In the department Of child study Of the

mltted by the fact OF the investigation.
And this admission Is doubly interest
Ing because II comes from Professor
smedley. Professor smedley's inVesu-
cations so far seem to be confined to
physical conditions. lie suggests that
improperly fed children have weaker
memories as well az bodies Defective
eyes are also suggested az another rea-
son for bad spelling. The theory IL that

produce II correctly. In this latter tho-
DRY there seems TO be a point which
the lay mind concerned with results,
and observing that the spelling results
Of Chicago school training are deeid-
eddy poor. may reflect upon with prof
II. The old system, by which children
were taught to spell by steady prae-
tico In vocal combining OF letters into
words. is regarded as very crude and
bad by the apostles OF the new meth
DDS" For II has been largely super
seeded by what is called "the visual
method" which seems TO be that n
child shall first be taught what word
looks like as n whole and then shall
learn TO spell II by taking II to pieces
and trying to put the pieces together
again.

PUTTING our FIRE IN snIPs.

A new method OF extlnguishing fres
on board ship has recently been tested
at Bremen. II consists In fitting pipes
in every compartment Of the vessel,
communicating with the deck, and act
ing as safety-vAlves through which
smoke may ascend In case OF FIRE, thus
giving warning OF danger. and making
It possible TO watch the progress OF a
fire In the hold without removing the
matches. The chief feature OF tho sys-
TEN is the use OF carbonlo acid gas,
to be pumped through the pipes into
the hold until the DIRE is extingulshed.
Provision ia made for introducing the
gas under pressure among the cargo,

The Waste of Politics.

Two men well versed in politics, ac-
cording to the Columbia State, calcu-
late that next summer there will be
more than forty candidates in the field
for State Offices in South Carolina. Il
each one should speak, fifteen min
utes in each of the forty counties,
there would be nearly $4,000 minutes
of campaign oratory. Consideration
of these figures will demonstrate the
terrible waste of politics. Putting ten
hours as the length of the working day
and 81 as the average days wage-a
low rate, it is true, but yet more than
the average Office seeker would be able
to earn at legitimate work-and put
ting the average attendance upon po-
litical gatherings at 800 persons, we
have the following interesting exhibit
of time and money wasted:
By the spakers, forty days, equal to
By the aggregate audience, 10000
days, equal to $40, coo.
Total, s20.040.
This does not include, of course, the
additional loss to be credited to de-
posits at the dispensaries, to the loss
upon shoe leather, harness, the wear
and tear of vehicles and the general
demoralization of the communities alb
sorbed temporarily in campaign of
wind. Is it possible that the State
is ever repaid for the loss Of the $40, )
900 alone?-Southern Farm Magazine.

The, lsthmian Canal.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The report
of the Isthmian canal commission is
well under way, but it is stated au-
thoritatively that it will not be ready
to be sent to the president until about
November 20.
Mr.. Huntin, president of the Panama
Canal company, is still holding fre-
quent conferences with the commits
sioner but up to this time mas not
made definite proposition for the sale
of the Panama canal to this govern
ment. It is expected, however, that
Mr.. Huntin will make known within a
few days what terms his company will
dispose of it's interests. It is the in
tention of Admiral Walker, the chair
man of the commission, to call a meet
ing of the full commission for some
date during the first two weeks of No
vember when the report will be for
mally agreed to and signed and for
warded to the president for transmits
sion to congress. Admiral Walker
called on the president today and had
8 short conference with him on the
subject of the report.

France BuIlies Turkey.

Paris, October 31.-"The entire
French Mediterranean squadron left
yesterday afternoon" says the Toulon
correspondent of the Figaro. While
one division put in at Salins d'Hyeres,
another, consisting of three battle
ships and two cruisers, under COM
mand of Admiral Caillard, proceeded
to the Levant. 1900 troops will be
added to this force. Admiral Caillard's
orders are that, if complete salts
faction is not Immediately given by
the Ottoman Government to all the
claims of France, he shall seize the
custom house of the port nearest his
squadron. It is believed his destina-
tion is the island of Mitylene or Salon
ika. The island commands the entrance
to the Dardanelles and the Gulf of
Smyrna.
Several morning papers confirm the
Figaro's Toulon advices.
Rumors to the same effect were cur
rent in Paris late last evening, but the
foreign Office professed to know moth
ing about the matter.
