WHY TIE SULTAN
CAN'T PAY

1t isn't any wonder that the Sultan
cannot pay his debts If this description
of the Sultana, who was recently Wis
tied by lady of high degree, is accu-
rate. The Sultana, says the visitor,
began her career of extravaganza when
15 years old by driving about in car
riage with massive silver wheels,
shading herself beneath a parasol that
had diamond fringe and handle or
namented with rubies as big as pigeons
eggs. Her life was given up to sense
less luxury and squandering. Her
French cooks went about their work
In Valenciennes lace aprons and
sleeves, and daily servants were sent
far afield on her errands. On one oc-
casion she sent to Paris for a tooth
brush. Nothing in the world would
have made her use one until the ser
want returned with his important COM
mission. He travelled, of course, first
class, smoked the best cigars and as
tonished the Paris shopkeepers with
accounts of the household of his
mistress, which were not at all exag-
gerated.

rownship school Districts.

The school districts are being con-
solidated in many counties in Iowa.
Whereas thirty years ago there was IA
mania for dividing up the districts and
the state is covered with white school
houses exactly two miles distant from
each other, the tendency to-day is to-
ward the elimination of these sub-dis-
tricts and the establishment of town
ship graded schools. This involves the
transportation of pupils from their
homes to the central school and back
to their homes. and in many townships
in Iowa this practice is now in vogue
Superintendent Barrett, eX-Superin-
tendent Henry Sabin and the principal
educators of the state favor the town

S'There is only one train in the coun-

Ledger, Philadelphia.
The Ledger might have added that
this great train averages fifty-three
and one-third miles per hour for the
entire distance from New York to Buf-
falo, 440 miles. including four stops
and twenty y-eight slow-downs; that it
does this each business day of the
year. The attention which the Empire
State Express has attracted in every
country of the world has proved one
of the greatest advertisements for
American machinery and American
methods that has ever been put forth,
and that the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad Company is en-

Books of Alum minum.

1T is stated that experiments with
aluminium as a substitute for paper are
now under way in France. 1t is well
known that the paper used today in
the manufacture of books is not dur
able. 1t is now possible to roll alumni
mum into sheets thousands of an
inch in thickness, in which form it
weighs less than paper By use of suit
able machinery these sheets can be
made even thinner and can be used for
book and writing paper. The metal
will not oxidize, is practically fire and
water proof and is indestructible by
the jaws of worms. The cost, how
ever, now stands as a very large OBJ
stacle. A good deal of figuring is go
ing on concerning its possible reduc-
ton.
