Conditions in Mexico.

A. F. Weaver who returned yestcr- day from four months visit to Minas Prietas and the Sonoran capital, Hermosillo, speaks interestingly about the conditions of that portion of the Land of Manana, Hermosillo has d popu- lation of about fifteen thousand, many of them citizens of the United States. In fact large proportion of the foreign population are Germans, but as they all speak English they are generally know as Americans. The city itself, he says, is beautiful, the weather ideal, the native inhabitants courteous and agreeable. Minas Prietas and its neighbor La Colorado, one and a quater miles distant, are prosperous mining camps. They employ about two hundred and fifty Americans, all foremen or skilled laborers, who are paid good wages in gold. The natives, however, receive only $2:00 and $2.5O Mexican silver. While Minas Prietas is controlled by the Government, La Colorado practically is under the rule of the mining companies, who pay all the municipal expenses. MT. Weaver says that in Minas Prietas and La Colorado everything, excepting the natives wages, is on gold basis.

---------------------------- New Wealth in Michigan

At the last last annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, Prof. l. C. Russell called attention to the recent discovery that many of the swamps and lakes in the southern pe- ninsula of Michigan are rich in calcare- ous mari, suitable for making Port land cement. Although partly com posed of shells, the Michigan mari is principally chemical precipitate which is still being formed. The pre- else method of its formation is not yet understood. The supply is prac- tically ineXhaustible. Large cement works have recently been constructed, others are'in contemplation, and Prof. Russell says that Michigan can easily take leading place in that industry.

Athletics and Eduea,top.

Senator Hoar made 4 speech at the dis
tribution of prizes at Harvard last week,
which. as the Indianapolis Sentinel
is ION the trail of Teddy" He told them
that their education was not intended to
fit them to hunt the grizzly bear.
Literally speaking, IL is TO be hoped
that grizzly bear hunting is not the
chosen pursuit of ali the college grad
yates in the land. or that animal would
soon be extinct the ma Mammoth; and
though il is desirable that neither of
these beasts should exist in great num-
bers, 1t is we'll that some specimens
should be left for geological gardens and
the Yellowstone Park. But Senator Hoar' s
expression was probably figure of
speech There Is undoubtedly a tendency
among some OF the orators who make ad-
dresses on education to dwell too much
on what may be called muscular educa-
tion, and impress the youth with the idea
that athletic training is superior TO men
tai discipline. This will not do much
harm: but ii may be carried too far. In
TIE days when Senator Hoar went 10 col
lege men assembled there to study. and
it probably seems TO him that they now
go there TO play football, This is the
impression which great many of thu
older alumni of the colleges seem TO have.
The question how much OF a mans time.
while lie is in college, shall be given to
exercise, and how much to study. is one
which generally has to be settled by the
l-,.sl I.
character. physique. and previous training
OF The student. For example. il a coun-
try boy, fresh from the farm or the
lumber camp or the sheep ranch, went to
college. he might not be in particular
need of the training and exercise given to
the men on the football team. He has
store OF reserve physical energy and VI
fality which Will enable him to study, and
study hard without much exercise except
long walks and desultory gymnastics.
Seyentyive years ago at least half the
freshmen in every college were of this
type. Many of them were youths who had
but little money, and whose parents were
making sacrifices that they might be edu-
rated. They naturally and honorably felt
that they had little time to spare for
mere amusement. Study was often a rec
reation To them; they came to it with
fresh minds, regarding it as long-soughl
delight But even they sometimes oyerdId
the business and broke down their health
by the intense devotion which they gave
TO books. Nowadays there are not SO
many raw country boys in the older col
leses, and there is more money, ard i,

mon than in the old days. Thus athletics
and other amusements have gained new
prominence. and on the whole, it is a good
thing. II a boy has strong physique and
a reasonably well-trained mind he is likely
to be of more use in the world than if
he is thoroughly. even highly, educated.
but is weak and dyspeptic. The reason
why so many brilliant college students are
never heard of in after years is that they
have no reserve force. They put all there
is of them into their college work, and
have no leisure or strength to digest their
knowledge. Every student should take
enough exercise to keep him strong and
healthy, and as much more as he thinks
wise. 1t is better that he should be thor
oughly trained in football, than he should
be thorough in nothing.

Great Damage Wrought by a storm

CANANDAIGUA, N. Y, Nov. 3o.-The
violent rain which visited this part Of the
State on Wednesday met with tempera-

caused the water to form into ice as 1t

early next morning that the peculiar con-
ditions were observable
Reports like the sound Of musketry

crashing ceased
