Magnetic Disturbances in Russis

The Russian province Of Kursk proves to be one of the most remarka- ble areas of magnetic disturbances yet known. MT. Moureaux reports that the differences between theory and obser- ration are so great that it is not pos sible to draw isomagnetic lines. and the magnetic force is as great as it would be in the immediate vicinity of the magnetic poles. The dip of the needle ranges from 48 to 79 degrees. At two points, about 450 yards apart. the declinations are minus Il degrees and plus 45 degrees, and the variation at two places about a mile and q quar- ter apart is from minus 34 degrees to plus 96 degrees. Nothing near the sur face to cause these anomalies is known to exist

Great Britain is Making Preparations to

Difficulties If Necessary - Mexicans
are Preparing to Fight the Indians.


While the members of parliament
and officials present in the house of
commons at the propagation of parlia-
ment at London on the 9th, express
hope of peaceful settlement of the
Transvaal difficulties, it was evident
that an uneasy apprehension was pre-
valent that an autumn session might
be necessary to vote war supplies. Mr..
Chamberlain says: 1--WE recognize the
grievances of the outlanders and have
said that these grievances are not
merely themselves serious cause for
interposition, but are a source of dam
ger to the whole of South Africa. We
say our predominance is menaced by
the action of the Transvaal in refusing
to redress the grievances or give con-
sideration to requests hitherto put in
the most moderate language of suze-
rain power. We say that this state Of
things cannot be tolerated. We have
put our hands TO the pillow and won't
draw back. With that statement I

Transport 8 Exciting Trip.

The U. s. Transport Centennial ar
rived at San Francisco from Manila on
the 18th, after a very exciting round
trip. She narrowly missed a couple of
typhoons, was ashore on a coral reef,
where the entire crew barely escaped
capture at the hands of the Filipinos;
one of the sailors was killed by part
ing hawser and one of the quarter
masters was stabbed by colored cook.
Because of the stabbing Charles Will
son, of the Centennial's galley staff,
arrived here in irons, while Herman
Brevey, the transports quartermaster,
must go to a hospital. During the
tightening process, necessary to get the
Centennial off the reef near Manila, on
her outward trip, quantity of govern
ment stores to the value of S13, 900 had
to be jettisoned, and were eagerly APP
propriated by the Filipinos, who
swarmed about the reef and made
more than one attack for the purpose
of capturing the vessel and crew.

About 1880 in the morning Cranston
discovered burglar near the postoffice
A struggle ensued, Cranston receiving

the sound of some one being dragged
across the sidewalk, and heard man
running down the alley. Those who
realized that there was trouble
went to the scene of the shoot
Ing but saw no one and heard
nothing more. Later the murdered
mans body was found in an alley a

ing took place. In making his escape
the would-be burglar lost his watch,
which has been identified as the prop

Uniformity in County Schools.

Those who do not watch the work that
do not know. and so do not appreciate, the
changes he is making. He is not only try
ing to consolidate weak schools, bringing
all up to better work. but he proposes as
rapidly as it can be done TO establish uni
formity in text books and in lessons
throughout the county. When a school in
this city is studying, for example. the fifth
lesson of given text book, he proposes
that the county schools in his charge shall
study the fifth lesson also.
There is SO much moving from one sec
tion of the county to another-so much
moving from country to city and vice versa
this change to uniformity is very de-
sirable. 1t helps the scholars along in their
school work, and it saves money to the
parents who have text books to purchase.
1t is in every respect desirable.
None of the changes that Superintendent
Fountain is inauguratng can be speedily
carried out, but his well-known energy
will accomplish a great deal in a years
time He will soon accomplish SO much
that parents and pupils will come to see
how valuable intelligent work on the part
of a practical and trained superintendent
is. He will soon make the county schools
a good as the city schools, at least in the
primary and grammar grades. Let him
have the utmost possible help in every
ming and working for every one. No dis
trist is so small that it does not receive
thoughtful attention; no district presents
problems so difficult that he cannot find
a remedy for them.
