Nricrnhes In School Pencils.

Infection in school pencils is a sub
iect that has been receiving consider
able attention in England. The medl-
cal inspectors of the Board OF Schools
have issued a protest against the Gus
tom of the indiscriminate use Of pen
ellis by children. Nearly every one is
ant to put a pencil in the mouth before
nsing il. and numerous cases of skin
and mouth diseases have led to the
conclusion that this habit is at the root
of the trouble. the child often getting
a pencil that has been in some otner
child's mouth. Infection Of all kinds
can be carried in this manner, n
each child should have a pencil OF Its
own, if it has to be tied about the
child's neck with a string before 1t
leaves for school. "

Army Omcers Who Speak Spanish.

The Army and Navy Journal states
that 304 commissioned officers Of the

and that most of these are serving in
the Philippines and the West Indies.
About as many more officers possess 4
limited knowledge of Spanish. French
is spoken by 224 officers; German by
1856; the language of the American In
dians by thirteen; Italian by three;
Swedish and Norwegian by four and

Indirect LiShfDfpr

The best disposition of the lights In
large public halls is a matter of con-
siderable moment. Many of the mod.
ern halls, Hobbies, etc, have the lamps
concealed in opalescent globes, which
ditfuse the light and protect the eyes
o the glare Of the incandescent fila
ments, electric lamps being almost in
variably employed. In the auditorium
and drawing Dom of the University
of Wisconsin a system OF indirect
lighting is to be employed. The lamps
themselves will be invisible to persons
in the rooms. Opaque r%efiectors will
throw the light from the lamps, which
are concealed around the room, on to a
dead white ceiling. The ceilings will
reflect the light uniformly throughout
the rooms. Such a method Of lighting
Is absolutely unique, and is not en-
ployed elsewhere in America. The au-
thorities of the engineering depart
ment of the Wisconsin University feel
sure that, despite it's novelty, it will
prove a decided improvement over ex.
listing schemes of interior lighting.

ANIMALS RIGHT 70 WARNING,
they Are Entitled to Have the LocorAs
tive Whistle Sounded.

The old dispute as to whether anr
mails can be said to reason" has been
given practical Importance by a recent
decisionsBf the Iowa Suprem& Court.
Graybill brought suit against the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway
for killing stock at q crossing. 1t was
shown that the engineer had failed to
warn the animals by whistling. The
railway company contendI that the
whistle signal required by law was
intended only for the prote1r~a. of
human beings. The Court, however,
Instructed the jury that animals were
also entitled to such warning, and>a
verdict was returned for the plaintiff.
This provision" said Judge Thor
nell, in the lower court, "is for the
safety of persons and animals near the
crossing and about to cross, to warn
them of the approach Of the train, and
to enable them to avoid injury" The
railway company excepted to this in
struction, and appealed to the Supreme
Court. The Supreme Court sustained
the instruction, and in an opinion by
Justice Sherwin held that animals
have sufficient reasoning power to en-
able them to recognize the approach
Of danger and take measures to avoid
it.
The rule II evidence thus estab-
lished is evidently detrimental to the
railways, for it requires them to be
as careful in warning animals of the
approach Of their trains as they have
been in warning men. It makes fail
ure to give the statutory warning be-
cause no human being now in danger
no longer excusable. The Iowa attor-
ney for the railway has filed an elab-
crate argument for rehearing, in
which he denies that animals possess
the faculties ascribed to them. He
admits that they may be frightened by
a locomotive whistle. He denies the
possibility of conveying by such means
information which the animals can
turn to account for their own safety.
No careful observer of the conduct
of animals will agree with the railway
company's contention. No II honored
with the friendship of an intelligent
dog doubts that the dog fears punish
ment, seeks reward, and is sensitive to
praise or ridicule. That animals rec
ognize at least proximate causes of
pleasant or unpleasant effects seems
pretty we'll established. They know
when, though not often why. their
masters are pleased or displeased.
They learn the consequences to them
selves Of such pleasure or ~disp1easure.
That they learn by experience to avoid
danger is unquestioned. That they may
be moved by sounds Or gestures to re-
coil from a danger of whose nature
they are ignorant is tolerably clear.
There seems to be no reason why
animals habitually near q railway
may not learn that a locomotive whis-
tie means danger. If they can so
learn, they are certainly entitled to
the protection given by such irforma-
ton. Until their inability so to learn
is established they are at least entitled
to the benefit of the doubt. The Iowa
Supreme Courts ruling will be ap-
proved by every friend Of animals. The
ground 1t takes is that toward which
science is steadily moving.-Chicago

London's Strand is Being Mod

AOhuOh SbFdHO Is being MO0efnlIeds
Before many years the old Strand
will be among the forgotten landmarks
Of old London. The latest pieces sim
gled out by the building wreckers in
cludes a few shops adjoining Beaufort
buildings, n narrow side street leading
to the Savoy Theatre, at the rear end
of the Hotel Savoy. Between these
shops and the Hotel Savoy the work of
demolition has already begun by clear
ing away an acre of ground. This
space will largely be used as a court
yard for the hotel, similar to that of
the Hotel Cecil, with a wide opening
to the Strand, in place of the present
narrow entrance.
To overcome the difficulty of the
steep grade it is intended to arch over
the space between the street and the
hotel, which will result in sinking the
box Office Of the theatre almost COM
pletely under ground. Access to it
will be had by elevators. Tt is not e1-
pected that these Improvements will
be finished for two years at least

What will this solar motor and it's
successors do? is a natural question.
This pioneer engine In the Golden Gate
State has already demonstrated it's
ability to raise water from a well Of
ordinary depth at the rate of 400 gal
Ions per minute. Granted rs has been
claimed, that it can develop fifteen
horse power. 1t will be seen that it will
not require a great number Of solar
motors to operate a manufacturing
plant of ordinary size. To the resident
Of the country where this initial motor
has been erected, however, d land
where sunshine is plenty and water is
exceedingly scarce, this power so cas-
lily developed has suggested another
and a bigger Observation-Disclosures.
Government officials have estimated
that fully one-third of the area of the
United States is embraced in arid
America -- that immense tract where
water can be had only by sinking wells
of varying depths, and where even
then there is no means Of distributing
the life.giving fluid to the famished
land. To this region the solar motor
is likely to prove Il godsend. Here the
u shines almost continuously during
the daylight hours, and when a model
engine, such as has been erected at
Los Angeles, Is capable of lifting sutfi-
cient water to irrigate several hun
dred acres, it may readily be imagined
what will be accomplished when the
deserts Of the Southwest are dotted,
with solar motors as the plains of Ne
braska are now with windmills. More
over, vast mining interests are devel-
oping in this section Of the country,
and practical men who have investt-
gated the question within the past few
weeks declare that there is no reason
why the energy captured from the sun

A writer in McClure's Magazine say
that the atom of today is still a scien-
tifc abstraction. Many facts have
been brought to light that make it ap-
pear certain that matter is not con-
tinuous-is not capable of infinite sub
division. Dalton, the Quaker school
master of Manchester, was the first one
to bring the atom down to earth and
make it a useful idea. The atomic
theory, proposed by Dalton in the early
years of this century, lives today, AM
is stronger than it has yer been, not
withstanding the efforts that have been
made to show that it is built upon
sand. 1t has been and is today ar
extremely useful theory. Whether it
will always continue to be SO Is anoth-
err question and one that need not
bother US.
