in making provision for the
Introduction of domestic science
cooking and sewing-into the public
schools OF that city. Experimental
ventures have already been made in
three of the schools. notably the Koz-
mnski, which have been attended with
good results. 1t is the intention of
the board TO introduce domestic science
the coming year into sixteen other
schools, distributed throughout the
city. 1t is TO be assumed, therefore
that the teaching of cooking and sew
ing henceforth will be a regular part
of the educational work of the Chi
cagO public school system.
The purpose of the public school sys-
TEN is to prepare children of both
sexes for usefulness to themselves and
to society throughout life. For this
many things are necessary besides the
ability to read, write and cipher, and
a knowledge of the written branches.
No girl who expects TO be the head
of household when she becomes 4
woman can be considered properly
educated unless she knows something
about cooking and sewing, especially
the former, and that regardless of
whether or not she may ever be called
upon to do her own work. Among
the less Well-tO-do this knowledge is
of even more importance. As the girls
of such families grow up many of
them are obliged of necessity to do
housework. With many such, cooking
and sewing becomes one of the chief
occupations of life, and in too many
cases it is entered upon without any
preparation whatever. The ability to
cook and sew is an accomplishment
which may properly constitute a part
of education as well as any other.
The teaching of domestic science in
the public schools will do much to
improve conditions in many homes and
to raise the standard of comfort and
health without increasing the cost of
living.
The board of education is also doing
well in increasing the number of kim
dergartens and manual training CEN
tcrs, The kindergarten and the man
ual training school are important feat
ures of modern education.
