Curious and striking Is the electrical
vacuum discharge lately described by E.
Ruhmer. The phenomenon Is best
shown In q glass tube about yard long
and an inch and half wide, the air be-
ing exhausted so that discharge from
n twclve-inch induction coil Just forms
n spark Of six inches through the air in
preference to the tube. On passing n
street current Of ITO volts through the
tube and n Wehnelt interrupter. thick
red stripe passes through the entire
length Of the tube. When the current
Is reduced. by suitable reslstances. the
stripe breaks up into glowing patches,
and IL the tube Is held upright, with
the anode uppermost. the patches group
themselves into n spiral. which slowly
turns about its axis. making rcvolu-
ton in about seven seconds. The rotn-
ton Is such that the wave line appears
TO descend. The screw is usually about
an inch In diameter and left handed,
but is, sometimes smaller and is then
riSht-handed, the pitch varying with the
current and rate of interruption.

Business Education.

1t was the privilege as well as the
pleasure Of the writer to meet Louis
Van Orden. principal Of the Washing
ton, Pa. business college. during his
trip. and he found him to be q wide
awake, energetic educator. He Is con-
templatIng starting school Of the
same kind in Waynesburg. A school OF
this kind Is much needed there. as this
little city is fast putting on metropoli-
tan airs. 1t is increasing very rapidly
in population and Is experiencing Just
now q building boom. Among the
many fine buildings in process OF erec-
tion is school building which when
completed will be q model in architec-

Home Study.

In conversation with q prominent
educator few days ago, concerning
the matters mentioned in these notes
Of last week as 10 home study by the
pupils Of schools. the writer found that
the same View Is prevailing elsewhere,
as was taken by him concerning It. t.
e.. that not one child in hundred Is In
jured by home study, or school study
either, for that matter. but that late
hours and kindred dissipation is doing
all the harm complained Of by those
who are opposed to home study. Young
boys and girls not yet in their teens are

school children appears to be pressing

investigation by Prof. Smedley shows
that eye defects are increased one-third
by the first three years OF school life.

GREAT FRENCH LIBRARY.
"A Comparison With the Great Eng
Iish One.

Ralph Thomas In Notes and Queries.
Great as are the deficiencies in the
British museum, they must be still great
er In the Bibliatheque rationale, for they
do not purchase books in anything like
the number that they do at our Ma
uonal library. l believe something like
+4,UOO year is spent in acquiring old
books. How there can be still any they
have not got is truly a marvel.
Notwithstanding that great librarian
has given the authority of his name to
the statement extensively advertised that
the Paris library is the largest in the
world, 1 still believe that the British
Museum library is the largest.
MI. Mason has got to the point where
he gets or does not get the book he asked
Tor, but not to that where the reader
asks for twenty. One day my door ticket
registered seventeen books, titles, etc,
all copied out from my tickets by the
librarian. 1t was full. The librarian
pointed this out to me as he wrote the

day" felt a great culprit.
Last year in the large room at the
British museum, had about d hundred
books out on the table at one time for
weeks. In a month l got through as
much as / could have done in six but

was that l had not also the $1,000 ref
erence books in the reading room itself

rationale there are only some two or
three thousand books of reference. The

perior. l saw that 1 could have alb
stracted a pamphlet with the Paris sys-
tenn much more easily Of it could be done
at AID than with the British museum
system.
AT the Biblotheque rationale Spartan
simplicity, as BELTS a republican country,
prevails. You must not use the library
"as a lounge" Accordingly, we have
plenty of woodward seats, and no cas-
tiers TO the chairs, and all the same
height, and for me all too low. The re-
suit of the British museum lounge sys-
TEN is that numbers of foreigners prefer
the comfort and facilities of the British
museum to their experiences of their
own country. Should the French ever
think of the British museum system, it
will please them to know that it was
devised by an Italian known as Antonio
Panizzi. L doubt if any Englishman
would have thought of making you com

1t Is no easy matter to make a good

subject certain points will be exaggerat-

are obtained by placing the horse on a
