State High School Examinations.

The state high schoo! board, con-
sisting of Governor Lind. President
Northrup, Of the university, and
Superintendent Lewis, of the state
department Of public instruction. has
concluded to abolish the state exam
nations in state high schools. Gov.
Lind some time ago recommended
that such action be taken on the
ground that the graduates are in
iured bodily and in their minds by
the intense nervous and mental
strain to which they are subjected
the last few days of the graduation
period on account of the crucial test
of final examination. To the end
that the proposition may be given a
trial President Norterup has con-
sented to introduce at the next meet
ing of the board of regents of the
state university resolution provid-
ing that graduates of the state high
schools shall be admitted to the uni
versity course upon the certificate of
the principal of the high school from
which the pupil graduated, to the
effect that the pupil stands sufficient
ly high in his studies.

Coffee Pot.

"A really good cup of coffee will go
far toward determining the character
Of repast, and in connection with fair
bread and butter will be as satisfactory
as an elaborate meal with malodorous,
pad favored slop, so commonly encoun-
tered. Coffee, with many, forms the
life or keynote of the meal, and it's
proper making has been the earnest en-
deavor of thousands. There is an eX-
luisitely delicate aroma in coffee which
is so fugitive in its character as to es-
cape in the process of boiling in the
common pot. 1t is to save this aroma
and to realize the best general results
that the present invention has been de-
signed and patented.
The improved coffee pot comprises
cylindr. cal vessel. having a closed bot
tom and a detachable cover, a conical
water vessel being located in the bot
tom thereof. Pipes lead vertically
from this water receptacle, and have
steam jet holes located contiguous to
their upper closed ends. A perforated
horizontal shelf is fixed to the pipes
and a coffee receptacle is arranged in
the upper end of the vessel and provfd-
I'd with a flexible perforated bottom
supported by the shelf: the discharge
spout opens into the main vessel close
down to the base, so that no aroma
can escape in the steam during the
boiling process. The coffee grounds
are retained in the steaming recepta-
Gle and the liquid comes out absolutely
clear of grounds or sediment. This de-
Vice should sell in any household. 1t
Is not at all expensive to manufacture

HypnOtisnl.

eft is very much to be regretted that
in our country appropriate laws re-
garding the practice of hypnotism have
as yet not been enacted. Everybody
and anybody is at liberty to exercise
his magnetic power over his friends
and acquaintance, and the public is
as yet so little familiar with the dan
gers incurred by the willing subject
that volunteers can always be found
in the little social circle, who are ready
to give hypnotism a trial
''The person who is about to be hyp-
Noticed should understand thoroughly
that he or she is thereby placed under
the absolute power of the operator.
who can do with the subject whatever
be pIeases, when the hypnotic sleep has
once been induced. He may cause his
subject to commit crimes upon waking,
of whatever kind; he may himself
commit a criminal act upon the hyp-
Noticed without fear of detection. In
France numerous cases of outrage have
thus been reported, in which suspicion
was thrown upon innocent people by
appropriate suggestion on the part Of
the operator. Murder, theft, forbery,
etc., have all been committed Indirect
ly.
But aside from such dangers it
should be understood that frequent
Approximation undoubtedly demoralizes
the individual and renders the subject
unfit for the duties of everyday life.
Ito what extent hypnotic sleep may
in the future replace the anaesthetics
which are now in use it is difficult to
say, as it is not yet possible to call
forth such degree of insensibility to
pain in every person to permit of sur
gicaI operations In good subjects,
however, even a major operation can
be performed without causing any
pain.
Public exhibitions of hypnotism, or
'Mesmerism' so-called, should be
strictly interdicted as serving no useful
purpose and only doing HARM"
In France only physicians are per-
mitted to practice hypnotism, and this
is rightly so.
AS we have before said, professors of
hypotism are advertising for pupils to
learn the art. Scoundrels will soon
learn it, and all the newspapers of
North America from Mexico to the
North Pole should caution their read
ers against it.-G. T. Angel in Our
Dumb Animals.

AGRAVITY CLOCK.


Forty.one Little Weighted Balls are EN-
pIoyed to Operat the Clock
q New York jeweler exhibits one or
tNe much talked about gravity CLOCKS.
The dial and the clock case are enIlre-
ly of glass, showing the whole mechan"
ism of it's most interesting features.
In appearance, the clock suggests a
finely finished model Of a machine or
hosting apparatus. rather than time
piece. The dial is secured to an up
right brass "A" structure, by a round
aneroid barometer, which suggests the
familiar steam gauge. Around the dial
is larage 1y-wheel, with sockets; and
10 the left of the fly-Wheel is an endless
bucket-chain lift, constructed on the
principles Of grain elevator, with q
Thermometer on the post OF the hit.
suggesting q steam valve. Forty-one
little weighted balls, each about the
size Of a large pea, are employed to op-
crate the clock: they are drawn up on
the bucket-chain, and dropped at inter-
walls of a minute into a conduit over
the f1y-Wheel, from which they roll In
to the sockets of the wheel. The wheel
carries twenty-one of the balls at one
time: and their weight revolves the
wheel. The power thus produced
swings the pendulum and governs the
hands on the dial. The wheel carries
the balls about a third of the way
around; and then they drop into an
other conduit, a triple incline. which
finally lands them at the foot of the
elevator again, where the endless chain
gathers them up for another swing
around the Circuit"
Some fine mathematical work has
been requisite for this clock. as every
thing about it depends upon the most
exact calculation. The balls must be
all of exactly the same weight, and the
momentum of each must be the sames
for, if any one of them were to lose =
fraction of a second in descending the
incline, it would miss it's proper
socket on the lift and stop the clock.
Each Of the little spheres travels two
hundred and nine teet and five inches
every day. and in the course of year
makes a journey Of over fourteen miles.
II they were to travel in relays, they
would make a record close to six hun
dred miles within year. Of course,
the problem of perpetual motion has
not been solved, SO there must be a
hidden mechanism. The clock is
mounted upon Brazilian onyx base,
inside OF which is a regular clock move
ment, which does not run the clock
proper, but merely operates the ele-
vator. A clock movement is employed
for this part because of the necessity
for accuracy, it supplies the power and
also controls it, SO that the chain es-
capes with precision once every minute.

Don't Fear I<Iondike Cold.

H. NJ Dalton and P. H. Levin, both
attorneys from St. Louis, passed
through ST. Paul, leaving on the North
ern Pacific coast train for what is
vaguely known as the klondike. They
stopped off at St. Paul for visit with
Edward j. Darragh, and while in this
city were his guests.
I'VE are not part of the wild, hap
hazard rush to the klondike" sad Mr..
Dalton to a reporter for the Globe, dis
,ussing their plans and prospects, but
we believe there are great possibilities
or young men in the new country. and
we intend to find out if we are right.
From what we have read, the great
difficulty seems to be that the passes
are blocked by heavy travel, hosts OF
people trying to get over the roads that
are ct a. heavy Wi h ans and easily
cut up. The advice usually given is TO
wait until spring, and then before the
passes are again deep with mud to go
through on the frozen ground. Now, If
the trip is to be made when things are
frozen we do not see why it is neces-
sary to wait for spring. 1t would seem
TO be as easy to get through on the first
IF6SZ6 as Oh the last OL-CS 1hO IAAoS1, Ia
brief, is our plan.
You must understand, however"
broke in Mr.. Lewis, that all OF this
is conditional We are not absolutely
set on trying our luck to the klondike
placers, or any of the adjacent streams
The possibilities of Alaska are not con-
fined to the Klondlke. There Is, for IN
stance, the Copper river, which comes
down to the coast, and which is said
to be very promising for prospectors,
and there are dozens of fields, not nee
essarily gold, which. hold out great IN
ducements More than that, general
merchandising will be a field OF great
profit for many, and if the Alaska de-
velopment makes good the wonderful
promises Of to-day it is possible that
the great fortunes will be made by
those who never try their fortunes IN
the mines. We are not committed to
any plan, and have enough capital that
will be available to enable us to try
that field of activity that promises the
most.''-St. Paul Globe.

A FAST STEAMSHIP.
from Europe to New York in Less Than
six Days.

from Europe to New York in Less Than
six Days.
Engineering science ara y til in mar
inc architecture has at last brought
Europe within less than Six days sail
from New York City. The new steam
ship Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse made
her maiden trip from Southampton to-
New York recently in five days, TWEEN
ty-two hours and fourty-fve minutes.
The best previous record was made
from the same port to New York by
the American steamer st. Paul. in SIX
days and thirty-one minutes The first
days run. of the Kaiser was 531 knots.
The runs of the successive days were.
495, .512, 554, 564, an dto Sandy Hook
1856 knots. On the voltage 80 horse
power was developed with an average
daily consumption of coal of 500 tons.
The steam pressure to the square inch
was 1856 pounds, while her screws made
an average of II revolutions to the
minute. 1t is expected that when the
machinery becomes little worn and
in perfect working condition that she
will beat her own remarkable time by
full half day, bringing it down to nVe
days and ten hours.
The new steamship now being built
for the cunard line, it is stated, Will ex-
coed the measurement of the Kaiser
by sixty or seventy feet and with a
higher rated horse power. The ire
mendous power required to drive these
enormous steamships can be more
readily realized when it is stated that
the water power at Lowell is only rated
at 10000 horse power. The speed made
by the Kaiser on the day of its fastest
record was at the average rate of about
q miles an hour. AS the average
speed of the fastest through train OH
our railways is only about 81 miles an
hour it will be seen that the Kaiser did
some pretty quick sailing, and that
even to keep up with her is going to
take some pretty sharp and sklllful
work on the part of marine engineers
who figure on the job,-Boston Jour-
nal of Commerce.

Progress in Agricultural Education.

a review of the status of agricultural
education in the United States is about
10 be published by the Department or
Agriculture. There are 65 institutions IN
oneration. under the provisions OF the
acts of July 2, 1862, and August 80, 1891.
Sixtv of these maintain courses IN agrl-
culture. In ID States separate institutions
are provided for white and colored STU
dents. Special courses in dairying ana
other agricultural industries have been
recantly established at few of the col
1eo.as The value Of additions to the
equipment of these institutions during
1894 is estimated at $11 ,415,4 95. Expert
ment stations are now in operation IN al
aha States and Territories. Sub-statons
b,vs been established in several states.
Exclusive of these the total number OF
stations is SIS, of which 81 receive the ap-
Dronrtations provided for by law. Inc
total income of the stations during 1884
was 1896, 1877, of which $719S3O came from
.f4,e Government and the remainder from
States and individuals The station pull
les.7s are now regularly distributed TO
haze million persons closely identltle0
wi! agricultural interests.
Tia work being carried on at the experA
inaal stations promises to be fruitful A
~w,Ie range Of scientific research IS oelhs
conducted in the laboratories ana plant
Sh ,uzSs and a large amount OF practicdl
exparimenting is progressing in yards
s.Gbl,s and diaries. II appears that 30
stations are studying problems relating
e n,e.aorology and climatic conditions, 80
are Investigating soils, 20 drainage ana
6rr,zA sIon, 80 conducting field expert
mems with fertilizers, 4S matters con-
need with the more important crops, 80
car.p osition of feeding stuffs and dlges-
ton experiments, % soils and sollage, 81
mo IDS Of feeding and SO dairy!ng.
R5-en.c studies occupy more or less OF
the 1ssention of q stations and horticul-
tura s2. while several stations have be-
gun ~rarations in forestry. Some idea OF
tne y~0rk done by the United States from
tn ~e-uparative point Of view may be
ca.la-ad from the fact that about $50
