A UNIQUE PLAN.
at Washington Are Taught
History,

Public school officials of Washington
have adopted unique plan of teaching
their scholars history and amilarizng
them with the workings of the govern
ment, as well as other branches Of
study. The scheme is for the teacher
of each school to take her scholars on
a jaunt TO the capitol. or TO the suburbs
TO study geology, history, and any
other branch of study which may be
chosen. Since the opening of the spring
weather hundreds of children, accom-
panied by their teachers. flock TO the
capitol TO listen II the statesmen debate
important questions. Hardly a day
passes but 500 or 600 children crowd the
galleries TO listen TO the debates and
roam around statuary hall and study
the marble figures of Clay, Lincoln, Cal
houn, Webster, and Grant and learn
something of the characteristics of each
man. Then they overrun the rotunda
and feast their eyes upon the huge
paintings which depict the historical
epochs of this country. From here a
visit is made TO the historic senate
chamber TO watch and listen to the
grave, deliberate senate. Before leaving
the building they never fail to spend
considerable time before the picture of
Perry's battle on Lake Erie and gather
inspiration from the magnificent cour-
age displayed by that gallant sailor.
One day last week 200 girls clad in white
dresses invaded the capitol and, as the
house was not in session, took posses
sion of the hall, occupied the speakers
chair, and did about as they pleased.
They presented pretty sight and the
day will live long in their memories.

Blue Being Replaced at Tampa, Fla.
by Gray for Tropical
Campaigning.

The time-honored blue uniform Of the
army is being replaced at Tampa, Fla,
by the more somber gray. The cloth
used is light twilled linen, of gray
brown color, selected after much con.
sideration by the authorities at Wash
ington as most appropriate for tropical
campaigning.
The former heavy oblong shoulder
strap is abandoned, being replaced by a
triangular strip of white duck, with in
sigma of metal. The collar, cuffs and
facings are also white duck, which, with
a broad plat in the back and four out.
side pockets, gives a more elaborate eff
feet than any field uniform previously
in use in our army.
This uniform is not original in this
country, as many foreign armies have
one similar, both in color, design and
material. Small advance consignments
Of these uniforms, which will be issued
TO enlisted men. have arrived nj the
quartermaster's office at Tampa. OH.
GERS there hope that the entire army

OBTAINS UNEXPECTED RESULT
Experiment by Young Edison Ex-
plodes Bomb In His Desk at
Electrical Exhibition.

\ singular accident at the electrical
exhibition at Madison Square garden
the other day resulted in the partial
establishment of the desk of Thomas
y. Edison, Jr, and severe shock TO the
nerves of its owner. One of the most in
terestng features of the exhibition has
been demonstration of the Clarke
wireless teegraphy system, illustrating
by means of small tank of water and
miniature gunboats how mines having
no cable connection with firing sta
tion on the shore may be exploded in
harbor.
Mr. Edison was experimenting be-
fore the exposition was open to the pub
lie TO find a method of exploding the
mines one at time. Some IS feet away
from the task was Mr.. Edison's desk, in
drawer of which one of the small
bombs used as mines in the tank was
stored. Through the divergence Of the
WAGES, as is supposed, the bomb in the
desk was exploded, reducing the desk
TO kindling wood and damaging porta-
BILE electric light set on il. Splinters
flew about Mr.. Edison, but he was I'M
injured except for the shock of the ex-
plosion. In the desk number of vaIu-
able papers belonging to Mr.. Edison
were blown to bits.

Hens as Insect Destroyer-.

4 flock OF fowls will forage over .
large field daily, and if the number of
insects destroyed by them could be no.
ticed, 1t would be surprise, as they
do service in that respect equal to the
small birds. Chickens also work in
dustriously for insects, and destroy
thousands. The food costs the farmer
nothing, and the exercise of foraging
keeps the fowls in good laying condi-
ton. To make the fowls more effective
as insect destroyers, they should re-
ceive no food except a light meal at
night, as it is better to allow them to
start out in the morning somewhat
hungry.-American Gardening.

nllDAiU.,S OF EGGS.
An Unprecedented Run of WaIl-EyeA
pike Reported in IA Min
nesotn Stream.

The greatest haul Of fish eggs ever
made in America, and probably in the
world, has just been completed by the
state fish commission at Pike river,
north of Duluth, MINI. The commits
sioner returned few days ago with
10 cans of eggs, which he Immediately
semitic the state hatchery, near st. Paul.
These 10 cans contained 100000 eggs
each, all apparently in good condition,
all artificially taken from the females,
and ali artifcially impregnated. 1t is
the experience of the hatchery that
about 80 per cent. of them will hatch,
and the commission expects to be able
TO see 100,000,000 young wall-eyed pike
later among the rivers and lakes of the
state.
Pike river is famed among fishermen
for its spring runs of fish to the spawn
lag grounds. This spring during the
stay there ofthe egg gatherers the fish
were running so plentifully that it was
difficult TO navigate n canoe, and per-
son could reach out of his boat and pick
up the fish as fast as he could throw
them into the boat. They seemed to
form a dense mass of steadily moving
fish extending the width of the stream,
and within an inch or two of the sur
face. For q week the fish ran steadily
up stream in dense crowds, and many
millions must have passed the states
nets.
Besides the catch of wall-eyed pike
for the state the government hatchery
at Duluth annually requires 1OO,0o0,00o
whitefsh eggs and from 70,O00,00O to
1oO,oo0,OOo eggs of various other varie-
ties. The fish resulting from the hatch
ing Of all these vast numbers of eggs
are deposited almost entirely in waters
of Minnesota. With its 10000 lakes, its
200 miles of shore line along Lake SUI
perior and its network Of rivers, the
state is an ideal one for fish propoga-
ton, and the commission has lately
mapped out comprehensive scheme of
improvement under which, In few
years, it is expected the water area Of
the state will produce more actua;
wealth to the acre than the land area.

to relieve his terrible cough gave him a

dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
