show "a Remarkable Gain.

The census bureau has just given
out statement showing the condi-
ton of the manufacturing industries
of the states of Idaho, Nevada and
Wyoming. Idaho showed gain of 1873
per cent. over 1890 in the value of
product, which was $4,520,532. Wyo-
ming's product was $4,30l ,24o, gain
of 81 per cent. over 1890. The manu-
featuring product of Wyoming was
s1,643,675. This is a slight improve
ment over the showing of 1890. The
principal manufactured product of
Idaho in 1900 was lumber. The prin-
cipal item in both Wyoming and Ne
Vada is the output of the railroad re-
pair shops.

MONKEY MENTALITY.
Prof. Thorndike, of Columbia UNI
versity, Makes It a Study.
It IL His Opinion That the Little AMI
mails Have Earned the Right to
No Chased Mentally with
Men

Monkeys, their Characteristics and
their impulses were told of by Prof.
Edward Lee Thorndike, of the Teach
ers' college, Columbia university, in
his lecture on "The Mental Life OF
Monkeys" before the Columbia sum-
mer session in Schermerhorn hall the
other afternoon. Prof. Thorndike
said that he kept one monkey at his
home in New York city for more than
year, and two other monkeys for
about four months. He studied them
thoroughly and asserted that in way
the mind of o monkey resembles the
mind Of man in that monkeys, like
men, pursue the method of learning
by selecting impulses and associating
them with impressions.
Though there is a wide practical
difference between the minds of mon
keys and tho.e of men, the profess
sor said, he expressed belief that
If monkeys had the same chance for
advancement as men, some of them
might have as good minds, and he add
ed that monkeys have earned the
right to be placed in the same mental
class with men.
'The monkeys that l studied were
South American animals of the genus
Cebus," continued Prof. Thorndike.
81 used all sorts of contrivances to
test their intelligence. One of my
tests was to place looped string on
wire nail and have monkey No. pull
it off. Although this monkey sue
ceeded very well, and was watched by
Monkey No. for many minutes, the
latter was never able to pull the
string off the nail. That shows the
sense of observation is very weak.
"While monkey cannot be COM

gence, 1t can be compared to an in
FAINT. taught the three monkeys that
had TO unwind wires, to operate lev
ers and to do other things of sim
ilar nature. After many experiments
| came to the conclusion that monkeys
have very little ability to learn from
human beings. They are taught main
ly by means of the power of sense"
Prof. Thorndike said that human be-
ings are governed by much the same
impulses that govern cats and dogs,
there is general tendency in all to
select the situations which are the
most comfortable. According to the
professor, monkeys rely more upon
the power of vision than upon the pow
er of smell. "Unlike man, they have
the power of clearer vision" he said
"a monkey will notice hair on your
hand six feet away. In this way he
| resembles man."

The pure milk question is becoming
OF such Importance that it has been
taken up by the courts. Several cases
have occurred in Iowa under a law of
that state prohibiting the addition of
water or any other substance to milk
offered for sale. The courts hold
that the law is constitutional. They
declare further that if the sub
stances mixed in the milk are not
deleterious, even If they are used
only to preserve its sweetness and
without intent to defraud, the dealer
who is guilty of offering the sophis-
ticated milk for sale must pay the
penalties of the law. Statutes
against the sale of impure or even di-
luted mixtures as milk cannot be too
rigid and cannot be too rigidly en-
forced.

Would You believe it If we were to
s.,a cb;,ar., .o live children who
have never seen the
Tic country lake? If you don't,
just go down to the Chicago bureau
of charities some of these days and
ask Superintendent Rcknell about it,
says the Chicago Chronicle. He will
tell you that this is really true. and,
moreover, that many of these children
live within mile or two of the lake
shore. Why have they not seen the
lake? Because they have no money
to spend in car fare and they cannot
walk, for they are too small or do not
know the way. There are thousands
more, says Superintendent BickneI,
who have never seen the country, and
many who have never even glimpsed
at the parks of the city. This state U
affairs youlittle people who live In pref
ty places cannot realize, but ii ever
you were to be taken over in the very
poor district you would understand
why it is SO. The bureau, however, has
begun it's regular summer work of
sending out companies of these little
children to the country or giving them
some kind of an outing. The good that
| is done the children in two weeks time
of living in pure air and with plenty of
food is so great that often when they
return they do not look like the same
children who were sent away such q
short time before. Superintendent
Bicknell tells of sending n party of
seven children to the country not many
days ago, of whom six had never seen
Lake Michigan, and not any of them
had ever seen the country. On the way
down tn the city the little girl who
individual, told her experiences on her
| journey to the lake, and then described
the big body of water. The other six
sat breathless while she told the tale,
their little faces interest and aston
ishment. Often the good country folk
who take these waits for short visit
become very fond of their little Wis
itors and adopt them. In this way they
fall into good homes and are well cared
for. After time they grow accus-
toned to the country, but at first they
are usually very lonesome, because it
IL SO quiet and there's SO much ROOM u
as one little girl expressed it.

-, He is in demand. If
he be mentally well
"""s equipped and have
character and common sense to back
his knowledge. he will find that there
are opportunities open to him, often
on the very threshold of his business
career. such as the young man of an
earlier day would dream of as the goal
only of long years of waiting and work
ing, says the Scientific American. Dur
ing recent visit to that hive of in
dustry which swarms around Pitts
burgh, and in the valleys Of the Monon-
gahela and Allegheny, we were i'm
pressed with the fact that in most Of
2 the great manufacturing esta blish-
ments the highest positions of respon-
sibility Were filled by men who were
prime of life. That such young heads
should SO often be directing vast indus
trial concerns is due in part to the
amazing rapidity with which new in
dustries have sprung up during the
past decade, and in part to the fact
that the keen competition of the age
calls for the adaptiveness and energy
which are the natural qualities of
youth. Time was when there was an
overplus, especially in the technical
trades and professions, of the supply
OF qualified young men, but to-day con-
ditions are entirely reversed. Clear
proof of this was shown at the recent
annual commencement exercises of the
Stevens institute of technology at Ho-
boken, when out of 40 graduates only
dozen were present to receive their
diplomas. This unprecedented condi-
tion of things was explained by Presi-
dent Morton on the ground that the de-
mand for gradua ties to fill business po-
sitions this year had been the most ur-
gent in the history of the institute, and
that most of the absentees had been
induced to leave the institute week or
more before commencement, in order
that they might begin their profession
al duties at once. President Morton
further stated that the whole of the
40 graduates could have secured posi-
lions at once if they had so desired.
There is NO gainsaying the significance
of such facts as these, and as like con-
ditions will produce like results, it is
probable that before many years have
elapsed these young graduates will
have risen to positions which are both
responsible and remunerative.
