Incandescent Lamp for Minors.

The one disadvantage in employing
incandescent lamps in coal mines, now
that the installation of current is US
ually made for the purpose of operating
electrical cutters or electrical locomo-
tives, is the possibility of the ignition
of the fire damp should the globe be
broken by a blast or being struck. To
obviate the possibility of such an ex-
plosion a German inventor proposes
to provide the lamp base with a spring
switch and mount the lamp against a
flexible diaphragm, so that should the
lamp receive a jar the spring will be
released thus cutting out the current.
The whole device is also protected by
hemispherical glass globe.

THI6 oIRL IUNS A SAW MIL

Miss Amelia Judson is saw miller
in the heart of the Williams mountain,
Arizona Though she Is a college-bred
girl, a graduate of Cornell university,
she is as expert at her trade today as
any Iumberman in the Arizona woods.
She can direct a logging team or run a
circular saw-in fact, do any of the
numerous things necessary to be done
to convert huge trees into pine wood
boxes, for that is the particular product
for which the Judson Mills are famed.
How it came about Is the story of an
American girls pluck and energy and
her ability to rise to the necessities OF
the hour. 1t was the means of saving
a fortune for her mother and herself
Andrew B. Judson was her brother. He
left st. Louis, where he lived some six
or seven years ago, to try to make MS
fortune in Northern Arizona. He had
some little money left to him by an
uncle who died in Missouri, and de-
termined to invest 1t in developing the
VESTS vast resources. He settled in
Cooonmo county, Arizona, about thirty
miles from Williams and hit upon
plan that promised a fruitful invest
ment.
He bought extensive lumber lands,
erected a mill and began the manufac-
ture of pine boxes to supply the Cali
fornia fruit trade. From the start he
found a ready market for his product
and yearly made money. In June, 1898,
he was stricken with typhoid fever.
His mother and sister hurried to his
side, but they could not save him. He

tracts entitled that meant the ruination
Of the AVN if they were not satisfac-
torily contaminated. This Miss Amelia
decided to accomplish. She took hold
of the business, called upon her men
for renewed e4eftions and met the con-
tracts. Then sha studied every detail
of the trade carefully, and today can
direct the affairs of the Arm as salts

With certainty may it be asserted
that, did the patrons of public educa-
ton but realize the Importance to them
and to the state of providing better in
struction for children, they could not
remain silent longer, but would rise up
in their might and demand the remov-
al from the profession of every boy and
every girl, and every man and every
wcman who cannot, at least does not,
teach as the conditions of the American
common wealth require. With rare ex-
ceptions the "civil service" idea has
found little encouragement in state ed
ucation. That it exists in some of our
higher institutions under corporate con.
rtol to fair extent cannot be disputed;
that it obtains anywhere in its proper
form cannot be safely asserted; that it
finds any favor in the rural school is
an open question, at least. j.

Value of the Teacher.

In no other department of profession
al labor is monetary remuneration so
widely incommensurate with response
bility as in tina, of neutrality-suspicious.
al teaching; and in no other line OF
quackery are practitioners more excess
sively overpaid than in that of "keepin'
skool."
Remarkably indulgent or ignorant or
needless have the patrons of our schools
remained while the weighty and far
reaching obligations of the teacher have
been assumed and presumably dis
charged by boys and girls who should
remain pupils yet for decade, and then
but fairly perform duty so exacting
as that of the teacher, or by men and
women too indolent to equip them
selves, too penurious to spare funds
essential for providing themselves with
books, or too confident of their own
abilities to feel the need of further prep
aration.
The estimate of the worth of the
teacher by the public is the estimate of
the average struck by comparing all
whom they know personally or through
the children; this estimate is essentially
faulty because merit is less obtru sive
than demerit, and the popular mind
draws conclusions from noise rather
than from silence, thus permitting the
jars of the quack to overbalance the
harmonies of the real teacher in the
forming of final judgment upon the
profession.

plainly that the intervals of calling
